1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Do you want to be in a county it's flowing 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: me back on seven hundred, w adaddie, Man. We got 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: a lot to get to today, for sure, this is 4 00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: a really interesting story. We have seen a lot of 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: street razors and street takeovers in Cincinnati, and I'm yeah, 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if more younger people are doing it 7 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 1: today than you did back in the day, or it 8 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: could just be that we see it because cameras are everywhere, 9 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: and these people are putting it online and it is 10 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: a problem for sure. So what do you think about this? 11 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: In Kentucky, lawmakers are working on a bill there that 12 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: would allow the state to seize and destroy vehicles used 13 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: in street racing or street takeovers. From a civil libertarian perspective, 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: does a punishment fit the crime. It's a good idea. 15 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: It's a good to turn on that From Newport Is, 16 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: Kentucky Representative Matt Lehman, Democratic, Campbell County, Matt, welcome. How 17 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: are you. I'm doing fine. I think we have the 18 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: same temperature. No, kidd, it was like third to walk 19 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: the dog yesterday. Man, it was thirty degrees. It felt 20 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: like it was eighty. 21 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 2: I know what. That was a nice tot break. 22 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to get forty late next week. It's 23 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: going to feel like we live in Palm Springs. Before 24 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: I get into the crushing of cars used in street 25 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: racing real quick, I want to touch on something you're 26 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: voting on, and that is the new landlord bill in 27 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: Kentucky law that would terminate a rental agreement in three 28 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: days notice when law enforcement or fire protection emergency services 29 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: are dispatched more than three times within a six month 30 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: period to the same location, and it's because of the 31 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: tenants conduct. I think that's really good laws the landlord myself, 32 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: because on this side of the river anyway, at least 33 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, they expect the landlord to essentially be a babysitter. 34 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: If you're a grown adult and you're running a property, 35 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: you know, I shouldn't get in trouble because you're speeding 36 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: or doing a streets takeover. Yet when you're in my property, 37 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: it's like, well, wait a minute, these are growing. I 38 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: could see if I neglected the property, but that's about it. 39 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: I can't control the comings and goings of an adult. 40 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, so now it's you're right, and and actually the 41 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: bills proposed in Kentucky is actually pretty similar to some 42 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: of the surrounding states, so that you know, this is 43 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: Kentucky's in some ways a little bit behind on this. 44 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: And and you know, look, I anytime I hear a 45 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: bill that the landlords are pushing, Look, sometimes I'm a 46 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 2: little skeptical. You know, they have their own interest, but 47 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: it's but you're right. So the way a lot of 48 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: municipal walls are, it puts all the burden on the landlords. 49 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 2: So it's if you own a property and it's a 50 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: nuisance or your tenants a nuisance, it becomes the landlord's property. 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: And the landlord doesn't always have the tools, uh to 52 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,959 Speaker 2: remove a tenant that is a true problem and a 53 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 2: nuisance to the neighborhood. So this this would help and 54 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 2: kind of reduce the timelines, uh, you know for evicting 55 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 2: a real problem tenant. Two issues that I you know, 56 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 2: I've talked to the bill sponsor, we may say, you 57 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: know to two issues that were brought to me. One 58 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: was actually from the city of Newports, the mayor Tom 59 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: Gadilly Junior. I mean he mentioned, look that the the 60 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 2: largest number of calls for police in the city and 61 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: Newport is actually parking in fractions, and so we don't 62 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 2: you know, we don't want to be evicting people that 63 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: you know, they've had three calls because their neighbor doesn't 64 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 2: like where they're parking. You know, I don't think we 65 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: got to make sure this is balanced, that you know 66 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 2: that there's real infractions and the real problem in the 67 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: neighborhood and not just you know, your neighbor doesn't like 68 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: and keeps calling the cops. And the other one is, 69 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 2: you know, make sure that you know, we don't want 70 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 2: to have the landlord making the call say hey, you know, 71 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: I think rent's gone up. I could get a better 72 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: tenant and you know, allow of the landlord to make 73 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: three calls and uh, you know, try to get that out. 74 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 2: But well, you know, I think there's some we'll get 75 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 2: the bill in pretty good shape. And I think it's 76 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: got a good chance. 77 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: Okay, good, good, that's all I think. That's I think 78 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: that's good legislation. Matt Lemon. Let me pivot then to 79 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: the issue at hand here, and that is, if you're 80 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: caught up in a street race or a street takeover, uh, 81 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: it's not a three strikes And now this is interesting. 82 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: So the first defense if they catch you doing this 83 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: is up to one thousand dollars five six months in 84 00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: jail and ninety day vehicle impoundment. Second time, it's a 85 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: year in jail, two thousand dollars fine, license suspension, and 86 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: the state takes your vehicle. Why why the second time? 87 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: Why not? The third time is usually it's three strikes in, 88 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: you're out. This is two strikes in, you're out. 89 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I so we passed a bill in the 90 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 2: House last year pretty similar to the building proposed. It 91 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 2: didn't make it through the Senate last year, so we've 92 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 2: kind of made it, tweaked a few changes, and I 93 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: think it made Look I voted for it last year. 94 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 2: I'll vote for it again, you know. And I know people, 95 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: you know, when you're taking property and so on, it's 96 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 2: you know, civil libertarians get real cautious. But you know, 97 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: I mean, this is very dangerous activity. I mean, we're 98 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 2: talking about residential neighborhoods, cars going at very high I mean, 99 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: these are souped up cars that can go one hundred 100 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty one hundred and sixty miles an hour, 101 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 2: and it's just, you know, this is how people die. 102 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: And you know, we've had real problems with this in 103 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 2: certain parts of Kentucky, especially like in Louisville. So the 104 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: bill sponsored bipartisan bill. There's two co sponsors from Republican 105 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: and the Democrat. In fact, the Democrats. She was previously 106 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: the mayor of Shively, which is a suburb of Louisville, 107 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: so she you know, she she's been a mayor and 108 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 2: now state legislator Beverly Chester Burton, so you know she 109 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 2: understands it. I mean, there has to be as it's 110 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: you know, it's not cool. I mean, and I think, yeah, totally. 111 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: We saw cam Taylor britt right, do you know what 112 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: three times, you know, a third time he was a 113 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: passionor but it's the car flipped over the other two 114 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: times he's driving like two hundred miles an hour in 115 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: the street. 116 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 2: You can't have it, Yeah, agreed. And I and I 117 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: just think, yeah, look, I mean sometimes three strikes is 118 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: fine that you know that he's lucky he got a 119 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: third try. I mean, you know, we just yeah, I mean, 120 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 2: it is tough, but I think it's it's a very 121 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 2: serious problem. And then we're going to address it really 122 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 2: head on. 123 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: So has this done anything to stop it in Louisville 124 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: since introduced us. 125 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll see. And you made a good point. 126 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: So after we did not pass it through the Senate 127 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 2: last year, the City of Louisville passing unisial ordinance. You know, 128 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: the mayor was on TV summer crushing a I think 129 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: it was like one hundred thousand dollars dodge, you know, 130 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 2: street racer. You know, right, we'll see, I mean to 131 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 2: be honest, you know that this went into effect in 132 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 2: the City of Louisville, I think in the spring. So 133 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: we've seen it, you know, about nine months, so we'll see. 134 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 2: We'll see if it's working. Anecdotes say it does seem 135 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 2: to be and especially like I said, when we saw 136 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: the mayor crushing that car, it got a lot of 137 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 2: attention in Louisville. So yeah, we're hopeful that we'll be 138 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 2: able to give the tools, not just to the City 139 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: of Louisville, but you know, other other cities around. 140 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: Well, we know that you know, you know, murder is 141 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 1: not the capital punishment is not a deterrent for people. 142 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if this will generally thinking, oh, this 143 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: will be a deterrent. There's there's plenty of knuckleheads out there. 144 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: They'll continue to do that now. Now, granted, not all 145 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: the cars, and certainly I would think it's a very 146 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: small percentage of the cars involved in driving this fast, 147 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: our one hundred thousand dollars vehicles, right that can go. 148 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: Typically it's going to be someone in a you know, 149 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: souped up Honda or something like that. Right. 150 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: I think that's where you know, when you think I 151 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 2: don't know, Look, I mean there's been street racing forever 152 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: and I when I was in high school and you'd 153 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 2: see it, I guess the place to do in northern 154 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 2: Kentucky when I was growing up without in Florence and 155 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 2: Dream Street and you'd see that you have souped up 156 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 2: Hondas and stuff. But no, I think this is getting 157 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: much more sophisticated and becoming And that's when it started 158 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: to become a real like it's not just you know, 159 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: teenagers behaving, you know, unsafe. It was like nearly semi professional. 160 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 2: I mean, these are cars that were meant for racetracks, right, 161 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: lots of money going into it, well organized as well, 162 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: you know, they'd organized on social media, you know, and 163 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 2: have these events. So it was really getting to a 164 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: point where this this had to be strong, measureds needed 165 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: to be taken. 166 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: I got you. And so the is it is it 167 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: getting worse? What is the day to say? Because you 168 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: kind of harkened, hey back in the day people that 169 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: used to drag race back tell you American graffiti from 170 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: the nineteen fifties. Well, they're doing the same thing that 171 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: that younger people are doing today. It's nothing new. But 172 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: is it getting worse? 173 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 2: Well, like I said, it's getting almost more professional. The 174 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: cars are much more like these are street cars, I 175 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: should say race cars or near race cars. They're able 176 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: to go very high speeds, and like I said, they're 177 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 2: you know, collecting crowds or organizing on social media. It 178 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 2: was not just like I said, it's kind of a 179 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: you know, just on a whim, We're going to go 180 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 2: out to the countryside and find an open stretch of 181 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 2: road and you know this is like I said. So, 182 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: I don't know the data says it's more often, but 183 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 2: it's certainly much more professional, with much higher specification cars 184 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: going at much higher speed and a lot more people involved. 185 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: He is Kentucky. Ret Matt Lehman out of a Newport, 186 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: represents Campbell County and there's a proposal out second time 187 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: around because it failed in the Senate. I believe you 188 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: mentioned Matt last time, and that is to deal with 189 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: the issue of street takeovers and street racers. And so 190 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: if you're engaged in drag racing or takeover, first penalty 191 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: is pretty stip six months in jail, ninety day impoundment, 192 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: and up to a thousand dollars five Second time, they 193 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: could very well take your car and destroy it. And 194 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: that is the eye catching part. They seize your property, 195 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: find you, maybe jael you, but also they're going to 196 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: take that thing and smash it in a million pieces, 197 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: regardless of what it's worth and how much you know, 198 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: how much I could get for it in the market. 199 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 1: And that for a second offense, how do you balance that, 200 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: Matt with And that's a pretty severe penalty. The concerns 201 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: about due process and proportionality, and of course the Eighth Amendment, 202 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: which is the excessive fines concern that's an interesting constitutional question. 203 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: I'm sure someone would challenge this lawn that the Supreme Court, 204 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: I think in Indiana a few years ago said the 205 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: excessive fine clause applies to states and vehicle forfeiture can 206 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: violate that eighth Amendment. 207 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, so a couple of things. So one I do 208 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 2: want to point out in the state law that we're 209 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 2: proposing in the House, it would actually allow either for 210 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 2: the crushing of the car or the sale of the 211 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 2: cart auction, and then the money from that sale would 212 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 2: actually go to a defense victims fund. So you know, 213 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: it's it's not just about crushing the car and wasting 214 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: money and making a point. You know, there is a 215 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: mechanism that, yes, we could the state could collect after 216 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 2: selling the car and use it for a good purpose. 217 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: You're right. I mean, look, we always try to balance 218 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 2: with the crime and the punishment. Like you said, eighth 219 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 2: Amendment concerns. But and I do think that's been appropriately handled. 220 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: First of all, again, this is a second offense. So you know, 221 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 2: you do it once, it's you know, it's a it's 222 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: a stiff fine. You do it twice. I mean, you 223 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 2: you've been warned, you've done it once. I mean there 224 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 2: is a I mean, look, there is a process. We 225 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 2: don't just take the car and crush it. You know, 226 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 2: it does have to go to the court. You have 227 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 2: to be i mean convicted. So it's you know, this 228 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 2: isn't just you know, when when you get into some 229 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: of those issues, it tends to be you know, when 230 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 2: there's like that civil forfeiture sor you know, when the 231 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 2: police take something before you've had your in court. That's 232 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: not the case here. So this is a pretty well 233 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 2: established it would be a well established process, goes through 234 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 2: full court process. You know, you get your day in 235 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: court and the hearing. And like I said, this is 236 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: only if this has happened the second time. And don't 237 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 2: minimize I mean this, this is very very dangerous activity. 238 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: No question. 239 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think I think the different going over 240 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 2: one hundred miles an hour. We're not talking about screwing around. 241 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: I mean this, this is people die. 242 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: And yeah, well we saw you know the Campdale brid 243 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: thing I brought up earlier. There's in the streets as 244 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: opposed to maybe the nineteen fifties, there's nowhere to go. 245 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: It's the streets are more crowded and there's more people 246 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: around and vehicles, so the screw streets are jam packed 247 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: and it's only a matter of time. And now you 248 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: know the breath will this include the people who are 249 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: taking like them at intersection where they're doing burrons like donuts? 250 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 2: No, so this is I and you know I'd have 251 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 2: to take better. We worked on how to define what 252 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: street racing is. This isn't just you know, driving too fast. 253 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 2: This is I mean, we have plenty of laws about 254 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: you know, speed driving. This is really about when it's 255 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 2: organized and it's intended to take over the street for 256 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 2: racing and like these kind of organized events. It's not 257 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 2: just a driver driving in appropriately off and on. 258 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: Okay, I thought that might include that as well, because 259 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: there's some leeway and read through the bill, looks like 260 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: that that the criteria for what the standard is in 261 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: that bill would meet those that are doing donuts in 262 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: the streets. So is there something else say at play here? 263 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: Too? 264 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: Is that I remember when like kids were rollerblading or 265 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: skateboarding and parking lots, so we had this huge ban 266 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: and they can't skate. We're criminalizing skating. And then Minispela said, well, 267 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: maybe we offered them on alternate, Maybe we build some 268 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: skate parks. Do we need to do that with like, 269 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, there's plenty of land of race tracks. 270 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, maybe hey, look, I think give 271 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: an outlet. If you're going to do it, here's a 272 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: place to do it safely. 273 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: That's actually not a bad idea. And we actually have 274 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 2: the Kentucky Speedway that closed down a couple of years ago. 275 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 2: If you've been down that, and maybe that's not a 276 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: bad idea, and that the uh you know, and you 277 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 2: can do it safely and make sure it's at the 278 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: right place. Yeah, I'm not against that. And maybe maybe 279 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: you have a good idea there. 280 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: We'll throw throw it in there. You got to get 281 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: people alternative, Like if you're want to do it, you 282 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: want to do it, well, you sign a waiver and 283 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: you can hear here's the strip and no one's going 284 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: to get killed. You put some guardrails up or whatever. 