1 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: Scott flowing back on seven hundred w WELW show. You're streaming, 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:07,720 Speaker 1: you're on your phone, you. 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 2: Got devices in the background. Things are going all. Everything's good. 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 2: You're using all this data. And then one day one 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 2: of those platforms you're on, or maybe all of them 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 2: slow down. You get that spinning wheel of frustration. Well, 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 2: what's going on? This thing sucks? It's broken. No, that's 8 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 2: the AI boom. Okay, so we're all on our phone, 9 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: we're all using stuff. AI comes along puts even more 10 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 2: stress on the system. You may not think you're using AI. 11 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 2: You're using AI as we speak. So people in Mount 12 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 2: orb in Maysville and Butler County and Wilmington for that matter, 13 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 2: taking a hard look if they want them in their towns. 14 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 2: So the City of Cincinnati is getting very proactive on this, 15 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: putting a temporary moratorium on new data centers while they 16 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: do a zoning stead of review. It's not a band, 17 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: it's just a pause. And she is part of the 18 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: Housing and Growth Committee, and that would be council Member 19 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: Mika d Owens and the D stands for data Meka, 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: good morning, how are you. 21 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 3: That's the same. Well, that's a good one. That sounds great. Yes, 22 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 3: I am doing well. Thank you so much for having 23 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 3: me this morning. Very excited to be here. 24 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 2: Okay, so obviously major corporations need them, we get pg 25 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,919 Speaker 2: Kroger fifth or they require data infrastructure we have more demand. 26 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: People in the city would often talk about the urban 27 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 2: areas being a desert for connectivity when it comes to 28 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: high speed that would help with this thing. So starting 29 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: with the basics here, city doesn't even have a zoning 30 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 2: definition for data centers right now. So has there been 31 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 2: any interest from the outside the facilities up to this 32 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 2: point and what triggered this need for moratorium in the 33 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,639 Speaker 2: point where literally you want to vote on this today. 34 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, first of all, I think it's important that 35 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 3: we recognize we are in an AI zone similar to 36 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 3: I think the Internet, and so what that means that 37 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 3: this technology is here, It's on your iPhone, it's everywhere, 38 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 3: as you indicated, and so you know, this is not 39 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 3: a question of whether or not just going to grow. 40 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 3: It's how organizations, companies and cities jurisdictions get ready for 41 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:12,399 Speaker 3: this type of technology, revitalization or resolution, whatever you want 42 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 3: to call it. And so what this step is is 43 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: really a pactive step that will help us to one 44 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 3: define what data centers are and you know data center 45 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 3: centers in terms of being able to run AI. It's all. 46 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: Also the concern is the industry consumption that it is 47 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 3: required to do that. So the first step is, let's 48 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 3: pop to define this. Let's look at areas of the 49 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: city where this might occur. So we're looking at twenty 50 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 3: two thousand parcels and what that will do is really 51 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 3: healthy administration to get in to one get more educational 52 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 3: understanding and create a framework around if somebody actually wants 53 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 3: to come to the city and create one. 54 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: Okay, and that is probably sooner rather than later. Again, 55 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 2: a pause, not a ban. But so let's say P 56 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 2: and G or Kroger they're working on something. You know 57 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: that they're always expanding, and you have a new CEO. 58 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: Obviously Kroger, you've got there's a need to expand. If 59 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: they need to expand their data infrastructure during this temporary period, 60 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: this this moratorium, are they grandfather? Then what do you 61 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 2: what do you tell the biggest employers and some of 62 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 2: the biggest companies in the world you can't have it. 63 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 3: Well, that's going to be a part of the engagement 64 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 3: that the administration is going to have to do while 65 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: they are getting all of the pieces on the administrative 66 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 3: side by way of zoning and definition and the totity 67 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 3: Court nation. They're going to do that over the next 68 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: couple of months and hopefully we get to a point 69 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: of better understanding so that we actually know what to 70 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 3: do in a situation like that. We also know that 71 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 3: there are different types of data centers. You know, most 72 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 3: people probably think of them as some large warehouse off 73 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 3: of the side of the interstate, but they could also 74 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: be a small room with with with servers. So we 75 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 3: want to recognize with the landscape is. And so that's 76 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: the work that's going to happen over the next couple 77 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 3: of months. And if we don't have and that also 78 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 3: insos public engagement and so the pieces that are needed 79 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 3: with you know, we don't have those in the next 80 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 3: couple of months, they can also extend so that the 81 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 3: work can continue until we get to a firmer place 82 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 3: of having answers to these question. 83 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I think that makes sense in 84 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: the Central Business District obviously, no go. But there's land 85 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: all over the place in Cincinnati and also in Hambling 86 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: County for that matter where you look at it, going, hey, 87 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 2: there's what they need is they need they need electricity. 88 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: We'll get to that in a second to power these things, 89 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 2: but they also need water to cool everything off. 90 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: In the data centers. 91 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: We've got the Ohio River right there, you know, worried 92 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: about in some of these counties, you know, like folks 93 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: in Adams County or Butler County, masl Kentucky and elsewhere 94 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: more of Wilmington, they're worried about taking all the groundwater 95 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 2: out and that's a huge problem for those communities. You 96 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: really don't have that with the plentiful water in the 97 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: Ohio River that gets pumped back in anyway. It's you know, 98 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 2: in that you're also in proxi many of the big companies, 99 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: but also the people and Cincinnati needs needs that infrastructure 100 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: when it comes to data and when comes to the 101 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 2: ability to get more products online and get people connected. 102 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 2: And so it's a it's a beautiful fit I think 103 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 2: for some of these cities. And you've got the you 104 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 2: got the space, and you're not saying no, but I 105 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: think just being near the Ohio River is a bonus here. 106 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 3: Oh well, absolutely, that is the attraction to the Midwest 107 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: and specifically you know, Cincinnati and other jurisdictions, and so 108 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 3: it is. It is all a part of the changing 109 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 3: pollution in our environment and changing climates and changing temperature. 110 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 3: The Midwest is going to be so attractive because we 111 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 3: see the erosion that is happening on the coast right 112 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 3: the West Coast Coast fire was all of those things. 113 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 3: So just by that, you know, we have got to 114 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 3: get ready for folks who are coming to this network region. Yes, 115 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 3: our natural water water source is a benefit, but it's 116 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: also something that we need to protect. Again as we 117 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 3: will look at data usage and energy consumption, and yes, 118 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 3: water is a part of that. So these are all 119 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 3: the important elements, which is why the city is taking 120 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 3: a step to say, hey, let's uncover all of this, 121 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 3: because we are seeing this evolve over the news and 122 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 3: around the world, and Cincinnati is no different than any 123 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: other city in this country trying to innswer these questions. 124 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: I think we're putting ourselves in a really great position 125 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 3: by saying, hey, let's go ahead and do and overlay 126 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 3: on a certain area of the city so that we 127 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: can actually get ready. Because the last thing we would 128 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 3: want to do is to have one data centers just 129 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 3: popping up all over the place, and then they're you know, 130 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 3: taking a lot of good demands off of the bridge. 131 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 3: And so because right everyone spects to come home and 132 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 3: power their home and with on the lights and all 133 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 3: of those things, and those that are using solo panels, 134 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 3: you know, that's also quite exciting. And so it becomes 135 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 3: a moment where we can think about, one, how do 136 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 3: we actually mitigate interview consumption by way of all of 137 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 3: these things that could be incentives to help reduce demands. Yeah, 138 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 3: you know, solar panels and. 139 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 4: All of the abolt. 140 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: Well, now's the time to look at this, and I'm 141 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 2: glad you are, Mika Owens. You know, I was just 142 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: thinking top of my head the Queen's Gate area, lower 143 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 2: Price Hill, that area is in need of development, and 144 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: the question is what to do after the New Brunch 145 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: bench Bridge corridor projects done. Hell, we haven't started digging 146 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 2: the holes yet, that that'd be a good time maybe 147 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 2: to put the pipe in the like in at that 148 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 2: point to get the water into the intake and outflow 149 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: from the Ohio River. I mean, just now's the time 150 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 2: to be thinking about, Hey, where could we put one 151 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 2: of these big plants in Cincinnati. 152 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean Queens Queen's Gate, aliso A Mountains, the 153 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 3: West End is a place that has so much promise 154 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 3: considering what happened and what devastated that community. I seventy 155 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 3: five and you know you had it was a plus 156 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 3: storing place for black people in this city. You end 157 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: up migrating in other spaces. We think about the Western 158 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: it definitely has to include housing and you know, amenities 159 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 3: and syntheist as well. And so you know, somebody an 160 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 3: exciting conversation to think about what that mix of things 161 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 3: look like for the Western right. 162 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: Mika Owen's council person on the Scotsland Show on seven 163 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 2: hundred WLWD city trying to fast track a temporary moratorium 164 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: just a pause data centers coming to the City of 165 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 2: Cincinnati and trying to get some policy together. 166 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 5: Uh. 167 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 2: But at the same time, I look at Columbus and 168 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 2: Columbus is rolling out the red carpet for Meta and 169 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 2: Amazon and Google Data. Why are we pumping the brakes 170 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 2: If Columbus is moving forward, are we going to get 171 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 2: left behind? 172 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 3: Well? And that's what we don't want, right and so 173 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 3: I think what we need to do right now is 174 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 3: define what data centers are, and maybe Columbus look ahead 175 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 3: of us and doing that. We're currently in our code 176 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 3: are learning, so we have no definition. So it's important 177 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 3: for us to stop recognize what a data center might be, 178 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 3: put that define to it so that the underlying zoning 179 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 3: is appropriate. So at the end of the day, and 180 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 3: we're talking about character in a particular community and maintaining 181 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 3: that esthetic and quality, all of those pieces have to 182 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 3: be built in at the base level. So you know, again, 183 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 3: maybe Coumbus zoning UH is exponentially you know, moving moving 184 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 3: quicker than ours, but we certainly want to to your point, 185 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 3: this is a moment of revolution where we cannot be 186 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 3: left behind, not only by way of policy and how 187 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 3: we use this in the at the city, but also 188 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 3: by way of attracting new businesses to the signal to 189 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 3: the region. 