1 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: It's a Scott's Loan show on seven hundred. Deputy all that, 2 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: we thanks you checking us out on air, online and 3 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 1: in your hand and your mobile VID the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: Take us wherever you go, switch over to headphones and 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: we portable like that, baby. I think we might be 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: missing the big picture when it comes to AI data centers, 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: uh semiconductor industry. You know, then tell them all that, 8 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 1: and I know that stalled a little bit. But big picture, though, 9 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: is despite all the environmental and electricity worries, what about 10 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: restoring American greatness or relative to technology, relative to manufacturing, 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: and in a different way than our previous generations did it. 12 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: I'm talking of course about Ohio now the fifth largest 13 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: host of AI data centers, and that looks to be growing. 14 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: Are we missing because of our fears and not unwarranted fears? 15 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: I think they're legitimate, But I missed the big picture 16 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: when it comes to expanding the job space here in Ohio, 17 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: which is sorely needed. Joining the show this morning is 18 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: Doug Kelly from Columbus. He is CEO of something called 19 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: the American Edge Project that deals with us. Doug, welcome back, Howray. 20 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: Thanks Scott, how are you. 21 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: I'm doing fine. The reason why most of the civilized 22 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: world speaks English because it is the business of language 23 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: and a business that we created. American entrepreneurship industry created 24 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: that environment. Dollar is the standard currency, the reserve currency. 25 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 3: Right. 26 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: How important is it to continue to lean on tech 27 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: in order to continue that and put it into context 28 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: with the congressional plan now with TikTok where they're going 29 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: to make an American health company and kind of use 30 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: that as a front. 31 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: Well, just a back one second, and let's look at 32 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 2: the importance of technology in our overall daily lives. 33 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 4: Right. 34 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 2: So tech isn't just another sector of the economy, right, 35 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: it is a very backbone of our national security or 36 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: economy and the advancement of values that we really care about, 37 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: free expression and letting your voice be heard. So the 38 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: challenge is when Congress talks about regulating technology, it can't 39 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,279 Speaker 2: paint with a very broad brush. 40 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 5: Right. 41 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 2: There's things that it can do that can either help 42 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 2: our ability to innovate and compete against China, or there 43 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 2: things they can do that can fundamentally damage our ability 44 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: to remain the technological leader in the world. They've passed 45 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 2: that chips and Science Build, which is going to help 46 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: bring more manufacturing and semi conductor chips to the United States. 47 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 2: It'll create technology hubs. It will also increase funding for 48 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: STEM education. So that's an example of a really good 49 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 2: thing that Congress is doing to help our ability to innovate. 50 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, I think that's important too, because 51 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: there is a lot of bad. There's a lot of 52 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: negative with this, and that is that our enemies have 53 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: learned to poison ups ourselves. You know, a lot of 54 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: us poison ourselves basically, which has always been the goal. 55 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: That's you know, the fallow role. I'm destroyed from within. 56 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: A lot of people predict that for the United States 57 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: of America. I think we always find a way to 58 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: write the ship though, right. We don't go away. We 59 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: figure out how to adapt and we move on. We're 60 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: really good at that, that's right. 61 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the heart of the American genius is 62 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: our ability to innovate and adjust as circumstances come. So 63 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: one of our concerns is that some of the bills 64 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: that Congress is talking about passing are things that would 65 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: undermine our ability as a country to innovate, and particularly 66 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: they would target America's most innovative technology companies. Now these companies, yeah, 67 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: they run social media platforms, they make hardware and software. 68 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: But what a lot of people don't know is that 69 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: the biggest technology companies in the US are also the 70 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: biggest investors and the most important strategic technologies that we're 71 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: battling with against kind of so artificial intelligence, robotics on them, computing, 72 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: these are all the technologies that are going to determine 73 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: who leads in the future. And so as Congress wants 74 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: to clamp down on those companies, it's going to hurt 75 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: our ability to invest in those areas, to develop and 76 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 2: master those technologies, and it's going to hand over to 77 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 2: China an edge that we're not kind of get back, 78 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: just like what happened with manufacturing. 79 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: Well in another edge too, we get back to Afghanistan 80 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: or the fall there, and how middle will rich that 81 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: country is now that China ass control of that or 82 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: Russia as control or whatever. Now, now, where are we 83 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: going to get these Where are we going to get 84 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: the precious natural resources in order to make the chips 85 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: that you're talking about. That's that's you know, we talk 86 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: about how important that is, But I think that fits 87 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: into what you're discussing here, because the topic of rare 88 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: earth minerals is now front and center. 89 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're exactly right. I mean, you know, at the 90 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 2: end of the day, we are in this competition in China, 91 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: and it's okay, who can build the most microchips, who 92 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: can have the most innovation. China knows that innovation is 93 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: its weak spot, right. They're good at copying and reverse 94 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 2: engineering things, but their challenge is innovation, and they've invested 95 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: a lot of money to boost their innovation. So at 96 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: the end of the day, the US has to do 97 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,159 Speaker 2: things that accelerates our ability to innovate, and that includes 98 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 2: things like creeing up our biggest innovators, making smart and 99 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: better in building core critical technologies here. Now, there's certain 100 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 2: things that can be done to you know, where the 101 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 2: pressure and pain points come where technology hits politics and society. 102 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: There's certainly regulations could be done there, right, Connors should 103 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: pass a privacy policy so people understand what their data 104 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 2: is being used for, what control they have over So 105 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 2: there's certainly smart things that can be done there. But 106 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 2: some of the things they're talking about in Washington right 107 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: now just undermine our ability to innovate, and they actually 108 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: don't solve the problems that people are feeling. 109 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: You know, Trump for the well second time, now there's 110 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: a new sheriff in town. Wasn't long ago where we 111 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: had dignitaries in the United States go to places like 112 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: Taiwan and try and build relationships with US. Drank in 113 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: that connection to the United States and Twan because they're 114 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: responsible for all the stuff we're talking about right now. 115 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: We make a very small percentage, like twelve percent of 116 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: those semiconductor products right now, so they're an important ally. 117 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 1: We can't give that up. 118 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 2: You are spot on what that's got. I mean in 119 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: the nineties when semiconduct were invented, right, American manufactured most 120 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: of them. Now we manufacture just twelve percent, with the 121 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: bulk of the most sophisticated chips being made in Taiwan, 122 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 2: which is just one hundred miles away from China. And 123 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: if China made a move on Taiwan that were fundamentally 124 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 2: do you think the COVID supply chain attroction was big, 125 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 2: So that would be enormous. Yeah, And so you know, 126 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: we have to be able to make sure that we're 127 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 2: making in our own backyard as well. And at the 128 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 2: same time, we have to do actions that check China's ambitions, 129 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: both from a technology sign but also from a little 130 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: boy ambition. 131 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: In regards to Doug Kelly, CEO American Edge Project on 132 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: the show on seven hundred WLW, you right there in Columbus, 133 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: You're going to see this huge Intel plant and essentially 134 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: town that is built to make semiconductors right here in Ohio. 135 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: What's that mean for the state in America as well? 136 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: I mean, that seems to be a huge step forward. 137 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: We talk about the lack of manufacturing in America, but 138 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: this is high tech manufacturing. Good for jobs and Hio 139 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: to be sure, but in top putting, having a big 140 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: footprint right here in Ohio let alone. The United States 141 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: also is kind of what you're talking about here, and 142 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: that is sounds like the United States, we're trying to 143 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: increase our share of that market. 144 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, it's going to be great news for 145 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 2: Ohio and all the Midwest. First of all, you know 146 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 2: when I talk about unintended consequences of bills that Congress 147 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: may pass, right, you know, twenty years ago Connors did 148 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: some things on manufacturing that kind of slowly led manufacturing 149 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 2: jobs over twenty years, many of them exported to China. 150 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: And so one thing we don't want to have happen 151 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: with the bills that Congress is talking about is unintended 152 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: consequences that hurt our ability to manufacture and innovate on 153 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 2: the technology side. And so the passage of this chip 154 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: bill is going to bring new jobs, three thousand new 155 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: jobs into Ohio just that plant. But at the same time, 156 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: when you have like they're building construction trades and the 157 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: other people that have to build these facilities, those are 158 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: going to be even more jobs there. So it's a 159 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 2: huge multiplier effect in building our own technology. 160 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,559 Speaker 1: Here Doug Kelly and Columbus CEO of the American Edge Project, 161 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: which is pushing more and more tech, and you know, 162 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,119 Speaker 1: we've got Intel at some point, I think third twenty 163 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: thirty one, as I saw when they opened the plant, 164 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: your Columbus you're talking about. But you know, the AI 165 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: data centers and everything else in Ohio is fifth in 166 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: the country when it comes to those data centers, which 167 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: I think is awesome, and there's some concerns there too. 168 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: You know, we talked about environmental we talked about electricity, 169 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: the power and the grid. I talk about that a 170 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: lot too, and it's could put a bigger drain on 171 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: the system, but you build more infrastructures supposed to just 172 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: prevent people from doing this. We've got to continue to 173 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: innovate and lead the world for not only our economic future, 174 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: but also for our survival too, because we we got 175 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: to stay on top ors of the Chinese and the Russians. 