WEBVTT - 2-13-26 Scott Sloan Show 0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:06.960 Friday mornings here Scott Sloan on seven hundred WLW, so 0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:08.559 this week and you're probably gonna spend a lot more 0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:10.639 time in front of devices than you do during the week, 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:13.400 right just because you're not working hopefully and you yourself. 0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:16.400 On average, you have around twenty one devices which are 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:19.520 online in various places throughout the day, all of them 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.760 using data pretty much all the time. And with the 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:24.720 AI boom comes the need for more data centers. Thus 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.120 the debate so here in the Tri State, the debate 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:29.479 over regulations being fought tooth and nail. And if you 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:33.160 don't think this affects you, it's probably coming to your area, 0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:34.560 no matter if you live in the city or in 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.559 the outlining area special rural areas Ohio. Right now we're 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.159 fifth nationally for data center development. We want to be 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:44.360 number one. The state. ESUS is an economic machine force 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:47.239 to get us on the technology well at the top 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.879 of the technology map. I guess City of Cincinnati's you 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.319 may or may not know, it's getting very proactive. They 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:55.200 just put a temporary moratorium on data centers in the 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.240 city while they do a zoning study. Adams County. Last 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.480 night there was another meeting over well, we really don't know. 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.920 This is probably the most interesting battle over data centers 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.039 is that adding the controversy over these plants comes a 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.160 plan here in Adams County that's completely secret because Economic 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.000 Development director signed a non disclosure y agreement and nobody 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:18.760 really knows what it's going to be, where it's going 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.280 to go, and what it's going to do. Other than that, 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.399 everything's great. Alex shafers here, Alex is a resident and 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.720 he's proactive in the process of finding out if this 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.080 is right for his community, and he's out in Adams 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.320 County and the Monroe Township and joins the show this morning. Alex, welcome, 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:40.920 are you brother? Yeah, good to have you. So last 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:42.960 night there was a meeting and I know basically the 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.319 bottom line is you're not going to do a more 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.400 toim like City Cincinnati has, but you're going to make 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.080 sure there's some strict zoning regulations in place. So it's 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:52.760 it's progressing, it's moving forward. 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.480 It's progressing, it's moving forward. There's a lot of community 0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.640 input last night, and essentially the role of the trustees 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.560 now within the township is they are going to work 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:07.080 with outside legal counsel to put in the framework for zoning, 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.360 you know, within these industrial areas within the township, because 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.359 everybody was on the same page where we have to 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.000 get more information, we have to have more facts, and 0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:21.320 more importantly, we have to know even who these people 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.079 are that are wanting to come in and what they're 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:23.680 wanting to do. 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.920 Yeah, so what raised the red flags for you about 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:30.160 these projects and what motive motivated you to get involved. 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.160 You know, these sites at Stewart and Killing Station, Killing 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.919 is in and Roe Township have been empty for roughly 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.200 eight years since the power plant shut down, and a 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:41.960 lot of that has to do with the site cleanup. 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:46.560 And those were the economic drivers of our county, and 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.880 Adams County is such a prideful, beautiful countryside, but those 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:56.320 were the economic drivers that really our community was built around. 0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:01.040 So it is these are general generational issues that we 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.320 have in our county and we want to make sure 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:06.440 that we're doing the right things. So not only us, 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.400 but our children and our grandchildren are proud to continue 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:10.919 to live and remain in Adams County. 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.320 So this isn't completely going. Hey, we don't want a 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.079 data center, we don't want any of this stuff. Stay 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:15.960 the hell out of our town. 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:21.200 No, I would say everyone is of the mindset where 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:24.360 as I would akin these NDAs too that mister Worley 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:28.120 signed is you're essentially agreen to get married before you've 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.360 even seen who you're going on a date with. So 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.120 you know, we need to have more facts, and we 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.120 need to know exactly who these companies are. Are they 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:40.120 are they you know, companies based in the US, so 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:44.320 are they foreign based companies? And you know what exactly 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.280 the plans are because there's so many different variables that 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:47.920 come into play. 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:52.440 And I think that's a critical point because in this 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.800 particular case, and we'll get into the NDA battle in 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.680 just a second. And Paul Worley, I believe is the 0:03:56.680 --> 0:04:00.520 Economic Development director for Adams County, he signed out with 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.920 a company. But you guys have no idea on you know, 0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:05.920 the size and scope of the project, the exact location. 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:07.720 I mean, you could kind of figure that out maybe 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.960 with EPA records, but if you don't know the company, 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:12.480 you don't know even if it's a data center or 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.600 the type of services they offer before this thing goes in. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:21.000 So the projects that are being proposed in Spring Township 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.760 are a little bit further along, specifically, at Stewart seite, 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.880 and there's also Buck Canyon site which is across the 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.680 road too soon in Row is very much earlier on 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:36.760 in the process, which is very fortunate. And so that's 0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:39.680 precisely it. You know, we we have to have more 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:43.400 information on this because they're I mean, it's just it's 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:44.960 a black hole right now for the county. 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.280 Okay, So the Economic Development director signs this non disclosure 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.480 agreement with a couple of companies and says, we've got 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.120 to do this and they'll be transparency if the project 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:55.760 gets to a point. So, you know, how do you 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:57.960 respond to residents like yourself being asked to wait for 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.760 details until the deals are newly finalized. What point is 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:02.520 it too late for meaningful public input? 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:06.920 I think that starts at the time that you actually 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:11.000 signed the NDAs. You know, Paul Whorley executed two NDAs, 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.880 one in January of twenty twenty four, the other one 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:17.359 was in November of this year, and based on my 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.840 tracing them, it's my opinion that they are linked to 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:25.960 Amazon because the framework around the NDAs is the same 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:27.919 as what's going on in Mount War right now in 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.320 Brown County. And you know, to that point, and I 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.640 had raised this issue in discussions with some of the 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.720 commissioners on Monday. Is Paul Worley serves at the pleasure 0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.680 of the Board of Commissioners in Adams County. So how 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:46.360 is the Board of Commissioners able to oversee Paul discharging 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:49.320 his job duties for the board and thus in the 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.600 best interest of the county if they cannot even monitor 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.800 what he is working on. Who is who he is 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:57.479 working with on these sites? 0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:01.160 Sure, but from the company standpoint, be it Amazon or 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.000 whatever it might be, we don't know. At this point. 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.360 He's kind of like the conduit. So in these deals, 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.719 you get a guy like him, an economic development guy, 0:06:07.760 --> 0:06:11.080 signs a non disclosure agreement with whoever's building this thing, 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.960 which is kind of standard practice because you know, they 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.680 want to keep the secret for as long as pass 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:19.200 from the competition because there's a lot of proprietary technical 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.240 information of all. But the people who don't sign it 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.640 would be the the elected lawmakers, right that would be 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.800 the county commissioners of Adams County. And so at some 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.359 point there's going to have to be a you know, 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.680 disclosure so that you can you can vote on this. 