190 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 2: Gotcha, gotcha? Mika Owens on the show, where are you 191 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: at Kroger? What's going on? 192 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: You checking out? 193 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 6: What's going on? 194 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 3: Gosh? I started, I sent so funny. I am at 195 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 3: a coffee shop in college tail. You know, a girl 196 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 3: got many things to do in the morning. We could 197 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 3: do model tacting, but I do want to say Scott 198 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: just one thing about the small your as fictions and 199 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 3: the county at large. This is where you know, commissioners 200 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 3: will have to tackle with this issue because when we 201 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 3: think about land availability and we think about smollogiers, fictions 202 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 3: that are not even set up with departments like planning 203 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 3: and dealing with zoning reform, these are the questions that 204 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 3: certainly we will have to wrestle with and be prepared for. 205 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 2: Has the city had or scheduled talks with Duke Energy 206 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: to see if they are great our infrastructure locally can 207 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 2: handle this or is that too. 208 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 3: Far out that that's the part of what what will 209 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 3: happen over the next three months while you know, the 210 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 3: administration is doing this work, so we're talking about the 211 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 3: deep uh nitty gritty detail information that will be needed 212 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 3: to to to make this viable, right and so uh, 213 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 3: you know, engaging with with Duke is at the top 214 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 3: of the list. 215 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 4: Uh. 216 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 3: And then you know, as it relates to how do 217 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 3: we really coordinate energy and utility usage if someone wants 218 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 3: to come here and open a data center, is the. 219 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 2: Three months moratorium a hard deadline? Because you know, personally 220 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: I think it should be because too often in government 221 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 2: and you've seen this Meka Owens where it's like, hey, 222 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: give us three months, Well we need another three months. Well, 223 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 2: next thing, you know, it's a year and no one's 224 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 2: talking to anybody, and now the fruit is just withering 225 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 2: on the vine and we're getting passed by. I mean, absolutely, 226 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 2: do the due diligence. I you know, you know the 227 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 2: residents and other areas that are undergoing this. 228 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: You know, you should be. 229 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: Involved in your community and decide what's going on. There's 230 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 2: no question about it in this case. I just wonder 231 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 2: sometimes you go okay, and then we're onto the next thing, 232 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 2: and next thing, you know, it's like P and G 233 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 2: and Kroger are thinking about moving out because they need 234 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 2: they need more more data and they can't get it 235 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 2: because you're you're sitting on things. 236 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: So will this wrap up in three months? 237 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 3: We're hoping so. But I think what's what's key here 238 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 3: is quality and not necessarily the speed of you know, 239 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 3: the speed of getting there is really getting the right 240 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 3: answer to the question. And so while the administration is 241 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 3: moving towards, you know, being doing this in three months, 242 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 3: first of all, we still have to pass this today, 243 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 3: but we are giving some flexibility for an extension if 244 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 3: we don't uncover all of the things that we need 245 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: to because at the end of the day, you have 246 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 3: one not only the responsibility of cities to really do 247 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 3: this and look at this and examine this thoroughly, but 248 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 3: you also have concerns from citizens who some of us 249 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 3: don't even know what AI is or what it does. 250 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 3: And so we're also in an environment where we all 251 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 3: have to get educated on this revolution because again, it's 252 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 3: in all of our lives right now and it's here 253 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 3: to stay. And as I've been in AI conversation just 254 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: with you know, some stakeholders in the city, one of 255 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: the pieces is, yes, let's educate ourselves on how to 256 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 3: use this as an everyday user as a resident. And 257 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 3: so there's a lot that I think in the next. 258 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 2: Three months, no question about mick owens, the more times 259 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 2: in place. It's going to go on for three months, 260 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 2: hopefully not much longer than that, and we can't fall behind. 261 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: We know that already. 262 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: But at top of your mind, what are the most 263 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: adverse in facts you're concerned about in your mind? 264 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: Is is it energy costs? Is for the environment? Is 265 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: it noise? Is it traffic or something else? 266 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: The highest concern for me would be energy consumption. So 267 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 3: if we can figure out the correct balance to that, 268 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 3: that's going to be priority. 269 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 7: Again. 270 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 3: We have done so much work on the groups of 271 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 3: NATI Plan and continuing to be responsible to our natural 272 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 3: resources will always be the city highest priority. 273 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 2: Okay, obviously the city's behind moving forward with a data 274 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 2: center somewhere, and I know that. I've talked to people 275 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 2: before and said, well, it's difficult to build up with 276 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 2: a huge data center. You know, we have some big 277 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 2: empty buildings. It'd be great for that, but the problem 278 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 2: is that the batteries waste much. It's about floor loading, 279 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 2: and you just can't build a floor the cost. It's 280 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: cost prohibited build upward because of the weight of these buildings, 281 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 2: so it has to be more expensive. Although there's some 282 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: areas in other cities where they're doing smaller data centers 283 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: as well, and maybe a number of smaller data centers 284 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 2: versus a big one, but then of course there's that 285 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: there's that cost issue for these big companies doing it. 286 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: Whether it's it's good to put it in since. 287 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: Of that or not. 288 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 2: It'd be nice if you guys go, hey, listen, we're 289 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 2: going to set aside an area or a district or 290 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 2: here's here's there's three different sites you can choose from. 291 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 2: You'll pick one and we'll get you a deal on 292 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 2: the property because it's being unused and it's going to 293 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: add to the tax space. And so it's an opportunity 294 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 2: for local government here to be forward thinking and get 295 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: their arms around the problem we're all going to face 296 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: at some point. 297 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 8: For sure. 298 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely all of the above, which is why you know, 299 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 3: creating this overlay district is important. And what we have 300 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 3: asked the administration to also do is to consider policies 301 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 3: that would helps supplement what they're going to be uncovering. 302 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 3: And so by way of yes, are there is their 303 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 3: need for certain instances, is their need to uh look 304 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 3: at things like you know cras and uh and other 305 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 3: you know abatement strategies that will help to be not 306 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 3: cost prohibited but actually helped to get projects across the 307 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 3: finish line, right by which you know, we're making sure 308 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 3: that one we are you know, energy consumption as it's 309 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 3: popular with and that not being a at first impact. 310 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 8: Right. 311 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 2: You look at communities around and I'm sure at some point, 312 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: if you haven't already make it you're going to talk 313 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 2: to folks in more mount orb for example, where you 314 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 2: get a small genets packed with people because they're worried 315 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 2: about the data center coming in and what it's going 316 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 2: to do to their community and quality of life, which 317 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 2: are reasonable concerns. Even if you come up with a 318 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 2: plan for this too, I'd imagine there's gonna be sizeable 319 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 2: backlash from people in the Cincinnati community that's simply regardless 320 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 2: of how well thought out it is, simply don't want it. 321 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: How do you address those people? 322 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 3: Well, we ask the administration and in the you know, 323 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 3: in this process which early outlines that you have to 324 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 3: do a public hearing on these things.

So I 497 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 2: had not with this project, I'm not worried about it. Well, 498 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 2: what if it underperforms the economy hits I mean that 499 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 2: could happen, but an effect everywhere generally. I think when 500 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 2: you're in the convention business, if you build something new 501 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 2: and shiny and bright, a lot of people are going 502 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 2: to want to come check it out. 503 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: Is that true? 504 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 4: That is? 505 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 9: And also I mean they've done a really good job 506 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 9: on the capital stack of diversifying the different funds, so 507 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 9: it's not just one source that needs to be you know, 508 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 9: it's not just the performance of the hotel. There's a 509 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,959 Speaker 9: lot of different areas that need to succeed, and I 510 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 9: think that that's helped spread the risk. 511 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 2: Out right, Christy samadrid on the next step downtown, and 512 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 2: that is a brand new show piece hotel next to 513 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 2: the convention center that's not going to be ready for 514 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 2: another twenty six months roughly before we can start getting 515 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 2: that connection together. It's not stopping, of course, the people 516 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 2: booking events at the convention center, but moving forward, it's 517 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 2: going to be a little while before we can get 518 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 2: that going. I know, Portman Holdings is behind this. They're 519 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 2: the developer with the hotels. Do they have a what 520 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 2: is their track convention hotels? And I'm sure you're expecting 521 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 2: them to deliver by the second quarter of twenty twenty eight, 522 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 2: and there's clauses and everything else to get the work done. 523 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: But have they done other convention projects? 524 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 10: Yeah? 525 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 9: Well, and I think that as you know, with our 526 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 9: partnership with Portman, you know, we will be working hand 527 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 9: in hand, as you know, managing that project with them, 528 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 9: and so I think that we have a great track 529 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 9: record on getting projects some time conventions that are being 530 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 9: one of them, and so we feel really strong that 531 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 9: it will be complete on time and it'll be at 532 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 9: the US the hotel, Yeah, and it's a Marriotte property, 533 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 9: so that's that's great, world class. 534 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 2: And Portman said they're gonna they're gonna buy another downtown 535 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 2: hotel not yet named, not to be named. Why the 536 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 2: secrecy behind that and and what's the strategy there if 537 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 2: you can kind of take us by the curtain. 538 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I think. 539 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 9: It's just you know, working on the financing, making sure 540 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 9: that everything all the doctor in the role will row 541 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 9: before we announce that, I think And make sure that 542 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 9: everything's you know, tied up with a bow, and we 543 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 9: can announce that a strategic plan forward. 544 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, because we've got top of my head. 545 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 2: They've got the ac you've got the moxie, I think 546 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 2: is their brand as well, the Renaissance. All of those 547 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 2: are Marriot brands and you're adding another one. Are you 548 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 2: worried about putting all your aids in one basket there 549 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 2: or are you just afterwards let the market kind of. 550 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: Figure out itself. 551 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 7: Yeah. 552 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 9: I think that, you know, Mary has a really strong brand, 553 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 9: and so I think in a lot of cities you 554 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 9: see that, and so we feel really strong about moving 555 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 9: towards this way. 556 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 2: All right, let's talk at Christy's AMoD a little bit 557 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 2: about competition. Louisville just open there a new omni hotel 558 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 2: connected to their convention center, and how big I guess 559 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,959 Speaker 2: the competition there. You don't want to say that, but 560 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,639 Speaker 2: there's competition. How do you pitch, like meeting planners who 561 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 2: can lock in Louisville versus waiting on Cincinnati and the 562 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 2: hotel in twenty twenty eight, how hard is that to 563 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 2: book shows here? 564 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? 565 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 9: I mean again, like I said, I think that that 566 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,959 Speaker 9: our city has a lot to offer on you know 567 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 9: what else the district has. I mean, there's been a 568 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 9: ton of vestiment, there's a lot of movement. I think 569 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 9: that while we don't have a conventions that are a 570 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 9: proper hotel, that there's a lot of other Belgian whistles. 571 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 9: There's a lot of other hotels that can compile. We 572 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 9: can work together, you know, visit since he has a 573 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 9: great service team, that they can be the confires for that, 574 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 9: you know, the client, to make sure that it's a 575 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 9: seamless approach. And so I think that there's some competitive 576 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 9: advantage there. 577 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,440 Speaker 2: All right, so your spend how much does this spend 578 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 2: on the WEX garage? It's like twenty eight million? Did 579 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 2: I see that? 580 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 4: Yeah? 581 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 2: Okay, which is about what ten percent of the total 582 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 2: costs of convention center. Why is it parking garage so expensive? 583 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 9: I mean, to do it right, I mean I think 584 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 9: that you know, a lot of people say me myself, you. 585 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 4: Know, we're going into garages. 586 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 9: A lot of them are dark and dreary. I think 587 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 9: that we want to do it right. We want to 588 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 9: make sure that we renovate this where people want to park. 589 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 5: This will have a. 590 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 9: Skybridge to the convention Center, and so it will be 591 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 9: a conduit to that for parking, and so really wanting 592 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 9: to make sure that that's done done right. 593 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 2: So we're gonna it sounds like me, Chris, you're saying 594 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 2: you're going to build a bougie ass parking garage is 595 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 2: what we're. 596 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 6: Going to do. 597 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 2: That's pretty cool because normally you're right, they're kind of 598 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 2: dark and dury and it seems like a I don't know, 599 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 2: sometimes you're walking at night and I don't care what 600 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 2: state it is and where it is, but it feels 601 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 2: like you're looking over your shoulder.