285 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: And if you're out there and you get hit, that's 286 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: on you, it's not on us. And you know, we 287 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 1: have plenty of we have plenty of paved road around that. 288 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: Doing much or parking lots wherever it might be probably 289 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: wouldn't be easy. Command you could get in with the 290 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: car clubs that want to sponsor this stuff. 291 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, that may not be a bad idea. 292 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: There's that, that's your idea. I'll tell you go ahead. 293 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,719 Speaker 2: I think so I'll call it the Scott Blown Memorial. 294 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: Pre Racing ville or I'm still yeah, well, I mean 295 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: you've got to get people an alternative otherwise. 296 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: Now if you you know, because well where are we 297 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: going to go do this? Well, there's nowhere to go 298 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: do it because privately people can't afford the insurance. But 299 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: certainly from the municipality or a government standpoint, you have 300 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: the opportunity or something like that. I think. So, yeah, 301 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: the other side, the other side of this, of course, 302 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: when you talk about civil asset forfeiture, what bothers me 303 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: is and you say the antent of the spirit of 304 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: the law is this. But we know that municipalities, especially today, 305 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: when they're when they're they're crunch or cash. I mean, 306 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: look at the speed camera scam that's been going on 307 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: for too long that they will look at as a 308 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: revenue stream. And so now anyone caught and maybe look 309 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: like they're racing, or two people driving fast at the 310 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: same time at a highway or road, hey, now we're 311 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: gonna nail you and seize your vehicle or hit you 312 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: with a huge fine. 313 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 3: Uh. 314 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: And if we get you a second time, great, we're 315 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna simply take your vehicle. And to think 316 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: that somehow we're not going to abuse that it can 317 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: be abused. I mean, I will look at some cases 318 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: around CVG for example, the DEA. Now that's federal, not local. 319 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: But DIA got caught red handed not long ago. It's 320 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: CVEG shaking down what taking eleven thousand dollars on the passenger. 321 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: There's a huge case and I think it was Oklahoma 322 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: or a deputy. There's a guy out raising money for 323 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: a Christian refugees and orphans and they took fifty three 324 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: grand in a traffic stop. He's on his way to 325 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: the bank. Never charged him, never had his day in court. 326 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: They kept the damn money. This happens all the time, 327 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: and it's such a big problem. In the last twenty years. 328 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: You may not know this, but in the last twenty years, 329 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: something like seventy billion dollars has been seized from individuals 330 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: like this, including vehicles. How do you make sure this 331 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: doesn't turn into a case of abuse by the government. 332 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think you bring up Look, the civil 333 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 2: forfeiture issue is a real problem. I agree with that. 334 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 2: This is not again, this isn't the case here. This 335 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 2: is going to be a state crime and it's it. 336 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 2: And you're like, I mean, at the end of the day, 337 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: you have your day in court, you get your car 338 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 2: back if you're found not guilty. Right, you know, at 339 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 2: some point we have to trust our legal process in 340 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 2: our course. And you're right, it's a balance. So I'm 341 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 2: not going to quaim it will never be a case 342 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 2: of a city trying to abuse this in Kentucky, and 343 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 2: certainly we don't intend that to be the case, and 344 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: certainly that we have our courts and have high level 345 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: of faith in our courts to see through that. But 346 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 2: like I said, this is very dangerous activity that's detecting 347 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 2: people's live and again right now, it's been a real 348 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 2: issue in Louisville, right and it comes up off and on, 349 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 2: and you know, we just want to make sure that 350 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 2: there are the tools to make sure people are safe. 351 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: And again, this isn't just a nuisance activity. This is 352 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 2: a deadly activity. So let's we have to kind of 353 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 2: put that in balance. 354 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it's a big problem in Louisville, probably Lexington, 355 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: and you know, you're closer to Cincinnati than you are 356 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: Louisville because you're a newport and you look across the river. 357 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: Not your problem, but you see what's happening in Cincinnati, 358 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: also in Dayton and elsewhere. So it's a problem across 359 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: the country and in spri state for sure. We'll see 360 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: where this goes, and I appreciate you joining the show. 361 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: We'll probably follow up on this. I'm guessing the future. 362 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: Is Kentucky Representative Matt Lehman joining the show here on 363 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: a Newport Matt, thanks again for the time. Man, It's 364 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: been great anytime. Thankscott, appreciate you. Be well. We'll get 365 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: to a news update then we'll talk about this with you. 366 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: And if you think that this is good law or 367 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: could be right for abuse, my civil libertarian side of 368 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: the thing hates it. I'll be honest with you. I'll 369 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: tell you why. Also, if time allows the pause on 370 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: ice in Springfield, not the cold weather ice rather, but 371 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: of course immigration and customer enforcement that's been on pause 372 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: because of a judge and maybe an angle on this. 373 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: It has been considered yet I'm going to offer, and 374 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: that are actually something called the facts of what it 375 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: is we're dealing with. For those who compare this to 376 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: what's happening in Minnesota, it's entirely two different things. And 377 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: I'll explain why next seven hundred ww plony back on 378 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW thanks again to Matt Layman, representative out 379 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: of Newport Campbell County, to talk about this proposal that 380 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: involves seizing a vehicle and crushing it if you're involved 381 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: in street racing, and that would be for the second offense, 382 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 1: not the first offense. Up to one thousand dollars fine 383 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: for the first defense, six months jail, ninety day vehicle 384 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: impoundment if you are caught speeding, if you've caught well racing. 385 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: I should say in granted, it's a large problem, but 386 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 1: I think there's a bigger problem this than that is. 387 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: I look at this as someone who just doesn't trust government. 388 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: I'm kind of old school that way. I'm a less 389 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 1: government kind of guy. Today we have people who claim 390 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: we want less government, but have no problem with more 391 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: government as long as the people they support and voted 392 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: for are doing it. And the problem with that logic. 393 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: Rather than calling out those we supported and voted for, 394 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: and without calling them out and saying, hey, listen, this 395 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: is this is not acceptable. That's what occurs is something 396 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: like this becomes law and it becomes abused because this 397 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: is ripe for abuse. We've seen this before I mentioned 398 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: that CBG, there was someone there's a few years ago 399 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: guys got like eleven thousand dollars cash on them, not 400 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: connected to a crime. You know, it's US legal currency. 401 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: There's no reason to suspect this person was involved in 402 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: crime at all. And yet because it was that amount 403 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: of cash, they seized it and there was no hearing, 404 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: no due process, nothing whatsoever. They keep it to the 405 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: point where seventy billion dollars in the last twenty five 406 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: years has been seized by the FEDS with absolutely no 407 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: remedy to get that money back. I mean, you know, 408 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: we know that state budgets, local budgets are squeezed, So 409 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: doesn't that give the government more incentive to be more 410 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: liberal in their application this law if they're looking to 411 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: increase their bottom line. Hey, we need money, we need roads, 412 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 1: we need cops, we need speedcare. Speed camera is a 413 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: great example of that where it wasn't about stopping speeders, 414 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: it was about getting revenue, revenue enhancement. And if you 415 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: simply go, well, my guys supporting this, my girls supporting 416 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: they are my person's against this, then this is what 417 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: you wind up getting. And it does fit into what's 418 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: going on to some degree right now in Springfield, Oh, 419 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: this is on hold, and I'll tie the two together here, 420 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: same same example. And what is happening with those TPS 421 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: households in this ringfield areas? So as you well, where 422 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: about this point the judge, a federal judge, is ruled 423 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: against any action in Springfield right now, the administration is 424 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: going to appeal because they want agents to go into Springfield. 425 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: And I think they had three out of there's up 426 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: to fifteen thousand. I think Haitian immigrants there, and there's 427 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: three hundred of them allegedly they're looking at, but it 428 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: could be more. And if there's three hundred people doing 429 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: wrong things, you know, you want to enforce the laws 430 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: in that regard. But I think that could be done locally. 431 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure. You know, it's like the folks 432 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 1: that are fighting in Minnesota right now, protesting. It's like, 433 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: you know, not all the people that they're rounding up 434 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: are good people. You know, you may be well putting 435 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 1: your life on the line or screaming and protesting to 436 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: protect someone who's getting hauled off, who certainly deserves it, 437 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: who's not only here illegally but also is involved in 438 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: a felony. Why would you why would you want that 439 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: person living in your neighborhood. It doesn't make any sense. 440 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: But the way this whole thing has been handled, it 441 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense at all. And the opposite side 442 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: is true as well. Now we are conflating because again 443 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: we have to be loyal to a person or a 444 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 1: party as opposed to the constitution. What's happening is the 445 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: same thing with ICE is like, well, wait, hold on, 446 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: just a second, ICE and temporary protective status, that those 447 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: are two different things. You know, someone's here legally and 448 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: the breaking the law. Now most people would say, well, 449 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: just by being here legally, you're breaking the law, And sure, 450 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: I suppose you are, and we deserve to know who 451 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: is on this side of our border, otherwise we're not 452 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: a sovereign nation, right. I think you can do this, 453 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 1: probably a little bit more surgical as opposed to a 454 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: catch all. But that is the chaos that has taken 455 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: root in America today, for sure. I think when it 456 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: comes though to those going, well, ICE is in Minnesota, 457 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: so we want to do the same thing in Springfield, 458 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: It's an entirely different situation, all right. So temporary protected 459 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: status that is something that our government. Now maybe it 460 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: certainly was under a different administration. And you can end 461 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: this because it is temporary, But why are we into 462 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: get right now? And I bring it up because if 463 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: the conditions in Haiti and they're still in a state 464 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: of emergency by the way, I think since twenty twenty 465 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: four they went in a state of emergency and the 466 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: State Department is still warning Americans not to visit Haiti 467 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: because of kidnapping, crime, terrorism, civil unrestings like that. Gangs 468 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: still control about eighty percent of the capital city of 469 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: Porta Prince, and they've killed more than well thirty five 470 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: hundred people in the first in about six every six months. 471 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: Haiti has not had a president since the assassination of 472 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: the president in July twenty twenty one. Last time they 473 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: had elections was ten years ago. So going hey, you 474 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: know what, it's temporary, everything's okay, you need to go back. 475 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,719 Speaker 1: It doesn't look that doesn't pass a sniff test, and 476 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: so what does that say about us. Comparing this and 477 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: equating this to what ICE is doing across the country 478 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: is silly because it's not the same thing. These are 479 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: people who were invited here and brought here by our 480 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: government and did so in places like Springfield that was 481 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: a dying community, and now I don't know if it's thriving. 482 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: I've been in Springfield a while, but it's certainly a 483 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: lot better off with the immigrants there. And I bring 484 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: this up because my bottom line is the bottom line. 485 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: It's about money, it's about capitalism, it's about enriching our 486 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: tax space and having people in the country that want 487 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 1: to do stuff and be productive, regardless of where they 488 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: come from. If you came here legally, it's a different story. 489 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: But these people were brought here legally by the United 490 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: States government. And so all right, let's wave the magic 491 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: wand and get rid of some ten to fifteen thousand people. 492 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're can get roll of them. 493 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: It could just be a few hundred at this point. Again, again, 494 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: there is just so much extreme extremes and exaggeration that 495 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: it tends to drown out what the facts are. And 496 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: I tend to look at the facts. So if you 497 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 1: look at TPS whole an employment rate, this is nationally. 498 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: I don't have the Ohio data in front of me, 499 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: but the rate of those people who come this country 500 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: under temporary protective status, their employment rate is ninety five percent. 501 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: Ninety five percent. The other five percent maybe I don't know, 502 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 1: stay at home parent could be someone who winds up 503 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: becoming disabled. But ninety five percent employment in that community 504 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: is astounding, which goes to show you what they are 505 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 1: here to work and do jobs that the rest of 506 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: us really think are beneath us. So for those that think, hey, 507 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: we know, we got to throw them all out because 508 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: they're eating dogs and cats, which is absolutely that's insane. 509 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: What's going to happen to Let's say the building trades 510 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: construction because a lot of the folks who come here 511 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: from those countries. In this case we're talking about Haiti. 512 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: Our men are in the construction field. We're talking industries 513 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 1: like you know, building in grounds, clear landscaping. Landscaping is 514 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: a really hard job. They're in the transportation that some 515 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: truck drivers, manufacturing retail. Food service is a big one. 516 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: Healthcare is a big one. There are thirteen thousand of 517 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: them are nursing assistants, eight thousand caregivers. There is are 518 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: Haitians alone who are taking care of our parents who 519 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: are in assisted living or something on a situation like that. 520 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 1: Agriculture of course another big one as well. Some fifteen 521 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: thousand Haitians are in agriculture. These are jobs typically that 522 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: we look at going, yeah, swinging a hammer, I don't know, 523 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: working out in these elements, driving a truck. You know, 524 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: they're in truck drivings, a noble ocuams, So they are 525 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: all noble occupations. Healthcare is certainly a noble occupation, which 526 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: we need more of those bodies. So what happens if 527 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 1: we do this and now we're seeing the effects of this, 528 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,679 Speaker 1: the chilling effect that it has is all these Haitians 529 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: are winding out, leaving, going somewhere else because they affer 530 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: they're afraid they're going to get swept up, because they're 531 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: conflating with what Ice is doing. And that may or 532 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: may not be true. But again, if you're like, hey, 533 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: and these people bought houses, I mean, the real estate 534 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: market there turned around that I know about, Springfield's doing great. 535 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,919 Speaker 1: And because Haitians came in and starting to manufacturing, came 536 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: in and created seven thousand jobs. Because say, hey, we've 537 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: got a steady base of people here who want to 538 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: show up to work, who are passing drug screening tests. 539 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: That's what we need to build stuff to get stuff done, 540 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: and we're doing it in Springfield, and now we want 541 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: to turn that off. The question would be why, Well, 542 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: because temporary okay, but why are we ending this now? 543 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: The situation in Haiti is still as bad as it 544 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: ever was. And this is not from me, This is 545 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: from the Department of State. Now DHS is saying, well, 546 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 1: conditions are proved enough, safe return. But you talk to us, 547 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: it's like, well, they're still an emergency under State of Emergencies. 548 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: Still don't have a president in the last ten years. 549 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: The capital is completely run by gangs. Doesn't tull like 550 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: an area you should go to, But they're telling Americans 551 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: not to go there. Why are we evoking temporary protected status? 552 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: You know, that's all driven by elections. It's driven by 553 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: you know, getting out your core voters if you're Trump. 