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.760 So based on that is this anything? Is this? Is 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.880 this different than how it's done elsewhere? Not that it 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.400 makes it right, but you know what I'm saying is like, 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.960 if this is standard practice, I get why Amazon or 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.400 whoever is trying to protect their interests here because you know, 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.200 you don't want all this information out there until you 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:47.800 get a deal kind of put together. 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.680 The debate on whether NDA is a standard practice or 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.520 not really dependent on who you ask. I can tell 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.160 you in certain areas and Columbus, which Columbus has over 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.200 one hundred data centers right now, is not the most 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:05.800 standard practice. And to your point about competition, that is 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:10.160 actually what NDAs specifically inhibit. My degree is in economics 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:13.760 from Ohio State University, and when you put an NDA 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:18.080 in place, that prohibits you from even looking at other 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:23.120 alternatives as to those sites and those developments, thus reducing competition. 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.160 What happens when you reduce competition, you harm the consumer. 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:28.480 Who's the consumer here, the residents of Adams County. 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.560 Yeah, and I get the argument, and you guys, you 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.440 definitely should have a hand in the process here. We 0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:35.560 don't want government just going out. No, we know what's best, 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:39.160 and that's it doesn't work that way, county officials there 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.400 will switch to the jobs saying, they said, well, seven 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.880 hundred seven hundred jobs lost with the power plant closures 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.200 there in Adams County. Another five and a half million 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.120 from a school funding gets pulled off because as they said, look, 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.440 I've got hey, listen, this is going to help support 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.880 the tax space here. But as I understand it, data 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.080 centers are obviously exempt from property taxes because it's commercial. 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.800 What about the job creation now, So. 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:05.240 Job creation, the studies have shown that you have to 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.560 have roughly twenty million dollars of capital input costs to 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.160 create one full time job. So if you have a 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.040 billion dollar data center development, you are only going to 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.320 create roughly fifty jobs, Whereas if you look at other 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:24.800 industrial usages for that site that actually provide you know, 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:28.720 not only additional jobs and infrastructure and increase land value 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:34.079 for the community. You are actually specifically targeting a broader workforce, 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.240 the technical skill set of the workforce that we have 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.760 in Adams County. And it's also then benefiting the community 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.640 for people to work there and also the school districts 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:45.840 in terms of the generation of those taxes from the payroll. 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.840 Yeah, well, what about the element of what about then 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:50.920 this is you know, the t love the trades, but 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.720 there's been like over a thousand, around one thousand construction 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.120 jobs for up to five years, and some of those 0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:57.880 would have to be in place for maintenance because a 0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.720 minute you finished this huge project and to take you 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.160 three years, you're going to start having to refit some 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.960 areas that were done three years ago because it's technology 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.160 to change as rapidly. So some of the estimates say, 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.480 you know, maybe one hundred million plus in local wages, 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.319 one thousand, two thousand workers, eighty percent of those will 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:19.160 be in radius of where you live. Those jobs are 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:20.280 nothing to some of your nose. 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.040 At there are nothing good. 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:22.640 Some of your knows that. 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.120 But I think you have to look at the actual 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.280 data in terms of the payroll. And I've talked about 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.800 this with David Gifford, the county auditor, who's a good 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.560 friend of mine. And you know, when people try and 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.760 say these auxiliary jobs that are created in the permanency 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.960 of them, the numbers simply do not support that in 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.360 the payroll records, and the auditor has that, and I 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.280 think you also overall, with these data centers in the 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.600 job creation, you have to look at what's happening in 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.319 the Greater Columbus area with Intel, where essentially Mike Dwine 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.079 sold the farm to Intel and we had and the 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.120 plants were supposed to open last year, and they were 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:58.719 all these financial incentives and benchmarks that were supposed to 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.040 be met by them. They have not might have the 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:05.280 option to enforce those agreement last year, and he basically said, no, 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:08.200 it's okay. You know, you can do whatever you want 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.160 here in Ohio. So what would make the situation any 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.160 different in appal Asha areas? 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:13.679 And now? 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:16.360 Yeah, But at the same time, you look at it 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.400 and go, are there industries that are are knocking at 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.439 the door and trying to get their way into Adams 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.280 County right now? You know, you mentioned Columbus, Cincinnati, the 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.079 big cities. A lot of companies want to do business 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:28.800 in those areas. It makes a lot of sense for 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.920 reasons we don't The obvious reasons would be infrastructures are 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.520 ready in place. But you know, Adams County I lost jobs, 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.920 power plants. Is it kind of like you're turning your 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:40.400 nose up with a good thing or you're trying to 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:42.839 basically avoid a slam dunk here I mean, I think 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:44.880 people see this and go, well, it's Adams County. It's 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.080 not like and it's not being I'm not being derogatory. 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.079 It's just like, there are in companies that are looking 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:51.040 to knock the door down to Adams County at this point. 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:51.600 Are there. 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.120 No, I would disagree with that. The sites have been 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.920 looked at for a multiple for a multitude of different 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.000 sectors over the years. And again, I think it's important 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.959 for people to remember that once the power plans close, 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.120 it's not like you can just open up, you know, 0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:10.240 a new enterprise there the next day. There's so much 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.560 environmental cleanup the head to be done with King Fisher 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:13.560 Partners to come in. 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:18.040 It's a brownfield, yeah exactly, precisely, yes, yeah, yeah, and 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.200 butt Okay, so there's some infrastructure there, but people are well, well, 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.160 I'd rather build something, you know. At the same time, 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:25.480 you know, these data centers take a lot of power, 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:27.439 so you know, put two and two together, it's pretty 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:29.760 obvious that you want to be near water, which you have, 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.760 and you want to be near you know, megawats of electricity. 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.880 They're easily accessible, correct, And we do have the power 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.720 grid there in place, and you know, this is something 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.200 that a big Ramaswami has discussed about the strain on 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.040 the power grid right now, and there's currently a House 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.600 bill in place, House built six forty six sitting in 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.960 the House Rules Committee in terms of actually setting a 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:55.720 thirteen member commission to study these data centers because of 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.360 the boom of them in Ohio, because of the strain 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:03.240 on our electrical grid. So I kind of akin it 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:05.560 to people as this is, how are we going to 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:09.440 can continue as a society to supply the power and 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:13.280 energy to these data centers because they are not they 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:16.040 are they are an energy input. They are they are 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:20.520 not an energy export if we do not have facilities 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.960 in place to actually generate that power for them. 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:24.760 Yeah, I've talked about this a lot of my show 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:26.640 Well in the Future, And you know, you're in the 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.480 tech sector as well, So it's not like you know, 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.600 your lutt your scrim at the old man, scream at 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.360 the clouds and saying damn computers go away, right, I 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.080 mean you lean we all lean into it. We're all 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:38.120 and it's it's such a paradox, right, Alex, because we're 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.240 all guilty of this. We all have devices. I mean, 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.200 we're talking you know digitally. Right now I'm recording you digitally. 