So two mass suspects, 778 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 2: one of them of the gun, gets in, They grab 779 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 2: the employees's holstered pistol. Partner takes the cassettes, which are 780 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 2: the big boxes that go into the ATMs. They don't 781 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 2: just sit there and load the cash in. It's taken 782 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 2: somewhere else in the boxes. The cassettes as they were, 783 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 2: are loaded into the ATMs. And so they get away 784 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,759 Speaker 2: with it. I mean literally, you had two hundred and 785 00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,399 Speaker 2: twenty two thousand dollars in your hands, which probably would 786 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 2: have lasted these two knuckleheads easily four or five days. 787 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,919 Speaker 2: The box get away. So they get the getaway car 788 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 2: and a black hooptee. It dies like they're pulling out 789 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 2: of the parking lot with the money in the car 790 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 2: and the car dies. You can't make this up, you know, 791 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 2: if you're planning something like this, and I can't imagine 792 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 2: that you're looking at a brink truck going why don't 793 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 2: we rob that truck right now? 794 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 1: Now there has to be some thought in it. I 795 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: would think, maybe not. I don't know. 796 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 2: You gotta at least make sure your car works. Car 797 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 2: dies in the parking lot like you forgot to get gas. 798 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 2: So then they take the money to a second vehicle, 799 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 2: which is a white four F one to fifty pickup truck. 800 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 2: Now there's a lot of I have an F two 801 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 2: to fifty, so it wasn't me but a white F 802 00:35:58,520 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 2: one fifty. 803 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:00,160 Speaker 1: Lots of them out there. 804 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 2: But they spotted the truck at North Bend police did 805 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 2: they started to chase, they lost visual on it. 806 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: That truck gets a flat tire. They find it in Westwood, 807 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:10,399 Speaker 1: So now. 808 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 2: They bring the canines up and the canine tracks are 809 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 2: sent from the abandoned truck.

Like, I mean, 819 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 2: they think it was that close to think about that. 820 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 2: You got two or twenty one granted on the Brink truck, 821 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,839 Speaker 2: and I think that'd be the hardest part of the job, 822 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,439 Speaker 2: right is getting into the truck, getting the guards because 823 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,919 Speaker 2: they're trained and they you know they're they're armed as well, 824 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 2: and you're able to overpower the two guards and take 825 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty one thousand dollars. You'd think at 826 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 2: that point, I that's pretty good. And you had had 827 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 2: a second vehicle ready to go. I don't know if 828 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,280 Speaker 2: that second vehicle was an accomplice or maybe the car jacket. 829 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 2: It seems to me, based on the story, is that 830 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 2: it was a second car. So maybe there's a friend 831 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 2: in the area of some idol. But these two nuckles 832 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 2: I mean literally it was. It was almost Bengal like 833 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,760 Speaker 2: in the way that this was the most Bengals criminal 834 00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 2: enterprise of all time. You had it won and then 835 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 2: you lost it. You literally grasped the feet from the 836 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 2: jaws of victory. Well good, More dummies off the street, 837 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 2: More dummies off the street. We also have the Savannah 838 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,719 Speaker 2: Guthrie cases I mentioned. Welly, now I should say now 839 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,840 Speaker 2: I keep saying Savannah's is her mom Nancy. We know 840 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 2: that with you know, ties to local ties here. So 841 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 2: the very latest on that's just want to update, I 842 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 2: don't have anything. Wow, a little bit of new stuff here. 843 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 2: So they found I get and this is after her 844 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 2: latest video she's playing for the family that they want 845 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,360 Speaker 2: to give him money. And I guess there's maybe some 846 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 2: light activity in that bitcoin account that they had set up. 847 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 2: But authorities raided a home yesterday just outside of Tucson, 848 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 2: and they thought, okay, well, maybe this is the guy. 849 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 2: A person of interest in the case is what they 850 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 2: call him. It's a person of interest and they subsely 851 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 2: have released this individual. It's about sixty miles away south 852 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 2: of Tucon in a town called Rio Rico, and the 853 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 2: man is only identified as Carlos. He told the man, well, 854 00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 2: I hope they get the suspect, because I'm not it. 855 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 2: He told that to the I believe the New York 856 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,759 Speaker 2: Times got a hold of this guy, said yeah, well 857 00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 2: what happens. 858 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: Apparently he was a he's a delivery driver. 859 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 2: And I think with the case is somebody or maybe 860 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 2: video spotted him in the vicinity and they tracked him 861 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,439 Speaker 2: down to this house and said, well, yeah, good job 862 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 2: checking it out. And they obviously went and searched his 863 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 2: home at or warrant and came away with nothing and 864 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 2: empty handed and released the guy. 865 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: So they got you know. 866 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,839 Speaker 2: And I think the other thing too, is we've seen 867 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 2: this in the past. Remember the Atlanta Park bomb in 868 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 2: case in the ninety six Olympics, and it made a 869 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 2: really great movie about this, and the security guard that 870 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 2: you know, was falsely accused and it turns out that 871 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 2: he was false skin and by then his reputation was ruined. 872 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,839 Speaker 2: And in this day and age where reputations get ruined 873 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 2: and people get docked quite literally, and Julie Balks can 874 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 2: actually be talking about that coming up as we talk 875 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 2: careers and jobs and stuff. Just how quickly someone can 876 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 2: get the wrong name and just double down on stupid 877 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 2: and ruin your life. That that could have happened in 878 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,919 Speaker 2: this case, I mean, it still happened at this case, 879 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 2: but apparently they released him and said, yeah, he's not 880 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,439 Speaker 2: the guy, or just fall up on leads and as 881 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 2: far as we know right now, there's no movement here. Now, 882 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 2: you know, the other element of this thing, too is 883 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 2: what we know could literally fill a thimble. What the 884 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 2: FBI knows is an entirely different thing, because I mean, 885 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,480 Speaker 2: think about it. You've got there was a camera on 886 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,120 Speaker 2: the outside of the house that they found. You wonder 887 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,840 Speaker 2: if that goes anywhere the obviously the ring doorbell and 888 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 2: the account was deactivated, but it goes to show you 889 00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 2: in this digital age and this could should show be 890 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 2: sober up a little bit. Is okay, your accounts de activated, 891 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 2: but it's still recording video and so they're able to 892 00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 2: go to ring I guess, and get some of this 893 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 2: video that they weren't able to get earlier simply because 894 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 2: it was they called it artifacts or something like that. 895 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 2: But goes to show you, I mean, the camera's always recording. 896 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,720 Speaker 2: Just because you don't have your subscription paid up doesn't 897 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 2: mean it's not working, and what do they do with 898 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 2: that data? Where does all that stuff go? That's pretty sobering, 899 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 2: I think for all of us. And there's actually new 900 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:23,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw. 901 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: This or not. 902 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 2: It kind of ties in. There's a Super Bowl commercial 903 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 2: ring doorable. I have a ring doorbll maybe you do too, 904 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,800 Speaker 2: And there's a new technology that if your dog is lost, okay, 905 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 2: it uses facial recognition basically, or maybe body recognition or 906 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 2: dog breath recognition to identify the dog and hey, you 907 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 2: upload images I guess maybe a front side profile view, 908 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 2: aerial view, underview of the dog, and you put it 909 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 2: into the algorithm and it will connect. It'll go and 910 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,440 Speaker 2: search other ring doorbells in your neighborhood with an a 911 00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,319 Speaker 2: radius and is actively looking for your dog. If your 912 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 2: dog walks in front of your neighbor's door, maybe a 913 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 2: few blocks away or whatever street over, the camera is networked. 914 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 2: It recognizes the dog and says, hey, this looks like 915 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,960 Speaker 2: you know your dog. It's over here in this particular neighborhood, 916 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 2: which is like, wow, that's pretty cool. My dog gets loose. 917 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,400 Speaker 2: But if it could do with a dog, right, it 918 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 2: should be able to do with people as well. And 919 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 2: now we have facial recognition technology available for the home user, 920 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:27,760 Speaker 2: and we've had that for a while. I've got actually 921 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 2: a garage door open a thing that you can have 922 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 2: a setting on it that will recognize the person, let 923 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,239 Speaker 2: you know who's at the you know, at the door 924 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 2: or whatever, which is pretty cool but also frightening at 925 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,920 Speaker 2: the same time. So if that technoloy is out there 926 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 2: that previously has only been available to those in law enforcement, 927 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 2: one may ask, maybe it makes it easier to get 928 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,399 Speaker 2: this captive. At the same time, it also makes if 929 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 2: you're a you know, if you're not a fan of 930 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 2: the Big Brother TV show, and even less of a 931 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,400 Speaker 2: fan of Big Brother and government this has cost for 932 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 2: concern because that's in the private sector obviously, and you 933 00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 2: just wonder the FBI has access to all of the 934 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 2: stuff and even more, how much information they really have 935 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,239 Speaker 2: on what they're releasing are two different things. So you know, 936 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 2: you want to feel like, oh my god, it's been 937 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 2: what eleven twelve days now, this poor woman and you know, 938 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 2: what's the state of her. 939 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: Breaking news. 940 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 2: By the way, TMZ has apparently received a note on 941 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,319 Speaker 2: the whereabouts of Nancy Guthrie again, this is unsubstantiated too, 942 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,919 Speaker 2: because they've got to confirm. We've seen hoaxes in the past. 943 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 2: Someone is arrested because they falsely sent out a ransom 944 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 2: notes and they had nothing to do with this. But 945 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 2: that person's going to prison for a long time. And 946 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,439 Speaker 2: so TMZ gets a note on Nancy Guthrie and maybe 947 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 2: her whereabouts and hopefully she can prove oc to her family. 948 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 2: But the story now gripping the nation. That's the very 949 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 2: latest we note about this in the bitcoin account. You know, 950 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,120 Speaker 2: there's one in the ransom note. Apparently there's a little 951 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 2: activity on as well, and certainly law enforcement is working 952 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 2: diligently to bring her back home safely and repatriate her. 953 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,080 Speaker 2: But I can't imagine the family and what they've been 954 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 2: going through for well over a week right now. So 955 00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 2: hopefully the FBI is figuring this stuff better than I think. 956 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,840 Speaker 2: We talk about government agencies. Hopefully the f beyondr. Keshptel 957 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 2: is doing a much much better job than the FAA 958 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,520 Speaker 2: under Sean Duffy. I don't know if you called this 959 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 2: or not. It was kind of a brief story. This 960 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 2: is the shoot first, asked question later part of our 961 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 2: government here. Uh So the FAA earlier this morning, I'm 962 00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 2: just about to come in at nine o'clock and they 963 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:28,240 Speaker 2: announced that airspace around El Paso, Texas. 964 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 1: Now you know, you know, you've heard of l Paso. 965 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:31,520 Speaker 1: I know it's on the border. 