554 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: But I wonder too, in this climate and with the 555 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: midterm elections coming up, that's a smart thing to do 556 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 1: in Ohio. If you know the election is going to 557 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: be decided by razor thin margins, it's it's not a 558 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: good look. You know, go ice doing what they do 559 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 1: and finding bad people and rounding them up. That's what 560 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: President Trump was elected to do. No, no question about it. 561 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: Could you do it a little bit more gently and 562 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: persuasively and surgically, absolutely, But that that is not in 563 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: the nature of these guys. They tend to do things 564 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: and make a big deal, you know, tends to be 565 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 1: more well, maybe more shows sometimes in actual execution, we 566 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: just throw stuff out there and see what sticks. But yeah, 567 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: I get it, you know, not not all the people 568 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: were protests. There's people they're protesting and do you know 569 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: who you're fighting for? I guess it'd be the question 570 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: that particular individual, what's their story? Well they seem like 571 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 1: a nice guy, yeah, but wanted unfallily charges, you want 572 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: them living in your neighborhood. But we're gonna fight for 573 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: him anyway because it's us v them And that is 574 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: the blindness instead of just looking at it going the 575 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: problem is really government. We give them too much control. 576 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: This is what happens, and when they do things like 577 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: this and we don't call them out in their bs 578 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: even if we did vote for them, then what's going 579 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,120 Speaker 1: to happen when the tide turns and the opposition gets 580 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 1: into power. So you want all this stuff change, and 581 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: you're a Democrat and a Republican gets in and we're 582 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,199 Speaker 1: gonna go okay, well, that's just going to give them 583 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: more ammunition. I bring up the thing that Matt Lemon 584 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: was just talking about, and that is civil asset forfeiture. Okay, 585 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 1: it's bipartisan. He's a Democrat, Republicans are as well. But 586 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: what scares me about that is giving the government up 587 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: power and going, hey, second time we catch you speeding, 588 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna seize your car and crush it. Wait what Okay, Well, 589 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: we know that the roads are dangerous out there, more 590 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: congestined than ever before, and we've got idiots out there 591 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: like Cam Taylor Britt. That's a great advertisement for what 592 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: it does they want to do. I get that, But 593 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: what scares me is as budgets get thinner and thinner 594 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: and thinner, aren't thinking to use those laws to maybe 595 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 1: stretch a little bit and go, well, yeah, maybe I 596 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: we think you were speaking, we think you were drag racing. Well, 597 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 1: what makes you think that? Why you're driving fast? 598 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 4: Well? 599 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: What is that? 600 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 4: What? 601 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: And it's not codified in this bill? Hall, what is 602 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: that I'm doing fifty and a forty five? Is it 603 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: eighty and a forty five? Is it double this with 604 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: there's no it's kind of just up to us. That 605 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: I don't like because then it opens the system up 606 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: for abuse. And if you encourage the stuff and turn 607 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: a blind eye because it's the person who supported and 608 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: voted for when the tides turn, it's they're not gonna go, well, 609 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: we got to go back the way it was. No, 610 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: they don't. They simply give government power. They don't give 611 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: that away. The next party in power simply goes, we're 612 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: gonna use it even We're gonna use it to the 613 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: same level, if not more, And then people get tired 614 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: of that and swing the next party and as it goes. 615 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: But againually it's the continual erosion, like boiling of You 616 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: know how you cook a frog. As you turn the 617 00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: heat up slowly, you don't throw it in boiling a 618 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 1: wat it'll hop out, But if you turned it out slowly, 619 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: the frog stays in and dies because the water's odd 620 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: enough to kill it. And I think it's the same 621 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: thing here as a matter of fact, anyway, So that's 622 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: on pause right now. We'll see what happens later in 623 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: the show. I want to get into the Savannah Guthrie thing. 624 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: I guess it's Nanty Guthrie. And now, of course anything 625 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: and everything is tied to Cincinnati. Every time we have 626 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: a huge story, there's some connection, weird connection to Cincinnati. 627 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: And we learned that Nancy Guthrie, the eighty fourth of 628 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: the mother of Savannahuthrie, I from MDC News, as they noted, 629 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: d in academy graduate so as roots here in the 630 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: Tri State, which makes the story have a bitle of 631 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: a local feel to it, if you will. But it 632 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: is certainly bizarre. We'll get into that after eleven o'clock 633 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: this morning on the Scotslan Show on seven hundred Wow. 634 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: Here's the story that I did not get a chance 635 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: to talk about the other day. And it's fascinating me 636 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: because you tend to focus on the wrong thing. So 637 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: we had a I got a space where I think 638 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: a couple college students that you see broke in the 639 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: fifth third and arena and tried to steal some alcohol. 640 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: Makes sense, college students, and then you have a dude 641 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: breaking into pay course stadium attempting to steal merchandise and 642 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 1: food forty two to Antonio. Churchill arrested Sunday after he 643 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: was caught on security camera breaking in the pay corps. 644 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: He forcefully opened the door into the stadium and walked 645 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 1: through the stadium until he was stopped by officers, responding, 646 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: he's charged with breaking an entry. It's like, Wow, the 647 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: guy's in the pay corps in February stealing stuff, and yeah, 648 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: it's going to be in jail. He's he's locked up 649 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: right now. As a matter of fact, I think the 650 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: bigger question to me would be he was stealing merchandise. Okay, 651 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 1: there's a merchant and food. The Bengals season ended in 652 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,479 Speaker 1: December and they're not going to open things back up 653 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: in the stadium till August. Is the real crime this 654 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: guy breaking in? Or is the real crime? Wait a minute, 655 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: there's food sitting.

How 679 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: about you coming up next to the show. I'm seven 680 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: hundred WLW. You may have heard this story. Ohio Representative 681 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 1: Adam Byrd from right here in Middletown is wanting a 682 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: ban on this name, image and likeness thing for high 683 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: school students. And this is quickly coming to a head 684 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: in Columbus and it begs a whole bunch of quat question, 685 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: is okay? Well, how prevalent by the way are these 686 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: high school deals and do we need to ban it? 687 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: How many people are being affected by this whole thing? 688 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: And I also contend speaking of the Constitution, now it's 689 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: your name, image and likeness. If you can make money 690 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: off it, it's America. You should be able to do that, 691 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 1: regardless of what the state of allegedly amateur athletics is. 692 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: We'll getting to Adam Bird's head about that coming up, 693 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: and just minutes here, quick time out. More to follow 694 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: on the Home of the Red seven hundred WT. Since 695 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 1: now here we go it Scott's flowing back on seven 696 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: hundred W all that, but just how much you get 697 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: through this, sour Julie Balki. A little bit later on 698 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: our curs Shirpo will get into the Nancy Guthrie abduction 699 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 1: and thoughts on that coming up first, though, Ohio high 700 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: school athletes were allowed to accept nil deal since November. 701 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: That's when the Ohio High School Athletic Association responded to 702 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,560 Speaker 1: a lawsuit from a jamiir Bron who is an OSU 703 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,479 Speaker 1: commit and they saw the writing on the wall one 704 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: I don't think we can win this, and so we'll 705 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 1: give in and we'll allow name, image, and likeness deals 706 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: as we do in college. For high school students. We 707 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 1: had a new bill out that would ban anil deals 708 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,120 Speaker 1: less than a year before they started. One of the 709 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: people who are co sponsoring this is our buddy representative 710 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: Adam bird the Birdman out of New Richmond and Claremont County. 711 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 3: How are you, hey, Scott. It's great to be with 712 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 3: you and looking forward to seeing what we can do 713 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 3: to protect our students in Ohio from what is happening 714 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 3: in college. 715 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, we saw what's unravelly college and some may say, well, 716 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 1: you know, let's go back to the way it used 717 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:34,759 Speaker 1: to be. I don't think you could put the two 718 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,839 Speaker 1: space back in the tube, but it comes a little 719 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 1: bit different in reality. How many kids in high school 720 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 1: high schools is this going to impact? Really, it's not 721 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: that many, is it, And therefore, if that's true, why 722 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: don't we need to roll this back? 723 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no way to know how many this effects because, 724 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 3: as you mentioned just a second ago, it's only been 725 00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 3: in effect for a couple of months, and so I 726 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,320 Speaker 3: do believe that this is going to unravel, and I 727 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 3: don't think that we can allow the stand for the 728 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 3: for the benefit and protection of our young people. 729 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,920 Speaker 1: Okay, so what is it you're trying to protect them 730 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: from exactly explain? 731 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,759 Speaker 3: Well, that's yes, and so you know, I believe that 732 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 3: athletics and high school are an extension of the classroom. 733 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 3: They're co curricular activity that is responsible for helping to 734 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 3: teach students about character and discipline and work ethic and 735 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 3: communication skills and all of those things, and fitness. And 736 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 3: so that's the reason why we provide these opportunities for 737 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,680 Speaker 3: our young people. It's not about how much money that 738 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 3: they can make, and that that kind of situation will 739 00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 3: destroy amateur athletics and the good things that we've got 740 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 3: going on in high school. 741 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 1: Right now, I'll push back on that, goough, both of 742 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: those can exist at the same time, can't that. I mean, 743 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: we can put an emphasis on the classroom and character 744 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: and discipline, and probably even more so if money is involved. 745 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: And it's not gonna be a lot of money for 746 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: most of these kids. It's gonna be a little bit 747 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,760 Speaker 1: of money save maybe a couple athletes along the lines 748 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: that are so good at what they do and are 749 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: so coveted by colleges and professionals sports teams that they're 750 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 1: going to get some money throwing them, no doubt about. 751 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 1: But the bulk of kids just simply are looking for 752 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: something to do extracurricularly. This wouldn't affect them at all. 753 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: But for those few that would re benefit from the 754 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: NIL deal, how does this go against what you mentioned 755 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 1: in the learning And it doesn't to me, It doesn't 756 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 1: change it at them. 757 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 3: Well, you know, if you're going to have certain kids 758 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 3: on the team that are benefiting and others that are not, 759 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:36,040 Speaker 3: you're going to degrade the team work like atmosphere that 760 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 3: exists in amateur sports that have a team approach, like football, 761 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 3: like basketball. And it's important that we protect what we've 762 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 3: got right now. And then the other thing that I 763 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 3: would say, Scott, is this will turn into a recruiting situation, 764 00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 3: a recruiting war where let's say a wealthy alumni of 765 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 3: a certain school that has a business wants to sign 766 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 3: a student to an NIL deal and on the on 767 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 3: the presumption that you will transfer to the school of 768 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 3: my choosing, and and so that's going to happen. 769 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,320 Speaker 2: It's it's it's. 770 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:19,120 Speaker 3: Virtually unavoidable at this point. And so when the school 771 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 3: is not allowed to know about this, we don't they're 772 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 3: not going to create collectives like they do at the 773 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 3: college level, and so the coach is not going to 774 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 3: supposedly know about it, the athletic director, the school administrator 775 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,560 Speaker 3: is not going to know about it, and so they're 776 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 3: going to have a hands on approach. You're going to 777 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,919 Speaker 3: have a I believe, a recruiting war based on who 778 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 3: has alumni that are wealthy enough to affect who attends 779 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 3: what school. 780 00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: But isn't that going on now? 781 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 2: How? 782 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 1: I remember stories when I went to high school and 783 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: presumably you as well. What they're schools right now. I 784 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: won't name anybody in particular, but their schools now tend 785 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: to be more private and Christian. But they do this now. Well, 786 00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: they'll take, you know, bring the family in, they recruit 787 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 1: an athlete and they'll put them up for free, like 788 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: like in housing. And so it's going on now. 789 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 3: Well, I agree there is recruiting going on now, and 790 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 3: yet it's not supposed to happen, and it's supposed to 791 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 3: be investigated by OHSAA. I don't think that they can 792 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 3: handle it. It's beyond their stripe and so this will 793 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 3: just make it worse, It will exacerbate it, and there 794 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,760 Speaker 3: will be a recruiting war to create all star teams 795 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 3: based on who has wealthy alumni that are willing to 796 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 3: take their school down that path. And I just think 797 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 3: we see how this has ruined college athletics, and it's 798 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 3: going to have the same impact at high school. 799 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if it ruined it. What we're 800 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:41,759 Speaker 1: in flux right now. I think that's the thing. And 801 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 1: what's college and athletics look like in five or ten 802 00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 1: years will be the question. We don't know, because it's again, 803 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 1: it's changing so quickly before eyes. It seems like it's 804 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: broken right now, but it may not be ultimately. If 805 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,280 Speaker 1: you're a student or the parents of a student, shouldn't 806 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 1: you be able to profit off someone's namage? And like 807 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: the why? Why why is the money? Why is it 808 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: a bad thing? I mean, I guess the team unity 809 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: and things, but you know, let's face it, we have 810 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: we have kids who are poor playing sports with kids 811 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 1: who are rich and kids you know have you know, 812 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars cars and the other kids got to 813 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 1: walk to practice. So we already have that disparity. That's 814 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 1: nothing new. 815 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not opposed to kids making money off of 816 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 3: their ability. But if they want to do that, they 817 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,439 Speaker 3: ought to go to the Olympics, they have to join 818 00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 3: a professional tour. They ought to go go get enrolled 819 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 3: in college early and get college in IL money. But 820 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 3: we want to protect what has been a pure amateur 821 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 3: situation in Ohio high school. And and you know that's 822 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,400 Speaker 3: you see what it's happening. Like, let's use the University 823 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 3: of Cincinnati Bearcat quarterback who just transferred to I think 824 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 3: it was Texas Tech. He didn't transfer for a better 825 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 3: educational opportunity or a better major. He transferred because that 826 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,600 Speaker 3: other school was willing to offer him five million dollars 827 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 3: And he's going to make more next year than the 828 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,840 Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns starting quarterback over his entire five year contracts. 829 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:02,439 Speaker 3: And this is this is to just continue to take 830 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 3: us down the wrong path. 831 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: Well should we be celebrating? I mean I look at 832 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: that and go wow, good for that kid. That's like 833 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: getting a full ride scholarship to Harvard I suppose. And 834 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 1: the educational side of this thing, and we don't look 835 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 1: at that going oh, grey, well, this kid's doing really well. 836 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,320 Speaker 1: Or you know they're there kids that win science fairs 837 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,839 Speaker 1: and the company goes and buys their ideas. We celebrate that. 838 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 1: I don't distinct make that much potential in that and 839 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 1: what's going on in sports. 840 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:30,800 Speaker 3: I guess, well, I guess we may have to disagree 841 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,279 Speaker 3: on that, Scott, because I believe that we need to 842 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 3: protect our students from agents. We need to protect our 843 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 3: students from tax advisors. We need to protect our students 844 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 3: just like we do in child labor laws. We protect them. 845 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 3: And this is the people are going to come after them. 846 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,399 Speaker 3: They're not ready psychologically or mentally to handle this kind 847 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,280 Speaker 3: of pressure. We've seen how over the last a couple 848 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 3: of decades it's the number of suicide among college athletes 849 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 3: is doubled. And so we need to protect them from 850 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 3: this kind of pressure, protect them from becoming some kind 851 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 3: of influencer, and they should be there to learn and 852 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:06,760 Speaker 3: grow and not to earn an income. 853 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: Represent of Adam Bird out of Clement County of the 854 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,600 Speaker 1: show proposing to stop nil for high school athletes here 855 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,840 Speaker 1: in the Buckey States, CO sponsored that piece of legislation. 