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.200 It's going into a cloud. And so we're guilty of 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.920 this ourselves right now. We have no choice but to 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.679 figure out a way we can all live with us absolutely. 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:57.720 And you know, my company uses you know, cloud servers, 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.000 and you know, we have to have them as socide 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.160 and we have to have them also in terms of 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:07.760 national intelligence and also being independent from you know, foreign control. 0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:09.959 And I think we all saw what happened with COVID 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:13.080 when manufacturing shut down and the rest of the world 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:14.760 look that, you know, Oh my god, look how the 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:18.880 pendent we are upon China. So you know, that is definitely, 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.440 you know, a great point. And that's the thing I 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:24.800 think everyone's standpoint is we are not saying no to 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:29.520 data centers overall, but in terms of specifically the locations 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:33.240 and the phases in which you possibly would put those 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.920 in and where you would put those in at is 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.760 what the biggest concern is with not having any information 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:39.760 from these companies. 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.320 The number one of the biggest outside of transparency the 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.480 politics of it, which generally they tend to settle down 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.280 at some point. What's the biggest concern for residents would 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:50.640 you say there Alex Schaeffer and Adam's count over this. 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.200 I would say specifically where they're proposing it is, you know, 0:13:55.559 --> 0:14:00.000 the landscape in you know, the southern part of Adams County, 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.760 the hills and the river and everything is what makes 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:08.360 Adams County beautiful. And also, you know, you know, the 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.280 side effects that you have from the data center's long 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.760 term is something that again we don't know about. So 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.880 if the state is at the process to where they're 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:20.479 looking at creating a thirteen member committee to study those effects, 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:24.080 then us as Adams County should sit here and look 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.120 at it and say, okay, if this is a broader 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:30.080 issue at the state and obviously the national level, you know, 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.640 we don't have the ability as a small community to 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.160 fight this later on down the road. So we don't 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.200 want to make the wrong decision now that we look 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.400 back ten years and we're like, what did. 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.680 We do right? It's hard because you know, you're at 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.000 the tip of the spirit at this point. There are 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.320 not many other piers you can look at that have 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.040 been doing this for you twenty years and see what 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:49.840 the long term effects are. You got to make a 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.119 decision that's going to impact the next hundred exactly. 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.440 And you know that's that's honestly the problem in society 0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.600 with a lot of things, whether that's technology or medicine, 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:03.800 and you know, we have to continue to evolve and adapt. 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.080 Yeah, there are unforeseen consequences that no one can predict. 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.560 And usually that's the case, we didn't we didn't think 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:11.440 of that, or we didn't see that coming. Because while 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.320 the world is always changing, for sure, so are the 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:15.080 next steps here. 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:20.119 So from around township right now, they're in the process 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.880 of obtaining outside legal councils start trapped in the framework 0:15:24.720 --> 0:15:28.000 for what they want to put in for zoning. Specifically 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:32.480 their sprig Sprig Township has a meeting I believe it 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.880 is February twenty third, and there there is going to 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:40.160 be some more information hopefully that'll come out about at 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:43.920 that standpoint. And so overall for the county, the commissioners 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:48.520 have promised to have more public input and a more 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:52.320 dedicated special meeting to this. But again I think it's 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.440 very important to point out, you know, in terms of 0:15:55.440 --> 0:16:00.200 these developments, the Board of Commissioners has the option and 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:05.520 to direct mister Warley to recuse himself from these NDAs 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:08.960 and that prevents these companies moving forward with the speed 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:12.480 that they would like and garner that public input and 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:15.600 have these representatives come in and talk to the community, 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.640 talk to us about what their plans are and how 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:22.480 they want to integrate themselves into our county in a 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.040 way that we're proud of, just like General Electric has 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.000 done with their jet engine testing facility in. 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.920 People makes sense, you think Cincinnata has it right putting 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:30.680 the moratory monus. 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.640 It did, I do, and several other townships and Columbus 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.560 have done that. Jerome Township, Washington Township, and the City 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.760 of Dublin have done that. And they have data centers 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.600 kind of around the perimeter of the City of Dublin. 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.560 And because you know right now it's an arms race 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:50.200 for data centers, it truly is, and that stems from, 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.280 I believe, you know, a technological arms race with China. 0:16:53.440 --> 0:16:56.800 So again, in order for us to properly look at 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.840 this for our future, and look at the side effects, 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:03.840 and look at where we want to see these things 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:08.720 in the landscape of our communities, we have to put 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:13.000 the pause button in place, get more information, get more facts, 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.880 and surely be able to make candidly a more educated 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:17.920 and informed decision. 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.840 Alex Schaeffer is a residence in Adams County and it's 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.280 certainly one of the more interesting cases because of NDAs 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:27.240 and land and not knowing what really is going to 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:29.480 go and who even owns the data center for that point. 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.199 But it's a great example to look at for the 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.840 rest of us because Alex, as a resident is getting involved. 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.280 He's being proactive in the process of finding out if 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.160 it's right for his community and where he lives and breathes, 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.960 he eats, and works. And that's a battles you hearing 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:45.040 this's going well, that's Adams County, but guess what it's 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:48.240 happening in Cincy. It's going to happen in not only 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.919 the city, but it's going to happen in maybe suburban areas, 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.440 but particularly rural areas, Butler County, Mount Orb. The list 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:56.879 goes on and on and on. So it's a battle 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:58.240 we're all going to have to face, or an issue 0:17:58.240 --> 0:17:59.560 we're going to have to face, I guess, and figure 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:01.879 out how to to what the best practice is that 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:03.600 it's not going away, We're going to have to put 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.640 them somewhere. How do we coexist? I guess is a question. 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.080 It's a great case, Alex. We'll talk again in the future, 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:09.440 I'm sure. 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:09.640 Man. 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:13.280 Thanks for coming on and shedding some light on this issue. 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.720 Absolutely, and Scott, you know on behalf of the people 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:19.960 of Adams County. Thank you for having me on to 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:24.040 allow us to raise our voice on your platform into 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.719 the greater Tri State area. We are truly and greatly 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:27.520 appreciative of all. 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.680 I appreciate you, brother, and again we'll talk soon. Thanks again, 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:33.480 Thanks Scott. All right, there you go, Alex Schaeffer on 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:36.000 the show. Yeah you hear that, you go. It doesn't really, 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.600 it doesn't concern it, does it concerned? We're the ones 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:41.639 doing it right. We use all this stuff as far 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.240 as information goes in data. We're using it right now. 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.240 You're using it right and we're all using it. We 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:48.920 have no choice. This is it is what it is. 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:51.560 It's the future too. So can we lean and make 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:54.840 money and make Ohio a more vibrant and improve our 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.760 economy because of Intel, because of AWS et cetera, et cetera. 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.760 But we also have to live where these plans are too. 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:04.520 So watching these guys, I think it's a great test 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:05.640 case for all of us. If you Will. 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.160 Anyway, We'll continue to follow that. Scott's Loan Show continues 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:09.200 seven hundred WW. 