966 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,319 Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure exactly where it, but al pass 967 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 2: it's a big Their sauce is pretty good. L Passo, 968 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 2: old l Passo. Uh, it's going to be close to 969 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:40,879 Speaker 2: the next ten days. 970 00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:41,279 Speaker 6: Wait what. 971 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 2: L pass is not that big a city, but big 972 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 2: enough to know what al Passo is. And that's going 973 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,480 Speaker 2: to be close for the next ten days because of 974 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 2: what they called special security reasons. So all flights to 975 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 2: and from El Paso, which is an international airport by 976 00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 2: the way, is shut down for the first time since 977 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:03,319 Speaker 2: nine eleven for ten days. And just the announcement comes 978 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 2: out just out of the blue from the FAA, and 979 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 2: everyone in the aviation sectors going what the you saw? 980 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 2: You know, Airline stock starts to blip a little bit. 981 00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 2: So all flights to and from l Passa are grounded, 982 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 2: commercial cargo, general aviation. The whole airport, the whole field 983 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,319 Speaker 2: is shut down. Now I know that there is an 984 00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 2: army base there it's called Fort Bliss is in proximity 985 00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 2: of Al Paso. It's right there. So about an hour later, 986 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:32,879 Speaker 2: the FAA goes all clear, Wait what they said, there's 987 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 2: no threat to commercial aviation. Everything's back to normal. Now 988 00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 2: you shut it down for ten days, and then an 989 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:41,719 Speaker 2: hour later go that you know, we figured it out, 990 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 2: We're good. It's like a fourteen year old kid, apparently 991 00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,600 Speaker 2: he's in charge of the fa Like, I get their 992 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,279 Speaker 2: security threats and you want to err on the side 993 00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 2: of caution for sure, one hundred percent. But again it 994 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 2: goes to show for those people have their political ideologies 995 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 2: set in stone that my side's always right, the other 996 00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 2: side's always wrong, and anti America regardless to what side 997 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,279 Speaker 2: you stand on. And this is simply it's patently felt. The 998 00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,839 Speaker 2: problem is, hold on a second. You just shut down, 999 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 2: You announce to the world that you're shutting an airport 1000 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,520 Speaker 2: down for ten days, and then an hour later you go, 1001 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 2: never mind my bed. So what really happened, Well, apparently 1002 00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:21,440 Speaker 2: and Mexican cartel drones breached the US airspace because it's 1003 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,880 Speaker 2: on the border, and so they temporarily closed the airspace 1004 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:28,400 Speaker 2: overall Passo and the Defense Department because well, four plusses 1005 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 2: right there put their anti drones and anti drone systems up. 1006 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,799 Speaker 2: They're able to disable the drones. And at the same time, 1007 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,200 Speaker 2: I guess they were also that the army was testing 1008 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,799 Speaker 2: their anti drone technology. So we're not sure if the 1009 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,400 Speaker 2: brief airport closure is related to the presence of drones 1010 00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 2: or if it was the technology or what it was, 1011 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 2: but it's pretty clearly a jump to go, hey, maybe 1012 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:52,399 Speaker 2: you know, maybe you want to talk to another branch 1013 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 2: of government to figure out what they're doing. If you 1014 00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 2: shut this down because they're testing anti drone technology, which 1015 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 2: is good, especially along the border, which is even better, 1016 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,799 Speaker 2: maybe you didn't want to jump out and go I 1017 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 2: was shutting it down for ten days because you're freaking 1018 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,680 Speaker 2: people out for no reason in a day and age 1019 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 2: where everyone's freaked out all the time. And the fact 1020 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 2: of the matter is, and I saw this tweet from a 1021 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,879 Speaker 2: congressman went from El Paso and said, well, I didn't 1022 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 2: know what was going on, and you know, to act 1023 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 2: like that there's an incursion. A drone incursion is nothing new. 1024 00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 2: There have been incursions from Mexico going back to as 1025 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 2: long as drones as existed. So was this something was 1026 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 2: this something unusual or part of the pattern here? So 1027 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 2: there's nothing extraordinary about it, is what she said. Now, 1028 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,359 Speaker 2: at the same time, I look at those comments and go, well, 1029 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 2: you know, if we got Mexican cartel drones over the 1030 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 2: United States, rather than going, ah, what happens all the time, 1031 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:44,840 Speaker 2: no big deal, maybe you want to make it a 1032 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 2: big deal. So the other side of this is, you know, 1033 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,800 Speaker 2: because the administration's doing it, you people going it's no 1034 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,520 Speaker 2: big deal, happens all the time. Well, why would you 1035 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:58,600 Speaker 2: be complacent about drones from Mexican cartels flying over airspaces 1036 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 2: and Fort Bliss for them that matter? I mean, yeah, 1037 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 2: I am concerned. I don't know about you, but I 1038 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 2: am concerned about that, you know, putting the political nonsense 1039 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,760 Speaker 2: aside and just using some common dash cut just the dash, 1040 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,600 Speaker 2: just the dash of common sense. Here you look in 1041 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 2: and go, well, okay, well we got Mexican cartel drones here, 1042 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,839 Speaker 2: Well we can't have that. I mean, how that's more 1043 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 2: dangerous to me than illegals coming over the border. Most 1044 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 2: of the people crossing the border here just for a 1045 00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 2: better life and trying to save their lives in the 1046 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,400 Speaker 2: leves of their family make money. You know, there's probably 1047 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 2: some criminal swept up there for sure, but I think 1048 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 2: that's you know, is it overblong. We need to know 1049 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,960 Speaker 2: what's coming across the border, for sure. But to me, 1050 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 2: the Mexican cartels find drones over airports and military bases, 1051 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 2: that escalates way above all that other stuff. Would you agree, 1052 00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,000 Speaker 2: because that is a clear and present danger. They're being 1053 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:50,800 Speaker 2: run by Mexican drug cartels, like legitimately the worst people 1054 00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 2: on the face of the world. So good, we have 1055 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 2: the technology knock these things down, but the comms was 1056 00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 2: really bad on this, Like why would you just come 1057 00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,000 Speaker 2: out and blurt out we're shutting down the airspace rots 1058 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,480 Speaker 2: an hour later go yeah, you know, never mind, we 1059 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 2: got it like that just and that's part of the 1060 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 2: problem here, is that, you know, there's just so quick, 1061 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 2: shoot from the hip kind of attitude it is. I 1062 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,919 Speaker 2: think that's why collectively as Americans were exhausted because every 1063 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,400 Speaker 2: day something like this comes out, you go, it's the 1064 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:19,560 Speaker 2: worst thing in the world, and it's like, go on, 1065 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 2: never mind, And we've got three or four five of 1066 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 2: those plates spinning just like that every single day in 1067 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:29,360 Speaker 2: this country. And it gets it's so exhausting. I'm not 1068 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 2: saying we should not deal with you don't misunderstand me. 1069 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,080 Speaker 2: The drones bad thing. I don't accept the fact that 1070 00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:39,000 Speaker 2: it's normal to have Mexican drones across our border. That's 1071 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 2: our airspace, especially when you're talking about sensitive targets commercial 1072 00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,640 Speaker 2: and military aviation. You got to deal with that. But 1073 00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,239 Speaker 2: just jumping out and going ten days and I go, 1074 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,839 Speaker 2: I never mind. It just it exhausts you, and then 1075 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 2: it also makes you distrustful of our leadership at this time. 1076 00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 2: For sure, I'll get a news update and Julie Bouki 1077 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,680 Speaker 2: is here. We talk career related stuff, and speaking of 1078 00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,640 Speaker 2: getting docs, there's a great story involving that, and really 1079 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 2: it's it's kind of hopeless if you're a business, if 1080 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:08,279 Speaker 2: you wind up on the receiving end of the stuff. 1081 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:09,640 Speaker 1: Any We'll get to that just ahead. 1082 00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,640 Speaker 2: Right after news update, Scott's Loan Show continues on seven 1083 00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:13,919 Speaker 2: hundred w WELWD. 1084 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 10: Giving you a vocational leg up on everyone else.

But that is quite an 1093 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:41,880 Speaker 4: odd story. 1094 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,000 Speaker 1: Not odd, frightening is what this is. 1095 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:45,240 Speaker 4: Founding. 1096 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,520 Speaker 2: It is in the day and age in which we live, 1097 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,400 Speaker 2: of course, with AI and you know, now Crypto and 1098 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 2: all these things. You wonder if they're successful in God, 1099 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 2: you hope they're not successful here. But if they are, 1100 00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,759 Speaker 2: if this just encourages more people to do what they 1101 00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,439 Speaker 2: did with Nancy Guthrie shuddered to think that that's the case. 1102 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,960 Speaker 2: But it's probably true because crime criminals are pretty opportunistic 1103 00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,919 Speaker 2: if they see an opportunity to do this good, badter 1104 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,360 Speaker 2: and different they're going to do in the future. 1105 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I just it's it's so and I know we'really, 1106 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,239 Speaker 4: I know we're only getting part of the information to lot, 1107 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:22,320 Speaker 4: but it's it's really something. Man to give me a hope. 1108 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 2: They'll get caught. You only criminals are largely stupid. I 1109 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,840 Speaker 2: was just talking in a story here about about these guys. 1110 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,919 Speaker 2: They Robbie Brinks truck here in Cincinnati. They get away 1111 00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 2: with almost two hundred and twenty three thousand dollars.

And then 1156 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 4: we have this poor guy in Claremont County with the 1157 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:37,560 Speaker 4: furniture store by the same name, who gets splashed by 1158 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:43,920 Speaker 4: this because the keyboard Warriors are insane and it ends 1159 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 4: up costing him his business.

And the 1162 00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,319 Speaker 4: guy in Tennessee he went out there and made this 1163 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 4: public sort of this video saying that was my wife, 1164 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,239 Speaker 4: that was not me.

And so what are we doing here? I 1167 00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,359 Speaker 4: think the the we we call it docsing, but we 1168 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:15,919 Speaker 4: are in this and are we so unhinged that we're 1169 00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 4: going to go after We're not even you know, we're 1170 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,040 Speaker 4: going to affect somebody several states away. Had nothing to 1171 00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 4: do with this, even if we agree with what happened 1172 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,920 Speaker 4: in Tennessee. I mean, it's it's over the top, and 1173 00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 4: it's both ways. It's both sides. You know, there's no 1174 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:33,120 Speaker 4: there's no innocent ones here, and it's just I don't know. 1175 00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 4: I don't know where it's going to end. And now 1176 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,960 Speaker 4: you put AI in there. I watch things on AI 1177 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,520 Speaker 4: now and if I look at things online, I can't 1178 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 4: It's like ill look at it and go, is this AI? 1179 00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,640 Speaker 4: Is it not? When you can make anybody say anything 1180 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:52,080 Speaker 4: you can, and the AA is getting better and better. 1181 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:52,720 Speaker 1: It's hard to trust. 1182 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,759 Speaker 2: Go you kind of want to see something, Oh yeah 1183 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,920 Speaker 2: it's A and then you think it, well, whatever the's 1184 00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:58,960 Speaker 2: AI or not, And that's the images and the like, 1185 00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 2: but also any thing. Now, I just you, we don't 1186 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:04,480 Speaker 2: trust anybody anymore, and I think this increases the division 1187 00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:06,959 Speaker 2: we have and just adds more fuel to that fire. 1188 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:08,920 Speaker 2: It's like, well, you know, I got it wrong, but 1189 00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 2: I don't care because you know, we can't. We can't 1190 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,439 Speaker 2: we're wrong anymore. And the real result is this guy 1191 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,960 Speaker 2: in Tennessee nothing to do with what's going on in 1192 00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:17,760 Speaker 2: Clarmont County. 1193 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:19,239 Speaker 6: He had to have. 1194 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,719 Speaker 2: You know, it's furniture stores losing business because of the 1195 00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,160 Speaker 2: bad online reviews and it's just nasty, hateful comments and 1196 00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,279 Speaker 2: fake reviews and threats because the person who's doing that 1197 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,320 Speaker 2: doesn't even bother to find out if this is indeed 1198 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,280 Speaker 2: the same place or not, not even the same state. 1199 00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,600 Speaker 2: And that is to show you the level of stupidit 1200 00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,000 Speaker 2: that's out there in society today. 1201 00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:40,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's scary, and I don't know. I don't 1202 00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 4: know what is going to stop that or change it. 1203 00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 4: I think it's sort of the wild West. I mean, 1204 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:50,240 Speaker 4: even when you see something that's even if it's said, okay, 1205 00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,360 Speaker 4: you've got to put this is AI generated, you know, 1206 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,319 Speaker 4: on everything you put out there, people won't do it. 1207 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,440 Speaker 4: We make it. I'll see a thing and they'll think 1208 00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:00,000 Speaker 4: it doesn't sound like something So and so would say like, eh, 1209 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:03,080 Speaker 4: you know, and I move on, But not everybody. We 1210 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,719 Speaker 4: want to believe what supports our position. We want to 1211 00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:10,719 Speaker 4: believe what shores up. Yeah.