856 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 1: You know, I look at this and okay, name age 857 00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: in life. I don't know how much your typical high 858 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: school athlete's going to get, if anything, it could be 859 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,360 Speaker 1: like fifty bucks or something like that, because most schools 860 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,799 Speaker 1: in Ohio are rural and maybe I don't know, there's 861 00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: a local oil change place goes okay, fine, we'll give you. 862 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: I don't give you like one hundred bucks a month. 863 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,280 Speaker 1: It's that that big a concern because I would dig typically. 864 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned the outliers, the kids making millions 865 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: of dollars, which are it's extremely rare. But if a 866 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 1: kid does get one of these things, it's only going 867 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 1: to be for a little bit of money. Anyway. Is 868 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 1: this a you know, killing an aunt with a sledgehammer? 869 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think. I mean, you made some assumptions there, 870 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 3: and I'm I'm going to push back on you a 871 00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 3: little bit. I don't think that you can just assume 872 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 3: that it's going to be fifty dollars. I don't think 873 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,760 Speaker 3: that you can assume that's going to happen in rural areas. 874 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,600 Speaker 3: I think the rich will get richer so to speak, 875 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 3: when it comes to talent at certain schools. And you know, 876 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,479 Speaker 3: it should not become a bidding war, a recruiting war 877 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,280 Speaker 3: based on money. It should be about, you know, where 878 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 3: it's the best educational choice. Option for my child so 879 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 3: they can grow and be ready to contribute to society. 880 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 3: And so we're trying to protect the children. We're trying 881 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 3: to protect the school opportunity, and we don't want this 882 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 3: to become a recruiting war based on money, the way 883 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 3: it's happened in college. 884 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think too, it's already become that. And if 885 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,319 Speaker 1: you're to go back, I think the problem is mom 886 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:40,399 Speaker 1: and dad have leaned into this themselves in a sense. 887 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: Is that okay, in banning the n will be one thing, 888 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,280 Speaker 1: but to really address the root costs of the problem. 889 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: And you said, you know this is about amateur sports. 890 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,359 Speaker 1: I don't know how amateur it is. When you have 891 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 1: you know, trainers and coaches and agents and you're not 892 00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 1: you can't ban that. The competition from you know, youth 893 00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: on to get in a travel league, to get in 894 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,760 Speaker 1: this to are pushed to have a calling to play 895 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: a particular sport or sports. And of course, the more 896 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: mom and dad invest in their athletic career, the more 897 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 1: that they see as at stake. And a lot of 898 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,239 Speaker 1: parents think wrongly so that their kid's going to get 899 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 1: a college scholarship and go play professional sports when odds 900 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,000 Speaker 1: are you know, very very much against Rocky Boyman could 901 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,760 Speaker 1: talk about how hard that is here on seven hundred 902 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 1: WW this afternoon, But I look at it and go, well, 903 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 1: you know, if this is about the semantics of education 904 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,399 Speaker 1: putting that first, didn't mom and dad throw that out 905 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,359 Speaker 1: the window a long time ago? 906 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,480 Speaker 3: Well, there's no doubt that mom and dad are spending 907 00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,880 Speaker 3: a lot of money on their children's travel team. And 908 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,400 Speaker 3: you know, if you're going to add in there and 909 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,920 Speaker 3: a presumption now that mom and dad are investing all 910 00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,800 Speaker 3: of this money in your travel team and your travel 911 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 3: opportunity right that now you're going to help reimburse mom 912 00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,240 Speaker 3: and dad based on what you might be able to earn. 913 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 3: I think that's tremendous pressure on a young person that 914 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 3: we don't want. 915 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 1: And again, but it's happening. I know it's happening right now. 916 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,239 Speaker 3: Well, no, and IL is not happening right now. Kids 917 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 3: are not getting paid right now. And OSSCA would like 918 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 3: to take us down this path. And may I remind 919 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 3: you Scott that they are only doing this because one 920 00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,359 Speaker 3: judge in Hamilton County issued or ruling and so they 921 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 3: made a change. And I don't think that we should 922 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,760 Speaker 3: take the entire state of Ohio down this path because 923 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 3: one judge and Franklin County made this decision, and I 924 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,840 Speaker 3: believe that this is an important enough issue that the 925 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,360 Speaker 3: state legislator should weigh in on this. And if my 926 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 3: colleagues decides that I'm wrong, then at least we considered it. 927 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's fair. 928 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 5: No. 929 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 1: I mentioned it's happening now in the sense that you know, 930 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 1: their schools even before this NIL deal was struck, that 931 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: we're essentially paying the parents to come move here and 932 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 1: stay of getting their district and go to school academies 933 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,040 Speaker 1: and things like that. I mean, it is happening now. 934 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 1: It's also happening that you know, there's tremendous pressure for kids, 935 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,239 Speaker 1: not just in the athletics, but especially academics, as you mentioned, 936 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,560 Speaker 1: where kids a suicide rate and the mental health issues 937 00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 1: among college students out of all time high, simply because 938 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 1: of that pressure that's put on them by people in 939 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 1: there inner circle name their own families. I don't know 940 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 1: if NAL's it probably will contribute to that somewhat, but 941 00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 1: that's already the reality for a lot of college students. 942 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,359 Speaker 1: Whether there's student athletes or not. 943 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 3: Well, there's there's scientific data out there that show that 944 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:19,000 Speaker 3: college athletes are committing suicide at double the rate that 945 00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 3: they work twenty five years. Again, that is a scientific fact. 946 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,480 Speaker 3: And we are putting tremendous pressure on these people at 947 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 3: age nineteen, twenty twenty one. And I don't think that 948 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,280 Speaker 3: we should do that to fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen year olds. 949 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 3: And we're trying to protect our children from people who 950 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 3: want to come down and take advantage of them based 951 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,839 Speaker 3: on their athletic skills. And we need to protect our 952 00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 3: kids from these kinds of people that want to come 953 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,440 Speaker 3: in and take advantage of them. 954 00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and okay, it's double where it was, but the 955 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 1: suicide rates for college students who aren't student athletes are 956 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,080 Speaker 1: paced up there. It went up like something like sixty 957 00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,719 Speaker 1: percent over the last twenty years. That's increasing at the 958 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 1: same ratio. And so it's not student athletes. It's all 959 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 1: college students, and that is because of the tremendous pressure 960 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 1: we put on college students, not let alone those who 961 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 1: are student athletes. It's all college models. The problem is 962 00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 1: that we think the way to you know, having a 963 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,319 Speaker 1: perfect life is to go to college. We know that's 964 00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 1: that true. We're starting to rethink those whole things. It's about, 965 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,600 Speaker 1: you know, the person themselves, as opposed to the degree 966 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:22,360 Speaker 1: that you're having on the wall. We've overvalued college education 967 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,400 Speaker 1: and we're starting to see that come back down, and 968 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: I think the athletic part certainly fits into that. I 969 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:26,680 Speaker 1: agree with you. 970 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:32,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know this bill is about returning the 971 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 3: the OHSAA amateur status law to what it used to be. 972 00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 3: I don't want to micromanage OHSAA. I don't want to 973 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 3: oversee their every move, but I do think that we 974 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 3: need to say no, we're going to move backwards. And 975 00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 3: I might remind you to Scott that we have done 976 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,879 Speaker 3: this twice in the past when it comes to transcender 977 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,920 Speaker 3: eligibility and the state legislature said no, we're going to 978 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 3: protect our girls. We also said no to OAHSAA a 979 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 3: couple of years ago on the issue cash when you 980 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 3: attend the game, and we require them to accept cash 981 00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:04,920 Speaker 3: when you. 982 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:05,480 Speaker 2: Want to enter. 983 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 1: Isn't this going to create a black market again? I 984 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 1: mean it existed before. There's schools out there that were 985 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 1: doing this long before. Nil Adam Bird that we're recruiting 986 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,720 Speaker 1: kids from different districts or held different states of that matter, 987 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,880 Speaker 1: finding jobs for mom and or dad, putting up at places, 988 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 1: and essentially they're getting de facto payment, maybe not cash, 989 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,759 Speaker 1: and maybe some walking around money from the booster's life 990 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,320 Speaker 1: for very powerful schools, not necessarily public schools, private schools. 991 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:33,719 Speaker 1: How would that apply to the how to fix it? 992 00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 1: Wouldn't this just create a black market? They just go 993 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 1: back to the way they've voiced done it, and then 994 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,280 Speaker 1: you still have. 995 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know that there's there's been that kind 996 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 3: of situation. Maybe there has and I'm not been aware 997 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 3: of it. Lady mom or dad. Yeah, so you know, 998 00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 3: I don't think that we should I don't think that 999 00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:55,320 Speaker 3: we should add to that. Again, this is about protecting 1000 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,399 Speaker 3: our kids from a situation that they're not prepared for. 1001 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 3: You we're talking about teenagers here. They're talking about teenagers 1002 00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 3: that's going to need a tax advisor, They're going to 1003 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,680 Speaker 3: need an agent, they're going to be entering into contracts, 1004 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,239 Speaker 3: and you've got to be careful about protecting our young 1005 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 3: people from the people that want to take advantage of them. 1006 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,480 Speaker 1: Now, well, I think they also get some if they're 1007 00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,359 Speaker 1: getting big money, they're getting some of those too. It's 1008 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 1: not like they're complete victims. Well, I mean the composition's 1009 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:23,399 Speaker 1: pretty good. 1010 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 3: I want to do that if you want. If you're 1011 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,759 Speaker 3: so uber talented that you're capable of taking advantage of 1012 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 3: the athletic giftedness, then you need to go to the Olympics. 1013 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,279 Speaker 3: You need to go to a tour, a professional tour. 1014 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,400 Speaker 3: You need to go to college early and go Aaron College. 1015 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,840 Speaker 2: And I owe money. 1016 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,400 Speaker 1: You mentioned the protection thing, so doesn't that I mentioned 1017 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: the model that existed for a long time where at 1018 00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,879 Speaker 1: private schools that they do this. I don't know how 1019 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:49,359 Speaker 1: how often it does, but it still has happening right 1020 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,239 Speaker 1: now as a matter of fact, where you have, you know, 1021 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 1: kids recruited from other areas to move back to the 1022 00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,279 Speaker 1: district in order to play for their team, and then 1023 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 1: of course the family winklink is taken care of. How 1024 00:48:58,600 --> 00:48:59,560 Speaker 1: would this protect them? 1025 00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean you point out that recruiting is 1026 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,960 Speaker 3: happening today and yet OHSAA deems that are legal, and 1027 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 3: so recruiting happens anyway. And I don't think that they're 1028 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,719 Speaker 3: going to be able to police the situation that they're 1029 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,120 Speaker 3: putting in place here, and they're not going to be 1030 00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,359 Speaker 3: able to investigate all of that. You're going to put 1031 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 3: You're going to put now a burden upon the school administrator, 1032 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 3: the athletic director of the coach to help police this, 1033 00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:30,040 Speaker 3: to make it to inform OHSAA on these kinds of things. 1034 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,840 Speaker 3: And I just we're opening a can of worms that 1035 00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,560 Speaker 3: I don't think is the reason why the public tax 1036 00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:41,960 Speaker 3: payer pays or weight rooms, stadiums, gymnasiums so that they 1037 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:44,200 Speaker 3: can have an extension of the classroom. And now we're 1038 00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,719 Speaker 3: going to allow people to take advantage of these young 1039 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 3: children that well they're not young children, but they you know, 1040 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,760 Speaker 3: they're not of age, and take advantage of them based 1041 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,359 Speaker 3: on facilities that have been sent by the text player. 1042 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:02,400 Speaker 1: Adam final point is is this a nanny state issue? 1043 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 1: Does this feels like nanny state to me? 1044 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 3: Well, I think we have a duty. Okay, we have 1045 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:15,320 Speaker 3: a duty and responsibility as a government to protect our children. 1046 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 3: And we've got people that want to use the situation 1047 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,160 Speaker 3: to take advantage. 1048 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 1: But my point is if the parents are okay and 1049 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:23,839 Speaker 1: they lean into this, going wow, I've got the next 1050 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,040 Speaker 1: year borrow here, we can get some money, Well, how 1051 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 1: is it? Why is it the state's obligation to protect 1052 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:30,920 Speaker 1: that child from their own family. 1053 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, we do this all the time. And you know, 1054 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,160 Speaker 3: we can talk about multiple examples of how we try 1055 00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:42,200 Speaker 3: to protect children and and so you know, it's again, 1056 00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,839 Speaker 3: they're not emotionally stable, they're not ready for the kinds 1057 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 3: of pressure that we're going to place upon them. And 1058 00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,799 Speaker 3: we want to protect the reason that we created these 1059 00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,440 Speaker 3: athletics in a first place, which is an extension of 1060 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 3: the classroom. It's not it should not be, I believe, 1061 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,680 Speaker 3: and I hope to convince my college league that it 1062 00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,920 Speaker 3: should not be about allowing these young people to be 1063 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:08,120 Speaker 3: preyed upon. We went and protect them and preserve what 1064 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:09,040 Speaker 3: we've had in the past. 1065 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,640 Speaker 1: Are you hearing a lot from constituents supporting it or 1066 00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:12,680 Speaker 1: is it just simply too early? 1067 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:18,920 Speaker 3: You know, mostly I think people constituents are listening and learning. 1068 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:24,160 Speaker 3: But who I'm hearing mostly from our school administrators and 1069 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:28,240 Speaker 3: coaches who are very much opposed to this. And remember 1070 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 3: that there were a couple of hundred schools who have 1071 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 3: stained from this vote. They did not want to go 1072 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,120 Speaker 3: down this vote. Others have told me that they didn't 1073 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,040 Speaker 3: want to vote yes, but they voted yes because they 1074 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,439 Speaker 3: felt strong armed by OHSAA. So most of the people 1075 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,960 Speaker 3: that I'm hearing from are those that are actually in 1076 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:43,760 Speaker 3: the school community. 1077 00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:45,920 Speaker 1: Now they're worried about this Jimy Brown laws that's going Hey, 1078 00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 1: you know, win in violation of that. It's going to 1079 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,520 Speaker 1: cost us a lot more money. We just acquiesced, even 1080 00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,440 Speaker 1: though we think it's wrong. But no, I'm interested to 1081 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,399 Speaker 1: see Adam how this thing plays out.

Yeah, I'm not convinced 1088 00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:15,080 Speaker 1: this is this is the remedy. But anyway, quick time out. 1089 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 1: We got a news update, very latest with weather moving 1090 00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,160 Speaker 1: in yet again.

How are you good, lying? 1096 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:41,520 Speaker 4: I am fantastic good. 1097 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,800 Speaker 1: We've often talked in the past about well, for example, 1098 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,279 Speaker 1: the CEO and the CFO that we're you know, at 1099 00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,239 Speaker 1: the at the at the concert and then they were 1100 00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,480 Speaker 1: banging and they got probably got fire. They had resigned. 1101 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 1: It was a big ugly thing. And also we've had 1102 00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:56,759 Speaker 1: people posting stuff on social media that's gotten them fired. 1103 00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:58,880 Speaker 1: We know the boundaries there. There's a local case here. 1104 00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit different though. This guy's 1105 00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 1: a mail carry out of Fairfield. Jason Thompson has been 1106 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,520 Speaker 1: a mail care for more than two decades. They put 1107 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,520 Speaker 1: him on leave after the last big snowstorm because he 1108 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 1: posted his frustrations on Facebook about working in conditions that 1109 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,560 Speaker 1: were not optimal, and they said, hey, they showed up. 1110 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:17,880 Speaker 1: They're no trucks, there's nothing to deliver. But they wanted 1111 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:21,439 Speaker 1: us to dig out our trucks by hand without any 1112 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,000 Speaker 1: equipment to do so. I'm sixty years old. I'm not 1113 00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:25,879 Speaker 1: in the best shape, you know, I'm sixty. Everything hurts 1114 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,960 Speaker 1: at this age. I get you. They plowed a lot, 1115 00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,759 Speaker 1: but pushed all the snow up against the trucks they 1116 00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,239 Speaker 1: were supposed to dig this alid by hand. And he 1117 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 1: complained about this on Facebook during this level two snow 1118 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,480 Speaker 1: emergency that we had, and the end result is the 1119 00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,919 Speaker 1: postal Service pulled him off the job for a little 1120 00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:41,719 Speaker 1: bit of time, I think a few hours anyway, before 1121 00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,840 Speaker 1: the union got involved. But you know, this feels like 1122 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 1: a whistleblower thing to me as opposed to an actual, 1123 00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,279 Speaker 1: you know, doing something stupid on social media. How does 1124 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,200 Speaker 1: this work in the real world in the workplace. 1125 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, so we've talked to I think we've referenced this, 1126 00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:59,759 Speaker 4: but there is there are so many cases winding their 1127 00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 4: way through the system right now of people who were 1128 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:08,960 Speaker 4: fired for posts on their private social media and the 1129 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,319 Speaker 4: courts were you know, it is.