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:17.520 Now a man who has entertainment reporting, of course through 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:23.080 his veins, which makes him a medical opity. He is ABC. 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:24.960 Will Gans from New York. 0:19:25.280 --> 0:19:34.800 Hey, Will, good morning, Good morning. That sounded ominous. Good morning, Yeah, yeah, 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:36.880 you want to try it again? Three two one, Good 0:19:36.880 --> 0:19:37.520 morning Will. 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:39.640 Hello. 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.359 Oh my god, what a Friday morning to be speaking 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:42.840 with you. 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:46.560 You're such a phony. 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:51.360 I you ask I deliver. You said more energy and I. 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.640 Hit the accelerator, or you just sound like I don't 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:56.520 know your cat got run over by a dog. All right, 0:19:56.840 --> 0:19:59.120 so let's shuh, I get mad. I don't know if 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:01.359 this is uh for telling exactly what we're going to 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:03.560 talk about. Maybe there's just nothing good on to watch 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:05.720 this weekend. We're kind of lulled. 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:05.879 Now. 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:08.840 You've got a little college basketball going on, you know, 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.760 Baseball hasn't started yet, so it's kind of post Super Bowl, 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:13.320 and so like, okay, I want to catch up some 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:16.760 shows here. This one jumped out at me and I'm 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.760 not sure I want to get into it. And it's 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:22.399 on HBO Max and it has to do with the 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:25.560 world's worst neighbors and it's a documentary. 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:28.520 Yeah, so it's a docu series. 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:32.719 Each episode focuses on a few different pairings of the 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:36.800 worst neighbors in the country. And so whether it is 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:38.399 a guy from the city who moved out to the 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:40.840 country and pisses off his neighbors because he put up 0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.600 a fence and now the horses can't run the same 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:47.000 way that they used to, or it is folks down 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.920 in the Panhandle of Florida who some of them think 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:54.240 that you know, private beach, you know, private property extends 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:55.760 all the way down to the water at the beach, 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:57.959 and other people think, no, I can sit here with 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:02.159 my family and set up and a blanket and lounge 0:21:02.200 --> 0:21:04.919 for the day. So it's all these different pairings of 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:07.879 people that are just in crazy disputes. 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:10.080 They hate each other's guts. 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:14.400 And it I mean, it is equal parts funny, aggravating, 0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:18.560 sad sometimes. But like my main takeaway when I finished 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.400 the first episode was like, oh my god, I've never 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.000 been more grateful for my own neighbor. 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:26.520 I think that's what it is. It's my old analogy 0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:29.200 about cops. It's like, why would you watch that? It's 0:21:29.240 --> 0:21:31.480 because no matter how jacked up your family and your 0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:33.960 life is at least you're not on that show. And 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:36.320 if you're featured on that show, kill yourself. 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.560 Yeah, it's a reminder that it could always be worse. 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:43.720 Whatever it is, it could be worse. 0:21:43.840 --> 0:21:46.480 Yeah, don't know what that dynamic is, but it sounds 0:21:46.520 --> 0:21:48.280 a lot like that, Like, well, my neighbor's kind of 0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:49.639 a jerk, you know, because he makes a lot of 0:21:49.680 --> 0:21:51.320 but at least he's not doing. 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:54.200 This exactly exactly. 0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:57.280 At least he's not on TikTok, you know, posting videos 0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.720 of how, you know, me and my wife look in 0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:01.919 the front yard or whatever like, and that's what some 0:22:02.000 --> 0:22:03.080 of these people are doing. 0:22:03.160 --> 0:22:05.520 It's just it's crazy. 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:09.200 Well because that's a whole category on you know, YouTube TikTok. 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:12.760 And said, insert these photos, these these videos of neighbors 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:14.880 who are out of their minds apparently, but every things 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:17.160 out of context. At least this has some context, I would. 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:20.639 Think, right right this you get the full story. 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:23.440 It's like we, you know, my husband and wife moved 0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:25.680 here for you know, my wife and I moved here 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.480 from you know, Seattle, and we just wanted a little 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:30.240 more space and all of a sudden, the neighbors. 0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:30.480 You know. 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:33.680 Yeah, so this you get a backstory, You get both 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:36.240 sides of the story, which is pretty interesting. 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:38.280 You know that one of the things about this too. 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.520 I'm always like, I can't believe everybody signs up to 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:42.600 be a part of this, right, you know, like really, 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:44.120 but but they do. 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:46.280 Yeah, I don't know. There was one on I think 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:49.080 it was Netflix, and help me. I forget the name, 0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:50.160 and you may recall it. 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:53.280 It was. It was in Florida. Everything good is Florida, Florida, 0:22:53.320 --> 0:22:55.959 and this this woman, this older woman, just angry at 0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.479 the world. And the kids would play like in an 0:22:58.480 --> 0:23:00.399 open lot next to her house and make noise, and 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:02.560 then she would document and like take their stuff and 0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:05.400 threaten them and and uh, you know, at one point 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:07.520 a mom went over because she was like physically touching 0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:09.840 the kid or did something, took their iPad and threw 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:11.720 it or something like that. I mean, their kids, they're 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:14.120 playing football or whatever, and I'd rather have that than them, 0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:17.320 you know, doing bad stuff. Anyway, she feels like they're 0:23:17.359 --> 0:23:19.439 walking on her property and she's got lines up in 0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:21.240 the camera and the whole thing. And then the mom 0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:23.160 comes and pounds on her door because she's had enough 0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:25.480 and this woman shoots her to death through the door, 0:23:25.520 --> 0:23:28.720 and it's all the whole the whole narrative, and the 0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:31.000 whole story's done on police body camps. 0:23:32.400 --> 0:23:34.720 Wow, wow, crazy, I remember this show. 0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:37.760 I don't remember the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it was. 0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:39.920 It's like times it's hard to watch because there's little 0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:41.960 kids and she just like shoots us mom to death. 0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:45.119 Crazy lady. So you think your neighbor's bad. But we 0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:47.119 live in a what and we'll get to the other 0:23:47.160 --> 0:23:49.720 stuff in the second world. But psychologically speaking, because you're 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:52.960 a psychologist, uh, why don't we Why do we watch this? 0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:55.760 Because the world right now is so damn depressing. Everyone 0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:58.600 complains that, you know, everyone's at each other's throats. There's 0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:02.080 so much hatred and vitriol, and yet instead of going 0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:05.200 and watching something uplifting, we watched stuff that makes us 0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:06.880 more depressed. Does that make any sense? 0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:09.880 I mean, yeah, I think, you know, there's a part 0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:10.320 of it that. 0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:13.240 I think is a little bit like you know, you 0:24:13.240 --> 0:24:15.919 you do look at it and it's like a solvable 0:24:16.000 --> 0:24:18.199 problem from a distance, right, It's like, Okay, if I 0:24:18.280 --> 0:24:20.000 was in this situation, I would do this thing, and 0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:22.560 you can think about, you know, how I would solve 0:24:22.600 --> 0:24:25.560 this problem, and the stakes are non existent because you're 0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:27.840 not actually in the problem. So I think that's probably 0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:29.359 part of it. And I do think there might be 0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:31.960 a part of it that's like, Okay, my life is bad. 0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:34.119 But it's not that bad. Yeah, maybe I don't know. 0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:35.960 It's just like and that because I'm like, I don't 0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:37.879 want to watch any more depressing them around news all day. 0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:39.080 It depresses the hell I mean, And then I'll go 0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:41.160 and I'll watch I'll sit down and binge that this weekend. 0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:44.440 It just doesn't make any sense, doesn't make any sense. Yeah, 0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:45.840 as long as I'm not showing up on the show, 0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:48.879 We're good, all right, We'll dance our ABC Entertainment expert 0:24:48.920 --> 0:24:51.719 out of New York. This has my wife written all 0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:53.600 over down FX. It's called Love Story. 0:24:54.960 --> 0:24:58.080 Yes, it's a JFK Junior and Carolyn Bessett, And this 0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:03.119 is not a docu theories, so this actors playing everybody involved. 0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:06.560 And the first three episodes dropped on FX, which means 0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:08.639 you could probably watch it on Hulu or Disney Plus 0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:11.440 if you have that bundle. And it tells the love 0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:13.680 story of JFK. Junior and Carolyn Bessett starting in the 0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:15.840 early nineties all the way up through their death in 0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:16.680 ninety nine. 0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:19.560 And you know it is it's well acted. 