They go back and look, 1219 00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:36,000 Speaker 4: they find their social media is their social media accounts. 1220 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,960 Speaker 4: They inform their employer, they inform their spouse, they inform 1221 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:43,640 Speaker 4: their neighbors, they inform their church whatever it is, and 1222 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,239 Speaker 4: and most of the time like why would you be 1223 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:46,680 Speaker 4: so stupid?

No, 1232 00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:04,759 Speaker 2: but everyone outlie says the worst thing in the history 1233 00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,120 Speaker 2: of the world, and there should be banned. I'm like, 1234 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,719 Speaker 2: now you're complaining about something you didn't even see. And 1235 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,680 Speaker 2: I just wonder how many people are like that because 1236 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,280 Speaker 2: someone told them or somebody, you know, taking her cue 1237 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:18,000 Speaker 2: from I don't know Republicans for example, outrage about bad Bunny, 1238 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,000 Speaker 2: and you know I get emails like well, Ane, The 1239 00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:22,840 Speaker 2: first complaint was it wasn't an English we didn't understand. 1240 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,560 Speaker 2: The next day it was the follow awords that Bad 1241 00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 2: Bunny was saying. Well, if you don't understand, if you 1242 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:29,400 Speaker 2: don't understand the words and your kids don't speak Spanish, 1243 00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,680 Speaker 2: then you don't know what he said in the first place. 1244 00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:33,360 Speaker 1: You can't. But and I get it. 1245 00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,840 Speaker 2: You know, if bad words are said in Spanish. According 1246 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 2: to the SEC it really doesn't matter. But I'll point 1247 00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:40,640 Speaker 2: out that the alternative this was the kid Rock Show, 1248 00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,560 Speaker 2: and if you see the song he's saying blah blahlah blah. 1249 00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,160 Speaker 2: If you look at the lyrics of that, they're pretty bad. 1250 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,360 Speaker 2: They're pretty offensive lyrics. And also kids should probably shouldn't 1251 00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,880 Speaker 2: be here about strippers and meth. So, you know, we 1252 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,279 Speaker 2: just we feigned this ignorance and we already have our 1253 00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:58,120 Speaker 2: views not only made up, but also the people who influence, 1254 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,879 Speaker 2: the influencers out there who we look to make their 1255 00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:02,600 Speaker 2: minds up when we just spout what they so we 1256 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:03,840 Speaker 2: don't even think for ourselves anymore. 1257 00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:08,319 Speaker 4: It's terrible, no, No. And I think too that sometimes 1258 00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:12,360 Speaker 4: when we're really frustrated, we're really upset, we're really angry, 1259 00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,000 Speaker 4: we're really feeling powerless. One of the ways that we 1260 00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:21,000 Speaker 4: combat that is by taking on power in ways that 1261 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,160 Speaker 4: we feel like we can embrace. And so I might 1262 00:57:23,240 --> 00:57:25,960 Speaker 4: feel like my life is out of control, you know, 1263 00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,720 Speaker 4: it's like my bills are rising, this and this and this. 1264 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 4: I don't nobody listens to me anymore, and so I 1265 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,360 Speaker 4: lash out. I mean, just what your kids do? You 1266 00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,680 Speaker 4: know they'll come home and when they're teenagers, come home 1267 00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,840 Speaker 4: and complain about something. And I used to say when 1268 00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:39,480 Speaker 4: I was in HR, I'd get people coming in and 1269 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,360 Speaker 4: complaining about, you know what color the walls were, the 1270 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:44,640 Speaker 4: food and cafeteria, and I think, that's not really what 1271 00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,720 Speaker 4: you're complaining about. So I think a lot of times 1272 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,840 Speaker 4: we direct our anger at things that we that feel safe, 1273 00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 4: and when we're behind that screen on that keyboard, we 1274 00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,440 Speaker 4: feel really anonymous, and we aren't. And so you know, 1275 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 4: I think you've got to just take a pause. Yep, 1276 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,600 Speaker 4: do you want to post something?

They came up with it 1290 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 2: was an app or a tool to track layoffs. 1291 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so I. 1292 00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,080 Speaker 1: Got an easy solution for it. 1293 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 10: Yeah, I know. 1294 00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:43,080 Speaker 4: So this is just, I mean, these of the things 1295 00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,040 Speaker 4: that make me just say, gosh, I've been around the 1296 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,439 Speaker 4: block too many times at this point, because it's it's 1297 00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:49,840 Speaker 4: just it's the same problems that keep coming up again. 1298 00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,800 Speaker 4: So he's mad because his employees came up with an 1299 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:57,040 Speaker 4: app or a tracking tool to track layoffs in the company. 1300 00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:59,240 Speaker 4: He found out about it, and he lost his ever 1301 00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:03,840 Speaker 4: eleven mind and he called them obstructionist. What you know 1302 00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,200 Speaker 4: that it's like the who's the guy in Princess Bride. 1303 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:07,840 Speaker 4: I do not think that word means what you think 1304 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:12,680 Speaker 4: it means. It's not that's they're simply tracking what's going on. 1305 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 4: They're not stopping anything for simply reporting, creating transparency and 1306 00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:23,560 Speaker 4: reporting on what's happening in the company. And this is 1307 00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:28,080 Speaker 4: that CEO arrogance that says, I'm gonna do whatever I want. 1308 00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:33,280 Speaker 4: You clearly see what's happening. And you know, now that 1309 00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:36,760 Speaker 4: we have all these tools and all this technology, the 1310 00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:41,320 Speaker 4: rank and file employees can create transparency where they couldn't 1311 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,240 Speaker 4: in the past. And they're saying, yeah, we're gonna you know, 1312 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,960 Speaker 4: let's let's show what's happening here. And I think if 1313 00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:52,360 Speaker 4: you if you're afraid of transparency as a leader, and 1314 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,960 Speaker 4: obviously you're not going to publish everyone's salaries. There are 1315 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 4: certain things that have privacy issues. But if you're having 1316 00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,200 Speaker 4: layoffs and you really think that people don't see what's 1317 01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,760 Speaker 4: going on and aren't talking about it, all they did 1318 01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,479 Speaker 4: was go one extra step and put it in create 1319 01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:10,960 Speaker 4: a tool to tract the layoffs, and that just hurt 1320 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:12,000 Speaker 4: his whittle feeling. 1321 01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,640 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know, companies expand and contract all 1322 01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:18,720 Speaker 2: the time. No one's putting a side up there because 1323 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,360 Speaker 2: they're hiring. Now when people get let go and get 1324 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,560 Speaker 2: got got as a case, when this contraction, you know, 1325 01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,240 Speaker 2: you got to take the lumps along with that. But 1326 01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 2: it's not just pinterest, it's the tech sector is hammer 1327 01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:32,800 Speaker 2: good jobs right now. So you know, sometimes your skin 1328 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 2: is just I mean, you got to get thicker skin 1329 01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:35,400 Speaker 2: if you're CEO. 1330 01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right. And you know all the layoffs members 1331 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:41,360 Speaker 4: that have crat the layoffs or the highest event since 1332 01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:44,520 Speaker 4: January of two than nine right now, and that was 1333 01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:47,560 Speaker 4: bad back then, and so yes, it is more bad 1334 01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:49,200 Speaker 4: news than good news. But if you're going to leave 1335 01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,120 Speaker 4: the company. That's part of why you're getting the big 1336 01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:53,920 Speaker 4: bucks is to take this lings and arrows and the 1337 01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,920 Speaker 4: dissatisfaction of your people. That's why you're paid well, that's 1338 01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,800 Speaker 4: why you get the bonuses. Yes, your job the tenuous, 1339 01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,800 Speaker 4: but that's why you're paid so well. 1340 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:03,240 Speaker 1: Correct. 1341 01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:07,240 Speaker 4: So yeah, and you've got to you can't as a CEO. 1342 01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:11,160 Speaker 4: You can't establish trust with your people through open communications 1343 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:15,080 Speaker 4: and being willing to answer difficult questions. You know, if 1344 01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 4: you're going to hold that role, you have to be 1345 01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,240 Speaker 4: just as well. Look at these are political representatives to 1346 01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,560 Speaker 4: go to town halls and they don't like the question, 1347 01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:26,640 Speaker 4: so they leave. Oh yeah, that and genders trust. So 1348 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 4: this is a part of that response. It's not just 1349 01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:31,960 Speaker 4: the title in the big salery. You have to grow 1350 01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,840 Speaker 4: a thick skin and you have to look people in 1351 01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:36,760 Speaker 4: the eye. They may not always like your answers. You 1352 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:38,960 Speaker 4: make it food, But that's part of holding the top job. 1353 01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:40,440 Speaker 4: That's part of what it is. That's part of the 1354 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 4: job description. 1355 01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:42,880 Speaker 2: I'll push back a little bit at that CEO or 1356 01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:44,760 Speaker 2: the case of what you're talking about. A politician goes 1357 01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,720 Speaker 2: to a town hall, right and they're elected officials. They 1358 01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:48,600 Speaker 2: want no one force them to take this job. They 1359 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,080 Speaker 2: campaigned for this job, so it's a different thing. But 1360 01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:52,200 Speaker 2: by at the same time, you know, you go to 1361 01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,439 Speaker 2: town hall and you're like, hey, listen, I know there's 1362 01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,280 Speaker 2: you've got questions, there's tough questions, and that person's being vilified. 1363 01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 2: But you know when people are actively booying you and 1364 01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 2: everyone's yelling at the same time and shouting people down, 1365 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,360 Speaker 2: I mean I get leaving at that point. It's like, well, 1366 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,320 Speaker 2: if you want to have a conversation a dialogue, here, 1367 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,160 Speaker 2: I'll talk and then I'll listen to your response and 1368 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,000 Speaker 2: maybe we can come to common ground or we'll just disagree. 1369 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:12,680 Speaker 1: But I'm here to answer the questions. 1370 01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:14,880 Speaker 2: But if you're gonna behave in a fashion much like 1371 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:19,600 Speaker 2: the doctor of the Claremont County Furniture store, then you're 1372 01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,200 Speaker 2: wasting my time. So I don't blame somebody for walking 1373 01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 2: off the stage at that point. If you're gonna have 1374 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,360 Speaker 2: a respectful conversation, you want to know what I'm thinking. 1375 01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,160 Speaker 2: I'm trying to tell you, but you yelling at me 1376 01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,040 Speaker 2: and drowning me out with noise makers. 1377 01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,120 Speaker 1: It's childish. 1378 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:35,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a way of expressing your dissatisfaction. It is 1379 01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:39,200 Speaker 4: and it is. It is not saying it's appropriate, but 1380 01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:44,120 Speaker 4: it is. It is frustration of not it's the frustration 1381 01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,280 Speaker 4: of not being heard and having to get to that 1382 01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:48,880 Speaker 4: point where you're taking to the streets where you're yelling. 1383 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:52,600 Speaker 4: I mean, it is an expression of frustration that you 1384 01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 4: don't think the normal ways of that you already feel unheard, 1385 01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:59,520 Speaker 4: and we see that everywhere, and it's going to get 1386 01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:03,440 Speaker 4: worse because the younger generations, unlike us older folks, are 1387 01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:06,600 Speaker 4: not afraid, not afraid to express what they think, they believe, 1388 01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:09,200 Speaker 4: they have an opinion that needs to be heard. 