And you know, I 1133 00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 4: can give you points on both sides as why it's 1134 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,640 Speaker 4: from or why it's right, but in this case, it's 1135 00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:30,800 Speaker 4: interesting he simply posted this is unsafe, this is dangerous, 1136 00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:33,879 Speaker 4: this is unsafe, and you know, like you said, they 1137 00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,319 Speaker 4: they put them on leave for a few hours. Then 1138 00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:41,440 Speaker 4: the union got involved, or the post office realized, oops, 1139 00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:42,960 Speaker 4: you know, we're not going to win in the court 1140 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 4: of public opinion here, or we don't have a leg 1141 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,520 Speaker 4: to stand on, and so we need we need to 1142 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,359 Speaker 4: put the genie back in the bottle if we can. 1143 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 4: And you know, if I was thinking about this, can 1144 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:58,360 Speaker 4: you know this whole rain or sleet or even snow 1145 00:54:59,160 --> 00:54:59,600 Speaker 4: that we. 1146 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:00,920 Speaker 1: That's not true anymore? 1147 00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:07,279 Speaker 4: What are so used to looking outside and the mailman's 1148 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,120 Speaker 4: trudging through two or three feet of snow, And but 1149 00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:12,120 Speaker 4: I start thinking about the mail I get in my 1150 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 4: mailbox every day because so much is available online. I'm 1151 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 4: not gonna I'm not going to miss the flyer for 1152 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 4: a window replace if it doesn't deliver for a day 1153 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:23,879 Speaker 4: or two. 1154 00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, a couple of generations ago. You go 1155 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,520 Speaker 1: to the mailbox, Oh, I got bills, I got a 1156 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,280 Speaker 1: I got two dollars from Aunt Dorothy for my birthday. 1157 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,840 Speaker 1: I got that doesn't happy give out to the mailbox. 1158 00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,880 Speaker 1: It's depressing because ninety nine percent of its trash and 1159 00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,160 Speaker 1: the other they are bills. Like, I don't want to 1160 00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,520 Speaker 1: go to my mailbox anyways. It's a box of depression. 1161 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:45,160 Speaker 4: Julie, but you know, like you said, us be the 1162 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 4: highlight of the day. I remember we used to get 1163 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:48,680 Speaker 4: when I was grown up. We got the newspaper in 1164 00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,200 Speaker 4: the morning and the newspaper in the evening, and like 1165 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,319 Speaker 4: so much had changed during the day, but it was 1166 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 4: like we would go oud look for it because it 1167 00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 4: was our only source, the only way we got bills. 1168 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,760 Speaker 4: We got that card from Aunt Martha, and we understood 1169 00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 4: what was happening. And so the world has changed so much, 1170 00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:09,799 Speaker 4: and I understand that that, especially if you're older, you 1171 00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,080 Speaker 4: still may as I am, but I don't. I get 1172 00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 4: most everything online, and I get that service from the 1173 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 4: post office, which is wonderful that tells you what's coming 1174 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,160 Speaker 4: in your mail and so you can see it online 1175 00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,600 Speaker 4: what's coming before it shows up. So the world has 1176 00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:27,040 Speaker 4: changed in terms of how we get information, and so 1177 00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,759 Speaker 4: I think it's time as we look at this what 1178 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,000 Speaker 4: makes sense. It's not what makes sense in terms of 1179 00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:37,480 Speaker 4: employee safety. What makes sense in terms of you know, 1180 00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:41,280 Speaker 4: what the people expect, And there's very little we can't 1181 00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,640 Speaker 4: live a day without, especially when we get so much 1182 00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,800 Speaker 4: paperless anymore. So I think it's you know, in this space, 1183 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:51,480 Speaker 4: I'm like, come on, the guy expressed his opinion, his opinion, 1184 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,240 Speaker 4: and I think clearly they looked at it and said, Okay, 1185 00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,400 Speaker 4: you know we're not going to win here, because if 1186 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 4: you're being asked to dig your time out by hand 1187 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:06,319 Speaker 4: give to take people their advertisements, there's something I think 1188 00:57:06,360 --> 00:57:09,160 Speaker 4: they need to purse my personal opinions. They need to 1189 00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:12,879 Speaker 4: step back and take a look at what are the expectations. 1190 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:14,759 Speaker 4: I know there's been talk about limiting the mail to 1191 00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:16,640 Speaker 4: three days a week. You know, all those sort of 1192 00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,920 Speaker 4: things have been talked about, and we will get there someday. 1193 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,560 Speaker 4: But I think when you look at your people and 1194 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:27,000 Speaker 4: clearly they have a union for this, that's reasonable. You know, 1195 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,080 Speaker 4: if the whole town is shut down, if Kroger is 1196 00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:33,000 Speaker 4: shut down, I think we've got to look at reasonableness 1197 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:38,000 Speaker 4: instead of standing on this rain, sleep, snow, hurricane. You 1198 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 4: know you will get your advertising. 1199 00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:41,840 Speaker 1: I don't think, honestly, I don't think that's the way. 1200 00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,560 Speaker 1: I mean, moneys don't. We didn't get mail at our house, 1201 00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:48,040 Speaker 1: A mailman didn't, and a jeep I don't think that. 1202 00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 1: I think that hole in the rain are still seats now. 1203 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:52,120 Speaker 1: I think it's like if we get you most days 1204 00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:53,720 Speaker 1: of the week. We're good. I think I think the 1205 00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:54,640 Speaker 1: model's changed. 1206 00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:57,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and not. 1207 00:57:57,880 --> 00:57:59,920 Speaker 1: Only that's I'll point out to Julie in this case, 1208 00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 1: he said, there are no trucks coming to drop stuff up. 1209 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:04,480 Speaker 1: We had nothing to deliver. They're just making us clean 1210 00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,080 Speaker 1: our trucks out, to clean our trucks out. 1211 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'm sure it was. Well, we're 1212 00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 4: paying you, we're going to have you do something right. Well, Susan, 1213 00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:17,040 Speaker 4: what case is leadership or whatever you want to call it, 1214 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:20,840 Speaker 4: We'll just call it loosely leadership of organizations. And the 1215 00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 4: more you know, it's a government organization, right, and so 1216 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,040 Speaker 4: there's not generally a lot of agility or a lot 1217 00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:33,520 Speaker 4: of thinking around is what we're doing still makes sense. 1218 00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,120 Speaker 4: And believe it is not just government organizations. It is many, many, 1219 00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,600 Speaker 4: many that are really stuck in this is the way 1220 00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:44,240 Speaker 4: we've always done it. And that is that's really dangerous 1221 00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,480 Speaker 4: because you can't. You've got to keep up. Whether you 1222 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,600 Speaker 4: agree or not with what's going on in the world, 1223 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:51,640 Speaker 4: you have to keep up if you expect to attract 1224 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 4: and retake retain good people. And this generation, these people 1225 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,480 Speaker 4: you're trying to attract to take on these mail routes. 1226 00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:00,000 Speaker 3: They're not going to do that. 1227 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,320 Speaker 4: And again, rin your hands, clutch your hurls. But you 1228 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 4: can't argue against what is. And so what can you 1229 00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:09,960 Speaker 4: do to change your environment, change the culture, change the expectations. 1230 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:12,840 Speaker 4: And if you are in a situation where it is 1231 00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,600 Speaker 4: a real disaster for you if you miss your mail 1232 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 4: for one day. You have someone who's who's pretty adept 1233 00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:22,040 Speaker 4: at technology, have them help you learn how to do 1234 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:26,720 Speaker 4: things online, do things paperless. Right, It's I mean, it's yeah, 1235 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,280 Speaker 4: there's a little bit of a learning curve if you're 1236 00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:32,120 Speaker 4: not used to that, but it's going to reduce the anxiety. 1237 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:34,360 Speaker 4: And people are even send your birthday cards by my 1238 00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 4: text now. 1239 00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,280 Speaker 1: So right, you just get a text happy Birthday with 1240 00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,040 Speaker 1: some emojis. Good enough, She Julie Balki Our career Sure 1241 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:42,040 Speaker 1: up every Wednesday morning on the Scots Slone show. Today 1242 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:45,360 Speaker 1: it's about this Fairfield postal worker that got suspended for 1243 00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,960 Speaker 1: a little bit because he posted pictures of them having 1244 00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 1: to digular on trucks of a lot and so that 1245 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,760 Speaker 1: we don't do that. It's like and I'm older and 1246 00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:54,360 Speaker 1: it's like they didn't give us any shovels and the 1247 00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,440 Speaker 1: snow is really high and we're not delivering stuff anyway. 1248 00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,000 Speaker 1: With that was the plant of this because he saw 1249 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,560 Speaker 1: it as a safety issue. Is that the distinction here? 1250 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:04,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you post, you bleep, post stuff about your employer, 1251 01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,480 Speaker 1: You're probably going to get talked to. You make it 1252 01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,720 Speaker 1: yelled at, you make get suspended, you might get fired. 1253 01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:11,320 Speaker 1: But if it's a safety issue, is that different. 1254 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:17,080 Speaker 4: I think it's harder to it's harder to make it 1255 01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:21,080 Speaker 4: stand up if you are asking someone to do something 1256 01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:25,160 Speaker 4: that you know that literally they're saying to everyone, stay 1257 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 4: at home, stay off the roads, just just for your safety, 1258 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,400 Speaker 4: you know, don't don't get out there. You have to 1259 01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:32,680 Speaker 4: look at what is what the community at large is 1260 01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:34,840 Speaker 4: being asked to do, what the school's doing where I 1261 01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 4: mean companies were. I mean you have to look at 1262 01:00:39,040 --> 01:00:41,840 Speaker 4: what's reasonable inside of that instead of taking a stand 1263 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,680 Speaker 4: and saying no, you know, get out there and clean 1264 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,720 Speaker 4: off your vehicle. It's I mean, be treat your people 1265 01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,920 Speaker 4: like the humans they are. If you have bad performance 1266 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:54,640 Speaker 4: or bad behavior, that's one thing. But if somebody, if 1267 01:00:54,680 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 4: somebody raises what could reasonably be called a safety issue, 1268 01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:02,880 Speaker 4: I think you have to instead of just responding and 1269 01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,200 Speaker 4: saying you're suspended, you have to step back and say, 1270 01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,920 Speaker 4: you know, so and so raised a good issue. We 1271 01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,080 Speaker 4: you know, will take a step back and look at this, 1272 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,200 Speaker 4: and you know this this I'm I'm a leader, I'm 1273 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,200 Speaker 4: your boss, I know the best, do what I do, 1274 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,880 Speaker 4: what I tell you to do. That style is not 1275 01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:23,000 Speaker 4: working anymore. And again, if you don't like it, sorry, 1276 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,760 Speaker 4: but it's it's just the way it is, and there's 1277 01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:29,480 Speaker 4: got to be some room for flexibility and reasonableness. 1278 01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:31,880 Speaker 1: Now we only know part of the story here too. 1279 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:34,640 Speaker 1: It could very well if that person went to management 1280 01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:35,880 Speaker 1: and said this is well, why are we doing it? 1281 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 1: And that's to shut up and do it anyway, then 1282 01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,800 Speaker 1: that's valid. But if they, instead of complaining, decided to 1283 01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,720 Speaker 1: put pictures up on social media, they may have a 1284 01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,439 Speaker 1: legitimate compliant. Does that change things? 1285 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:52,360 Speaker 4: I mean maybe, because people. 1286 01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 1: Often will jump to social media's for you know all 1287 01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,160 Speaker 1: escalator rightther and going hey, what about the you know, 1288 01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 1: the passive aggressive thing. So many people now are passive 1289 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,320 Speaker 1: aggressed of like, well, why wouldn't you just tell me 1290 01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:04,800 Speaker 1: that this is a problem instead of going and making 1291 01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,040 Speaker 1: a big deal out if you had asked me, I 1292 01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,280 Speaker 1: would go, hey, maybe you're right about what what happened, 1293 01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:10,800 Speaker 1: just you know, communicating communication. We don't know if that 1294 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:12,600 Speaker 1: happen here though, we. 1295 01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:14,880 Speaker 4: Don't know, we don't And I think it's you've got 1296 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:18,560 Speaker 4: to look at this and say this Probably going to 1297 01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,360 Speaker 4: the leadership at the local level and saying this makes 1298 01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,360 Speaker 4: no sense is probably not going to get to anywhere. 1299 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,200 Speaker 4: Let's be honest. I mean, maybe the union as a 1300 01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,640 Speaker 4: whole could take this to the table, into the conversation. 1301 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:34,800 Speaker 4: But we are seeing and this is not always good, 1302 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:39,880 Speaker 4: but we are seeing that public pressure has a really 1303 01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:45,280 Speaker 4: strong impact on companies, on humans, that we're seeing it 1304 01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:49,160 Speaker 4: in every sector of society. And again, you know, it's 1305 01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,920 Speaker 4: sometimes it's so cringey and other times like yeah, I 1306 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,840 Speaker 4: mean once, once your bad behavior was put into the 1307 01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:59,120 Speaker 4: into the spotlight, you had to change your behavior because 1308 01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,120 Speaker 4: you weren't going to do it any other way. So 1309 01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:03,440 Speaker 4: we're seeing that play out in real time in every 1310 01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:07,040 Speaker 4: sector of life. So I'm actually not surprised if they 1311 01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:11,120 Speaker 4: said see you later and then they you know, and 1312 01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,360 Speaker 4: then they said, oops, never mind, come back to work. 1313 01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:17,120 Speaker 4: So this is something that someone has to be the 1314 01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 4: one to surface the problem, and then the power the 1315 01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,800 Speaker 4: people that have the power have to decide or get 1316 01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,640 Speaker 4: to decide. I guess what to do about it. And 1317 01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,040 Speaker 4: they might say go back to work, but don't ever 1318 01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,560 Speaker 4: do that again or you'll get fired. They might say that, 1319 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:34,080 Speaker 4: you know, and but it's social media gives us incredible power, 1320 01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:38,960 Speaker 4: and it's sometimes used for good and it's sometimes not 1321 01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:43,400 Speaker 4: so much. And that's all that's I would say, I'm 1322 01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,280 Speaker 4: so glad it wasn't the thing when I was Wow. 1323 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 1: So it's always changing. That's that's the nature of it. Children. Yeah, 1324 01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,440 Speaker 1: in that regard, I look as go, okay, well, so 1325 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:52,880 Speaker 1: what's the take away from someone working right now? I 1326 01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:54,520 Speaker 1: was like, well, this thing at work? Should I put 1327 01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,840 Speaker 1: something up online? I mean, what, what's what should be 1328 01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:58,320 Speaker 1: the checklist in your mind for stuff like this? 1329 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,200 Speaker 4: If I post this is what I think all the 1330 01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:08,200 Speaker 4: time about what I post. 1331 01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,480 Speaker 3: Okay, what's the worst. 