0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:21.720 While told, it has ninety percent on Rotten Tomatoes, so 0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:25.439 critics are into it as well. And yeah, it's just 0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:28.879 a fascinating you know, Look, it's not just a recreation 0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:31.520 of the moments we know for media coverage. There's a 0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:35.280 lot of backstory here too. And you know what we 0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:37.439 were not seeing that was going on behind the scenes 0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:38.960 as these two were falling in love. 0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:43.399 Huh. And it ends with their ultimately their death And 0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:46.000 is that like, is that a culminate that. 0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:50.200 Okay, yeah, yeah. 0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:51.560 Which wasn't a pleasant way to go. But all right, 0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:53.240 that's I mean, if you're you're I guess you're fastied 0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:54.159 by the history of the Kennedys. 0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:55.959 You don't really hear that much about I mean, it 0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:58.840 was alive, you did, but you didn't really. I don't 0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:01.199 think it got that much play when up until that 0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:02.720 the time they died. You know, it's like one of 0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:06.120 those stories, Oh yeah, John John Kennedy, but you don't 0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:07.320 you don't really hear much about them. 0:26:07.359 --> 0:26:09.240 I think it's maybe it's me, I didn't follow. I 0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:09.560 don't know. 0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:15.120 Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I think, you know, like all 0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:17.159 these other you know, the way we did the crown 0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:20.280 for the British royal family, I think now it's people 0:26:20.320 --> 0:26:23.120 digging into some American royalty, so to speak. 0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:27.719 Yeah, okay, and that's on FX right, yes, okay, all right. 0:26:27.760 --> 0:26:29.560 And of course the plane crash in ninety nine took 0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:31.240 their lives, and it's a I guess, you know, if 0:26:31.280 --> 0:26:32.560 you're gonna go and you're in love, that is a 0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:34.760 romantic way to go, I suppose, not that you know, 0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:38.120 certainly is untimely and unfortunate, but you know, it's it's 0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:41.040 a timely, it's it's romantic. And how they died, I suppose. 0:26:41.600 --> 0:26:45.199 And then finally, Marty Supreme is available for rent, and 0:26:45.200 --> 0:26:47.479 I recall that isn't that an wasn't that an Oscar 0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:49.200 nominated Oscar winning film? 0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:49.800 Yes? 0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:53.080 Yeah, so it is nominated for several Oscars, including for 0:26:53.160 --> 0:26:57.240 Timothy Shallomey, who plays this nineteen fifties sort of ping 0:26:57.280 --> 0:27:00.600 pong prodigy who is willing to do whatever it to 0:27:00.680 --> 0:27:05.040 get to the top. And so you know, there is 0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:07.159 Pingpong in the movie, but there's a lot of like 0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:10.439 wheeling and dealing in him, you know, doing whatever he 0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:13.200 can to get money to go play in Japan, and 0:27:13.320 --> 0:27:16.160 whether it's stealing somebody's dog and returning it for ransom 0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:20.200 or lying about the ransom or whatever. It is high stress, 0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:24.040 but it is a very entertaining movie. So it is 0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:27.160 finally available to stream at home. You'll have to pay 0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:29.800 to rent it. But if you're into want to be 0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:33.320 into the Oscar conversation, you know, at work or whenever 0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:37.560 the Oscars are next month, this is definitely worth checking out. 0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:39.280 It's a busy shell man man, he's on a run. 0:27:39.280 --> 0:27:40.720 He can't do any wrong. He just came out on 0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:43.840 the seat and just took over one hundred percent. 0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:46.680 He's the youngest person to have three Oscar nominations ever. 0:27:46.800 --> 0:27:48.320 Which it's yeah, crazyright. 0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:49.720 Prodigt y aah right, And I did not know that 0:27:49.760 --> 0:27:51.840 was a theme in the movie. That sounds interesting to me, 0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:53.920 so I'm might have to check that out again. Well, 0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:57.160 gat tot ABC in New York, so HBO Max, it's 0:27:57.160 --> 0:28:00.359 neighbors killing each other. Then you got the Kennedy's dying 0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:03.880 in a plane crash, and ultimately it's Martin Supreme killing 0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:07.440 people in ping pong. So it is a death Valentine's weekend. Well, 0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:09.320 all the best, thanks for coming on. Appreciate your brother. 0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:12.320 We'll talk next Friday.

All right? 0:28:32.480 --> 0:28:34.520 So we've got news coming about six minutes here on 0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:38.920 the show, and I'll get more into the government shutting 0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:41.840 down again, stupidity of it all. But the Save Act 0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:44.960 passed yay, But did we need it? I don't know. 0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:46.760 We'll get into that coming up at the ten o 0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:51.400 seven when it comes to non citizens voting in US elections, 0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:54.320 which we know not to be happening on a large scale, 0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:57.760 and yet we are passing laws to prevent that from happening. 0:28:57.760 --> 0:29:00.600 Even more so, where's the harm? There to be the question, 0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:02.200 and we'll get to that after a ten o six 0:29:02.240 --> 0:29:04.440 today on the show. I know a little heavier for 0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:06.280 a Friday generally light now, but don't worry. Alsten will 0:29:06.280 --> 0:29:07.920 be here a little bit later on ten thirty six. 0:29:07.960 --> 0:29:09.959 We'll talk a little sports. I know, major League Baseball 0:29:09.960 --> 0:29:13.720 making some rule changes, also a change in regime. Why 0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:17.200 not really At the Reds, Phil Castellini will be taking 0:29:17.240 --> 0:29:19.960 over for his dad Bob. We'll see what changes with 0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:22.960 the Reds, what's expected and is this really that impactful 0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:26.120 to us here in Reds Country awaiting Euenia Suarez and 0:29:26.160 --> 0:29:28.680 the Reds who, by the way, first spring training game 0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:32.000 is next week coming up. Already, here we go, here 0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:35.560 we go, Here we go sometime next week on the show. 0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:37.160 And I know for a lot of people it's a 0:29:37.160 --> 0:29:40.720 long three day weekend, President's Weekend coming up, and I'll 0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:44.920 probably do this maybe Tuesday or Wednesday. But you hear 0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:47.160 the story. You hear stories all the time. This story 0:29:47.200 --> 0:29:49.760 today's a matter of fact. We have this woman in 0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:52.960 Goshen who is charged with stealing more than three hundred 0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:55.680 thousand dollars I believe from residents over several years at 0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:57.920 this nursing home she's working at. And you hear these 0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:01.120 elder abuse in eldener neglect and elder exploitation stories all 0:30:01.160 --> 0:30:03.120 the time, and it makes sense. You know, we're living 0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:06.520 much much longer than our ancestors did, and that's a 0:30:06.560 --> 0:30:08.920 wonderful thing. But there is also a downside to that. 0:30:09.720 --> 0:30:11.840 And the downside, one of the many downsides, of course, 0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:14.360 would be the fact that you know, you start to 0:30:14.440 --> 0:30:18.400 maybe lose your cognitive functions and the like because your 0:30:18.440 --> 0:30:22.400 physical bodies holding on at the mental element beat dementia, Alzheimer's, 0:30:22.400 --> 0:30:24.800 those things. We start to see more and more of that, 0:30:24.960 --> 0:30:27.200 and so we need in this day and age two 0:30:27.240 --> 0:30:31.440 where we don't live, you know, near our parents anymore. Now, 0:30:31.480 --> 0:30:32.560 if you're on the West Side, you don't have to 0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:34.440 worry about that. You're probably still you know, they're probably 0:30:34.440 --> 0:30:37.000 live next door, upstairs or whatever. Bay it's old school 0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:40.160 on the West Side. But for you know, in America today, 0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:43.760 we generally don't live near our parents, and that president's 0:30:43.760 --> 0:30:45.560 a whole host of problems, meaning you have to farm 0:30:45.600 --> 0:30:48.120 out their care when they can no longer care for themselves. 0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:50.400 So chrase like this, for example, the other one and 0:30:50.560 --> 0:30:52.320 I want to get this. I've got an attorney I'm 0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:54.320 going to have on next week from the firm. Actually 0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:56.840 is representing the family of Robert Meyer. Remember the story. 0:30:56.880 --> 0:30:59.200 A couple of weeks ago. He was eighty four years 0:30:59.240 --> 0:31:03.000 old and he was at hospice and Blue Ash and 0:31:03.040 --> 0:31:07.280 before that he was at in Forest Hills, and he 0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:09.200 had about less than two months to live. And he 0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:11.200 was there about two months and they trans from the hospice, 0:31:11.240 --> 0:31:13.880 and hospice, as you know, only has one door and 0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:14.240 that's in. 0:31:14.600 --> 0:31:20.040 There's no out. You don't leave hospice. You die and 0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:23.120 you're taken away from hospice, just the natural progression of life. 0:31:24.120 --> 0:31:26.680 And so mister Meyer died and they attributed it to 0:31:26.760 --> 0:31:29.920 the fact that was you know, ends life stage nutrition, 0:31:30.160 --> 0:31:32.280 wasn't get enough calories and that happens. 0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:34.960 Well, you know when you pass you just you stop eating. 0:31:35.920 --> 0:31:38.720 That's natural, that's part of the natural process. Well, I 0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:40.840 guess his daughter or family members here and said he 0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:42.600 was calling. He said, listen, they're not treating me. Well, 0:31:42.600 --> 0:31:44.040 they're not treating me. Well, he had called nine one 0:31:44.040 --> 0:31:47.480 to one. Long story short, she noticed some strangulation marks 0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:51.360 around his neck, and smartly she took photographs of said 0:31:51.560 --> 0:31:54.400 ligature marks and they said, no, it's just it's part 0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:55.760 of the care. This is what happens when you get 0:31:55.760 --> 0:31:58.920 old and you're close to death, and it's an ugly thing, 0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:02.600 and no we understand it. So anyway, long story short, 0:32:02.680 --> 0:32:04.880 she finally convinced someone to check this out, and it 0:32:04.920 --> 0:32:09.560 turns out they exhumed his body. The hemliconic corner did 0:32:09.640 --> 0:32:14.800 like Shemarco, exhumed the body and discovered it wasn't end 0:32:14.800 --> 0:32:18.480 of life nutrition, it wasn't protein catalie mal nutrition. It 0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:21.960 was actually physical elder abuse. The contributing cause of death 0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:26.040 was filled her physical elder abuse and strangulation, and it 0:32:26.160 --> 0:32:30.880 changed from natural causes to homicide. So the one may 0:32:30.920 --> 0:32:35.600 ask is, how in the hell does a hospital or 0:32:35.600 --> 0:32:38.520 in this case of foreself health care, how do they 0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:42.720 not catch this? How does he go then to hospice? 