176 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: That's had a lot of people listening are concerned about 177 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: social media, the impact it has on young kids. For example. 178 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: Are you suggesting in some way, shape or form, maybe 179 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: an unregulated internet or it's hard to censor the First 180 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: Amendment because that is a given, inalienable right in this country. 181 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: But there's got to be a balance there. 182 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: How do you do that well, I would say that, 183 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: you know, our coalition is you know, twenty four different 184 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 2: groups of you know, people who represent small businesses, minority business, 185 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: Asian American businesses, as well as technology companies. And our 186 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 2: message is focused on the importance of innovation because sometimes, 187 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 2: you know, people forget that innovation is America's secret sauce 188 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: that puts us ahead of other countries, and it's kept 189 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 2: us ahead of other countries to address your specific question. 190 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 2: You know, at the end of the day, there are 191 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 2: certain regulations that can be done that will give people 192 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 2: clarity and insight on Okay, what could we be done 193 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: with our data? Right, so Congress could pass the privacy policy. 194 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 2: But what we're against the things that fundamentally disrupt America's 195 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: ability to innovate. And that's the thing that we feel 196 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 2: Congress is Russian full with this legislation. And it's not 197 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 2: just on I mean, when you think of the biggest 198 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 2: company Google, Amazon, Microsoft, these are companies are making game 199 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 2: cheese and investments in the technology of the future. And 200 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 2: if you if you disrupt or break apart those companies, 201 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: it's gonna have lasting consequences. So at the end of 202 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 2: the day, we're for innovation at the American Ed Project, 203 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 2: and that's what gives us our edge. But we're four 204 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 2: smart type of regulation that actually solve the problem or 205 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: against reckless regulation. 206 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: Right and generally when you start to break up companies, 207 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: you know, we say that here Cincinnati Bell, for example, 208 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: as no longer Cincinnati Bell for it. But but you 209 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: know when they broke up the baby bell and the 210 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: baby bells, you know, back in the back in the 211 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: day forty something years ago, fifty years ago, that was 212 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: to control a monopoly. I don't know if I see 213 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: that as much with big tech in that argument. And 214 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: certainly Facebook is massive, and there's a lot of big 215 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: alphabet right, a lot of big companies out there that 216 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: do this kind of stuff. But I just don't see 217 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: the tech the advantage in breaking them up. It's gonna 218 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: Does it make competition better or harder? 219 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 2: Well, there's fierce competition and right now, So for the 220 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: opponents of the big tech companies, I just challenged their 221 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: assumption and their assertion that there's not competition there. I mean, 222 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: Facebook is battling out all the time when the other 223 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 2: social media companies TikTok, and so there's really fierce competition 224 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 2: among these and that forces innovation faster. And so right now, 225 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: with the current regulatory scheme we have of how do 226 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 2: we deal with monopolistic activity, it's done to the court. 227 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: That's the right way to go. That system works. There's 228 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 2: no need to fundamentally disrupt that because technology moves really 229 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: really fast. And I'm old enough to remember my Space 230 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 2: and AOL when they were the big behemoths, right, And 231 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 2: you know what the market took care of that, So 232 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 2: we believe the market takes care of a lot of 233 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: problems in competition is the real accelerant on that. 234 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, But the argument that would be, well, if you 235 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: just made a case Kelly and said, hey, you know, 236 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: it's pretty fierce competitive now, but if we broke everything 237 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: up in the smaller companies, they are thinking, well, that 238 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: creates even more competition, doesn't it. Or the other way 239 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: to look at it as well, it's it's much tougher 240 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: now to fund those companies because almost like a startup 241 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: at the beginning, right, there's only so much you can 242 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: do with the wealth of Facebook and other companies of 243 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: a mask, it's probably easier at this point, right. So 244 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: what I'm saying is, if you're using your argument, if 245 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: you broke everything in the smaller pieces of the pie, 246 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: you create more competition? Is that not necessarily true? 247 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 2: Well, but there's some things that can only be done 248 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 2: at large scale, right, So we're in the we're in 249 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 2: the kind of the platform economy phase right of global development. Right, 250 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 2: China as a big platform. We have our big platforms, 251 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 2: and those platforms generate new ideas across a lot of 252 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: different business lines and they also generate profits which are 253 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 2: then invested into this cutting end research. And I'm just 254 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: giving example. Right in those strategic Technologies of the Future 255 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 2: that I talked about, are five bigest technology companies in 256 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 2: America invest more each year in those than the Pentagon does. 257 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 6: Right. 258 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 2: And these are dual use technologies, right, So they're both 259 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 2: for military purpose but also for commercial purpose. And so 260 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: we can either hand that as China militarily. But worse 261 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 2: of all worse is that that would give them a 262 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 2: competitive advantage. Do we want them to sell all the 263 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 2: different AI solutions? Do we want them to sell the 264 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 2: quantum computer solutions to the world and reap that economic benefit? Well, 265 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 2: that's coin of what we want. Yeah, because it really 266 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 2: matters which country and which set of values builds the future. 267 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: Is it going to be US China? It's a simple question. 268 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned that data privacy and things. It's 269 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: certainly big tech, and you know people who use big 270 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 1: tech can join hand in hand. Go, okay, that's something 271 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: we should fight. The most contentious thing, of course, is 272 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: section two thirty, which is wonky. But you know, if 273 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 1: you don't know what that means, it's simple. It means 274 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,599 Speaker 1: that platform like Facebook, for example, are not legally responsible 275 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: for what people post on them. So prior to this, 276 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: if a website you modified content or whatever, they're legally 277 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 1: responsible for anyone who posted on that website. I look 278 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: at this, it's almost like me trying to control what 279 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: a caller would say to a talk show. I can't 280 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: control what you're thinking or saying. Now, there are certain 281 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: dirty words I can bleep out and the like, but 282 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: generally your message is as long as you don't swear, 283 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: you can say pretty much whatever the hell you want. 284 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: I kind of look at it that way. When it 285 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: comes to section two thirty. It's bad and you have 286 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: people can lie and spread mistruths, and you pretend to 287 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: be a I don't know, a sixteen year old girl 288 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: when they're actually a seventy five year old man. I 289 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: get that, but by and large, I don't, you know. 290 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: I kind of look at it the same way. 291 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, A whole point behind section two thirty 292 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: was to help innovation go and grow, and it has 293 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: served its purpose, specifically on the content moderation piece. Look, 294 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: we believe in having more voices in the marketplace, right 295 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 2: or at the end of the day, the best ideas 296 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 2: are going to win. And yeah, exactly what you said, right. 297 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 2: There's certain techniques and activities in as far as actors 298 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: are going to do, but more voices in the marketplace 299 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 2: being able to speak their truths and be able to 300 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: say what their opinion is. 301 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 3: That's better. 302 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: That helps our country, that builds a stronger, more robust electric. 303 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: Doug Kelly, CEO of American Edge Project up in Columbus, 304 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: and it's all about American led innovation and keeping the 305 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: Internet open, which I agree pretty well with most of 306 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: this stuff. Anyway, Doug gott to go. Thanks for the tome. 307 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. 308 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: Hey, thanks Scott Idate. 309 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: You too as well. We're about to five minutes away 310 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: for news on seven hundred WW traffic weather all that. 311 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: Don't have to tell you. The Deep Freeze continues into 312 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: our second week. We love the first one so much. 313 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: It is back for command performance. The frozen tundra of Cincinnati, 314 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: northern Kentucky and Indiana. 315 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 7: UH. 316 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: Probably going to stay in this weekend a little lull 317 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: because there's no NFL football this weekend and big stuff 318 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: is pretty much out. Really college basketball, as you had 319 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 1: X and a UC playing this weekend at home and 320 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: some other stuff as well, but now largely maybe it's 321 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: time to catch up on some streaming stuff. I got 322 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: some stuff for you to do, some streaming related things. 323 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: Will Gans is here from Maybe See in New York. 324 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 1: Three things for your relative to the small screen if 325 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna stay in, which is a good idea. He'll 326 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: get to that next Scott Sloan show back after News. 327 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: I'm Home of the Red seven hundred WLWD. 328 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 8: Now a man who has entertainment reporting of coursing through 329 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 8: his veins, which makes him a medical opity. 330 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 3: He is ABC's Will Gans from New York Corner. 331 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: Will Haist things things are cold.

And you know, 369 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 4: pretty soon you realize that it doesn't look like. 370 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 3: Both of them will make it out alive. So it is. 371 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 3: It is gross and gory, but. 372 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 4: You know, that's why it's fun to see it in 373 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 4: the theater because when it does get a little bloody, 374 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 4: you know, people are screaming, and then parts of it 375 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 4: are also laugh out loud funny. So I had a 376 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 4: really really good time watching it, and it's just like 377 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 4: a reminder that she is so good.