1389 01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:12,720 Speaker 2: And because that's how we raise that's how we raise 1390 01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:15,840 Speaker 2: that generation as you were, you know, to not coin 1391 01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:17,840 Speaker 2: a term here, but the snowflake thing is true larger 1392 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,040 Speaker 2: because it's like, we talked to you. You're special and 1393 01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,120 Speaker 2: you're different like everybody else, and your what you have, 1394 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:25,480 Speaker 2: you have you have the ability to be heard, and 1395 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,960 Speaker 2: you want to be seen, and you have agency and 1396 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:29,560 Speaker 2: all these things. And we lift people up like that. 1397 01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:31,240 Speaker 2: It's like, well that's how they're going to act when 1398 01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:32,680 Speaker 2: they're at alls. 1399 01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, for sure. There's a lot of stuff that 1400 01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:39,360 Speaker 4: we see with gen Z. I know so many wonderful 1401 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:43,280 Speaker 4: younger people work for but there's for sure there is 1402 01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,320 Speaker 4: a little bit of the chickens coming home to roost 1403 01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:47,720 Speaker 4: and from the participation in Trophy generation. 1404 01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's what we raise. You know, you can't blame 1405 01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:51,960 Speaker 2: them for the way they were raised. And we all 1406 01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,000 Speaker 2: have a hand that dad's our vault, but people don't 1407 01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,800 Speaker 2: want to admit that, right. Julie Boucair Career Shup on 1408 01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,720 Speaker 2: The Scotsland Show on seven hundred WLW, talking career related 1409 01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,000 Speaker 2: stuff from this case. Yeah, the takeaway if you're if 1410 01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,520 Speaker 2: you you know, you don't have to be a CEO, 1411 01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:06,960 Speaker 2: but at the same time, if you run a company, 1412 01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:08,760 Speaker 2: if you're a manager, whatever I think they take away 1413 01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:10,560 Speaker 2: with the Pinterest guy is you know, there's gonna be 1414 01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,720 Speaker 2: times where've got to deliver bad news and people are 1415 01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,280 Speaker 2: going to be hurt, they're gonna be angry, they're going 1416 01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,040 Speaker 2: to be emotional about it, and you have to deal 1417 01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 2: with that. You have to be above the fray and 1418 01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,840 Speaker 2: deal with that in a calm, collected way and say, listen, 1419 01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,560 Speaker 2: I don't no one likes to lay people off, you know, 1420 01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:25,440 Speaker 2: And if you feel you've got to track the You 1421 01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:26,440 Speaker 2: just you've got to let that go. 1422 01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:27,840 Speaker 1: That's the downside of the job. 1423 01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,880 Speaker 4: Yes, it's absolutely part of it, that's right. And if 1424 01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:35,960 Speaker 4: you aren't built for that, fine, then don't take that job. Yeah, 1425 01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:39,640 Speaker 4: but that's that's why again, that's why. That's part of 1426 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,800 Speaker 4: the reason that people get paid so much more at 1427 01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 4: the higher levels because you're expected, you're more visible, You're 1428 01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:51,480 Speaker 4: expected to handle conflict, you're expected to deliver the bad news, 1429 01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:54,680 Speaker 4: you're expected to handle difficult situations and issues that arise 1430 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:58,800 Speaker 4: in an eight fun and nobody loves it. But that's 1431 01:04:58,840 --> 01:05:00,520 Speaker 4: part of you know, pulling up a big girl and 1432 01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:02,160 Speaker 4: big boy pants as a senior leader. 1433 01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:05,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I've worked for people were the 1434 01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:06,800 Speaker 2: same thing. It was like they're more worried about what 1435 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:10,240 Speaker 2: the opinion of the organization was outside the facility than 1436 01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,440 Speaker 2: they were inside. To make well, if you address the 1437 01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,480 Speaker 2: inside stuff, you don't have to worry about the outside 1438 01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:15,160 Speaker 2: stuff as much. 1439 01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 4: Right, So true, it's so true. 1440 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,360 Speaker 2: Like if that doesn't get out there, well, why don't 1441 01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:22,680 Speaker 2: you do something to fix that? And then you know 1442 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,560 Speaker 2: the people wouldn't be complaint And I don't know it works, 1443 01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,439 Speaker 2: but whatever, I don't know My time here is short, 1444 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,440 Speaker 2: and so is yours.

I'm talking about the FBI here, 1470 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,360 Speaker 2: So hopefully this single'll come to fruition before it goes 1471 01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,520 Speaker 2: onto two weeks, god forbid. We'll talk about healthcare reform 1472 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,479 Speaker 2: with Terry Wilcox. She's a patient advocate, the patient side 1473 01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,120 Speaker 2: of the battle in Washington. What progress is being done. 1474 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:41,760 Speaker 2: We have Trump our ex out and some our x 1475 01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,640 Speaker 2: as the website. We'll talk about that and also what's 1476 01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,120 Speaker 2: really being done in Washington, if anything, to try and 1477 01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:50,880 Speaker 2: bring in the costs of healthcare. We're worried about things 1478 01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:53,919 Speaker 2: happening outside the continental United States. We fight over Super 1479 01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,760 Speaker 2: Bowl halftime shows. How about fighting over healthcare and get 1480 01:06:56,800 --> 01:06:59,080 Speaker 2: this fixed? What do you say that's next? After news 1481 01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:02,120 Speaker 2: on the Home of the Red seven hundred WWT, Cincinnati, 1482 01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,520 Speaker 2: Scott a film show seven hundred WLW. While we fight 1483 01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:13,840 Speaker 2: over halftime shows, bridges to Canada, Iran, Venezuela, whatever. Our 1484 01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:18,560 Speaker 2: healthcare system continues to unravel. So we have insurance companies 1485 01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 2: that are exploiting ACA subsidies. We have a hospital consolidation 1486 01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:25,960 Speaker 2: that drives up cost It decreases access for those in 1487 01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:29,680 Speaker 2: rural communities. You have administrative blowed. I could go on 1488 01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:32,200 Speaker 2: and on and on, and we need some remedy here. 1489 01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:34,480 Speaker 2: Terry Wilcox is the co founder chief mission offer at 1490 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:38,880 Speaker 2: Patients Rising. That's an adovcacy organization for patients, which seemingly 1491 01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:40,480 Speaker 2: we don't care about in America. 1492 01:07:40,560 --> 01:07:44,560 Speaker 5: Terry, welcome, welcome, Thank you for having me, Scott, I 1493 01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:45,120 Speaker 5: appreciate it. 1494 01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:48,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, prayer right now. I mean the Trump administration 1495 01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:50,320 Speaker 2: is moving forward with the Trump our X thing. I 1496 01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,120 Speaker 2: looked at this and said, oh, there's some some deep 1497 01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,560 Speaker 2: discounts here. But at the same time, I also have 1498 01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,160 Speaker 2: a good RX card, which is a free market company 1499 01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,160 Speaker 2: that goes that basically gets reduced call for over the 1500 01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:02,800 Speaker 2: counters or not over the counts, I should say, for 1501 01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:05,479 Speaker 2: a prescription medicine, and a lot of the Good RX 1502 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,480 Speaker 2: scripts are actually cheaper than Trump RX. It's always good 1503 01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,320 Speaker 2: to add more into the mix to get a better deal. 1504 01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,000 Speaker 2: But you know, again, it feels to be like, hey, 1505 01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:14,920 Speaker 2: we're going to do something that's already being done and 1506 01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:17,639 Speaker 2: take credit for it rather than just fix the system. 1507 01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:22,720 Speaker 5: No, someone, I do agree with you on that. I 1508 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,960 Speaker 5: think to your point, the more you put out in 1509 01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,559 Speaker 5: the system and the more options that are available, the 1510 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,719 Speaker 5: better look. A lot of those medications on trump rx 1511 01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:35,000 Speaker 5: do have generic counterparts. You can find them on Cost 1512 01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:38,599 Speaker 5: plus Drugs, mark Cusan's Cost plus Drugs and other places. 1513 01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:41,200 Speaker 5: Like you said, good rx you can find a generic version. 1514 01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,679 Speaker 5: You can also, you know, find the name brand versions. 1515 01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,320 Speaker 5: And I think that's what trump rx is linking to 1516 01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:50,960 Speaker 5: for the most part. And I think it's just one 1517 01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:54,360 Speaker 5: other narrative and one other way for us to insert 1518 01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:57,960 Speaker 5: something into the system, to show prices, to give patients options. 1519 01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:01,080 Speaker 5: Right right, If you want the name brand drug and 1520 01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:05,000 Speaker 5: you can't find it anywhere else, you can link here. 1521 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:08,880 Speaker 5: Just going to be side system manufacturers have created for 1522 01:09:09,000 --> 01:09:11,439 Speaker 5: their name brand a lot of their name brands that 1523 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 5: like I just said, I already have generic. 1524 01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:15,679 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1525 01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:17,479 Speaker 2: One of the other areas I want to get into 1526 01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,519 Speaker 2: is a hospital consolidation. I think that is like one 1527 01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:22,680 Speaker 2: of the unspoken things who often fight over the ACA 1528 01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:24,600 Speaker 2: and subsidies and we're going to kill the ACA and 1529 01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,200 Speaker 2: people are going to get loft off and not have 1530 01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,400 Speaker 2: health insurance, but all that money goes to insurance anyway. 1531 01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,960 Speaker 2: Hospital consolidation to me is a huge river cost right now. 1532 01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:35,000 Speaker 2: And so what does that look like on the ground 1533 01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,280 Speaker 2: for a patient trying to get care in Cincinnati or 1534 01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:40,640 Speaker 2: Columbus or Indianapolis or Dayton or Louisville. 1535 01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:46,799 Speaker 5: Well, basically, when you have hospital consolidation and a certain 1536 01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:50,960 Speaker 5: hospital system owns an entire area or in entire region 1537 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:56,120 Speaker 5: or in some cases and entire states, there is no competition. 1538 01:09:56,840 --> 01:10:00,519 Speaker 5: And when there is no competition, there is no way 1539 01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 5: for you know, patients just have to go where they're tools. 1540 01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:09,760 Speaker 5: So there's no price shopping, there's no looking, Oh i'd 1541 01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,439 Speaker 5: rather have this doctor that I think this place would 1542 01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:14,120 Speaker 5: be better for what I need. Oh, I can save 1543 01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,840 Speaker 5: more on my copay if I go here, or we 1544 01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:18,800 Speaker 5: could save money and pay for it out of our 1545 01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:22,519 Speaker 5: AHSA if we go here. There's no there's nothing for 1546 01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,040 Speaker 5: the patient to be able to think about. They're just 1547 01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:28,920 Speaker 5: sort of forced through. They're given, you know, a bill. 1548 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:31,639 Speaker 5: Much later, I just went through this with my point. 