0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:45.520 The hospice doctor doesn't catch this. Hospice was just not 0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:49.560 to sign off on the cause death and doesn't even 0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:53.720 include the strangulation marks. And I think to a lesser degree, 0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:56.160 maybe the funeral home no one knows there. And all 0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:58.440 the three of these subjects are named in the civil 0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:03.640 suit that the family has against those entities, and that's 0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:08.360 shoot scheduality. It is like, well, what happens if you 0:33:08.400 --> 0:33:10.520 know my mom and dad live out of state, and 0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:12.200 I see them, you know, once in a while. I 0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:14.320 can't fly to wherever it is every weekend and go 0:33:14.360 --> 0:33:15.800 see them or spend time it go as much as 0:33:15.800 --> 0:33:17.560 I can, but you know, maybe they're in care, and 0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:20.360 I've got to trust that that facility has their best 0:33:20.400 --> 0:33:23.880 interest at heart. And then of course you have countless 0:33:24.040 --> 0:33:28.440 elder people who don't have kids or family members anymore, 0:33:29.360 --> 0:33:32.960 and so or the indigent for that matter. We start 0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:36.040 to wonder how often this happens, because the problem with 0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:40.240 healthcare right now, as you know, is that there's compassion fatigue, 0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:43.760 there's burnout, there's high turnover, because well, it's got to 0:33:43.800 --> 0:33:46.600 be about private equity coming in, and it's more about 0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:48.400 how many patients you shoot, the money you're generating, how 0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:50.160 much money make it not about quality care, not about 0:33:50.160 --> 0:33:52.400 standard of care. And there's a fine line between profit 0:33:52.520 --> 0:33:54.720 and exploiting patients. And I think, I don't know if 0:33:54.720 --> 0:33:56.680 that's the case here, but that's the problem right now 0:33:56.680 --> 0:33:58.400 in healthcare, one of the problems in healthcare. So you 0:33:58.400 --> 0:34:01.440 should say it's a fascinating stuy and a tragic one 0:34:01.480 --> 0:34:04.480 at that. And it's almost like literally you never see 0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:06.400 this happening before. I mean, how many times they exoom 0:34:06.480 --> 0:34:09.000 someone and it's murder? It sounds you you think it 0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:12.759 probably happens more often, it doesn't. Extremely rare, and that 0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:15.520 happened right here in Cincinnati, and it's a it's a 0:34:15.560 --> 0:34:17.800 sobering case for sure. Anyway, we'll get into that sometime 0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:21.279 next week on the show. But I just it's almost like, 0:34:21.360 --> 0:34:23.080 you know, talking to Will Gance, it feels like almost 0:34:23.080 --> 0:34:26.160 a Netflix show or sadly you know, date line or 0:34:26.200 --> 0:34:27.480 something along those lines. Crazy. 0:34:27.680 --> 0:34:29.359 Let me get a news update in. We'll get into 0:34:29.400 --> 0:34:32.239 the Save Act that just passed, and did we actually. 0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:35.920 Needed what to do? And more importantly, what the reason 0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:38.520 why we pass something that's to prevent something that's not 0:34:38.560 --> 0:34:40.080 happening in the first place. Will make sense of it 0:34:40.160 --> 0:34:41.919 next after news on the Home of the Red seven 0:34:41.960 --> 0:34:46.960 hundred WWT Cincinnati. You know what politicians love. 0:34:47.840 --> 0:34:54.520 Questions with no answers are correct answers. Here's your choice 0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:58.040 this issue about illegals voting. 0:35:00.360 --> 0:35:02.840 You either look at it, here's your worldview, here's your choices. 0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:06.239 You either see it as Democrats just want to legal 0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:08.680 people to vote largely for them because they'll give them 0:35:08.680 --> 0:35:13.360 free stuff, or you look at it as Republicans just 0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:17.640 want to keep people from voting. Those are your choices. 0:35:19.760 --> 0:35:24.279 It's an issue of ballot security versus ballot access. Scottsland here. 0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:26.480 I bring this up because the House of Representatives have 0:35:26.560 --> 0:35:29.840 just passed the Save America Act, and as you know, 0:35:29.880 --> 0:35:32.719 that prevent non citizens from voting in US federal elections, 0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:35.360 and this is an updated version of that, adding another 0:35:35.520 --> 0:35:39.640 layer to the other layers and other layers, this time 0:35:39.680 --> 0:35:44.360 requiring federal proof of citizenship in your voter registration photo 0:35:44.360 --> 0:35:48.239 ID for federal elections and also information sharing between state 0:35:48.280 --> 0:35:51.719 and federal authorities so they verify the citizens on the 0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:53.480 voter roles, which I think it's a good stab. We 0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:58.600 often talk about lack of communication between government agencies, state 0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:01.600 and federal in particular, and this helps rectify that, so 0:36:01.719 --> 0:36:05.120 the communication between agencies, between the people doing the bidding 0:36:05.200 --> 0:36:08.040 for us that we send to represent us are actually 0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:10.280 talking to each other. We just had a great example 0:36:10.280 --> 0:36:14.000 of a failure of that yesterday with the whatever happened 0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:17.040 in El Paso with the FAA and the military, and 0:36:17.080 --> 0:36:20.040 we're going to shut down this airfield for ten days 0:36:20.080 --> 0:36:22.120 and then an hour or two later, I never mind, 0:36:22.120 --> 0:36:25.479 We're good. Wait, what what just happened here? How can 0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:30.680 that happen? Because people don't talk to each other. So 0:36:30.760 --> 0:36:35.799 the reality of this is that it's been illegal for 0:36:35.880 --> 0:36:39.160 non citizens to vote in federal elections for over a century. 0:36:39.520 --> 0:36:42.440 It's an old law. But the question that is, okay, well, 0:36:42.600 --> 0:36:45.200 our legal people vote. Are our legals voting and elections? 0:36:45.200 --> 0:36:47.799 What's the danger? And what's the data? Show what? Show 0:36:47.880 --> 0:36:51.200 me numbers, show me proof? Okay, here are the facts. 0:36:51.960 --> 0:36:56.200 So progressive thing tanks and researchers have studied the evidence 0:36:56.239 --> 0:36:59.960 these are progressives and looked at almost twenty four million 0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:04.799 votes and determine that. And by the way, they also 0:37:04.840 --> 0:37:08.600 did a number and a sizable number disproportion number. That 0:37:08.640 --> 0:37:13.120 research was in areas of high populations non citizens. Is 0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:18.640 that important? And out of the roughly twenty three to 0:37:18.640 --> 0:37:25.280 twenty four million, they found thirty instances of suspected not actual, 0:37:25.320 --> 0:37:28.200 but suspected non citizen voting. So that's like point zero 0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:32.880 zero zero one percent, very very small. Okay, but that's progressive. 0:37:33.600 --> 0:37:38.719 What doesive conservatives say? Okay? Well, conservative watchdogs study data 0:37:39.920 --> 0:37:45.200 and they found seventy instances of illegals voting since well 0:37:45.239 --> 0:37:51.680 two thousand, so over twenty five years, so somewhere between 0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:54.680 thirty and seventy out of a country of you know, 0:37:54.760 --> 0:37:59.320 three hundred and forty million people. I'd say that's pretty statistically, 0:37:59.400 --> 0:38:01.840 that's pretty good. They also said, and this is again 0:38:02.120 --> 0:38:05.080 this from Heritage Foundation, pretty conservative. Many of those cases 0:38:05.320 --> 0:38:08.719 were actually lawful permanent residents who were pulled by a 0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:12.040 government official or a voting authority that they were eligible 0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:13.960 and they weren't. So they asked, and they said, oh yeah, yeah, 0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:15.440 you can vote in terms that they couldn't vote. So 0:38:15.560 --> 0:38:17.480 number of those cases of a seventy so there's an even 0:38:17.480 --> 0:38:19.479 an astrois next to that. The fact of the matter 0:38:19.560 --> 0:38:23.240 is whether you're left, right or independent, it doesn't happen. 0:38:25.480 --> 0:38:31.200 Statistically speaking, it doesn't happen, and certainly not enough to 0:38:31.200 --> 0:38:34.640 swing an election. Okay, and both the left and the 0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:37.239 right know that's true. So how do you get to 0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:42.600 how does this actually become a thing. Well, it's you know, 0:38:42.719 --> 0:38:46.080 a great example of the politics of exaggeration and confirmation 0:38:46.160 --> 0:38:51.080 by So you ask yourself, is the risk of non 0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:55.920 citizen voting significant enough to justify more documentation requirements that 0:38:56.040 --> 0:38:59.800 may make registration harder for eligible citizens. He said, you 0:38:59.840 --> 0:39:04.440 know your answer, and the onset depends on which concern 0:39:04.520 --> 0:39:06.120 you see how you see what your world view is. 0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:12.440 Do you see fraud prevention as the real danger or 0:39:12.480 --> 0:39:16.879 do you see voting assets is a real danger. And 0:39:17.840 --> 0:39:20.000 it's either you know, Dems want oh the Democrats, they 0:39:20.000 --> 0:39:22.399 want to legals to vote, it helps them, or oh 0:39:22.440 --> 0:39:24.480 the dead and Republicans, you know, they just want to 0:39:24.480 --> 0:39:27.719 prevent people of color, people poor people from voting. So 0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:30.200 depending on world view, that's your answer. And is there 0:39:30.200 --> 0:39:30.880 a right answer to this? 0:39:31.040 --> 0:39:33.279 Not really, because I look at it, going okay, well, 0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:37.520 very very few, I said, statistically insignificant number of people 0:39:37.520 --> 0:39:40.160 are doing this, and I'm sure people a right now. 0:39:40.160 --> 0:39:42.000 We oh yeah, what about well there's a case where 0:39:42.120 --> 0:39:44.440 I get right. You know, you can find cases and go, well, 0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:46.520 this person did this, Okay, but it doesn't mean it's 0:39:46.600 --> 0:39:50.600 rampant and politicians are really good at well, it's not 0:39:50.640 --> 0:39:53.080 just everyone's really good at that as cherry picking, finding 0:39:53.080 --> 0:39:55.960 someone and going well, here's your example. Okay, that's one 0:39:56.000 --> 0:40:00.040 person out of how many and if sometimes in a 0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:02.640 lot of cases it's a legitimate error on the part 0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:05.839 of the people who handle the elections telling someone they're 0:40:05.880 --> 0:40:08.520 eligible when they can't. Now me personally, I look at 0:40:08.520 --> 0:40:10.560 it going. I think it's good that the States and 0:40:10.560 --> 0:40:13.719 the FEDS are sharing information and data on people and 0:40:14.120 --> 0:40:15.960 you know, to make sure that people aren't legally voting. 