He said 666 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: he was there as a journalist chronicling protesters, and the 667 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 1: arrest came after a magistrate last week rejected the prosecutor's 668 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: initial charge that he'd be arrested, and so this got 669 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: kicked up to a more i suppose conservative leaning judge 670 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: and that'll probably get overturned and then support it again 671 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: and we'll kick this can down the road and see 672 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: what the courts rule ultimately. But right now it's unclear 673 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 1: what charge that he is facing. Although I remember when 674 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: we talked about this, I think I want to say 675 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: the Ku Klux Klan Act is probably the one that 676 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: comes up and basically outlaws interfering within civil rights like 677 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: civil warship for example. And then of course's defense was I 678 00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: wasn't there protesting. I was there documenting the protesters. The 679 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 1: problem I have with that I see the connection that 680 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: they have, and I think it's kind of weak in that, Okay, 681 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: we're going to protest this person who's the head of 682 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: ICE in Saint Paul, who also happens to be a 683 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: minister at this church, and I don't believe, as I recalled, 684 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: that he was there that day, but they're going to 685 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: show up anyway in protest. Well, if you're there to 686 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 1: protest that individual, there are probably better ways to do that. 687 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 4: You know. 688 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 1: It's like when these clowns show up and protest at 689 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: someone's house, you know, Judge Kavanaugh for example, someone like that. 690 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: You know, everyone has their role in life, everyone has 691 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: their job, and we live in the doxing culture right now, 692 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: where in the extremes are that simply we're going to 693 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: show up and do harm to someone on their own turf. 694 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: And that's maybe it's nothing new, but it's more prevalent 695 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: today in that if you're going to do that and 696 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 1: you show up at someone's home, you also have to 697 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,840 Speaker 1: think about, well, okay, what about his neighbors? You know, 698 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: if I live next door to this guy. That's a 699 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: problem for me. You know, I get the notion of 700 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: the first amount of protest. I think it just goes 701 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 1: too firelight or you know, for those people who are 702 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: showing up in front of Greg Lansman's house, you know, 703 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: he's got a family, he's got kids, and it's just 704 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: because it's your you know, just because it's someone you 705 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: despise or support, doesn't mean you should be four against them. 706 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,720 Speaker 1: It should be I'm going for consistency here. And the 707 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: problem is this though, that if you do this with 708 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: Don Lemon, and there may be some valid arguments there too, 709 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 1: because what constitutes a journalist in this day and age. 710 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: Everyone is a journal We're all journalists. Look at the 711 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: people who captured the shooting in soda on their cell phones. 712 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 1: Technically even you are a journalist. There's another story out 713 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: another journalist arrested during that church protest as well. Who's 714 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: an independent journalist? Which are allowed to be? They got 715 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: to clarify what a journalist means exactly. It could be 716 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: anyone who has their cell phone out, Does that make 717 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: you a journalist? I think that's the crux of the 718 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: argument here. Now you have plenty of independent journalists with 719 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: John Lemon, with his track record in history, certainly said hey, listen, 720 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 1: I had a show on CNN for a while and 721 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: certainly more a household than the other. I think some 722 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: woman got arrested too, But nonetheless, we got to qualify 723 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: what makes a journalist a journalists and who you know? 724 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 1: The First Amendment? Right, does it apply to everyone in 725 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 1: that role? And I think there are a lot of 726 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: people that argue yes in that particular case. But you know, 727 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: back to the point of showing up at someone's house 728 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,439 Speaker 1: or in this case, how's the worship that seems below 729 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: the belt to me? That you are in this this 730 00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: this place of warship and then you have people coming 731 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: into protests that is all? Is that kind of like 732 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 1: burning the flag? 733 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 4: Right? 734 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,280 Speaker 1: I despise the flag burning thing, but as an American 735 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: I get it, like we we're so self aware, we 736 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: don't take ourselves serious enough to think that burning that 737 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: symbol of America is not worthy of protected speech because 738 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: it is now. It bothers a hell to me when 739 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,200 Speaker 1: people do it, especially during protests, or hanging it upside down. 740 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:23,279 Speaker 1: But you know what, again, to show you the lack 741 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: of consistency in this world, that I would say that, 742 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,040 Speaker 1: you know, if you respect the flag enough to know 743 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: the flag code, that you don't burn it and drag 744 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: it on the ground and hang it upside and people 745 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: are outrage about that stuff, I will say that then 746 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: the same rules apply to those folks on the right 747 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: who have the image of well Donald Trump on it 748 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 1: or Charlie Kirk. I said, there's a house side drive 749 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: by them my way home. Every day. He's got to 750 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: get the Charlie Kirk flag outside. And it's an American 751 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: flag with Charlie Kirk's face on it. That's also desecration 752 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: of the flag. You don't you don't care have it 753 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 1: both ways. It's if you're going to talk about the 754 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: flag being desecrated and dragged and burned, and you also 755 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: can't do that. Putting someone's image on a flag is 756 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,359 Speaker 1: no goat. But the Don Lemon thing's gonna be interesting. 757 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: I think it ultimately winds up getting thrown out. I 758 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: really do not that, you know. Again, what bothers me 759 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,720 Speaker 1: more is people showing up inside a church to disrupt 760 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 1: a service when the person who you are there to 761 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: make a point about isn't there. I mean, what are 762 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,879 Speaker 1: you doing over here? Nonetheless, that just happened minutes ago here, 763 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: so we'll continue to follow it. You know, as someone 764 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: in the remodeling, home improvement DIY real estate business, I 765 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: often talk about, maybe not often as strong word, but 766 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 1: h O ways pissed me. Homeowners associations, Not all of them, 767 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 1: I think buying large Probably most of them are a 768 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: bunch of people who are on a board going, hey, listen, 769 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: I want to make sure my neighborhood doesn't. We have 770 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: certain standards in the neighborhood, and we've got to buy 771 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: by the stand I get that. You know, we want 772 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,720 Speaker 1: to make sure that people's property values stay up, especially 773 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: and you know, again, I don't think most areas have 774 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: eight or most neighborhoods have hoays, especially older ones. But 775 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: you know, you see that your houses falling into disrepair, 776 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: people not caring about stuff, leaving trash on the lawn. Yeah, 777 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: you try to sell your house, and even so you 778 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 1: look at it and go, oh, that's an eyesore. I 779 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: don't know if I'll a live across the street from that. 780 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 1: You know, someone with all their stud you just leaving 781 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: Christmas atoa year or whatever. It is just state of 782 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: disrepair and whatever reason that may maybe elderly people can't 783 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 1: afford it. I get that. But then there's field it's 784 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: just simply zero poops given. But then they're the hoays 785 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: that are out there, and there are many around Cincinnati 786 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: where they just feel like it is their job to 787 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: police every little thing about the neighborhood. This just happened 788 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: in Nashville. Now, Nashville was hit by a severe ice storm. 789 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: As you know, we're more equipped than Nashville to deal 790 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: with this, but then again, Columbus and Cleveland are more 791 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: equipped than us to deal with it because the further 792 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,359 Speaker 1: north you get, the more chances to know, I get it. 793 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 1: So in Nashville, they were absolutely pummeled by this last storm. 794 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: As you know, I think what two or three hundred 795 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: thousand places homes without power down there. It's frightening. I 796 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: saw some video from where was it Old Miss? Yes, 797 00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: Old Miss and trees were falling. It looked like a 798 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: hurricane struck there. So much ice did damage, knock a 799 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: bunch of trees done. They're suffering a lot in the 800 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: Deep South. They're just not used to this kind of 801 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: cold and these kind of temperatures. So anyway, back to Nashville, 802 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 1: family loses their power, and so what do you do, Well, 803 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,839 Speaker 1: we have a generator cool. They hook the generator up 804 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: and they have power and they're heating their home. Here 805 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: comes the HOA. HOA comes in and with hours of 806 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,960 Speaker 1: them putting the generator. You know, as you know hopefully 807 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 1: you know, if you use a gas generator, you have 808 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 1: to have it outside, right, you put that inside, you 809 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: will die because of carbon monoxide. There's stickers all over 810 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: those things. Do not operate this inside, do not do it. 811 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:53,640 Speaker 1: So they fired the motor up, the engine up, and 812 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: run these cords inside, some extension cords, and literally hours 813 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,359 Speaker 1: after doing that, the family gets an email from their 814 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 1: HOA management company, Metropolitan Properties, demanding they remove it immediately. 815 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 1: The letter cited fire hazard concerns and said the generator 816 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: didn't fit the communities aesthetic guidelines during a blizzard, during 817 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: an ice storm. So how this happens usually, and I 818 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: have first had experience with this myself, I'm going through 819 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: a similar situation. Now I'll explain. A second is that 820 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,800 Speaker 1: you have neighbors who generally they're the agents of the HOA. 821 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,319 Speaker 1: So you know, they're elected or appointed wherever it might be, 822 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,960 Speaker 1: and they go around and they look for infractions, and 823 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:34,800 Speaker 1: most people do that. I was like, Okay, well the 824 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: grass a little high over there, or hey, you know 825 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 1: your fence has fallen over, or hey you got a 826 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: broken down car in your front yard.

So and then we moved 939 00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,880 Speaker 1: forward from that. I got another one too, speaking of 940 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: you know, punitive stuff. A tenant who has a park 941 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,040 Speaker 1: in a parking lot, but he has a car cover 942 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 1: and the car cover was under his car, and they 943 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: came and took the car cover from underneath his car 944 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,440 Speaker 1: because you like, you know, covered up is a nice 945 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,839 Speaker 1: car and it has covered up during the winter, or 946 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 1: like you know, so snowfalls again on it. Yeah, finally 947 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 1: one that's certainly not bothering anybody. It's under his car 948 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,200 Speaker 1: and they come, well, we thought it might blow away. 949 00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: We don't know whose it was like if you took 950 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:13,839 Speaker 1: it out and and said, oh, maybe something blow into 951 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 1: this guy's car.

And they're quoting some violations 955 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 1: like do you just go out and look for stuff 956 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,399 Speaker 1: to occupy your Are you that enamored with the rules 957 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,839 Speaker 1: because they're gonna play that gay chances?

If you know things are out there, they're 963 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: laying around, it's a problem. And okay, yeah, we want 964 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,240 Speaker 1: a nice neighborhood to live in with hoa's, but h's 965 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 1: are not always, not all of them. I shouldn't say that. 966 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,600 Speaker 1: But there are some really nightmare stories out there, including 967 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 1: this one. Initial Now that's a new one. The power 968 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 1: went out. It's some zero freezing temperatures. We put our 969 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:07,720 Speaker 1: generator on our on our porch with the extension courts, 970 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:10,800 Speaker 1: and within hours of doing that, you're driving around the 971 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:15,799 Speaker 1: neighborhood looking for people to site during a state of emergency. 972 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,279 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not I don't like you know, brought 973 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,799 Speaker 1: Don Lemon and other people the whole doxing thing, right 974 00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,880 Speaker 1: was showing up to people's houses finding out who they 975 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,719 Speaker 1: are and going online and ruining their lives and you know, 976 00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 1: finding their businesses and who they work for, and you know, 977 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,200 Speaker 1: just trying to you know, just being thoughtless and ruining 978 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 1: people's lives because you don't like what they're doing, you 979 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 1: disagree with them. And maybe there are some people who 980 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 1: are legitimate scumbags that deserve that. However, most people are like, ah, 981 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 1: I said or did something done, and now we're going 982 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:45,359 Speaker 1: to go and make sure they get fired and their 983 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 1: kids get in trouble at school, and we just go 984 00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 1: and go and go and go and go, and it's 985 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 1: we have too much time on our damn hands. It's 986 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,279 Speaker 1: the problem.

Not one line to 989 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 1: be spiteful, but just because they have nothing better going on. 990 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 1: In their lives and you really need you need a 991 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,799 Speaker 1: different hobby. I would think, you know, hoa's can be good, 992 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 1: and I think they're They're certainly useful. And if you 993 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 1: live in a nice neighborhood, keeping the value of your 994 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:17,680 Speaker 1: home up is wonderful. But there are always people that 995 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,960 Speaker 1: find the extreme of that and take it way too 996 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,719 Speaker 1: damn far and have zero common sense. This would be 997 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,760 Speaker 1: one of them. This would be one of them. Sloani 998 00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 1: here on seven hundred, w O up it in this 999 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,759 Speaker 1: Friday morning, coming up at ninth I'm sorry, nine thirty, 1000 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 1: how about ten thirty six?