1332 01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,920 Speaker 4: Thing that could happen now when we are in our emotions, 1333 01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,440 Speaker 4: when we are feeling like this is wrong and I 1334 01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:19,320 Speaker 4: got to tell the world about it. If we don't 1335 01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:24,200 Speaker 4: take that extra step to sit back and say, okay, 1336 01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:26,880 Speaker 4: I want to post this. If you're really strongly about it. 1337 01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,360 Speaker 4: What's the worst thing that could happen? In this case, 1338 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 4: he might have said, I could lose my job. Is 1339 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:34,560 Speaker 4: it worth losing my job for? And he might have 1340 01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:37,040 Speaker 4: said heck yes, Or he might've not even had that 1341 01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,400 Speaker 4: extra thought. He might have just an other world needs 1342 01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:44,400 Speaker 4: to know about this. So thinking about the downside before 1343 01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,560 Speaker 4: you post, and then decide, am I okay? Like if 1344 01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:51,280 Speaker 4: you post something and what if this goes What if 1345 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,480 Speaker 4: this goes viral? What if all of a sudden, you know, 1346 01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:57,120 Speaker 4: tens of thousands of people are posting this and coming 1347 01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:59,440 Speaker 4: in and give my giving my business a one star review? 1348 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:00,600 Speaker 6: I live with that. 1349 01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,640 Speaker 4: So you really have to imagine am I always going 1350 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:06,360 Speaker 4: to be proud of what I posted? Am I going 1351 01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:09,080 Speaker 4: to be willing to defend it? And so that we 1352 01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:12,680 Speaker 4: see examples of this everywhere where you think what were 1353 01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:16,160 Speaker 4: you thinking? That goes through my head so many times 1354 01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,920 Speaker 4: a day when I see things people post like what what? 1355 01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:21,640 Speaker 4: What is the thinking here? And a lot of times 1356 01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 4: there isn't any thinking, And the other time maybe there is. 1357 01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:26,800 Speaker 4: And I don't care what people you know, I don't 1358 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,040 Speaker 4: care what kind of backlash I get to. You get 1359 01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,000 Speaker 4: to decide that. But then you have to live with 1360 01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:32,320 Speaker 4: the consequences of what you do. 1361 01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,640 Speaker 1: Is it tend to be more generational because I think, 1362 01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:38,920 Speaker 1: you know, younger people, there is the time my daughter's 1363 01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:41,440 Speaker 1: posted stuff and going take that stupid what are you doing? 1364 01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,160 Speaker 1: You're going to You're not thinking of the implications of this, 1365 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,120 Speaker 1: you know, and you'll go, yeah, yeah, you know, you're right, 1366 01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,120 Speaker 1: Well I feel this way. Well, just because you feel 1367 01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,840 Speaker 1: that way doesn't mean you know, you're employer could look 1368 01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,600 Speaker 1: at this and go, yeah, we got some problems right there. Yeah, 1369 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,560 Speaker 1: you can exercise your First Amendment rights, but it is 1370 01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,200 Speaker 1: not an absolute right that you have. There are limits 1371 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,520 Speaker 1: in your eployer. If it's your employer, you got problems there. 1372 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,320 Speaker 1: On the other hand, you know, we often talk about 1373 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,520 Speaker 1: especially the older workers, and I think you know, when 1374 01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,960 Speaker 1: we start talking about term limits for presidents, be it 1375 01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,160 Speaker 1: you know, seventy or seventy five, whoever it might be, 1376 01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,440 Speaker 1: I think that's a good idea because the older you get, 1377 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,200 Speaker 1: the more out of touch you get with the with 1378 01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:18,440 Speaker 1: the current state of values, and it's always changing. It's 1379 01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:20,360 Speaker 1: never don't give me this, it's the way it used 1380 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 1: to be. It's never going to happen America is always 1381 01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:26,760 Speaker 1: changing for that reason, so as we get older, we 1382 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 1: get less in touch with what the current zeitgeis to 1383 01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,800 Speaker 1: the current fields are, or the the way the direction 1384 01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,439 Speaker 1: the country's headed or or communities headed. That's just natural. 1385 01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:36,320 Speaker 1: It's always happened, happened when we were well, we didn't 1386 01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:38,040 Speaker 1: have this when we were younger. Yeah we did. It 1387 01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,000 Speaker 1: was just it's not as extreme or different than this 1388 01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:43,040 Speaker 1: because our parents and grandparents bitched about how stuff was 1389 01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:44,840 Speaker 1: when they were kids, and then we just looked at 1390 01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:49,000 Speaker 1: them and all, please stop. And it's that's the way 1391 01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:50,720 Speaker 1: we evolve in America. And so I think the same 1392 01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:52,840 Speaker 1: thing is here too, is that. Yeah, maybe younger people 1393 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:54,800 Speaker 1: not thinking about it, But then there's older people that 1394 01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,760 Speaker 1: are putting stuff up there. They are saying things that 1395 01:06:57,800 --> 01:06:59,720 Speaker 1: wind up getting in trouble for because they think this 1396 01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:01,520 Speaker 1: is the way it used to be and it's not anymore. 1397 01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,680 Speaker 1: So I think the two ends of the spectrum are 1398 01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:05,680 Speaker 1: the reality. 1399 01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:09,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know, it's when you get older you 1400 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:13,920 Speaker 4: don't sometimes really understand how it works. How There was 1401 01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,760 Speaker 4: this case, this thing recently that happened a furniture store 1402 01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:17,840 Speaker 4: in Clarkfield, Tennessee. 1403 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:19,600 Speaker 6: The guy's wife. 1404 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:24,520 Speaker 4: Posted something really horrible and like everybody who shows up 1405 01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,000 Speaker 4: to a protest deserves to be shot. I mean it 1406 01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:30,680 Speaker 4: was like it was that that like direct and guess 1407 01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:36,720 Speaker 4: what the backlash against his furniture store, their furniture store, 1408 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,200 Speaker 4: even though it was the wife and I don't know 1409 01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:42,360 Speaker 4: how involved he all, but the backlash was and he 1410 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:45,560 Speaker 4: came out there and tried to quell it. But I'm 1411 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:49,320 Speaker 4: sure I'm sure she's mortified that she's Look, she still 1412 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,920 Speaker 4: may think that way, but I'm sure she's mortified that 1413 01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:53,640 Speaker 4: she posted it and put it out there in public, 1414 01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,240 Speaker 4: because I don't think and these people are probably in 1415 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 4: their fifties, I would guess, so just we don't think 1416 01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:02,560 Speaker 4: about we get so in our own bubble that we 1417 01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:06,760 Speaker 4: don't think about how the person who thinks one hundred 1418 01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:09,400 Speaker 4: and eighty degrees differently than we do, all they might 1419 01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,640 Speaker 4: respond to this, and what the backlash might be. 1420 01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:13,800 Speaker 1: And extremes are I Matt, with extremes, that's the that's 1421 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:15,800 Speaker 1: the probable. And you know what's really weird about that story. 1422 01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,640 Speaker 1: It was in where the Carolinas, I think, and you know, 1423 01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:21,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure the woman's mortified. She canna be more mortified 1424 01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,439 Speaker 1: when she's got to live out of her car because 1425 01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:25,519 Speaker 1: they're gonna close that store. Is there's a furniture store 1426 01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:27,400 Speaker 1: I think in Northern Kentucky or Kentucky that had the 1427 01:08:27,400 --> 01:08:30,200 Speaker 1: same name, and people were dosing that store and guys like, 1428 01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,800 Speaker 1: that's that's not We're not the same company, and I'm 1429 01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:36,040 Speaker 1: not the same guy. And so you know, people just 1430 01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,479 Speaker 1: lob handgrid at each other now without even getting it right. 1431 01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,559 Speaker 1: It's incredible.

Of course, bring this lady back alive. 1453 01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,280 Speaker 1: That's on the way after news on seven hundred WW 1454 01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,040 Speaker 1: since now five thousand dollars that's the average amount of 1455 01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:47,080 Speaker 1: money people in the Scott's loan. This is seven hundred 1456 01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:50,519 Speaker 1: w wel w on this midweek morning, about halfway there. 1457 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,040 Speaker 1: Baby almost made it, almost made it to the tipping point. 1458 01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:57,240 Speaker 1: So much going on in our world, but also this, 1459 01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,080 Speaker 1: this is one of those things that you look at 1460 01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,360 Speaker 1: and it's just a horrible sit situation obviously, but I 1461 01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,280 Speaker 1: think we're all fascinated to some degree by it. And 1462 01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:07,240 Speaker 1: of course talk about the disappearance of Notre Dame Academy 1463 01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,840 Speaker 1: alumni Nancy Guthrie, the mother eighty four year old mother 1464 01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:14,400 Speaker 1: of NBC's Savannah Guthrie. And people I know that work 1465 01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,599 Speaker 1: for NBC who have an after an interactor, they said, 1466 01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:19,920 Speaker 1: she is the real deal, Like Savannah Guthrie is one 1467 01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:24,240 Speaker 1: of the nicest persons, the nicest people in broadcasting. And 1468 01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:26,800 Speaker 1: of course even if you're not, do you deserve your 1469 01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:28,960 Speaker 1: eighty four year old mother to suddenly become missing. I mean, 1470 01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:32,120 Speaker 1: here's Savannah Guthrie is supposedly going to go to Italy 1471 01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,000 Speaker 1: for the Olympics, and now she's not going to be 1472 01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,680 Speaker 1: able to do that because her priorities as such as 1473 01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:38,320 Speaker 1: her mom is missing and she's got to be there 1474 01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:41,280 Speaker 1: for her. So she's in Arizona. The very latest on this, 1475 01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:45,320 Speaker 1: we do know that her Nancy Guthrie's DNA or blood 1476 01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,080 Speaker 1: was found at the scene, namely in the front near 1477 01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:51,080 Speaker 1: the front door. Police do heavy what they think is 1478 01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,000 Speaker 1: a ransom note, but they're not sure it's real. I 1479 01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:56,959 Speaker 1: don't know what that means in evidence, of course, indicating 1480 01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,559 Speaker 1: she was removed against her will, and it's not dementia related. 1481 01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:02,400 Speaker 1: Why said she just simply physically has not been able 1482 01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:05,559 Speaker 1: to walk like fifty yards. But she's sharp as attack mentally, 1483 01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,320 Speaker 1: which we all hope to be at her age. And 1484 01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,320 Speaker 1: of course the narrative about kidnapping comes first and foremost, 1485 01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:15,840 Speaker 1: because that's what it feels and smells like. But it 1486 01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:20,360 Speaker 1: is getting increasingly more common, and I shouldn't say common, 1487 01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:23,400 Speaker 1: that's an exaggeration. But there was a time in America 1488 01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:26,240 Speaker 1: where ransom kidnappings happened all the time. If you go 1489 01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,800 Speaker 1: back to like the nineteen twenties and thirties, it was 1490 01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:34,040 Speaker 1: big back then. And in nineteen thirty two, Charles Lindbergh's 1491 01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:36,840 Speaker 1: baby was kidnapped. I'm sure you know that story. He 1492 01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:39,479 Speaker 1: is twenty months old and was taken later found dead, 1493 01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:45,200 Speaker 1: and Bruno Hopman, of course, was the individual controversially executed 1494 01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,120 Speaker 1: for his abduction and murder, and there's some controversy surrounding 1495 01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:50,679 Speaker 1: that they got the wrong guy. But nonetheless, what happened 1496 01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,439 Speaker 1: in thirty two. Up till thirty two, it happened all 1497 01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:56,640 Speaker 1: the time. People in Cincinnati were getting kidnapped, and not 1498 01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:58,320 Speaker 1: for as much money as you would think, just because 1499 01:11:58,320 --> 01:11:59,840 Speaker 1: they would do it. And so what happened in thirty two, 1500 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,800 Speaker 1: because it gripped the nation, the Feds got involved and 1501 01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:06,000 Speaker 1: they made kidnapping a federal crime, meaning it was in 1502 01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:10,240 Speaker 1: the pervian jurisdiction of the emerging FBI and now you 1503 01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,920 Speaker 1: have federal resources behind you. And the penalties were increased 1504 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:15,919 Speaker 1: during that with that law to include the death penalty 1505 01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,640 Speaker 1: for kidnappings resulting in death, and it created somewhat of 1506 01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:23,479 Speaker 1: an effective deterrent through aggressive prosecution, and that ended pretty 1507 01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:27,760 Speaker 1: quickly after nineteen thirty two. Today we're starting to see 1508 01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:32,440 Speaker 1: a little bit of resurgence, and that is because technology 1509 01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:35,439 Speaker 1: and you know kid well, you think about what's preventing 1510 01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,759 Speaker 1: them too, is you know technology, they had the kids, 1511 01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:42,479 Speaker 1: digital tracking, amber alerts, we have a massive surveillance infrastructure. Hell, 1512 01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:45,120 Speaker 1: we're talking about putting more cameras up and all these 1513 01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:46,599 Speaker 1: going to be on the show to our console person 1514 01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,880 Speaker 1: who wants more cameras up maybe in relation to or 1515 01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:54,479 Speaker 1: indifference of the curfew center that's costs like three hundred 1516 01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 1: and eighty thousand dollars. She's going to come on the 1517 01:12:55,960 --> 01:12:57,680 Speaker 1: show tomorrow to talk about that. But again, we have 1518 01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:01,640 Speaker 1: more license plate readers and sell town to sell tower triangulation. 