1549 01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:33,760 Speaker 5: You're given a bill, you have no idea what the 1550 01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 5: structure has costs when you go in, and then you're 1551 01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:38,760 Speaker 5: given you know what what your portion is, but there's 1552 01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:42,800 Speaker 5: no real conversation about what any of that is. And 1553 01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,320 Speaker 5: I think what we have to look at now is, Yes, 1554 01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,720 Speaker 5: insurance is made for emergency care, right, I mean it 1555 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:53,439 Speaker 5: should be. I mean that's why you haven't you will 1556 01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:56,479 Speaker 5: help you from financial harm, whether it's home insurance, car 1557 01:10:56,520 --> 01:11:00,400 Speaker 5: insurance help, that's what it's supposed to do. And die introduce, 1558 01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,040 Speaker 5: you know. And what we have is this sort of 1559 01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:08,240 Speaker 5: healthcare card, right, and it just sort of pushes us 1560 01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:13,000 Speaker 5: through a system. And I experienced that here in Northern 1561 01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:15,920 Speaker 5: Virginia with the you know, folks that are in our 1562 01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:19,839 Speaker 5: network and patients, patients don't have any have any choices 1563 01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,280 Speaker 5: or options, and they run up against a lot of 1564 01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:26,280 Speaker 5: denials if they want something that the insurance company doesn't 1565 01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,760 Speaker 5: want in the hospitals do control all the pricing, so, 1566 01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:32,519 Speaker 5: you know, and they are One of the things that 1567 01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:36,200 Speaker 5: I say about the hospital lobby is the hospital lobby 1568 01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,280 Speaker 5: there is a hospital in every district in America America, 1569 01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:43,919 Speaker 5: so every every congressional member of Congress has a hospital 1570 01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:47,880 Speaker 5: in their district, right, and so it is a much 1571 01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:52,519 Speaker 5: tougher if it's a tough lobby to break, but it's 1572 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,200 Speaker 5: one we need to break because it is it is 1573 01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:58,519 Speaker 5: monopolizing the system and the prices of the system, and 1574 01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:02,360 Speaker 5: they're not transparent and they're not accountable to the prices 1575 01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:03,040 Speaker 5: that they're charging. 1576 01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:07,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, the statistic is stunning as well. Hospitals are hiring 1577 01:12:07,240 --> 01:12:09,320 Speaker 2: ten administrators or every one doctor. 1578 01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:09,880 Speaker 1: Is that true? 1579 01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,280 Speaker 5: It is true from what I'm I mean, I've read 1580 01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:17,400 Speaker 5: the same studies you have. I Yeah, it's the administrative 1581 01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,400 Speaker 5: bloat to the map. And the truth is, we need 1582 01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:25,719 Speaker 5: more doctors and we need more healthcare professionals. We don't 1583 01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:28,400 Speaker 5: need more people pushing papers. You and I both know 1584 01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:37,200 Speaker 5: that we don't. And it's a disservice to access for patients. Yeah, 1585 01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:38,880 Speaker 5: facing shortages. 1586 01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:41,960 Speaker 1: That seems untembleed. So what's our tist. You're hiring that 1587 01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:43,400 Speaker 1: many more administrators, what's the point? 1588 01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:50,280 Speaker 5: Well, I you know why they hire that many more administrators. 1589 01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:55,080 Speaker 5: I think they created a system with a lot more paperwork, right, 1590 01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:56,720 Speaker 5: And that may not just be on the hospitals. I 1591 01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:58,200 Speaker 5: think a lot of that has to do. 1592 01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,200 Speaker 1: With well Medicare and government demand. 1593 01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:02,880 Speaker 5: Medicare and government medicare and government's. 1594 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:06,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, you go into your typical doctor's office, there's there's 1595 01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:08,639 Speaker 2: eight people working there. One of them is a nurse, 1596 01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:12,480 Speaker 2: the other seven are like medical coders and uh Medicare specialists. 1597 01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:14,840 Speaker 1: That's the problem. Get the get government out of our 1598 01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:15,280 Speaker 1: health care. 1599 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,880 Speaker 5: It's all in the coding. And that is why, that 1600 01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:23,839 Speaker 5: is why many doctors, especially general practitioner or general practice 1601 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:28,040 Speaker 5: doctors are leaving Medicare and Medicaid and all insurance altogether. 1602 01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:29,799 Speaker 5: And it's like, look, you can pay me a monthly 1603 01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:31,320 Speaker 5: fee and I'll be your doctor. It's called ther ext 1604 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:34,519 Speaker 5: primary care because I can charge you a lot less 1605 01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:35,880 Speaker 5: and see you a lot more and give you a 1606 01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:37,360 Speaker 5: lot more of my attention if I don't have to 1607 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:38,800 Speaker 5: worry about all the take of work and I'm not 1608 01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:42,400 Speaker 5: going yeah, yeah, and there. You know, it's really, you know, 1609 01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:45,720 Speaker 5: a fantastic system if you can even find one. My 1610 01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:49,280 Speaker 5: husband to find one. And the waiting lists are really long. 1611 01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:54,120 Speaker 2: You know, people who use it tend to because the 1612 01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,599 Speaker 2: the reviews of those who are on the Affordable Care 1613 01:13:56,640 --> 01:14:01,120 Speaker 2: Act enjoy enjoy it. It gets very very favable reviews, 1614 01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:02,880 Speaker 2: which is gonna be toughly tough to undue because it 1615 01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,920 Speaker 2: is popular with people who use Obamacare, there's no question 1616 01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:09,000 Speaker 2: about it. However, it's the root cause the problem of course, 1617 01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:13,320 Speaker 2: it's subsidy is that people are paying for something, and 1618 01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:16,840 Speaker 2: a lot more money is being wasted because you are 1619 01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:20,559 Speaker 2: basically giving people about your coupon groupon if you well 1620 01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:23,200 Speaker 2: for their healthcare. It's not a cost savings may save 1621 01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:25,679 Speaker 2: you personally, and you don't care about everybody else obviously, 1622 01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,600 Speaker 2: because it's your healthcare and it's cheaper, but it's it's subsidies. 1623 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:30,920 Speaker 2: The problem here, how do we eliminate all that. It's 1624 01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:32,920 Speaker 2: almost impossible to eliminate subsidy, isn't it. 1625 01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:37,120 Speaker 5: Well, I think, well, first of all, we have subsidies 1626 01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:39,960 Speaker 5: on top of subsidies. We just didn't approve one round 1627 01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:43,720 Speaker 5: of subsidies, which everyone is calling the COVID subsidies, but 1628 01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:48,480 Speaker 5: it is still like heavily subsidized. It is still subsized 1629 01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:51,599 Speaker 5: for anybody who thinks that the subsidies, that was just 1630 01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:56,600 Speaker 5: another layer of subsidies. So I think that you know, 1631 01:14:56,640 --> 01:15:01,040 Speaker 5: a lot of people will often say, oh, let's repeal Obamacare, 1632 01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,800 Speaker 5: and I actually don't think at this point that is 1633 01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:06,880 Speaker 5: the answer. I think the answer is to put forth 1634 01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:11,280 Speaker 5: other ideas and create more opportunity for patients. And that's 1635 01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:12,960 Speaker 5: why I'm a part of a program club Fund the 1636 01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:19,080 Speaker 5: Patient and giving those more, giving more opportunities I think 1637 01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:23,520 Speaker 5: will open up the options for patients and perhaps Obamacare, 1638 01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:28,519 Speaker 5: which Obamasair was created, and I as the founder of 1639 01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:34,439 Speaker 5: Patients Rising, we have many patients who need insurance like 1640 01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:37,840 Speaker 5: Obamacare that's no pre existing conditions, all of those things, 1641 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,920 Speaker 5: and it's you know, they they they love their Obamacare, 1642 01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:43,120 Speaker 5: they love their aciation, and they don't want to They 1643 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,680 Speaker 5: don't want to have that go away because if there 1644 01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:47,559 Speaker 5: was a time in their life when they couldn't qualify 1645 01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:51,559 Speaker 5: for insurance, so you completely understand that that they still 1646 01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,320 Speaker 5: want that. And I do think that there's going to 1647 01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:57,679 Speaker 5: come to come a moment when we're going to need 1648 01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:02,120 Speaker 5: to really think about how we're going to take care 1649 01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:07,160 Speaker 5: of the most vulnerable in our systems, that need medications, 1650 01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:10,200 Speaker 5: that need health insurance on a monthly basis, not just 1651 01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:13,439 Speaker 5: an annual basis. Right what are what are those high 1652 01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,880 Speaker 5: risk schools look like? And is that some form of Obamacare? 1653 01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:19,800 Speaker 5: I don't know, right, I don't know yet. I think 1654 01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:23,439 Speaker 5: we don't have enough options right now. Our options are 1655 01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:27,320 Speaker 5: employer spocket plans, which is most people in the country, 1656 01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:31,439 Speaker 5: you know, our employer squonsor plants, but even employers are 1657 01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:35,519 Speaker 5: getting completed you know, even they're covering less and people 1658 01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:39,040 Speaker 5: are paying more out of the patient for their health insurance. 1659 01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:43,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, no question, And it's hitting. It's all tens, all hard. 1660 01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:45,080 Speaker 2: And the problem is it's like there's no impetus for 1661 01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,760 Speaker 2: Congress to do anything. I mean, I mentioned what we 1662 01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:50,040 Speaker 2: focus on, what the national attention is right now, and 1663 01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,120 Speaker 2: it's all, you know, feel good nonsense. What are you 1664 01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:56,559 Speaker 2: doing about healthcare? And I think that people like like 1665 01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:59,439 Speaker 2: Green for example, she is upset that we're not focusing 1666 01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:02,000 Speaker 2: on the people's opposed to foreign intervention, which makes a 1667 01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:03,960 Speaker 2: lot of sense because that's not what Trump campaigned on. 1668 01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:06,040 Speaker 2: For sure, a lot of Maggie is starting to look 1669 01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:07,599 Speaker 2: at it go a wait, what about us? What about 1670 01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:09,800 Speaker 2: making America great again? I hear all this nonsense from 1671 01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:13,160 Speaker 2: other countries and it just a lot of it is confusing. 1672 01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:13,599 Speaker 1: For sure. 1673 01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:15,360 Speaker 2: In the core of this whole thing for all of 1674 01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:17,080 Speaker 2: us is healthcare. There's a lot of things we can 1675 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:20,479 Speaker 2: focus on with our wallets, but healthcare impacts all of us. 1676 01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:23,000 Speaker 2: And you know, certainly Obamacare, as many people like it, 1677 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:25,559 Speaker 2: it doesn't work because it's predicated on young people buying 1678 01:17:25,560 --> 01:17:27,960 Speaker 2: insurance that can't afford it. So they're not going to 1679 01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:30,160 Speaker 2: buy it because they're not using it, So that weakens 1680 01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,120 Speaker 2: the system. When we got to subsidize it, it was 1681 01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:34,200 Speaker 2: broken from the minute they signed this in the law. 1682 01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:37,200 Speaker 2: And now we're also the other end of this thing too, 1683 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:39,519 Speaker 2: when it comes to those in Congress who aren't doing 1684 01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:43,000 Speaker 2: anything about this, is the fact that the lobby groups 1685 01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:44,639 Speaker 2: are getting to them and paying them off. I mean, 1686 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:49,320 Speaker 2: we could do a widespread direct primary care, which I love. 1687 01:17:49,680 --> 01:17:51,600 Speaker 2: Direct pric cameric care means, you know, you cut the 1688 01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:53,479 Speaker 2: insurance companies out of it and you just pay your 1689 01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:56,360 Speaker 2: doctor directly, and it's much much cheaper because all the 1690 01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:59,240 Speaker 2: fat is taken out. So if you know, borring some 1691 01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:03,040 Speaker 2: sort of serious critical, debilitating illness, catastrophic illness, you simply 1692 01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:04,720 Speaker 2: go to your doctor for I don't know, it's like 1693 01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:07,400 Speaker 2: fifty bucks a month, and you get prescriptions. You get 1694 01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:10,120 Speaker 2: pretty much care when you want it. Everyone's happened. The 1695 01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:13,040 Speaker 2: doctor gets cash, you pay out of pocket. And yet 1696 01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:16,160 Speaker 2: that's being blocked, isn't it. 1697 01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:20,760 Speaker 5: It's absolutely being blocked. I mean there's people don't want 1698 01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:23,840 Speaker 5: patients to