They split up apparently. I think what happened 1008 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 1: was that she just got too old for his tastes. 1009 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: We'll find out with Austin. That and more coming up 1010 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 1: in minutes. Another bizarre story. Minnesota, by the way, I 1011 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,680 Speaker 1: think it's become the new Florida, or is Minnesota? That 1012 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 1: is Minnesota just the liberal version of floor. I don't know, 1013 00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 1: I don't, but anyway, guy's name is Mark Anderson. He 1014 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 1: is charged with impersonating an FBI agent. Shows up at 1015 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,920 Speaker 1: a federal prison in New York City to try and 1016 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,359 Speaker 1: get Luigi Mangioni, the United Healthcare CEO murderer, off the hook. 1017 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:20,239 Speaker 1: He's show prison workers as he says, I'm FBI after's credentials. 1018 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,839 Speaker 1: He pulls out a Minnesota driver's license and has all 1019 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 1: this paperwork that's quote unquote signed by judge, but just 1020 00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 1: stuff he printed off the internet. And anyway, like, uh okay, 1021 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:35,840 Speaker 1: this guy's not FBI. In his backpack, here's how he 1022 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 1: is going to spring Luigia and Luigi Mangoni out of prison. 1023 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 1: He had on him a barbecue fork and a pizza cutter. 1024 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:54,719 Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure exactly. The barbecue fork maybe would 1025 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 1: scare I used as a weapon and hurt someone, kill 1026 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,719 Speaker 1: someone for sure, barbecue fork. But the pizza what are 1027 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:02,800 Speaker 1: you gonna do? You're gonna cut through the bars with 1028 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,960 Speaker 1: the pizza wheel? I don't. I don't understand. Guy worked 1029 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: in a pizza place and took a barbecue fork in 1030 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 1: a pizza cutting wheel and thought he was somehow going 1031 00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:14,359 Speaker 1: to free Luigiman Jean. The whole love for Luigiman Jean. 1032 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,960 Speaker 1: I mean he murdered someone. He shot them in cold blood, 1033 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 1: shot him in the back, and just to show you 1034 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,360 Speaker 1: and this puts in context, I guess maybe the you know, 1035 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 1: the Don Lemon protests everything else. It's like just how 1036 00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:29,839 Speaker 1: unhinged everybody is these days that this guy goes out 1037 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,320 Speaker 1: and murders someone. And granted, you know, we have a 1038 00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:35,319 Speaker 1: local story here. The reason God's a guy, a young 1039 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 1: man with brain cancer who is insurance companies is gonna 1040 00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,399 Speaker 1: cover him, and I miked Wine got involved, We want 1041 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,439 Speaker 1: to do that next week sometime. Governor de to Wine 1042 00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:44,640 Speaker 1: got involved. All of a suddenly the insurance company backs down. 1043 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 1: And that happens probably more than you think once we start, 1044 00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, the media or in case, the governor calls 1045 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:51,920 Speaker 1: and like, oh yeah, we're just getting around the overtire. 1046 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:53,919 Speaker 1: You were one hundred percent with you, Gov. Yeah, sure 1047 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,880 Speaker 1: you were. You're trying to secure everybody. I get the 1048 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,719 Speaker 1: outrage Cheurge Health Companies and you know, maybe CEO is 1049 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 1: the villain. You know, Villa find in the bad guy here, 1050 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,759 Speaker 1: but you know, murdering someone shooting them to death in 1051 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,279 Speaker 1: the street and cold blood. The fact that this guy 1052 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,279 Speaker 1: is still he's held up like some sort of anti hero, 1053 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 1: I suppose the new Robin hood. And of course you 1054 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 1: know the other element of that too. He's a good 1055 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,800 Speaker 1: looking young man and that always attracts some sort of 1056 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 1: element like we should have more sympathy for someone who's better. 1057 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,759 Speaker 1: Look who's you know, who's good looking, Like I don't 1058 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 1: know how you do that. You hate someone who's good looking, 1059 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,719 Speaker 1: who's privileged, and yet this guy's somehow fighting for the 1060 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,960 Speaker 1: little guy, which he's really not. You hold him up 1061 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,800 Speaker 1: on some sort of pedestal. It's weird, but yeah, I 1062 00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,360 Speaker 1: don't know. I've never tried to break someone out of 1063 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:37,960 Speaker 1: prison before, but pizza, pizza cutter and barbecue fork would 1064 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 1: not be And if I was having a i don't know, 1065 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 1: some sort of some sort of picnic in a cell perhaps, 1066 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:44,760 Speaker 1: but not to break them out of prison with anyway. 1067 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,839 Speaker 1: Got a news update coming up in just minutes.

And having given to think 1129 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:06,279 Speaker 12: about that, you know, is it's difficult to reflectching all 1130 00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,239 Speaker 12: the people who are excited and fired up and right all. 1131 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:10,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, I get it. 1132 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,280 Speaker 12: You know just how much it means to so many people, 1133 00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,120 Speaker 12: and how the discourse has changed over the last few years. 1134 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,399 Speaker 12: And I think part of the frustration with so many 1135 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,319 Speaker 12: Bengals fans is because everybody wants to feel that way. 1136 00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:25,920 Speaker 12: And also, you know, I've been kind of split on 1137 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,200 Speaker 12: who to root for in Super Bowl sixty And as 1138 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,520 Speaker 12: I'm watching this video, I'm thinking, you know, Patriots fans, 1139 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,040 Speaker 12: this is kind of their expectation over the last twenty years. Correct, 1140 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,400 Speaker 12: this would mean a lot more to Seattle than it 1141 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,160 Speaker 12: would to New England. So for that reason, I'm starting 1142 00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,239 Speaker 12: to lean back towards Seattle, even though I think I 1143 00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:45,320 Speaker 12: like the people on New England. I want the you know, 1144 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:49,200 Speaker 12: Mike Rabel typing Trayveon Henderson and Ohio state guys to win, 1145 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:50,520 Speaker 12: but I don't know. 1146 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:52,960 Speaker 1: And it was like a quarter of a second. A 1147 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:56,359 Speaker 1: quarter of a second is all he'd borrow needed to yeah, 1148 00:54:56,440 --> 00:55:00,920 Speaker 1: throw that. It's also like I've lived in believe me, 1149 00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,080 Speaker 1: because you know, as a Bills fan, wide right, Yeah, 1150 00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:05,320 Speaker 1: this was wide right. And it wasn't even that. It 1151 00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,120 Speaker 1: was just like, yo, yeah, Berl got sacked. 1152 00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:08,320 Speaker 2: You know. 1153 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 1: I also saw the video yesterday. 1154 00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:13,360 Speaker 12: It was the rally that the Bills had after they 1155 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 12: lost that Super Bowl, right, and Scott Norwood comes up 1156 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 12: to the podium and instead of a chorus of booze, 1157 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,960 Speaker 12: the Buffalo fans cheered for him and uplifted him. And 1158 00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,080 Speaker 12: you think of that, what was that thirty forty years ago, 1159 00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,800 Speaker 12: and that that would never happen today now because I 1160 00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,840 Speaker 12: think sports batting and all that something to do with it. 1161 00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:37,680 Speaker 12: That's part of it. 1162 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:42,239 Speaker 1: People just in general are meaner. Like if that were 1163 00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:44,560 Speaker 1: to happen today, if Evan McPherson would have missed a 1164 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:48,560 Speaker 1: kick in the Super Bowl and they come out, you know, 1165 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 1: and have this rally like they did, and they bring 1166 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:55,520 Speaker 1: Evan McPherson up there, he would be booed. I'm going 1167 00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:57,440 Speaker 1: to disagree with you. I don't think so. I think 1168 00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 1: that everybody. I think because we're similar communities in that 1169 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 1: it's like, hey, you know the guy guy, he was there, 1170 00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:06,840 Speaker 1: he made some solid kicks. The other thing is you 1171 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:09,200 Speaker 1: got it. You know, if Jake Elliot missus a field 1172 00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,799 Speaker 1: goal in Philadelphia, he'd be shot. Yeah. Yeah, different story 1173 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:13,319 Speaker 1: in talking. But I think it's Cincinnata, Buffalo. I think 1174 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 1: we're cities at like might that might be you couldn't 1175 00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:16,840 Speaker 1: have got that. You can add Super Bowl without that 1176 00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,200 Speaker 1: guy's like, and he just missed it at a critical time. 1177 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,800 Speaker 1: But he's been money for us all season, get it. 1178 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 1: I think it's a different thing. 1179 00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 12: Anyways, I just wish it was four years ago, simpler times, simpler, 1180 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:28,160 Speaker 12: back in the old days. 1181 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 1: What was that four years ago? 1182 00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 12: It's like from the office where h Andy says, I 1183 00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:36,880 Speaker 12: wish there was a way to know you're in the 1184 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:38,839 Speaker 12: good old days before you've actually left them. 1185 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:46,480 Speaker 1: That's really true. Yeah, yeah, talking about I I saw this, 1186 00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:48,879 Speaker 1: uh and I just because yeah, you know yesterday's show. 1187 00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:50,560 Speaker 1: I'll leave it Bengals real quick. 1188 00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 2: Here. 1189 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,640 Speaker 1: I had council Member Mark jeffries On on favor day 1190 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:55,400 Speaker 1: of this stuff too, and he was talking about he 1191 00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,720 Speaker 1: is he he was calling out the Bengals hard yesterday. 1192 00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 1: Because so here in Cincinnati we've got youth football teams, 1193 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 1: urban youthful play. The problem is this is crime is 1194 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,080 Speaker 1: a big deal obviously, So the youth football teams unli 1195 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:08,080 Speaker 1: like we have in the suburbs, Unlike Sydney where you 1196 00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,399 Speaker 1: grew up. Did you even play yes football? Okay, okay, 1197 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,880 Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about security because people shooting 1198 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,120 Speaker 1: each other, non people betting on games and getting in 1199 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,840 Speaker 1: fights and shooting each other. Uh So the youth football 1200 00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:22,400 Speaker 1: teams have to raise money and the cost for them 1201 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,480 Speaker 1: to rent a field from CPS because the security and 1202 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 1: everything else is just you can't do it. So Jefferson 1203 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,360 Speaker 1: Wilder's been going, hey, listen, maybe like the Reds do 1204 00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:33,680 Speaker 1: the community fund building fields. Maybe like FC with youth soccer, 1205 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:35,960 Speaker 1: Maybe the Bengals, we get the Bengals ball. He has 1206 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,640 Speaker 1: been negotiating with them for a year and a half 1207 00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,720 Speaker 1: to get them to do like a split the pot 1208 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 1: or something and give the proceeds. It doesn't cause them 1209 00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:46,880 Speaker 1: anything and it's good will. He pointed out in his 1210 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:51,120 Speaker 1: feet on X that the Dallas Cowboys give almost nine 1211 00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,919 Speaker 1: million dollars to the community. Okay, that's Dallas, Dallas money. 