1519 01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,719 Speaker 1: You have GPS, you've got ring door bells, everybody's cameras 1520 01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:07,080 Speaker 1: are always on. It's harder for criminals to do what 1521 01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:10,360 Speaker 1: they do, plus the digital trails and forensics and things 1522 01:13:10,439 --> 01:13:15,000 Speaker 1: like that, and it's become unprofitable because there's a really 1523 01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:17,200 Speaker 1: high likelhood because of that, you're going to get caught 1524 01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:19,519 Speaker 1: and you're facing a life sentence or death penalty and 1525 01:13:19,560 --> 01:13:22,920 Speaker 1: the fencer behind this, and so we're starting to see 1526 01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:24,920 Speaker 1: it maybe a little bit of a resurgence in this. 1527 01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,240 Speaker 1: So recently there's an alarming new trend, at least for 1528 01:13:27,240 --> 01:13:30,080 Speaker 1: the first half of the last starting last year, we're 1529 01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:33,559 Speaker 1: starting to see a spike and domestic kidnapping for ransom cases. 1530 01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,040 Speaker 1: They think the economy is largely behind this, but the 1531 01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:41,120 Speaker 1: technology that eventually catches up the law enforcement uses catches 1532 01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:42,800 Speaker 1: up for the bad guys as well. And so the 1533 01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:46,599 Speaker 1: digital landscape makes it easier for criminals demand payment through 1534 01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:49,800 Speaker 1: untraceable means. We're talking cryptocurrency and anonymous banking apps, and 1535 01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:51,599 Speaker 1: so now they look at it go, well, it's hard. 1536 01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:53,439 Speaker 1: You know, they can't trace the you know, the serial 1537 01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:56,360 Speaker 1: numbers of the bills anymore like they used to. It's 1538 01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:58,720 Speaker 1: all crypto. And so now that gives them going, well, 1539 01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:00,799 Speaker 1: if we can hold somebody for random some using crypto, 1540 01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:03,320 Speaker 1: that could be a game changer for us, and there 1541 01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,840 Speaker 1: are individuals trying that. I don't know if that's the 1542 01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:09,720 Speaker 1: case with Nancy Guthrie, but the speculation that that is 1543 01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,920 Speaker 1: the case. Who knows at this point, and so you 1544 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:14,840 Speaker 1: could see the pendulum start to swing the other way. 1545 01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:16,439 Speaker 1: I don't think it will, simply because there's just so 1546 01:14:16,520 --> 01:14:19,200 Speaker 1: much attention and the FBAT told but we just simply 1547 01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:21,439 Speaker 1: don't negotiate. We don't give brands some money like we 1548 01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:25,639 Speaker 1: used to. And that is the Canada with Patty Hurst, 1549 01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:27,280 Speaker 1: for example, and that you know, it doesn't work out 1550 01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:30,519 Speaker 1: well usually, as the case may be. I think what's interesting. 1551 01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:32,200 Speaker 1: I talked to someone in law enforcement about this, not 1552 01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:34,240 Speaker 1: on one with any direct knowledge of the case, and 1553 01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:36,479 Speaker 1: we chewed the fat for good twenty minutes about this, 1554 01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:39,479 Speaker 1: and I thought it was really really interesting about what 1555 01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:45,479 Speaker 1: this individual thinks is going on that by now, at 1556 01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:48,360 Speaker 1: least in the first forty eight hours, you know, you 1557 01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:50,439 Speaker 1: could be hundreds and hundreds of miles away for sure. 1558 01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:52,960 Speaker 1: So this is why you've got the border patrol involved, 1559 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:55,360 Speaker 1: because this is an Arizona and the border's a pretty 1560 01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:59,520 Speaker 1: close and so border patrol good. They have active air surveillance, 1561 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,400 Speaker 1: but they're also going to do some financial deep digging here. 1562 01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:05,200 Speaker 1: So Savannah Guthrie makes like eight million dollars a year, 1563 01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,799 Speaker 1: she's worth tens of millions of dollars, And so instantly 1564 01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:13,679 Speaker 1: you think of an abduction for ransom. In most cases, 1565 01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:16,360 Speaker 1: in the fewer, maybe the growing number of ransom cases 1566 01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:19,760 Speaker 1: we have, generally it involved, believe or not, children that 1567 01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,000 Speaker 1: are being held for ransom. Now in this case, as 1568 01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,840 Speaker 1: an elderly woman who needs your medication, and so the 1569 01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:28,720 Speaker 1: thought is, well, this person may be an individual who 1570 01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,040 Speaker 1: is close to her in the sense of knowing because 1571 01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:32,640 Speaker 1: they knew the house, they knew what time she was 1572 01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:34,559 Speaker 1: going to be home, she knew all these things about her. 1573 01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,439 Speaker 1: They did break in obviously, and then the as you 1574 01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:40,000 Speaker 1: mention the ransom note, if it is indeed a ransom note, 1575 01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:41,840 Speaker 1: I don the police kind of describe that awkwardly. I'm 1576 01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:43,680 Speaker 1: not quite sure what it means. I think they're not 1577 01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,280 Speaker 1: convinced it is indeed a ransom, And maybe a decoy 1578 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,439 Speaker 1: is that if that individual has knowledge, because you know, 1579 01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:51,400 Speaker 1: you're up against the clock with her medicine. She only 1580 01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:53,320 Speaker 1: has a limit amount of time she needs medicine to 1581 01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:56,760 Speaker 1: keep her alive. The speculation is or they say, well, 1582 01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:58,799 Speaker 1: look at is does this person, because they have intimate 1583 01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:01,760 Speaker 1: knowledge of Nancy Guthrie, do they have the medicine she 1584 01:16:01,760 --> 01:16:04,240 Speaker 1: would need to survive. They left the medicine behind thinking 1585 01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:06,280 Speaker 1: she doesn't have access to it, and that puts more 1586 01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,320 Speaker 1: of a time constraint on meeting the person who is 1587 01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:13,000 Speaker 1: holding yours demands, if that's indeed the case here. And 1588 01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:15,000 Speaker 1: I thought that's interesting is if they knew then they 1589 01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:17,000 Speaker 1: got her the medicine she needs, knowing what she's on, 1590 01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:19,200 Speaker 1: they would leave the bottle behind and that would make 1591 01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:21,040 Speaker 1: her think she doesn't have it when she actually does. 1592 01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:25,040 Speaker 1: Which is a lot to think about if you're like 1593 01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:28,160 Speaker 1: me or you. But now this is an investigators do 1594 01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:32,519 Speaker 1: all the time. Obviously, they have to locate the vehicle, shoes, 1595 01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,559 Speaker 1: transport in her car, her cell phone, her wallet, all 1596 01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:37,799 Speaker 1: of that stuff was left back, keys, everything left behind. 1597 01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,479 Speaker 1: She has mobility issues. She's sharp as attack mentally, but 1598 01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:43,479 Speaker 1: mobility is a problem for her because she's eighty four 1599 01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:46,559 Speaker 1: years old. So finding the you know, iiding the car. 1600 01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,639 Speaker 1: We see that now with plate readers and everything else, 1601 01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:52,600 Speaker 1: and how they're rather quickly able to piece together the 1602 01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:54,800 Speaker 1: vehicle and get a tag and a hit on a tag. 1603 01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:57,400 Speaker 1: And it happens all the time that someone's out walking 1604 01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,400 Speaker 1: and they wind up, you know, spotting them getting vehicle 1605 01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:01,960 Speaker 1: and they want up now on them. The guy who's 1606 01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,960 Speaker 1: you know, the we just had a case of that 1607 01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:06,400 Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, and it was all done 1608 01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:11,000 Speaker 1: by you know, cameras on poles somewhere. And I think, 1609 01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:12,679 Speaker 1: you know, looking at this and talking to the individual 1610 01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:15,000 Speaker 1: I spoke to, I think it's interesting that, you know 1611 01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:17,599 Speaker 1: the timeline of this investigation. Someone almost had to know 1612 01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:21,240 Speaker 1: she was home alone, uh, and so who had access 1613 01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:23,040 Speaker 1: to her schedule? And you know, they're going to be 1614 01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:25,080 Speaker 1: looking at people in her church. They're going to be 1615 01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,720 Speaker 1: looking at relative speculation there maybe a relative involved in this, 1616 01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:31,639 Speaker 1: who who did service calls to her house or visitors deliveries, 1617 01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:35,120 Speaker 1: all that stuff, and establishing whether or not that ransom 1618 01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:38,639 Speaker 1: communication is is that if it's a ransom note indeed, 1619 01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:40,240 Speaker 1: or it's a decoy, or maybe it's not even a 1620 01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:43,360 Speaker 1: ransom note at this point, so they're you know, hospitals 1621 01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:45,160 Speaker 1: all on the alert as well, and they're looking at 1622 01:17:45,160 --> 01:17:47,439 Speaker 1: cell phone data and all that stuff. The person I 1623 01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:51,320 Speaker 1: spoke to speculated now knowing what we know publicly had granted, 1624 01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:55,599 Speaker 1: the information that law enforcement has in Arizona is a 1625 01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:57,640 Speaker 1: lot more detailed than we have, because, as you know, 1626 01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:00,160 Speaker 1: they only release certain things to the public, so there's 1627 01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:02,280 Speaker 1: a lot more information they're sitting on. They aid in 1628 01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:06,960 Speaker 1: their investigation, and knowing that, they said, well, there's higher likely, 1629 01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:09,000 Speaker 1: the most high likelihood at this point. Know, what we 1630 01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:13,280 Speaker 1: know is that it's a targeted a targeted abduction by 1631 01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:16,360 Speaker 1: a known individual. Because of that, you know there's forced entry, 1632 01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:19,840 Speaker 1: but limited forced entry. Knew her limitations and schedule and 1633 01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:22,000 Speaker 1: all those things as well, and so they would look 1634 01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:25,880 Speaker 1: at that first. And that's also now. Secondarily they're looking 1635 01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:29,000 Speaker 1: at less likely a financial motive for this thing because 1636 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:31,439 Speaker 1: Savannah is high profile. She's had her mom on her show. 1637 01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:34,400 Speaker 1: I guess those around that area and Tucson know that 1638 01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:38,840 Speaker 1: she is Savannah Guthrie's mom because she's semi famous, and 1639 01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:40,360 Speaker 1: so you see that and go, oh, she makes this 1640 01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:42,400 Speaker 1: kind of money. I need money. If I'm going to 1641 01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:45,160 Speaker 1: hold someone ransom, it would be someone like this. Plus 1642 01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:47,160 Speaker 1: your elderly can't really fight back. That's why it tends 1643 01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:51,960 Speaker 1: to be children and elderly folks, and so you know, 1644 01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:54,639 Speaker 1: they also said, I think it's interesting too, that doesn't 1645 01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:57,479 Speaker 1: strike them as like a professional criminal who researched the 1646 01:18:57,520 --> 01:18:59,840 Speaker 1: target that much because of some of the mistakes that 1647 01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:01,880 Speaker 1: they made. No normally if it's I get you know, 1648 01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:06,120 Speaker 1: like like the the individuals who burgled Joe Burrow's house. 1649 01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:08,400 Speaker 1: I mean, hell, there was a cop out front, and 1650 01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:10,120 Speaker 1: they got in, they got out, knew exactly where they're going, 1651 01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:11,960 Speaker 1: what time of day, how to disabled everything, They did 1652 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,880 Speaker 1: their research, they did their homework, still got caught. But 1653 01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:17,200 Speaker 1: according to them, this does not look like it is 1654 01:19:17,240 --> 01:19:20,640 Speaker 1: someone who like some sort of gang or organized activity, 1655 01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:22,760 Speaker 1: that they would be that good in getting this individual. 1656 01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:28,320 Speaker 1: And of course then there's a personal vendetta against Savannah Guthrie. 1657 01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 4: In that. 1658 01:19:30,120 --> 01:19:33,280 Speaker 1: You know, journalists who make enemies, You have political extremists, 1659 01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,719 Speaker 1: you have people maybe upset by her anger, her interviewing 1660 01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 1: she did interview with Trump, for example, that she did 1661 01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:42,400 Speaker 1: interviewed Biden. Maybe someone took that the wrong way and 1662 01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:47,160 Speaker 1: saw this as a personal vendetta against Savannah Guthrie. Although 1663 01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:49,400 Speaker 1: you know, you look at the nature of this whole thing, 1664 01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:51,680 Speaker 1: and why would you take someone, you know, if you're 1665 01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:53,759 Speaker 1: gonna if you're gonna do harmon trying to ruin someone's 1666 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:56,519 Speaker 1: life and make them hurt because you're so twisted you 1667 01:19:56,560 --> 01:20:00,679 Speaker 1: think that physical violence is the only way to save 1668 01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:04,320 Speaker 1: your reputation or get back at someone for reporting on something, 1669 01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,960 Speaker 1: which is absurd. But they're crazy people in the world, 1670 01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,080 Speaker 1: and if you look at it in that regard, and 1671 01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:13,280 Speaker 1: why why would you capture someone and take them as 1672 01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:17,240 Speaker 1: suppose to just killing them? And fortunately it's an abduction 1673 01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:23,320 Speaker 1: because there's still hope that this lady's alive. And then ultimately, 1674 01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:26,160 Speaker 1: finally it's like a crime of opportunity that you know, 1675 01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:29,240 Speaker 1: someone observed her scene and going in maybe made that connection. 1676 01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:31,960 Speaker 1: Could be local criminal activity, recent parolice and stuff like that. 1677 01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:35,040 Speaker 1: So the problem is there's so many, so many strategies 1678 01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:37,920 Speaker 1: and theories out there. And the sheriff said, this isn't 1679 01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:39,960 Speaker 1: a ransom, but there was a ransom note what to 1680 01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:43,080 Speaker 1: make of that, we don't know, but they get they 1681 01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:46,240 Speaker 1: would start with their social and church connections and someone 1682 01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:47,720 Speaker 1: that knows because she went to dinner and then I 1683 01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:49,800 Speaker 1: guess drop off and she was gone later that night. 1684 01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:52,160 Speaker 1: And again that's like a long period of time from 1685 01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:54,680 Speaker 1: the evening till the next morning or next afternoon I 1686 01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:56,320 Speaker 1: should say noon when she didn't show up to church 1687 01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:58,479 Speaker 1: when they figured, hey, something's going on here, and so 1688 01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:00,400 Speaker 1: she's been gone for a long time. Could be anywhere 1689 01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:02,800 Speaker 1: at this point. But it's such a fascinating story in 1690 01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:06,120 Speaker 1: my opinion, because hey, you often don't see this. You know, 1691 01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:08,800 Speaker 1: you see people being you know, children for example, being 1692 01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:10,800 Speaker 1: held against their world, people being abducted and held in 1693 01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:13,280 Speaker 1: a house somewhere as some sort of you know, weird 1694 01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:17,960 Speaker 1: sex slave or something like that. But abductions for ransom 1695 01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:20,200 Speaker 1: or in the appearance of ransom anywhere extremely rare in 1696 01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:23,639 Speaker 1: this country. Used to be fairly common, but not anymore, 1697 01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:26,200 Speaker 1: although they are making a resurgence for the reasons I mentioned. 