0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:17.960 And the penalties are very extreme, you know, they're very 0:40:18.000 --> 0:40:20.600 severe for what's going on here. So is this a 0:40:20.640 --> 0:40:24.160 solution and sort of a problem. It really isn't, because 0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:27.080 you know, this is a great, I guess example of 0:40:27.160 --> 0:40:32.000 human nature and us as Americans, how we operate like 0:40:32.120 --> 0:40:34.760 woll okay, there's really no threat here. But it depends 0:40:34.760 --> 0:40:35.839 on what your worldview is. 0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:38.600 There's plenty of people that think illegals are voting in 0:40:38.640 --> 0:40:41.040 every election and overthrowing election and certainly doesn't help in 0:40:41.080 --> 0:40:43.680 The President says, yeah, twenty twenty was completely fraudulent, even 0:40:43.680 --> 0:40:46.279 though you know, people still believe that that it was, 0:40:46.320 --> 0:40:48.440 and there's at this point no convincing you otherwise you 0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:50.719 have your mind made up and everybody's part of the 0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:54.359 conspiracy who doesn't buy into it. You know, it's been 0:40:55.600 --> 0:40:57.960 it's been six years, and if we're still waiting for well, 0:40:58.040 --> 0:40:59.879 the MyPillow guy, for example, give us all this ov 0:40:59.880 --> 0:41:01.359 it's just not coming out. 0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:02.640 Yeah, yeah, but you didn't see that. 0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:05.040 Yeah, I know, I've I've looked at this stuff and 0:41:05.080 --> 0:41:09.200 said in the courts of agreed, FBI's agreed. It's like okay, 0:41:09.760 --> 0:41:11.640 and now that at this point, what does that get you. 0:41:13.440 --> 0:41:16.720 I mean, if there's a conspiracy to fix the twenty 0:41:16.760 --> 0:41:19.840 to ring, the twenty twenty election, Trump got back in, 0:41:19.840 --> 0:41:22.000 powered down pretty much undid everything. 0:41:22.120 --> 0:41:24.200 So you know, how did he win a second term? 0:41:24.200 --> 0:41:26.400 If the system is rigged, I guess it'd be well, 0:41:26.400 --> 0:41:28.359 guess it would be Okham's razor. 0:41:28.440 --> 0:41:28.560 Right. 0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:32.719 Generally, the simplest explanation is usually the right one that 0:41:32.840 --> 0:41:36.239 you just simply lost. But nonetheless, I'm gonna look at 0:41:36.239 --> 0:41:38.440 this in gocation. We have safe and secure elections like 0:41:38.480 --> 0:41:40.920 the border. Absolutely, but you know the idea that that 0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:43.480 you know, immigrants are somehow out there voting in these 0:41:43.520 --> 0:41:46.879 huge numbers, but it could happen, it could have I think, really, 0:41:46.880 --> 0:41:49.360 what's going on here, and this is a Democrat proposal 0:41:49.360 --> 0:41:52.799 that this is the backfiring of things that you push for, 0:41:53.040 --> 0:41:57.279 you know, on your agenda. One of the what I 0:41:58.239 --> 0:42:00.239 think one of the key things here is you look 0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:03.040 at I forget how it's like twenty to twenty twenty 0:42:03.080 --> 0:42:06.680 two states or something like that that allows motor voter registration. 0:42:06.719 --> 0:42:08.600 I remember when that was a debate for a while. 0:42:10.320 --> 0:42:14.880 So the law says in these states that motor vehicle offices, 0:42:14.920 --> 0:42:16.719 so the DMV can allow people to register to vote. 0:42:16.719 --> 0:42:17.640 You know, we have it. You can go in and 0:42:17.680 --> 0:42:21.920 do that, and and okay, that's good. It's like it's 0:42:21.960 --> 0:42:23.719 easy to register to vote. We want people engage in 0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:28.080 the process. But you wonder how many of these cases 0:42:28.080 --> 0:42:31.399 where someone who's a in the states. As I said 0:42:31.480 --> 0:42:34.120 that the twenty states were roughly that allow undocumented immigrants 0:42:34.120 --> 0:42:36.799 to get a driver's license, that they go in and 0:42:37.080 --> 0:42:39.640 because they don't speak the language linguish is their second 0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:43.080 language or third language, and may have misunderstood and you know, 0:42:43.560 --> 0:42:45.960 in understand not moving here. Some I think there's some 0:42:46.040 --> 0:42:48.560 people to think that they come here specifically to vote 0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:50.920 so they can undermine our system. And you got out 0:42:50.960 --> 0:42:52.600 of your mind. You think, if somebody's going to do that, 0:42:52.719 --> 0:42:54.560 just why you move? Why are you doing this? Why 0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:58.080 you come here and legally unite it so I can vote? Yeah, no, 0:42:59.040 --> 0:43:02.839 probably not happening, But I see what would happen here 0:43:02.880 --> 0:43:06.480 is if you have these easy to register to vote boxes, 0:43:06.520 --> 0:43:11.319 and again it's an affirmation, it's a checkbox. You check 0:43:11.400 --> 0:43:14.799 that box and falsely thinking yeah, would you like to vote? Sure, 0:43:14.880 --> 0:43:15.799 I don't know what the law is. 0:43:16.040 --> 0:43:18.759 I don't okay, yes, yes, yes, or maybe I misunderstood 0:43:18.800 --> 0:43:21.960 it and you register to vote. I mean that could 0:43:22.120 --> 0:43:25.839 that's a plausible scenario, right, but that is something that's 0:43:25.880 --> 0:43:28.239 done in behast of that worldview that No, my god, 0:43:28.280 --> 0:43:31.160 the Conservatives and Republicans are making it so hard for 0:43:31.200 --> 0:43:32.680 people to vote. So all we have to do is 0:43:32.680 --> 0:43:35.400 make it easier to register to vote. And when you 0:43:35.440 --> 0:43:38.719 make something easier and lower that bar, things like this 0:43:38.840 --> 0:43:42.480 may happen, which gives for their ammunition to go. We 0:43:42.600 --> 0:43:45.719 have illegals voting when they really aren't. And so I think, 0:43:46.040 --> 0:43:48.040 you know, you want to talk about conspiracy theories. I 0:43:48.080 --> 0:43:50.600 think there's a collusion going on here in a sense 0:43:50.640 --> 0:43:53.719 that they know they just play the game. They're trying 0:43:53.719 --> 0:43:55.160 to get you to see their side of things and 0:43:55.200 --> 0:43:57.480 support them and send them money because and in time 0:43:57.480 --> 0:43:59.359 you go your vote is you know how many times 0:43:59.400 --> 0:44:02.759 if you're a democh at scream when they lose elections 0:44:03.440 --> 0:44:06.080 about voter intimidation, voter suppression. 0:44:06.840 --> 0:44:07.480 Why did you lose? 0:44:07.640 --> 0:44:13.160 It's voter suppression. Now your candidate sucks. Hillary lost? Why 0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:18.600 because voter suppression be suppressing your vote. Gotta get your asked, 0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:20.480 get off your ass and vote. It's easier to vote 0:44:20.520 --> 0:44:23.520 than ever before. We need more ballot access. It's pretty 0:44:23.560 --> 0:44:24.040 much easy. 0:44:24.520 --> 0:44:27.160 You can mail you you have a month to mail 0:44:27.239 --> 0:44:30.640 your battlement. If you give a damn. It's easy af 0:44:30.719 --> 0:44:33.040 to vote. I mean, what's the next step. You want 0:44:33.080 --> 0:44:35.279 someone coming to your house saying, hey, who are you 0:44:35.320 --> 0:44:36.200 gonna vote for. 0:44:38.440 --> 0:44:38.480 It? 0:44:38.760 --> 0:44:41.440 It's easy to vote. It used to be hard to vote. 0:44:42.000 --> 0:44:43.799 It's a Tuesday. You gotta take the day off. You 0:44:43.840 --> 0:44:45.600 gotta go wait in a line. Now you didn't have 0:44:45.640 --> 0:44:48.120 all other stuff to do. There wasn't TikTok and Instagram 0:44:48.120 --> 0:44:52.319 and you know three thousand streaming channels. You actually have 0:44:52.360 --> 0:44:54.040 put the effort in back in the day. Gotta get 0:44:54.080 --> 0:44:55.640 your car, get on the bus, whatever it is, go 0:44:55.719 --> 0:44:59.680 down and vote. Now it comes to you couldn't be easier. 0:45:00.000 --> 0:45:02.080 It wouldn't be easier and better for that matter, so 0:45:02.120 --> 0:45:04.279 you can do more research and actually be an informed voter. 0:45:04.400 --> 0:45:06.680 Because you're doing it at home. You're not in a 0:45:06.719 --> 0:45:10.680 box somewhere or the curtain, sweating it out, going feel 0:45:10.719 --> 0:45:12.440 like you didn't study for the exam. You open that 0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:14.359 thing up and go, what the hell question is this? 0:45:14.800 --> 0:45:17.840 Start having that high school or college flat bath flashback 0:45:17.960 --> 0:45:20.480 nightmare where you forgot to study for the final exam. 0:45:20.840 --> 0:45:23.600 What the judges? What ballot issue is it? 0:45:23.800 --> 0:45:23.960 Now? 0:45:24.000 --> 0:45:26.160 You can just look it up on your phone before 0:45:26.200 --> 0:45:30.880 you vote. It's great, so voter suppression, like the voter suppression. 0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:34.920 And then the other side, of course, is screaming about, 0:45:35.320 --> 0:45:38.800 you know, ballot integrity and the elections are stolen and okay, 0:45:38.800 --> 0:45:41.960 where's the evidence? We really don't have any. But that's 0:45:41.960 --> 0:45:43.720 the cycle we are. I mean, it's you know again, 0:45:44.000 --> 0:45:46.879 the theme here on my show anyway, is just kind 0:45:46.880 --> 0:45:48.360 of thinking for yourself a little bit. I'm not the 0:45:48.440 --> 0:45:50.960 sharpest knife in the drawer. I'm not no rocket surgeon, 0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:53.640 but I kind of have a good idea when somebody's 0:45:53.640 --> 0:45:56.839 blowing smoke up my butt, like, what's your agenda, what's 0:45:56.880 --> 0:45:58.640 the bottle? What's the BS? Cut through the bsking me 0:45:58.680 --> 0:46:02.360 the facts? We don't have a There isn't rampant illegal 0:46:02.440 --> 0:46:06.120 voting going on, it's handfuls of people across the country. 0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:09.319 And is it a growing threat? No, it looks to 0:46:09.400 --> 0:46:10.840 me but pretty consistent. 0:46:10.880 --> 0:46:14.040 If you look at the evidence from the progressive resources 0:46:14.080 --> 0:46:17.240 and the conservative resources pretty much pretty close thirty between 0:46:17.280 --> 0:46:22.960 thirty and seventy over twenty five years. It's pretty find 0:46:23.000 --> 0:46:25.560 me a more convincing stat I don't think you can 0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:29.040 find one. But should we make sure our elections are secure? 0:46:29.120 --> 0:46:30.040 Yeah? 0:46:30.160 --> 0:46:33.239 The argument though, is that you know, these two sides 0:46:33.280 --> 0:46:34.880 battle and go, hey, we got to make it easier 0:46:34.920 --> 0:46:38.440 because we've got to protect people from having their vote suppressed. Okay, 0:46:38.440 --> 0:46:41.200 well it's really easy to vote right now. You can't 0:46:41.200 --> 0:46:45.080 make it any easier. How do you balance that out? 0:46:46.080 --> 0:46:49.200 Maybe this is not that well thought, is that, Okay, well, 0:46:49.239 --> 0:46:51.960 we've got to have the state in the FEDS cross 0:46:52.040 --> 0:46:53.879 check and make sure you are who you say you are, 0:46:54.719 --> 0:46:56.480 and you've got to have more evidence than ever before. 0:46:56.560 --> 0:46:59.400 And largely what it does, I think is when you 0:46:59.440 --> 0:47:01.840 have these government battles like this are party battles, I 0:47:01.880 --> 0:47:04.919 guess it just makes it harder to live your life. 0:47:04.920 --> 0:47:07.120 And that's probably the source of a lot of our frustration, 0:47:08.360 --> 0:47:10.440 is it's just such a in the older you get 0:47:10.480 --> 0:47:12.560 it's true too. Because you're younger, you take it for 0:47:12.600 --> 0:47:15.080 granted as this is the way it is. And when 0:47:15.080 --> 0:47:16.799 you're older and you and you're younger now and you're 0:47:16.800 --> 0:47:19.280 listening that, you're going, okay, it makes sense. What happens 0:47:19.320 --> 0:47:21.680 is you see kind of thing ways the way things 0:47:21.760 --> 0:47:22.840 used to be. It used to be simpler. 0:47:22.960 --> 0:47:26.000 Things get more complicated, and in a lot of ways, 0:47:26.040 --> 0:47:28.480 things get easier in some other ways. And you also 0:47:29.320 --> 0:47:32.759 are a touch to some degree with I guess the 0:47:32.800 --> 0:47:34.839 modern quote unquote modern way of doing things. That makes sense. 0:47:34.880 --> 0:47:36.920 That's why it gets like old people get bitter about stuff. 0:47:36.920 --> 0:47:40.279 It's like, it's, man, how hard is this? And you 0:47:40.320 --> 0:47:42.320 go back in the day where your grandparents would go 0:47:42.400 --> 0:47:48.120 to I don't know, the pharmacy, the apothecary, whatever it was. 0:47:48.239 --> 0:47:50.000 It's like, I need a bottle of mess. Here you go. 0:47:50.040 --> 0:47:53.760 Here's a bottle. It's got a cork in it. Now, okay, 0:47:53.800 --> 0:47:56.879 I get the same medicine. And I got to push 0:47:56.920 --> 0:47:58.680 down in a cap, but I got a twist, and 0:47:58.719 --> 0:48:00.839 then there's cotton and then there's a foil thing on top, 0:48:00.880 --> 0:48:02.719 and it's in the sealed cavern and I get to 0:48:02.719 --> 0:48:04.840 get a welder to break the box open so I 0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:07.360 can get this. And what a pain in the ass. 0:48:08.640 --> 0:48:08.799 You know. 0:48:08.920 --> 0:48:10.880 Back in the day, we just open up, take a 0:48:10.960 --> 0:48:11.600 cork off. 0:48:11.680 --> 0:48:15.000 Now I've got a It's like the Arosetta Stone here. 0:48:15.680 --> 0:48:18.799 It's the way life always is. Though every generation has 0:48:18.840 --> 0:48:21.000 that kind of thing. So I see this and go out. 0:48:21.000 --> 0:48:22.560 It's more of a pain than about ever to vote 0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:24.839 if you want a register to vote. But if you're 0:48:24.880 --> 0:48:26.400 young and new to the country, you think that's just 0:48:26.400 --> 0:48:28.560 the way it always is. And I guess you know, 0:48:28.600 --> 0:48:30.520 they're really good at just finding ways to This is 0:48:30.520 --> 0:48:32.440 a great divisive issue for the country because there is 0:48:32.520 --> 0:48:35.520 no there's no answer to this question. It's it's you know, 0:48:35.560 --> 0:48:39.759 it's a puzzle. You're either all about ballot security or 0:48:39.800 --> 0:48:43.160 you're all about ballot access, and there's no little ground 0:48:43.160 --> 0:48:45.640 on this thing, and politicians absolutely love that. That's why 0:48:45.680 --> 0:48:49.160 it is such an exploitative issue in my opinion. Anyway, 0:48:49.560 --> 0:48:51.439 let me get time out in and more to follow 0:48:51.480 --> 0:48:54.800 ten thirty six. Austin Pops and Austin Elmore from ESPN 0:48:54.960 --> 0:48:58.520 fifteen thirty We talk some sports this week. I'm gonna 0:48:58.520 --> 0:49:02.000 ask him coming up we have the Olympics. We also 0:49:02.040 --> 0:49:03.680 have news Red's news. By the way, I think major 0:49:03.719 --> 0:49:06.480 League Baseball. I hear it's making some changes again anyways, 0:49:06.480 --> 0:49:09.359 tweak the rules. See what that is about. But Phil 0:49:09.400 --> 0:49:12.759 Castellini now is the man in charge of your Cincinnati 0:49:12.760 --> 0:49:14.759 Red Legs. How are you feeling about that? You know, 0:49:14.800 --> 0:49:17.919 Phil is not the most controversial guy in the world. 