1212 00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:58,440 Speaker 1: Philly's like eight million, Green Bay a million and a half, 1213 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,960 Speaker 1: Buffalo one point one million, Seattle six hundred thousand, Cincinnadi 1214 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,040 Speaker 1: Bengals last year, you know how much money they gave? 1215 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:08,320 Speaker 1: How much? Thirty thousand dollars thirty thousand. And that was 1216 00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,640 Speaker 1: humane because specifically for or just for the it said 1217 00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 1: donated to the community. Okay that they were Bengals gave 1218 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:20,840 Speaker 1: thirty thousand dollars in zero the previous year. Now, I 1219 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 1: will say in defense of the team that I know 1220 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:25,400 Speaker 1: that they do a lot of charitable works and they 1221 00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,600 Speaker 1: don't want the publicity. They do it without wanting recognition, 1222 00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:31,280 Speaker 1: which is extremely noble. However, when you're endeared with the 1223 00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:34,320 Speaker 1: city with a public private partnership and you get taxpayers 1224 00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 1: to pay for seventy five percent of your stadium, you 1225 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:38,920 Speaker 1: need to do something to make it look like you 1226 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:40,640 Speaker 1: give a damn. And I will say this, I will 1227 00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:42,520 Speaker 1: go on record as saying two things. Bengals are great 1228 00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,720 Speaker 1: at litigation. They're they're they are the New England Patriots 1229 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,320 Speaker 1: of litigation, the New York Yankees. This is the big 1230 00:58:48,400 --> 00:58:52,120 Speaker 1: red machine of litigation. But you also have to do 1231 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,040 Speaker 1: something that the community can see and be tangible. I mean, 1232 00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,480 Speaker 1: anonymous acts of kindness are wonderful, they are, but you 1233 00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 1: also have to do something the like you give a damn. 1234 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,600 Speaker 1: And if you open up the dictionary and literally look 1235 00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:07,120 Speaker 1: for the definition of zero bleeps, given Mike Brown's picture 1236 00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:08,840 Speaker 1: is there because they just don't care. 1237 00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:09,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1238 00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,320 Speaker 12: So I heard about this yesterday and I went through 1239 00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:15,080 Speaker 12: my email inbox all the stuff that I get from 1240 00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:19,480 Speaker 12: Bengals Communications, okay, and I found that they last year 1241 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:23,080 Speaker 12: donated and paid for a bunch of youth football equipment 1242 00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:25,480 Speaker 12: for a team in the West End the others, and 1243 00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,919 Speaker 12: they build a ramp for a veteran nice they put 1244 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:32,160 Speaker 12: food and lockers and all the month of October for 1245 00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:34,160 Speaker 12: young kids who are struggling with food. 1246 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:36,160 Speaker 3: They do do stuff. 1247 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:37,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think don't do anything. 1248 00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,640 Speaker 12: I think you're right that when it comes to specifically 1249 00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:47,200 Speaker 12: investing in physical areas for kids to play football, they 1250 00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:48,000 Speaker 12: could be better at. 1251 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1252 00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:48,720 Speaker 3: I know. 1253 00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:50,800 Speaker 12: There was a thing that they did with the NFL 1254 00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 12: years ago called the Hometown Huddle, where they worked together 1255 00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,320 Speaker 12: to build like local parks. I used to live right 1256 00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 12: next to one, and there was this big plaque with 1257 00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 12: the Bengals logo in the NFL logo and and all 1258 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:04,080 Speaker 12: of it. And it does feel like a very simple 1259 01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,640 Speaker 12: solution would be, Hey, here's a split the pot. Here's 1260 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,240 Speaker 12: a fifty to fifty whatever you want to call it. 1261 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:13,200 Speaker 12: Proceeds go to the Cincinnati Youth Football whatever, and we're 1262 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:16,040 Speaker 12: gonna build a field here. We're gonna build a field there. 1263 01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:16,840 Speaker 12: Whatever it might be. 1264 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:19,600 Speaker 7: It's a layup. 1265 01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:22,160 Speaker 1: I don't know what they cost you any money, because 1266 01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:23,600 Speaker 1: you do like a split the pot the community pace 1267 01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,080 Speaker 1: where we're already paying for the stadium. 1268 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:28,600 Speaker 12: But all you're paying for basically are the physical tickets 1269 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:30,960 Speaker 12: or the digital space to be able to do it, 1270 01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,840 Speaker 12: and the ads and the signage and all that stuff 1271 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:35,720 Speaker 12: that's incredibly cheap. 1272 01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:37,040 Speaker 1: You need to promote your cost. They already to go 1273 01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 1: with the team. They advertise they spend money. Come to 1274 01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,600 Speaker 1: Bengal season tickets. Okay, it's the same thing, and it's 1275 01:00:42,720 --> 01:00:45,200 Speaker 1: it's it's And the question is, well, why why do 1276 01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:46,960 Speaker 1: the Bengals. Why do the Bengals get such a hard 1277 01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:48,680 Speaker 1: time and the Reds get a pass. It's because the 1278 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:49,520 Speaker 1: Reds do that stuff. 1279 01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:49,880 Speaker 3: Correct. 1280 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,880 Speaker 12: The Reds presence in the community is incredible, huge. Uh 1281 01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,600 Speaker 12: even there, I'm blanking on the name of it, but 1282 01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:02,920 Speaker 12: they're they It's the Youth Academy, the Register Regie, unbelievable, 1283 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:04,600 Speaker 12: the Academy.

And it makes the 1288 01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 1: Bengals look worse in comparison, because yeah, that's m MLB 1289 01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:20,320 Speaker 1: Money's big FC is doing this and MLS money is nothing. 1290 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:22,400 Speaker 1: NFL money is ridiculous. 1291 01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:22,680 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1292 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,720 Speaker 12: I mean I also used to live right next to 1293 01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:28,040 Speaker 12: one of those what they caught the mini pitches that 1294 01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,560 Speaker 12: f C Cincinnati would build, and there would be kids 1295 01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 12: out there playing all the time, and it was just 1296 01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,360 Speaker 12: somewhere else for kids to go.

You 1316 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,000 Speaker 1: know they've paid for some football fields in the past, Yes, 1317 01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,440 Speaker 1: like two hundred and fifty thousand dollars grants and stuff 1318 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,080 Speaker 1: for like high schools and stuff like that. You know, 1319 01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,280 Speaker 1: they make donations to like the Paul Brown Coach of 1320 01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,640 Speaker 1: the Year and stuff like that. It's just there are 1321 01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,560 Speaker 1: easy pr points to be scored that they don't score. Yeah, 1322 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,720 Speaker 1: and act like you care, like put your arms again. 1323 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:49,240 Speaker 1: Back to that whole thing where we would in Boo 1324 01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:51,000 Speaker 1: McPherson if he lost the food, but we would lift 1325 01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:53,560 Speaker 1: them up. If if, even if you were to build 1326 01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:56,040 Speaker 1: a facility, it can be very simple. It can be 1327 01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,000 Speaker 1: a turf field. There can be a track around it, 1328 01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,360 Speaker 1: there can be some small stands, and every year Jamar 1329 01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:05,000 Speaker 1: Chase hosts a camp there, or every year you know, 1330 01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,760 Speaker 1: any player, pick a player hosts the camp there, or 1331 01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,480 Speaker 1: Sam Hubber will come back and do an event there 1332 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,240 Speaker 1: or whatever. It's easy and then know in the meantime 1333 01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,959 Speaker 1: on Saturday and Sunday mornings. You've got youth football games 1334 01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:17,360 Speaker 1: happening here. Yeah, no doubt about it. And each player, 1335 01:03:17,400 --> 01:03:19,439 Speaker 1: does you know this charitable thing? I mean Joe Burrow 1336 01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,959 Speaker 1: Foundation and to Marvel Lusan, it shouldn't been the face 1337 01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:24,560 Speaker 1: of charity for sin today football. Those are individuals. Yeah, 1338 01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:26,760 Speaker 1: the team should be leading that charge. And back to 1339 01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:28,880 Speaker 1: my point, if you know McPherson, we'd lift him up 1340 01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,360 Speaker 1: if he missed a game winning kick in the Super Bowl. 1341 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:35,160 Speaker 1: It goes to show you just talk community, if you've 1342 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:36,960 Speaker 1: got to reflect back to the community and put your 1343 01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 1: arms around and if you want to be other than 1344 01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:40,480 Speaker 1: you just look at as a business and then pretend 1345 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,680 Speaker 1: it's not so agreed. I know I had enough hammer 1346 01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,560 Speaker 1: in the Bengals. If you missed that with Mark Jefferys yesterday, 1347 01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,360 Speaker 1: it's on the podcast from yesterday's show via the iHeart Radio. 1348 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:48,720 Speaker 1: But what do you make a Belichick not get in 1349 01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame? So I'm not surprised. The reason 1350 01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,560 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised is I know that Bill Belichick is 1351 01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,760 Speaker 1: not liked. I know that he had a cheating scandal 1352 01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:06,800 Speaker 1: multiple that people don't appreciate, and I know that the 1353 01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:10,200 Speaker 1: voting system the way it's currently constructed is going to 1354 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:13,720 Speaker 1: hurt him, and it all did. And you know, there 1355 01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:16,160 Speaker 1: is no world in which Ken Anderson should be going 1356 01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:19,640 Speaker 1: up against Bill Belichick for the same vote. It just 1357 01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,680 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. And they've moved the rules around, and 1358 01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:24,840 Speaker 1: they've changed the rules and panel members and voters here 1359 01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:26,919 Speaker 1: and voters. It just doesn't make sense. 1360 01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,840 Speaker 12: And so for all those reasons, and so far, the 1361 01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,840 Speaker 12: ten or eleven people that have voted four others and 1362 01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:35,840 Speaker 12: not necessarily against Bill Belichick have said, hey, we did 1363 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:39,560 Speaker 12: this because Elsie Greenwood, Roger Craig, Ken Anderson, this is 1364 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:41,800 Speaker 12: their last chance, and we think they should be in. 1365 01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,680 Speaker 12: And we think Bill Belichick's going to get in, whether 1366 01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:46,920 Speaker 12: it's this year or next year. We're putting our votes 1367 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,800 Speaker 12: to these guys. And so when you combine that he 1368 01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:53,040 Speaker 12: was just in general not liked and he did have 1369 01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:57,200 Speaker 12: multiple cheating scandals, and these other guys are on their 1370 01:04:57,320 --> 01:05:00,680 Speaker 12: last shot, you find ten or eleven guys who don't 1371 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:02,960 Speaker 12: vote for him, and so he doesn't make the Pro 1372 01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,480 Speaker 12: Football Hall of Fame. The issue is not with Belichick 1373 01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,600 Speaker 12: himself or his resume, or even if people don't like him. 1374 01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 12: The issue is the vote. The voting system just wasn't tenable, 1375 01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,040 Speaker 12: and it's led to him getting embarrassed. 1376 01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:16,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1377 01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:18,320 Speaker 1: I looked at that and said, well, and I think 1378 01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,160 Speaker 1: he's actually kind of turned into a martyr. Since when 1379 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,240 Speaker 1: were the baseball writers responsible for, you know, getting Bill Belichick? 