1698 01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:28,600 Speaker 1: But it certainly is a gripping and interesting story and 1699 01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:30,960 Speaker 1: of a sad at the same time, because, like I said, 1700 01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:35,360 Speaker 1: the person who had interacted with Savannah Guthrie, she's a really, 1701 01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:38,120 Speaker 1: really nice lady. And even if they weren't, you know, 1702 01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:40,080 Speaker 1: you wouldn't wish to sign your worst enemy, because could 1703 01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:43,000 Speaker 1: you imagine getting a call that your mother has been abducted? Wait, what, 1704 01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:45,960 Speaker 1: your mother's missing and we think she's been abducted, you 1705 01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:49,360 Speaker 1: better get out to Arizona. That had to be and 1706 01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:51,599 Speaker 1: still is one of the worst things you could possibly hear, 1707 01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:54,879 Speaker 1: because at eighty four, she's pretty frail and needs her medicine. 1708 01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:57,760 Speaker 1: And we have no idea yet what the endgame is here, 1709 01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:00,280 Speaker 1: but the speculation is running rampant, which, of course, as 1710 01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:01,640 Speaker 1: we deal in here on the show and on this 1711 01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:04,800 Speaker 1: radio station, it's simple speculation, but these are based in fact, 1712 01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:06,800 Speaker 1: and you wonder what was going through the mind of 1713 01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:10,720 Speaker 1: the individual or individuals that abducted her, and what is 1714 01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:13,040 Speaker 1: this they seek to gain by holding captive an eighty 1715 01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:17,000 Speaker 1: four old woman. I mean, financial gain comes to mind instantly. 1716 01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:19,360 Speaker 1: The second would be some sort of retribution because of 1717 01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:22,240 Speaker 1: what Savanah Guthrie does for her job. But the family, 1718 01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:25,360 Speaker 1: I guess, is heartbroken. So TMC is reporting a possible 1719 01:22:25,439 --> 01:22:29,840 Speaker 1: ransom note demanded millions of dollars in crypto at a 1720 01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:32,760 Speaker 1: verified bitcoin address. So this just broke just now as 1721 01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,240 Speaker 1: I was talking about this, and I was speculating that well, 1722 01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:39,240 Speaker 1: cryptocurrency bitcoin, it's much easier to do this today before, 1723 01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,640 Speaker 1: But the FBI is very, very good at what they do, 1724 01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,000 Speaker 1: and they are there to help. According to Keshptel, the 1725 01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:47,599 Speaker 1: FBI director, to help in this case. Now, if you're 1726 01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:51,719 Speaker 1: holding someone ransom and wanting crypto, that certainly does invoke 1727 01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:54,680 Speaker 1: the FBI here, and they're pretty good despite what we 1728 01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:57,960 Speaker 1: believe in how you know what justice looks like. FBI 1729 01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,720 Speaker 1: still pretty good at getting this stuff. Hopefully I find 1730 01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:04,960 Speaker 1: an answer here holding her hostage for some cryptocurrency. I 1731 01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:07,400 Speaker 1: just wonder how organized the group holding here is in 1732 01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:10,720 Speaker 1: that particular case. Anyway, So we got that going on 1733 01:23:10,720 --> 01:23:12,479 Speaker 1: today coming up in a few minutes. Here Sarah Lisa 1734 01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:14,440 Speaker 1: is in and this is a snort report, I imagine 1735 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:16,439 Speaker 1: because she is such a front runner we're going to 1736 01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:18,880 Speaker 1: talk about. We're going to talk about her all the 1737 01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:25,200 Speaker 1: modern Miami University and they remain undefeated. I think next up. 1738 01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:27,240 Speaker 1: I think they got Marshall next if I'm not mistaken, 1739 01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:29,719 Speaker 1: and not how many games they got left in the schedule. 1740 01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:31,680 Speaker 1: But it's awfully tough to go undefeated. So she's here 1741 01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:34,519 Speaker 1: talking about that. I'm sure some Joe Burrow Pro Bowl 1742 01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:36,960 Speaker 1: stuff in the mix as well. The Nicholas nickolasche was 1743 01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:38,680 Speaker 1: on My show yesterday at eleven oh seven at this 1744 01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:43,559 Speaker 1: time and dropped his song about wanting to the Bengals 1745 01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,800 Speaker 1: to sell the team, presumably to him, and he denied it. 1746 01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:48,479 Speaker 1: But I like, I don't know. You've got friends, you 1747 01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:50,840 Speaker 1: got investors, you know if you're in la you know 1748 01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:52,800 Speaker 1: sin you're famous like Nick Laay. You know people who 1749 01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:55,040 Speaker 1: got money. You got some money. But you pull all 1750 01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:57,280 Speaker 1: together by the team. Is it for sale? That's a question. 1751 01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:59,320 Speaker 1: So we'll talk to Sarah about that coming up in 1752 01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:01,920 Speaker 1: a few minutes. And of course the news that ah 1753 01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:04,320 Speaker 1: Suarez is back in a redg jersey is giving us 1754 01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,280 Speaker 1: some hope that one of our sports teams is going 1755 01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:09,360 Speaker 1: to be successful here and maybe that maybe fcfc's about 1756 01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,720 Speaker 1: registered the season too, But our hopes hang on our 1757 01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:15,880 Speaker 1: red legs and some degree FC coming up as they 1758 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:17,839 Speaker 1: kick off the season. By the way, pitchers and catchers 1759 01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:21,160 Speaker 1: reporting just days away. Despite what the weather's like outside, 1760 01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:23,679 Speaker 1: the minute you hear Baseball Day Baseball on seven hundred 1761 01:24:23,720 --> 01:24:26,000 Speaker 1: WLW from Arizona, it feels like summer. Let's say it 1762 01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:28,880 Speaker 1: all on your mind, it all melts away, It all 1763 01:24:28,920 --> 01:24:31,559 Speaker 1: melts away. Early on the show, if you missed it, 1764 01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:35,040 Speaker 1: I had a couple of interesting guests. I had Ohhi 1765 01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:37,280 Speaker 1: representative Adam Bird on at ten o'clock, so you can 1766 01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:40,160 Speaker 1: catch out on the podcast, follow the show via the 1767 01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,559 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app and downloaded for free. Or if you're listening 1768 01:24:42,560 --> 01:24:44,000 Speaker 1: to show right now and you're going somewhere, you can 1769 01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:47,200 Speaker 1: pop your earbuds in and take us with you. Regardless. Anyway, 1770 01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:49,559 Speaker 1: representative of Adam Bird out of Claremont County was on 1771 01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:54,240 Speaker 1: and proposing an NIL band for high school athletes in Ohio. Now, 1772 01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,200 Speaker 1: the Athletic Association just ruled and said, hey, listen, you 1773 01:24:57,240 --> 01:24:59,080 Speaker 1: know what, you can't fight city Hall. And you can't. 1774 01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:02,639 Speaker 1: It's awfully tough to go to war against the law 1775 01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:06,120 Speaker 1: because the law is ruling in favor of individuals or 1776 01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:07,920 Speaker 1: at least one kid who's an always you recruit that 1777 01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:09,679 Speaker 1: Hey listen, I want to make money off my namage 1778 01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:12,040 Speaker 1: of lightness, and I'll take you to court to get that. 1779 01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:15,160 Speaker 1: And so they acquiesced and said, okay, uncle, and now 1780 01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:17,120 Speaker 1: the legislator's look in this going, well, you know what, 1781 01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:20,799 Speaker 1: we think it could destroy high school athletics, the sanctity 1782 01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:22,920 Speaker 1: of high school athletics, and it was present. Adam presented 1783 01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:25,960 Speaker 1: a great case. I thought in that his line of 1784 01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:28,439 Speaker 1: thinking is this is about protecting the institution of education 1785 01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:33,000 Speaker 1: of higher learning about amateur athletics and the like. And 1786 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:34,800 Speaker 1: I think that it sounds good, it feels good, it 1787 01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:36,840 Speaker 1: feels right, But you know, at the end of the day, 1788 01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:39,759 Speaker 1: I guess I have a problem overall with the state 1789 01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:44,439 Speaker 1: telling parents what to do with their kids. And I 1790 01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:45,920 Speaker 1: look at it going, well, if your kid is so 1791 01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:48,800 Speaker 1: exceptional that he or she is going to be offered 1792 01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:53,760 Speaker 1: not only a scholarship and hopefully, most likely if things 1793 01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,680 Speaker 1: play out the way they are, some sort of pro contract, 1794 01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,000 Speaker 1: why can't I capitalize that on now? And the idea 1795 01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,479 Speaker 1: here that the state knows more than the parents do. 1796 01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:05,320 Speaker 1: It's kind of a horn to me in that regard, 1797 01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:08,760 Speaker 1: like you can't prove a lot of harm being done 1798 01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,880 Speaker 1: by a kid taking money. Yeah, well they got to 1799 01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:14,799 Speaker 1: get an agent, and then they got tax guys, And well, 1800 01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:17,160 Speaker 1: how many people who are adults right now go, well, 1801 01:26:17,160 --> 01:26:19,519 Speaker 1: that's a good problem to half, that's rich people problems. 1802 01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,599 Speaker 1: I got to get a tax account and an agent. Damn, 1803 01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:26,120 Speaker 1: I hate my life, said no one effort. So I 1804 01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:28,320 Speaker 1: don't know if the state is staying why the state 1805 01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:31,839 Speaker 1: would be in the way of doing that to protect 1806 01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:33,479 Speaker 1: the children. And I always loath of people when they 1807 01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,000 Speaker 1: say it's about protecting the children. And I'd also contend 1808 01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:38,120 Speaker 1: that there are schools in our listing area right now 1809 01:26:38,120 --> 01:26:39,880 Speaker 1: that are doing the same thing under the radar and 1810 01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:41,760 Speaker 1: have been for a long time when it comes to 1811 01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:44,080 Speaker 1: bringing kids in from out of district or out of state, 1812 01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:46,920 Speaker 1: even because they're so exceptional at the sport that they play. 1813 01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:48,680 Speaker 1: And then of course taking you the boosters take care 1814 01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:51,839 Speaker 1: of the parents, and there's housing and maybe some stipends 1815 01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:54,439 Speaker 1: and things like that. And directly, I say, if you're 1816 01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:55,719 Speaker 1: going to do that, then you've got to go after 1817 01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:57,960 Speaker 1: that as well, because you are just creating the block 1818 01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:00,000 Speaker 1: market that we seek to fix in the first place. 1819 01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:02,680 Speaker 1: Scott's Loan Show with News and five here we got 1820 01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:14,439 Speaker 1: snow moving and yet again seven hundred w. 1821 01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:21,960 Speaker 2: Yes smarted. 1822 01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:28,000 Speaker 1: Lots of sports today report.

That's 1940 01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:53,840 Speaker 1: front running. 1941 01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:56,400 Speaker 6: They had never been waiting like this before. 1942 01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:59,839 Speaker 5: There's a reason why we're leading with the Reds, the Bangles, 1943 01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:00,759 Speaker 5: and I know what you're. 1944 01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:02,639 Speaker 1: Gonna do if if and I'm not saying they are, 1945 01:32:02,680 --> 01:32:03,840 Speaker 1: but if Miami. 1946 01:32:03,479 --> 01:32:06,280 Speaker 6: Loses, which I'm sure that they will offenually. 1947 01:32:05,800 --> 01:32:07,000 Speaker 1: We're going right to the Reds. 1948 01:32:07,040 --> 01:32:08,479 Speaker 5: I guarantee well, we are going to go right to 1949 01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:12,200 Speaker 5: the rest right now because good vibes, baby es. He's 1950 01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:15,759 Speaker 5: so back, and this is exactly what this team needed. 1951 01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:18,200 Speaker 5: He was the answer to all of our prayers. Now, granted, 1952 01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:21,680 Speaker 5: is he gonna how many runs is he gonna get? 1953 01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:22,040 Speaker 6: I don't know. 1954 01:32:22,080 --> 01:32:24,960 Speaker 5: He got forty nine bombs last season. You come to 1955 01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:27,000 Speaker 5: great hot hitter, I don't know. 1956 01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:29,519 Speaker 1: I don't know, because you get great hitters at GBP 1957 01:32:29,680 --> 01:32:33,000 Speaker 1: unless they're wearing the opposite uniform. Similarly, don't do well. 1958 01:32:33,040 --> 01:32:34,320 Speaker 1: I don't know why that is. And it's been that 1959 01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:35,559 Speaker 1: way since Junior came here. 1960 01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:38,160 Speaker 5: I just here's my thing with Gino, Like I love 1961 01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:41,200 Speaker 5: his good vibes, and you know, I hope that he 1962 01:32:41,240 --> 01:32:43,760 Speaker 5: can bring all the bomb stats to GBP, Like that's 1963 01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:46,160 Speaker 5: really cool. But I wouldn't expect this guy to go 1964 01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:47,840 Speaker 5: like four or four every time a book. 1965 01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:50,240 Speaker 1: But you got the guys line can hit too, and 1966 01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:52,320 Speaker 1: maybe that takes the pressure off of Ellie and other guys. 1967 01:32:52,479 --> 01:32:55,080 Speaker 5: I think, Yeah, he is a perfect fit for this team. 1968 01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:58,040 Speaker 5: And he said, you know, it's good to be back here. 1969 01:32:58,080 --> 01:32:59,880 Speaker 5: This is where my wife and I had our baby 1970 01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:02,640 Speaker 5: and got our family started. It feels like home. And 1971 01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:06,120 Speaker 5: Nick Krawl last night said, great clubhouse guy.

And he doesn't have 1981 01:33:20,640 --> 01:33:23,679 Speaker 1: You're right, he doesn't have to rake. You know, whole season. 1982 01:33:24,040 --> 01:33:25,200 Speaker 1: It's like somebody's got to. 1983 01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:27,680 Speaker 6: Hit someone, and I do think it will be I 1984 01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:28,120 Speaker 6: am so. 1985 01:33:28,160 --> 01:33:32,000 Speaker 1: And in credit to the Castellini's for going.

We didn't 1987 01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:36,000 Speaker 1: sign Schwarbur anywhere else, and this is not the top 1988 01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:37,840 Speaker 1: let's face it. It's kind of like, you know, the 1989 01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:42,000 Speaker 1: best remaining hitter available. We waited until Yeah, and they 1990 01:33:42,080 --> 01:33:44,520 Speaker 1: spent more money they planned, but they see an opportunity 1991 01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:45,680 Speaker 1: here and you know what, you've got to give the 1992 01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:46,439 Speaker 1: Reds credit for that. 1993 01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:47,320 Speaker 6: Totally worth it. 1994 01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,439 Speaker 5: And yeah, definitely a lot of credit to the Ruds, 1995 01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:51,680 Speaker 5: like this was a great move by them. 1996 01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:52,639 Speaker 6: Absolutely. 1997 01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:55,760 Speaker 1: I pitching, you got the bullpen squared away, you've got depth, 1998 01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:58,680 Speaker 1: you got the outfields, like be exciting, let's go. 1999 01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I do think that's wos.

And 2006 01:34:13,160 --> 01:34:15,479 Speaker 1: it was smart or smart with their money, but they 2007 01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:17,200 Speaker 1: listened to fans. I think a lot of that is 2008 01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:20,000 Speaker 1: driven by the anks the fans had we had about 2009 01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,120 Speaker 1: going in and so they listened unlike our football team. 2010 01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:24,439 Speaker 5: Well yeah, because I mean, were you excited about any 2011 01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:27,839 Speaker 5: of our hitters this year, who were you most excited about? 2012 01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:30,680 Speaker 5: Ellie we strike out, Spencer. 2013 01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:32,439 Speaker 1: Steer to be better than he was, and a couple 2014 01:34:32,479 --> 01:34:33,200 Speaker 1: of the guys. 2015 01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:34,320 Speaker 6: And Matt McLean can only get. 2016 01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:37,040 Speaker 1: Black and McLean is another one, right, I would hope 2017 01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:39,240 Speaker 1: for should get to figure it out.