have control of these dollars. Look, we spend 1699 01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:27,880 Speaker 5: more than any country in the world on healthcare. The 1700 01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:31,479 Speaker 5: problem isn't underfunding. It's that money flows through layers of 1701 01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:36,000 Speaker 5: institutions and middlemen before it ever gets to the patient, 1702 01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,080 Speaker 5: and that this is turning that on its head. And 1703 01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:42,479 Speaker 5: this was in President Trump's Great American health Care Plan. 1704 01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:45,479 Speaker 5: It's what fund the patients cans for. It's like, let's 1705 01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:48,080 Speaker 5: get rid of that and let's try something a different way. 1706 01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:51,840 Speaker 5: Let's give money directly to patients and let them make 1707 01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,880 Speaker 5: decisions for their health care, whether it's direct primary care, 1708 01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:58,440 Speaker 5: whether it's whatever it is that they want to want 1709 01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:00,720 Speaker 5: to do what's best for their family, what's best in 1710 01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,400 Speaker 5: their region. I always say healthcare is local. It's actually 1711 01:19:03,439 --> 01:19:05,880 Speaker 5: not an action. I mean, generally we take care of 1712 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:08,960 Speaker 5: a lot of it, but it's actually a local it's 1713 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:12,519 Speaker 5: your health care practice, in your where you can go 1714 01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:15,640 Speaker 5: to receive health care. It's all local. So you know, 1715 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:19,120 Speaker 5: right now, patients are locked out of the system. Healthcare 1716 01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:21,799 Speaker 5: is the only major purchase in America where the person 1717 01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,280 Speaker 5: paying and the person receiving the service often have no 1718 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:28,320 Speaker 5: idea what anything costs. Right now, that's not a market, Scott, 1719 01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:32,880 Speaker 5: that's a main right. So we need to patients need 1720 01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:36,040 Speaker 5: to become the CEO of their healthcare loof, We've had 1721 01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:39,760 Speaker 5: a very passive system for a while. Right, For a 1722 01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:41,800 Speaker 5: long time, it was like you remember this, you could 1723 01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:43,200 Speaker 5: get your health insurance and you would go to the 1724 01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:45,320 Speaker 5: counter at the pharmacy country and be like five bucks 1725 01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:48,160 Speaker 5: for generic, twenty five bucks for pre game brand. Well, 1726 01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:51,280 Speaker 5: we're not there anymore. First of all, innovation has transformed 1727 01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:54,240 Speaker 5: in the types of medications and the degree of medications 1728 01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,120 Speaker 5: that we you know, the biologics and all the things 1729 01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:59,360 Speaker 5: that come on the market. They're much more expensive than 1730 01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:03,080 Speaker 5: the you know, main brands of the nineties, right a 1731 01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:06,280 Speaker 5: lot of times, so I think we really have to 1732 01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:10,160 Speaker 5: put patients back and chalk and that's you know right now, 1733 01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:13,639 Speaker 5: we've got consolidation, like we talked about early with possibles 1734 01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:19,360 Speaker 5: crushing competition. Yeah, there's a lot to be done, and 1735 01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:22,360 Speaker 5: there's a lot of Congress can do just by opening 1736 01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:28,120 Speaker 5: up the ability to have choice. She is do anything drastic? 1737 01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:32,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Yeah, choice reduces price. But as much as 1738 01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:36,479 Speaker 2: in this case Republicans scream about it or Democrats with 1739 01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:39,840 Speaker 2: the Obamacare, which is a really choice, nothing is getting done. 1740 01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:43,599 Speaker 2: So Terry Wilcox with fund the Patient Patient advocacy grew 1741 01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:47,120 Speaker 2: up're talking about, obviously, the healthcare crisis that Republicans and 1742 01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:49,240 Speaker 2: Democrats don't seem to be addressing. Now, Trump did come 1743 01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:50,800 Speaker 2: out and roll out trump a RAX and there's some 1744 01:20:50,840 --> 01:20:53,040 Speaker 2: other things. Does that really move the needle all that much? 1745 01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:56,240 Speaker 2: I mean, the idea that we're going to use our 1746 01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:58,320 Speaker 2: HSA cards going, yeah, we're gonna put money in your 1747 01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:00,280 Speaker 2: HSA account and you can go out and shop. But 1748 01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:03,000 Speaker 2: does that actually alleviate where we're talking about You're just 1749 01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:05,719 Speaker 2: going to wind up because if it's so bloated and inflated, 1750 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:07,800 Speaker 2: you're just going to take the little money you have 1751 01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,479 Speaker 2: and continue to throw it into companies that have a 1752 01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:11,639 Speaker 2: lot of waste, fraud abuse. 1753 01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:17,840 Speaker 5: I mean, it's a good question, what you know. I 1754 01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:19,760 Speaker 5: think one of the things that we have to think 1755 01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:24,679 Speaker 5: about is you can't just then say your only option 1756 01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:28,280 Speaker 5: is this one kind of plan. I think one of 1757 01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:30,280 Speaker 5: the things that has to be done is not just 1758 01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:36,200 Speaker 5: not dismantling Obamacare, in my opinions, but creating other options 1759 01:21:36,200 --> 01:21:38,280 Speaker 5: so that there's other types of plans out there that 1760 01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:43,120 Speaker 5: there are actually you know, catastrophic plans of yesteryear that 1761 01:21:43,160 --> 01:21:46,040 Speaker 5: are beyond a few months right, that people can make 1762 01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:50,200 Speaker 5: that choice, that people can, like you said, get direct 1763 01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,639 Speaker 5: primary care, other types of health care that they deal 1764 01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:55,439 Speaker 5: is best for their families and make those decisions. I 1765 01:21:55,479 --> 01:22:00,360 Speaker 5: think one patients are in control of their healthcare dollar orders, 1766 01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:04,240 Speaker 5: that that will open up more competition. I don't think 1767 01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:06,960 Speaker 5: we know the full answer to what that is, and 1768 01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,640 Speaker 5: I think we have to, you know, step out a 1769 01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:11,880 Speaker 5: little bit and trust the people. Even if it's the 1770 01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:14,760 Speaker 5: pilot program. We're going to try this. Let's see how 1771 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,960 Speaker 5: this moves the needle. Yeah, I don't think that you 1772 01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:22,280 Speaker 5: don't get something that's floated over decades and change it over. 1773 01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:26,320 Speaker 5: And we all know anything having to do with government 1774 01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,240 Speaker 5: is not going to change overnight, right, So how can 1775 01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:33,160 Speaker 5: we take steps to move in the right direction to 1776 01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:34,559 Speaker 5: give patients more agency? 1777 01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:36,800 Speaker 2: And I don't know if we will, because Alan said 1778 01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:38,439 Speaker 2: the easiest thing to do is your Congress will go 1779 01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:41,040 Speaker 2: Look from now on, you can't you know, employer can't 1780 01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:42,920 Speaker 2: give you healthcare, and now we all people who have 1781 01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:45,040 Speaker 2: it less seemingly like it. I know ours is great 1782 01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:46,880 Speaker 2: and I certainly won't want to give it up. But 1783 01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:48,760 Speaker 2: the only way to wipe all this stuff out is 1784 01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:50,920 Speaker 2: say you know, government's out of outside of medicaid, but 1785 01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:54,000 Speaker 2: you know, government insurance companies go buy it like you 1786 01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:56,240 Speaker 2: buy your homeowners, your car insurance and everything else in 1787 01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,679 Speaker 2: the free market. Uh, And there'll be enough savings left 1788 01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,360 Speaker 2: over from the bloat to fly people who can't afford that. 1789 01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:04,400 Speaker 2: And the system is private because you're going to buy 1790 01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:06,280 Speaker 2: it with your own money. But then there's subsidy for 1791 01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:10,080 Speaker 2: those folks who can't. And that would seemingly work, but 1792 01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:12,599 Speaker 2: the problem is that the administrative state continues to grow. 1793 01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:14,719 Speaker 1: And I mentioned lobbyists though. 1794 01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:16,519 Speaker 2: And you know, it's the reason why they won't allow 1795 01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,800 Speaker 2: direct primary care is because the insurance lobby is so 1796 01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 2: so fat and happy throwing money at politicians who don't 1797 01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:23,360 Speaker 2: want to change in it. And I don't care if 1798 01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:25,680 Speaker 2: you're a Democrat or Republican. That's what it feels like 1799 01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:27,479 Speaker 2: to me. And meanwhile, it's like, oh, here's some money 1800 01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:30,599 Speaker 2: for ahs. Ain't great. I'm getting fifty bucks a month, 1801 01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:32,760 Speaker 2: but the price of insurance has costing me like three 1802 01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:35,120 Speaker 2: hundred dollars a month. The math does a math for 1803 01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:37,280 Speaker 2: working people well. 1804 01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:41,040 Speaker 5: And I also think that I do think employers are 1805 01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:45,960 Speaker 5: at a breaking point. I do actually think that the employers, 1806 01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:48,680 Speaker 5: even the big, even the large ones. I mean, if 1807 01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:53,960 Speaker 5: you basically said, let's take you know, a portion of 1808 01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,719 Speaker 5: that many because like, look, the average family of cod 1809 01:23:56,840 --> 01:24:01,160 Speaker 5: at a corporation is paying it's twenty seven thousand dollars 1810 01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:05,880 Speaker 5: a year for their employee and their thousands to kiss 1811 01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:09,360 Speaker 5: or whatever the pat is. Right, that's a lot of money. 1812 01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:13,040 Speaker 5: You know, that's a lot of wage money. So what 1813 01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:15,360 Speaker 5: if they took that and said, Okay, we're going to 1814 01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:18,960 Speaker 5: put this amount of money into a some kind of 1815 01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:24,880 Speaker 5: special employer HSA or employer account where you you go 1816 01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:28,400 Speaker 5: choose it. Because I do always I am a firm 1817 01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:32,519 Speaker 5: believer that the healthcare plan, whatever it is, should follow 1818 01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:35,720 Speaker 5: the patient. I do not think that my I do 1819 01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:39,439 Speaker 5: not want my employer in charge of what plan I 1820 01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:42,080 Speaker 5: pick or what it is, how much it costs. I 1821 01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:46,160 Speaker 5: would rather have the money and shop. And it's because 1822 01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:50,120 Speaker 5: prices are hidden from patient. It's because patients don't have 1823 01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:53,040 Speaker 5: to say that the pricing is so bloated and out 1824 01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:53,559 Speaker 5: of control. 1825 01:24:54,320 --> 01:24:57,200 Speaker 1: Great, I think, and I think there's another important point here. 1826 01:24:57,240 --> 01:24:59,519 Speaker 2: I'll leave it at this Terry, and that is that 1827 01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:01,719 Speaker 2: now we live in a gig economy. You know, people 1828 01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:04,040 Speaker 2: are are side hustle and side hustle to become main hustles, 1829 01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:06,639 Speaker 2: and the side hustles have side hustles. Now, imagine if 1830 01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:09,080 Speaker 2: you could get your own insurance and do all that, 1831 01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:12,840 Speaker 2: I mean what the economy would explode because people aren't 1832 01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:14,840 Speaker 2: tied to one job now where they get an or 1833 01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:17,280 Speaker 2: one spouse gets health insurance. If you could take it 1834 01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:20,360 Speaker 2: with you, uh, the gig economy would be on steroids. 1835 01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:23,080 Speaker 2: It would totally reinvent the American economy. But again, it's 1836 01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:25,920 Speaker 2: all that lobby money, the insurance money, the hospital money 1837 01:25:26,240 --> 01:25:28,240 Speaker 2: that's keeping us where we are and keeping it stagnant. 1838 01:25:28,320 --> 01:25:31,040 Speaker 2: Terry Wilcox the founder, co founder, in chief mission officer 1839 01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:34,280 Speaker 2: and Patients Rising.

Terry, thanks again, thank you. 1841 01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:40,280 Speaker 2: You want to hope it changes, but the reality is 1842 01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:43,240 Speaker 2: is it really going to change?