1380 01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:25,400 Speaker 1: And it feels like that baseball does it too. And 1381 01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:26,960 Speaker 1: you know, back to your point, I get it, there's 1382 01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,000 Speaker 1: other guys eligible, and like, he probably get in the 1383 01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:33,720 Speaker 1: next ballot, but you know, again, you don't change the times. 1384 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:35,320 Speaker 1: It's like, there have been plenty of people who have 1385 01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:37,480 Speaker 1: not gotten the Hall of Fame or had opportunity because 1386 01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:39,880 Speaker 1: there's been better players, are better individuals out there who 1387 01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,320 Speaker 1: have qualified. I mean, but I think the point stands. 1388 01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:44,800 Speaker 1: It's like, then does that mean Tom Brady doesn't get in? 1389 01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:47,120 Speaker 1: And yeah, okay, there's scandals and stuff, but what did 1390 01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:47,600 Speaker 1: the league do? 1391 01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:48,040 Speaker 3: Did they? 1392 01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:50,880 Speaker 1: I think they didn't Pete Rosehen for this, right, I mean, 1393 01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,400 Speaker 1: they investigated. There are fines and penalties and all that stuff. 1394 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:57,120 Speaker 1: And it's also it's a popularity concert, but it's not. 1395 01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,400 Speaker 1: It's it's what you do. It's your body of work. 1396 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:01,360 Speaker 1: He may not be liked at all, but hell, ty 1397 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,400 Speaker 1: Cobb was a real jerk and he's an Hall of Fame. Yeah, 1398 01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:05,800 Speaker 1: It's the question should be is he a fall Hall 1399 01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:06,120 Speaker 1: of Famer? 1400 01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:06,600 Speaker 3: Yes or no? 1401 01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,439 Speaker 1: And the answer is yes. But unfortunately it's yeah. 1402 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 12: But these guys need to get into and so this 1403 01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:14,720 Speaker 12: is their last shots where I'm going to vote for them. 1404 01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:17,720 Speaker 12: The other thing with Belichick too, that whether or not 1405 01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 12: it played a role, and from all the discourse, it 1406 01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:24,400 Speaker 12: seems like it hasn't. He has stunk without Tom Brady 1407 01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:28,600 Speaker 12: and he wasn't good prior to tom Brady, and Tom 1408 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:30,680 Speaker 12: Brady went to Tampa and won a Super Bowl, and 1409 01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,280 Speaker 12: Robert Kraft and the Patriots they got to a super 1410 01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,800 Speaker 12: Bowl before Belichick. Right now they've gotten to a super 1411 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,680 Speaker 12: Bowl after Belichick's So all of that just kind of, 1412 01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:40,920 Speaker 12: you know, peel back a couple of other layers, and 1413 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:42,720 Speaker 12: then you've got all the nonsense that he's going on, 1414 01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:46,040 Speaker 12: you know in North Carolina right now. That shouldn't play 1415 01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:49,720 Speaker 12: a role, but it does. It's it's it. I don't 1416 01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:54,280 Speaker 12: like it because it's unnecessary criticism towards the Hall of 1417 01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:58,080 Speaker 12: Fame and a glaring omission, but I'm not surprised. 1418 01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:01,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, And but NFL is like they never make mistakes. 1419 01:07:02,440 --> 01:07:05,920 Speaker 1: This isn't This isn't the NFL. I know, look, I 1420 01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:09,439 Speaker 1: told I get that distinction. Yeah, tough week for Bill Baltic, 1421 01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:11,240 Speaker 1: no Hall of Fame and breaks up with his uh, 1422 01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:13,560 Speaker 1: his girlfriend. They broke up.

I don't know they've saying 1426 01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:20,920 Speaker 1: it's a fake account. Okay, Well I knew Willie had 1427 01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:24,479 Speaker 1: been in her DMS, so he broke it off because 1428 01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:28,960 Speaker 1: she's got too old for him.

Well, 1469 01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 1: it led him to an unpaid suspension. The question is 1470 01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:29,240 Speaker 1: is he a whistle blower and is he protected? And 1471 01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:31,280 Speaker 1: what are your rights if you run into something like this? 1472 01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:33,880 Speaker 1: George Rule is here. He is the first and foremost 1473 01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,960 Speaker 1: the employment law attorney in Cincinnati with freaking Myers and rule. George, 1474 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:39,439 Speaker 1: welcome back. How are you? How's life son? 1475 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:41,960 Speaker 6: Hey funny, thanks for having me on. 1476 01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,120 Speaker 1: I'm well, yeah, I don't think you guys are involved. 1477 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:46,960 Speaker 1: Maybe you guys are involved with this case, I don't know, 1478 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,760 Speaker 1: But does this fall into the guys of whistleblower complaints. 1479 01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:52,920 Speaker 1: And you know, he puts it up on social media 1480 01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,120 Speaker 1: about safety conditions? Is that qualified? The safety issues? Complying 1481 01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:59,719 Speaker 1: is whistleblower activity? And keep in mind this is federal 1482 01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:01,200 Speaker 1: law and he works for a federal agency. 1483 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:03,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh. 1484 01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:09,840 Speaker 5: Generally speaking, Uh, whistle blowing activity usually involves an employee 1485 01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:18,520 Speaker 5: disclosing information that they reasonably believe is evidence of illegal, unethical, 1486 01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:24,479 Speaker 5: or unsafe activity. Uh. And and so obviously his complaints 1487 01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:29,560 Speaker 5: here uh do have some relationship to unsafe activities. 1488 01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:30,360 Speaker 2: Uh. 1489 01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,360 Speaker 6: You know, I think there is a question in terms of. 1490 01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:37,479 Speaker 5: The manner in which he disclosed, you know, generally speaking, 1491 01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:43,080 Speaker 5: a complaint to your employer, uh, or an. 1492 01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,320 Speaker 6: Agency such as OSHA. OSHA is a. 1493 01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:53,160 Speaker 5: Federal agency that enforces workplace safety laws, so certainly could 1494 01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:58,959 Speaker 5: be protected activity. Also, Uh, it might be protected concerted 1495 01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:03,240 Speaker 5: activity under the National Labor Relations Act because he is 1496 01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:09,799 Speaker 5: talking about his terms and conditions of employment, So there 1497 01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:11,360 Speaker 5: might be some additional protection there. 1498 01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:11,599 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1499 01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:13,760 Speaker 1: As a postal work he's protected by union. Although he 1500 01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,679 Speaker 1: has been suspended without play they called an emergency placement 1501 01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:20,519 Speaker 1: without pay pending an internal investigation, and of course the 1502 01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,080 Speaker 1: Postal services, well, no employee safety is our top priority. 1503 01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:25,559 Speaker 1: That's hard to argue though, if you've got your sixty 1504 01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:28,760 Speaker 1: year old postal workers who normally sit in a truck 1505 01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:32,200 Speaker 1: and deliver mail out with their hands and I don't know, 1506 01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:36,439 Speaker 1: using dust pans and probably coffee can lids to drag 1507 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,120 Speaker 1: and clear snow out from around your vehicle. And keep 1508 01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,240 Speaker 1: in mind the snow was plowed in a fashion that 1509 01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:43,160 Speaker 1: all the snow from the lot is now pushed up 1510 01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:45,479 Speaker 1: against where the vehicles are, so it's several feet of 1511 01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:46,400 Speaker 1: snow he got to dig out. 1512 01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:52,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, that certainly, and I believe he was sixty years old. 1513 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:53,280 Speaker 2: Not really an. 1514 01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:59,360 Speaker 6: Age thing, but you know, physical work certainly could be 1515 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:01,040 Speaker 6: an employee safety issues. 1516 01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:04,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, not sure if that covers. Are there specific whistleblower 1517 01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,120 Speaker 1: protections that apply to USPS employees. I know this is 1518 01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:08,720 Speaker 1: kind of getting granular here, and you may not know 1519 01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:11,360 Speaker 1: the answer to that, but if you're a federal employee 1520 01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:13,040 Speaker 1: with a union, are you covered in there is or 1521 01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:13,559 Speaker 1: something else? 1522 01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:15,360 Speaker 6: Well? 1523 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:22,000 Speaker 5: Interestingly, OSHA or the Postal Service is one of the 1524 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:26,080 Speaker 5: few federal agencies that's covered by OSHA as far as 1525 01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:31,679 Speaker 5: workplace safety. Their most federal employees are covered under something 1526 01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:36,920 Speaker 5: called the whistle Blower Protection Act, so you know, there 1527 01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:40,320 Speaker 5: there are a ton of different whistle blower laws. OSHA 1528 01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:46,000 Speaker 5: actually has a whistle blower protection program that covers twenty 1529 01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:51,400 Speaker 5: different statutes. So you know, in order to have protection 1530 01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:55,840 Speaker 5: as an employee, what you are complaining about has to 1531 01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:59,800 Speaker 5: be legally protected activity, and often you need an underlying 1532 01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:04,160 Speaker 5: statute to provide that protection. So you know, it is 1533 01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:07,720 Speaker 5: kind of a patchwork of laws and it's confusing. So 1534 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,120 Speaker 5: you know, it's it's something where you probably need some 1535 01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:14,040 Speaker 5: legal advice to know whether you're protected. 1536 01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:17,439 Speaker 1: What your lawyers at George Rul did, do you see 1537 01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:21,520 Speaker 1: this as undue retaliation for protected activity? 1538 01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:28,080 Speaker 5: It certainly, it certainly could be. You know, he got 1539 01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:32,640 Speaker 5: he got suspended off of work. It's interesting, as I 1540 01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:36,599 Speaker 5: understand it from from looking at some of the articles 1541 01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,720 Speaker 5: about it. The Postal Service asked him to come back 1542 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:44,120 Speaker 5: several hours after he was suspended, which you know, sort. 1543 01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:47,040 Speaker 6: Of suggests they knew it was potentially. 1544 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:50,040 Speaker 5: A problem to put him, you know, put him off work. 1545 01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:54,200 Speaker 5: Uh So I certainly think, uh, this is one where 1546 01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:58,439 Speaker 5: he does have some legal protection. It didn't seem to 1547 01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:01,160 Speaker 5: be just an individual gright. You know, he was he 1548 01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:04,640 Speaker 5: was when he made his post. As I understand it, 1549 01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:06,519 Speaker 5: he said, you know, I know I'm not the only 1550 01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:10,519 Speaker 5: one who has this concern, So you know, generally it 1551 01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:13,919 Speaker 5: does seem like he was not only speaking for himself 1552 01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:17,800 Speaker 5: but his coworkers and the working conditions. So you know, 1553 01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,640 Speaker 5: if it's not if it's not whistle blowing, uh, it 1554 01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:23,360 Speaker 5: certainly might be uh conservative protected actip. 1555 01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:25,439 Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting because I know Fox nineteen broke the 1556 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:28,040 Speaker 1: story and a couple of the media outlets had obviously 1557 01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:30,200 Speaker 1: we're talking about this morning with George Rule, employment law 1558 01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:33,639 Speaker 1: attorney from freaking Myerson Rule here in Cincinnati, and uh, 1559 01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:35,720 Speaker 1: as soon as that happens, it's like, well, you know, 1560 01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:38,040 Speaker 1: well why don't you come back to work? I mean, 1561 01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:40,479 Speaker 1: it's interesting how that plays out. Does that indicate though, 1562 01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:43,360 Speaker 1: from a legal perspective, that maybe they got this wrong 1563 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,800 Speaker 1: at first blush, that they're backing off so quickly. 1564 01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:49,360 Speaker 2: Well, it certainly appears like that. 1565 01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:54,360 Speaker 5: Now obviously bringing him back after a few hours, that 1566 01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:58,240 Speaker 5: would that would limit the adverse impact of a of 1567 01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:02,360 Speaker 5: a suspension, Uh, you know, only only losing uh you know, 1568 01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:06,040 Speaker 5: maybe two three hours hours of pay. But you know, 1569 01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:10,840 Speaker 5: I certainly think most employees who speak out. Uh, you know, 1570 01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,240 Speaker 5: do have a concern, Hey if I put a target 1571 01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:18,439 Speaker 5: on my back by you know, disclosing thiss. So you know, 1572 01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:21,400 Speaker 5: it's not only the immediate suspension, but kind of how 1573 01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:23,280 Speaker 5: he's treated in the future. 1574 01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:25,719 Speaker 7: So yeah, that's see. 1575 01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,720 Speaker 1: Uh so this guy is postal worker, Jason Thompson is 1576 01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:32,640 Speaker 1: told to take down the post or there's gonna be repercussions. 1577 01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:35,160 Speaker 1: He didn't, and the repercussions where we suspend you without pay. 1578 01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:41,040 Speaker 1: Talk about a wonky constitutional First Amendment called prior restraint? 1579 01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:42,720 Speaker 1: Was prior restrainted play here? 1580 01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:46,920 Speaker 6: You know, I don't know that One's funny. 1581 01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:50,560 Speaker 1: That's a good question, right, I was like, well, I 1582 01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:53,599 Speaker 1: mean it's it's a constential rite in many maning says, 1583 01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:56,120 Speaker 1: we prevent you from doing something we don't like in 1584 01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,479 Speaker 1: the first place. And so the legal standard about his 1585 01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:02,400 Speaker 1: speech was they said it was a matter of public concern, 1586 01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,200 Speaker 1: the public somehawser I don't know if I buy the 1587 01:16:04,520 --> 01:16:06,160 Speaker 1: this is an issue of public intern this is a 1588 01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:07,160 Speaker 1: workplace safety issue. 1589 01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:12,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean whether or not it's protected on the 1590 01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:12,799 Speaker 5: First Amendment. 1591 01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:14,200 Speaker 2: Uh, you know, that's. 1592 01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:19,560 Speaker 5: You know, that's maybe a complicated legal question. You know, 1593 01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:22,720 Speaker 5: is he is he talking as a public employee or 1594 01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:24,040 Speaker 5: a private citizen. 1595 01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,440 Speaker 6: You know, I certainly think there's an angle. 1596 01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:30,200 Speaker 5: That would be a matter of public concern. Uh, you 1597 01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:34,280 Speaker 5: know if certainly during a level two SNOW emergency. I 1598 01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:36,880 Speaker 5: think there's a question of whether or not, you know, 1599 01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:39,439 Speaker 5: postal workers need to be on on the road. 1600 01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:40,200 Speaker 6: Uh. 1601 01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:48,519 Speaker 5: It's interesting the the Postal Services statement in response kind 1602 01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,920 Speaker 5: of touched on that in terms of saying, hey, you know, 1603 01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:58,479 Speaker 5: people need their medications. Uh, you know government correspondence. So 1604 01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:02,519 Speaker 5: you know, there's an argument from the employer there. You 1605 01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:05,439 Speaker 5: know that there's a there's a need for for the 1606 01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,640 Speaker 5: postal workers to be on the on the road and 1607 01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:09,160 Speaker 5: right delivering our right. 1608 01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:11,639 Speaker 1: But at the same time they said that, I guess 1609 01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:13,559 Speaker 1: the trucks that were bringing the mail in where there 1610 01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:16,200 Speaker 1: were no packages to deliver that day, So why we 1611 01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,639 Speaker 1: digging our trucks out if we can't move. It's like, okay, 1612 01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:20,320 Speaker 1: well we're going to show up and make you dig 1613 01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,920 Speaker 1: our trucks out because maybe that'll save money. I don't 1614 01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:26,160 Speaker 1: know about that. On the other side of this charge rule, 1615 01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:28,479 Speaker 1: talk about the burden of proof that the Postal Service 1616 01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,120 Speaker 1: had had they suspend him and what evens they have 1617 01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:33,720 Speaker 1: that that backs their claim up. We've talked about this 1618 01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:36,400 Speaker 1: case Jason Thompson and has a pretty good claim here. 1619 01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:38,840 Speaker 1: This is a whistleblower type of issue. But how does 1620 01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,479 Speaker 1: the United States Postal Service affirmatively defend themselves? 1621 01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:46,200 Speaker 5: Well, I think you know, again, they would look at hey, 1622 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:51,840 Speaker 5: is this just an individual employee ripe, you know, looking 1623 01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:56,920 Speaker 5: at the manner in terms of you know, how he communicated. 1624 01:17:56,640 --> 01:18:01,360 Speaker 6: This, did he talked the management to press? Is concern. 1625 01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:07,280 Speaker 5: Initially at the outset. You know, I think the Postal 1626 01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:10,120 Speaker 5: Service would say, hey, look, this is a you know, 1627 01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:15,080 Speaker 5: a couple hours suspension, so is it is it really 1628 01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:21,000 Speaker 5: an adverse employment action? So you know, there would be 1629 01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:26,240 Speaker 5: some legal defenses there, but but certainly I'm not sure 1630 01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:30,680 Speaker 5: how the Postal Service could argue that the suspension had 1631 01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:33,639 Speaker 5: anything to do other than than the post itself. 1632 01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:34,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1633 01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:37,160 Speaker 5: Uh, and you know the content and the post being 1634 01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:42,479 Speaker 5: about potentially unsafe working conditions. So that seems to be 1635 01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:43,680 Speaker 5: a tough argument. 1636 01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:47,439 Speaker 1: Right, And it also feels like both sides, at least 1637 01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,160 Speaker 1: the post Service wants us to go away because they 1638 01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:51,360 Speaker 1: brought brought them back in hours later, and it's like, well, 1639 01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:53,439 Speaker 1: it was maybe it was a misstep on our part here, 1640 01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:55,200 Speaker 1: We're going to have to clarify our policies and like, 1641 01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:57,479 Speaker 1: but what does the takeaway for someone listening to going, well, 1642 01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm not a postal worker. I don't have to dig 1643 01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:01,080 Speaker 1: trucks out or maybe I do, but I'm not in 1644 01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:04,800 Speaker 1: a union. When you should you think twice and what what? 1645 01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:07,479 Speaker 1: And I guess what are the boundaries you're posting stuff 1646 01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:09,679 Speaker 1: on social We see people fired all the time, right, George, 1647 01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:12,720 Speaker 1: because they do something on social or say say and 1648 01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:14,080 Speaker 1: they want to be getting fired because it makes their 1649 01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:16,040 Speaker 1: company look bad, which is perfectly when they're right to 1650 01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:17,519 Speaker 1: do so. But what are the limits of that? 1651 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:19,400 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1652 01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:25,880 Speaker 5: So certainly if you are publicly disparaging your employer, if 1653 01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:31,640 Speaker 5: you're you know, posting your individual rights online, that can 1654 01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,120 Speaker 5: be ground. 1655 01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:34,120 Speaker 2: To get you discharged. 1656 01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:34,800 Speaker 9: Uh. 1657 01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:38,680 Speaker 5: You know what you are speaking out about, what you're communicating, 1658 01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:44,000 Speaker 5: uh is important? You know, are you exposing something unsafe? 1659 01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:44,760 Speaker 2: Uh? 1660 01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:46,960 Speaker 6: You know, unethical? Illegal? 1661 01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:47,640 Speaker 2: Uh? 1662 01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:51,200 Speaker 5: That type of speech tends to be protected. Is it 1663 01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:52,519 Speaker 5: a matter of public interest? 1664 01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:52,800 Speaker 4: You know? 1665 01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:56,800 Speaker 6: Is there is their First Amendment issue? And you know 1666 01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,640 Speaker 6: then are you are you talking about the terms and 1667 01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:01,599 Speaker 6: cantions of your work. 1668 01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:06,280 Speaker 5: Is it you know, is it a collective discussion that 1669 01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:09,800 Speaker 5: might be protected again under the national wave relationship. 1670 01:20:09,479 --> 01:20:11,160 Speaker 1: Right, and the other element of this too. I use 1671 01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:13,400 Speaker 1: another example we've seen this happen before, where somebody is 1672 01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:15,960 Speaker 1: a fast food worker and they're doing something in the 1673 01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:19,080 Speaker 1: kitchen that you know, could wind up getting a customer sick, 1674 01:20:19,160 --> 01:20:20,920 Speaker 1: doing something stupid, and they post it and they wind 1675 01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:22,920 Speaker 1: up getting fired. They could turn around and say, well, 1676 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,680 Speaker 1: I was just exposing this because you know as a whistleblower. Well, 1677 01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:28,880 Speaker 1: it's different if you're participating in it. Is the crux 1678 01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,040 Speaker 1: of the their argument or their defense going, hey, I 1679 01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:33,400 Speaker 1: presented this to management, showed them the video and they 1680 01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:36,719 Speaker 1: didn't do anything. If you post it on social after 1681 01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:39,920 Speaker 1: they refused to act on the complaint, does that then 1682 01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:41,200 Speaker 1: make it a whistleblower complaint? 1683 01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:43,200 Speaker 6: It could? 1684 01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:44,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1685 01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:48,040 Speaker 5: I mean going to your employer first and raising the 1686 01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:51,840 Speaker 5: concern I think would would would heighten the protection. 1687 01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:56,120 Speaker 6: Because you're, you know, it shows you have an interest 1688 01:20:56,920 --> 01:20:57,960 Speaker 6: in you. 1689 01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:02,760 Speaker 5: Know, protecting folks I guess from getting sick in that case. 1690 01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:04,840 Speaker 1: Right at the very least, it sounds like, you know, 1691 01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:06,719 Speaker 1: the common sense thing to do outside of the legal 1692 01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:10,080 Speaker 1: wranglings of this is to simply give the employer, give 1693 01:21:10,080 --> 01:21:11,879 Speaker 1: your employer a chance to remedy the situation. 1694 01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:16,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that that certainly establishes an element of 1695 01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:20,919 Speaker 5: good faith rather than just you know, trying to cause problems, 1696 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:23,920 Speaker 5: right if if you're trying to address the problem, uh, 1697 01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:24,719 Speaker 5: you know, make. 1698 01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:25,400 Speaker 2: Somebody aware of it. 1699 01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:28,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's and that's just common sense and has something 1700 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:29,960 Speaker 1: to do with the law. The first step is going 1701 01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:31,800 Speaker 1: to your boss or your employers saying, hey, here's this 1702 01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:34,760 Speaker 1: is a problem. Why why are we doing this? Why 1703 01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:36,679 Speaker 1: am I shoveling snow art? Or why is this person 1704 01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:38,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, doing something in a kitchen at a 1705 01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:41,040 Speaker 1: at a fast food restaurant they shouldn't be doing. If 1706 01:21:41,080 --> 01:21:44,840 Speaker 1: they ignore that at workplace safety issues, then okay, then 1707 01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:46,640 Speaker 1: then you know you post it on social it's a 1708 01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:50,200 Speaker 1: different story entirely.

No, it was I don't know, maybe been 1953 01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:20,120 Speaker 1: like eight or nine. 1954 01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:23,760 Speaker 7: You know, I like to give the benefits of your 1955 01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:24,719 Speaker 7: time zone. 1956 01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:26,880 Speaker 1: I don't know times I'm going to cruise the middle 1957 01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:28,400 Speaker 1: of the ocean near Greece, I didn't know, I know 1958 01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:28,960 Speaker 1: what day it is. 1959 01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:30,720 Speaker 7: That's the point. They want to make you feel like 1960 01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:32,240 Speaker 7: you have absolutely no control. 1961 01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:34,920 Speaker 8: It's nice, but it's like it seems like we got 1962 01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:38,160 Speaker 8: the DJ DJ at a coffee shop. Just seems if 1963 01:32:38,160 --> 01:32:41,360 Speaker 8: you're there. The most coffee shops, people are working or relaxing. Right, 1964 01:32:41,439 --> 01:32:44,479 Speaker 8: But this is this is the point, though, So what 1965 01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:47,160 Speaker 8: is the point. We didn't even get to the point. 1966 01:32:47,240 --> 01:32:49,840 Speaker 7: So this coffee club Cincinnati, first of all, it's happening 1967 01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:52,519 Speaker 7: this Saturday at eleven am to one thirty, and they, 1968 01:32:53,000 --> 01:32:55,120 Speaker 7: of course they're gonna be starting to espresso Martiniz and 1969 01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:59,160 Speaker 7: stuff like that. It's at Aces Pickleball so at Factory 1970 01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:01,360 Speaker 7: fifty two in North Would But you are also seeing 1971 01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:04,479 Speaker 7: it pop up in coffee shops as well. But what 1972 01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:07,200 Speaker 7: makes us really great is, you know, this isn't a 1973 01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:10,639 Speaker 7: dedicated coffee shop, so if you are a local coffee 1974 01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:12,640 Speaker 7: shop dweller and trying to get work done, you're not 1975 01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:16,719 Speaker 7: randomly stepping into a rave. But it's this point of like, Okay, 1976 01:33:16,840 --> 01:33:18,960 Speaker 7: you want to go out and grab coffee and maybe 1977 01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:22,519 Speaker 7: socialize with some people, have a DJ dance. The space 1978 01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:24,160 Speaker 7: is big enough where you don't need to press your 1979 01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:26,840 Speaker 7: face right up against the speaker and feel the beats, 1980 01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:29,800 Speaker 7: you know, pump it through your body. That's what the 1981 01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:33,760 Speaker 7: caffeine is for. And they're bringing in local vendors, so 1982 01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:36,439 Speaker 7: this is your chaste to have, you know, espresso, Martini, 1983 01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:39,400 Speaker 7: Mimosa's cocktails, and it's a little bit of a mix 1984 01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:42,519 Speaker 7: and mingle. So this is a fun little twist where 1985 01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:47,960 Speaker 7: they are handing out optional green wristbands and this indicates 1986 01:33:48,479 --> 01:33:51,960 Speaker 7: that hey, you can't. Yeah, this is not a singles event, 1987 01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:54,760 Speaker 7: but potentially it could be that, Hey, I want to. 1988 01:33:54,760 --> 01:33:59,160 Speaker 8: Be hit on, so you if you choose to, I 1989 01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:00,960 Speaker 8: don't think it's a better Yeah, it's good because you 1990 01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:02,600 Speaker 8: know what you don't know the signals. 1991 01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:06,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, you don't know nowadays know.

Earlier this week? 2034 01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:32,439 Speaker 3: What happened? 2035 01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:37,639 Speaker 9: Yeah, the you know, the revenue missed forecasts a bit, 2036 01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,800 Speaker 9: The guidance wasn't great but then you also had the 2037 01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:46,640 Speaker 9: news from the the you know, from Washington about you know, 2038 01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:51,760 Speaker 9: President Trump proposing that the reimbursement rates for Medicare advantage 2039 01:36:51,760 --> 01:36:55,519 Speaker 9: aren't going to go up all that much and at 2040 01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:57,639 Speaker 9: least the proposts for twenty twenty seven. And I think 2041 01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:01,640 Speaker 9: that really spooked a lot lot of investors. And we 2042 01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:05,639 Speaker 9: saw not just United Help Shares tumble on that news, 2043 01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:11,120 Speaker 9: but CBS, which owns Etna. You saw Humana get hit, 2044 01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:14,679 Speaker 9: a couple of the other smaller, you know, Medicare focused 2045 01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:19,320 Speaker 9: insurers like Sentien and Alena, also you know, getting hit 2046 01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:23,200 Speaker 9: Anthem owner Elevents as well. So it was just a 2047 01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:27,560 Speaker 9: very difficult time for the the insurers, you know, in 2048 01:37:27,640 --> 01:37:31,320 Speaker 9: light of that. And now you know, it went from 2049 01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:34,000 Speaker 9: being the darling of the Dow, the company that at 2050 01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:38,000 Speaker 9: the highest price by far, to you know, kind of 2051 01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:39,559 Speaker 9: middle of the pack, but it still has a high 2052 01:37:39,640 --> 01:37:41,800 Speaker 9: enough price that it impacts the Dow. Because what was 2053 01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,600 Speaker 9: interesting on you know, the news was the rest of 2054 01:37:44,680 --> 01:37:46,160 Speaker 9: the market held up relatively well. 2055 01:37:47,560 --> 01:37:50,760 Speaker 15: Paul helped me reconcile these two ideas then that are 2056 01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:54,519 Speaker 15: in my head for pretty much the last thirty five years. 2057 01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:58,840 Speaker 15: One of the most consistent investments in terms of performance 2058 01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:03,160 Speaker 15: has been healthy insurance, specifically United Health, like they just 2059 01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:07,840 Speaker 15: cranked from basically nineteen ninety onward. How do I reconcile 2060 01:38:07,960 --> 01:38:10,880 Speaker 15: that with the fact that now this is a pretty 2061 01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:14,800 Speaker 15: hostile environment for insurers across the board, not just doing 2062 01:38:14,840 --> 01:38:18,240 Speaker 15: at health insurance. Like everyone's talking about insurance costs and 2063 01:38:18,320 --> 01:38:21,280 Speaker 15: we're talking about you know, capping them and figuring out 2064 01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:25,120 Speaker 15: you know, reimbursement rates and this and that. Is this 2065 01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:28,800 Speaker 15: a fundamentally different environment than just a year or two ago, 2066 01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:33,280 Speaker 15: Or is this just a little not little blip, but 2067 01:38:33,360 --> 01:38:35,720 Speaker 15: you know, some kind of speed bump and then these 2068 01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:38,120 Speaker 15: guys resume they're regularly scheduled programming. 2069 01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:39,040 Speaker 4: Yeah. 2070 01:38:39,120 --> 01:38:43,400 Speaker 9: I don't know if this is going to be you know, 2071 01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:47,800 Speaker 9: the industry getting back to the way it used to be. 2072 01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:54,360 Speaker 9: I mean, you have a pretty vocal, you know, anti 2073 01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:58,639 Speaker 9: insurer sentiment I think in DC. And this is by parison, 2074 01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:01,840 Speaker 9: this is by no means just President Trump and the 2075 01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:04,760 Speaker 9: Republican Party. I think a lot of Democrats, you know, 2076 01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:12,000 Speaker 9: clearly are a very hostile towards this industry as well. 2077 01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:17,320 Speaker 9: And you know, is something that is you know, a 2078 01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:20,880 Speaker 9: very easy political win because you know, you're not going 2079 01:39:20,960 --> 01:39:25,280 Speaker 9: to find too many people who you know look at 2080 01:39:25,320 --> 01:39:28,920 Speaker 9: their you know, doctors bills and say, yeah, I love 2081 01:39:29,120 --> 01:39:30,160 Speaker 9: my health insurance. 2082 01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:31,240 Speaker 7: Wish I could pay more? 2083 01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:36,400 Speaker 9: Yes, yes, definitely they deserve a lot more. Uh, this 2084 01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:38,639 Speaker 9: is not something that I think is going to change. 2085 01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:40,400 Speaker 9: Any time you. 2086 01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:43,840 Speaker 1: Take the bread becomes the vessel to put the super 2087 01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:47,280 Speaker 1: Think a toddler eating for the first time.