0:49:17.960 --> 0:49:21.040 But also there's some baggage with Phil Castellini and as 0:49:21.080 --> 0:49:24.480 the steward of our Red Legs, Now, how do we 0:49:24.520 --> 0:49:26.600 feel about that? We'll get into that with Austin in 0:49:26.640 --> 0:49:28.960 a few minutes. We also have some Olympics stuff going. 0:49:28.960 --> 0:49:30.600 I gotta cat touch on the Olympics though. You feel 0:49:30.600 --> 0:49:34.279 almost obligated to mention the Olympics, especially the Americans doing 0:49:34.320 --> 0:49:36.600 as well as we are too. And I saw somebody 0:49:37.120 --> 0:49:40.240 online it's just again back to the polarization, so stupid, 0:49:41.200 --> 0:49:43.160 like they show too much American stuff. Why why aren't 0:49:43.160 --> 0:49:44.480 you showing the rest of the world, you know, the 0:49:44.520 --> 0:49:47.360 globalist kind of feel. It's like, yeah, because it's NBC, 0:49:47.360 --> 0:49:50.160 it's America. I don't really I don't really care about 0:49:50.160 --> 0:49:52.759 another I don't really care about what France is doing. 0:49:52.800 --> 0:49:56.520 And figure skating right how the Latvian team is getting screwed. 0:49:56.560 --> 0:49:59.120 In hockey, I care about the USA, Like for me, 0:49:59.160 --> 0:50:03.120 it's a USA v Canada because you know, I love hockey. 0:50:03.200 --> 0:50:03.960 Hockey's my sport. 0:50:04.160 --> 0:50:07.160 And I enjoyed watching the men when when yesterday afternoon 0:50:07.280 --> 0:50:10.759 is kind of predicted h two two goals called off, 0:50:10.760 --> 0:50:13.960 which is extremely rare to do, but yeah, it's kind 0:50:13.960 --> 0:50:15.040 of it's kind of fun to watch. And then we 0:50:15.120 --> 0:50:15.560 got the guy. 0:50:15.760 --> 0:50:17.480 I don't really watch a lot of figure skating, but 0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:20.440 I will watch this guy try to hit a quad 0:50:20.640 --> 0:50:23.879 during the Olympics, which is I mean, that's never been 0:50:23.880 --> 0:50:27.879 done before and this this level of competition, so we've 0:50:27.920 --> 0:50:29.680 got that going on as well. I'm also, you know, 0:50:29.840 --> 0:50:34.000 the the least interesting sports in the Winter Games here, 0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:37.399 what is your most interesting and least interesting? Like if 0:50:37.400 --> 0:50:40.319 it were on, you'd stop and watch it, or if 0:50:40.320 --> 0:50:42.960 it came on going, I'm out. You know, for me, 0:50:43.239 --> 0:50:44.759 I'm not really big in a figure skating. I do 0:50:44.760 --> 0:50:46.880 want to see the guy hit the quad, but like 0:50:46.920 --> 0:50:50.719 the pairs and all that, I don't really care. Ski 0:50:50.840 --> 0:50:54.440 jumping I will always watch because there's just you You're 0:50:54.480 --> 0:50:59.120 waiting for peril. The agony of defeat. There's a new 0:50:59.120 --> 0:51:03.959 one called scheme mountaineering, which I don't know. I'm gonna 0:51:04.040 --> 0:51:06.000 lean on the I'll check it out. I will check it. 0:51:06.280 --> 0:51:08.439 I'll try it anyon once food drink in this case 0:51:08.440 --> 0:51:13.200 Olympics new event where they ski and mountain climb. Like 0:51:13.239 --> 0:51:18.799 what so the biathlon is skiing and shooting. This is 0:51:18.920 --> 0:51:22.680 skiing and then climbing the mountain your skiing, which skiing 0:51:22.760 --> 0:51:24.800 generally means you're going downhill. I don't know where the 0:51:24.880 --> 0:51:28.160 up part comes into it? Is that more like cross country? 0:51:28.400 --> 0:51:30.279 I just I don't think could you get any more 0:51:30.280 --> 0:51:32.680 events in Neil Winter Olympics involving skis? 0:51:33.719 --> 0:51:36.960 That's the That's the other thing I lose is always 0:51:36.960 --> 0:51:38.479 going to miss this guy going down on a bobs flood. 0:51:38.520 --> 0:51:40.920 That's it. Yeah, we've all done that. That is the 0:51:40.920 --> 0:51:43.719 most approachable sport I think in the Olympics. To me 0:51:44.040 --> 0:51:47.320 is I get on a flying saucer. I'm Clark Griswold. 0:51:47.440 --> 0:51:49.439 I get on this thing, I go down an ice 0:51:49.560 --> 0:51:52.880 tube and if you were to you go There's how 0:51:52.960 --> 0:51:55.719 much danger is there? Really? You don't see a lot 0:51:55.760 --> 0:51:59.680 of wipeouts and crashes with the luge because the way 0:51:59.719 --> 0:52:02.440 it's DESI it seems like it's it's almost like bowling 0:52:02.440 --> 0:52:06.359 with the bumpers up. Kind of takes a little challenge away, 0:52:06.360 --> 0:52:08.239 But you know me, you're going pretty damn fast on 0:52:08.280 --> 0:52:10.640 that thing. Looks just looks it's something you'd want to try, right, 0:52:10.680 --> 0:52:12.160 Like everyone, I could do that. What do you do? 0:52:12.200 --> 0:52:15.840 You lie there and it just goes like Pinewood Derby. 0:52:15.840 --> 0:52:19.520 You just put on the traps. You're gone very approachable sport.

You put those 0:54:27.719 --> 0:54:32.760 two together. Yeah, it's over, leave the house. Yeah, anyways, 0:54:32.760 --> 0:54:34.919 you want to talk about sports, Yeah, let's let's can 0:54:34.920 --> 0:54:35.840 we keep it out of the gutter? 0:54:37.080 --> 0:54:37.759 Yeah? All right. 0:54:38.400 --> 0:54:41.719 The Olympic village has officially exhausted in just seventy two 0:54:41.760 --> 0:54:44.400 hours their entire supply of condoms. Knew you were gonna 0:54:44.400 --> 0:54:47.040 do that. I knew you were gonna go there. 0:54:47.719 --> 0:54:50.439 Yeah, this is like we hear this every single time 0:54:50.480 --> 0:54:53.360 the Olympics come around, right, but they're just the condoms 0:54:53.440 --> 0:54:56.279 just fly off the shelves over there, they really do. 0:54:56.440 --> 0:54:57.720 And you know, I can't help. 0:54:57.600 --> 0:55:00.120 But think of that one Norwegian fellow who admitted the 0:55:00.239 --> 0:55:03.560 cheating on his girlfriend when he won the medal, and 0:55:03.960 --> 0:55:07.479 you know the backlash since then. Has that maybe led 0:55:07.520 --> 0:55:11.280 to more young ladies being in his dms? Or maybe 0:55:11.280 --> 0:55:14.359 some other fellow Olympians that have sought him out, and 0:55:14.400 --> 0:55:17.680 maybe he's using some of that the gold medal get 0:55:17.719 --> 0:55:22.080 you get get you know, it means money, right, like 0:55:22.120 --> 0:55:24.440 you get a decent chunk of money late anyway, it's 0:55:24.440 --> 0:55:26.040 just like, do you get more piece of the metal. 0:55:26.520 --> 0:55:29.680 Probably get this man, right. I think there are some 0:55:29.840 --> 0:55:32.280 people out there that want to check it off their list. 0:55:33.040 --> 0:55:36.719 Slept with a gold medalist. Yeah, I mean I'm not 0:55:36.760 --> 0:55:39.439 above that, right yeah, and then your first pick would 0:55:39.440 --> 0:55:51.839 be the curlers swan get yours anyway. Yeah, so seventy 0:55:51.880 --> 0:55:53.359 I don't have a thing in the bug in the corner, 0:55:53.440 --> 0:55:54.520 you know the time, you know when they do the 0:55:54.560 --> 0:55:56.640 splits at the time, he's uh huh do that with 0:55:56.640 --> 0:55:57.240 the condoms? 0:55:57.280 --> 0:55:59.799 Sure, like this is ahead of these Olympics. I like that. Yeah, 0:56:00.080 --> 0:56:03.880 wait seven too, it's seventy eight condoms ahead of a record. 0:56:03.920 --> 0:56:05.960 It's almost like like that bar in Omaha for the 0:56:05.960 --> 0:56:08.479 College World Series where they track the fans that drink 0:56:08.480 --> 0:56:10.080 the most shot, right right right, yeah. 0:56:09.920 --> 0:56:13.200 Same thing, same same technology, same technology. All right, Now 0:56:13.200 --> 0:56:17.799 that we have no listeners left, let's I do want 0:56:17.840 --> 0:56:19.799 to talk a little Olympics in just a second or two, 0:56:19.880 --> 0:56:23.040 because tonight. There's only one undefeated team in all of 0:56:23.120 --> 0:56:26.239 college basketballs correct, and that would be the Miami RedHawks 0:56:26.880 --> 0:56:31.279 tonight against Tom Brenneman's Ohio University Bobcats. The Ohio the 0:56:32.120 --> 0:56:37.560 aaii A Ohio University Bobcats tonight at Mallett. 0:56:37.640 --> 0:56:42.200 Big game, national television game on ESPN. That's a big 0:56:42.239 --> 0:56:46.759 deal for Miami, and I'm fascinated to see how as 0:56:46.840 --> 0:56:49.680 they go along and the pressure continues to mount, how 0:56:49.719 --> 0:56:51.879 do they respond Because they've had some close calls, They've 0:56:51.880 --> 0:56:53.880 had some games that you could argue they probably shouldn't 0:56:53.880 --> 0:56:56.359 have won, but they found a way to win them. 0:56:56.760 --> 0:56:59.359 And just at team because I agree very hard. 0:56:59.440 --> 0:57:02.000 I agree, and going up against a team like Ohio, 0:57:02.120 --> 0:57:04.640 that's a rivalry. That's the battle of the bricks right there. 0:57:04.960 --> 0:57:08.120 And sometimes when the pressure is mounting, and when the 0:57:08.200 --> 0:57:11.360 lights are on and you're on national TV, you start thinking, Okay, 0:57:11.680 --> 0:57:15.040 you're tighten up a little bit there, and I'm curious 0:57:15.040 --> 0:57:17.000 to see how it goes. But Travis Steel and his team, 0:57:17.000 --> 0:57:19.360 I mean, they are one of the best offensive teams 0:57:19.520 --> 0:57:22.120 in the country, and when they're able to marry that 0:57:22.280 --> 0:57:25.760 with some consistent defense, it hasn't always been good, but 0:57:25.840 --> 0:57:27.040 some consistent defense. 0:57:27.400 --> 0:57:27.960 They're fun to. 0:57:27.960 --> 0:57:31.080 Watch man and with the Bobcats love to knock off 0:57:31.120 --> 0:57:33.200 Miami and be the team they lose the finals of 0:57:33.200 --> 0:57:39.000 this season. Yeah, as Tom Braden would say, ut. 0:57:38.600 --> 0:57:42.480 Red spring training schedule, we are underway in goodyear. February 0:57:42.560 --> 0:57:45.320 twenty first, So what is that? Today is the thirteenth, 0:57:45.360 --> 0:57:47.280 So how many times have you looked at the Reds 0:57:47.400 --> 0:57:51.520 spring training schedule? But a week from today it's real 0:57:51.560 --> 0:57:55.080 they start playing games. It's not real. Yeah, they're really 0:57:55.080 --> 0:57:57.600 playing those those are fake games. Yeah, but they're really 0:57:57.600 --> 0:57:58.360 playing another team. 0:57:58.640 --> 0:58:01.240 Yes, So well you'll hear the jingle their ads are 0:58:01.280 --> 0:58:03.200 on and that's I guess that's rights. 0:58:05.800 --> 0:58:06.040 Yeah. 0:58:06.120 --> 0:58:08.640 I feel like it's kind of gone fast that all 0:58:08.640 --> 0:58:10.960 of a sudden we've we've you know, the new year 0:58:11.000 --> 0:58:14.160 happens in boom. We're right about to start having spring 0:58:14.200 --> 0:58:16.880 training baseball games. And what's interesting about the team to 0:58:16.960 --> 0:58:20.440 me is that they're not interesting. They're kind of boring. 0:58:20.800 --> 0:58:24.120 The most interesting parts of this spring training are who's 0:58:24.160 --> 0:58:26.960 gonna hit second in the lineup and who's the backup 0:58:27.000 --> 0:58:31.280 second basement. Pretty Much every spot is accounted for. Now 0:58:31.320 --> 0:58:33.920 we're gonna see how refreshing is that. Yeah, I know, 0:58:34.160 --> 0:58:36.320 and and I think Terry Frank Coon was talking about 0:58:36.320 --> 0:58:38.280 this on the Hot Stove earlier this week, where it's 0:58:38.320 --> 0:58:42.240 like sometimes you go into camp with a lot of 0:58:42.320 --> 0:58:45.320 questions and you find out you don't have the answers. Well, 0:58:45.360 --> 0:58:47.320 now you're going into camp with a lot of answers 0:58:47.640 --> 0:58:50.000 and you find out what questions need to be asked. 0:58:50.200 --> 0:58:52.640 And that's a good spot for this team to be in. 0:58:52.760 --> 0:58:54.680 I think, especially after the run that they went on 0:58:54.840 --> 0:58:57.360 last year, they've slightly improved offensively. 0:58:57.760 --> 0:58:59.840 There's a lot of ifs. There's a lot of if. 0:58:59.640 --> 0:59:01.880 This has happens, then this will be good all over 0:59:01.920 --> 0:59:05.320 that roster, guys like Spencer Steeer, guys like Matt McClain 0:59:05.400 --> 0:59:07.959 most notably. But when most of the spots are taken 0:59:08.040 --> 0:59:10.240 up and you know who's going to be where just 0:59:10.280 --> 0:59:12.400 about every day and you've been there and been to 0:59:12.400 --> 0:59:14.440 the playoffs with that group, I think that gives him 0:59:14.480 --> 0:59:15.200 a lot of confidence. 0:59:15.280 --> 0:59:17.840 Yeah, but here's you know, the questions will pop up. 0:59:18.080 --> 0:59:21.720 Ces is a question now he is injured. Injury set 0:59:21.760 --> 0:59:23.880 back for him. Now, grant you only had two O 0:59:24.000 --> 0:59:26.400 six last year, there's only one trajectory for him hopefully, 0:59:26.400 --> 0:59:29.640 and that is up. Yeah, And Terry said, ah, you know, 0:59:29.680 --> 0:59:31.400 he's kind of running through it and we'll see what happens. 0:59:31.400 --> 0:59:33.680 But I've heard this before and say it's gonna happen 0:59:33.720 --> 0:59:35.040 with him, but it's like, next thing, you know, it's 0:59:35.120 --> 0:59:36.240 he's going to miss Opening Day. 0:59:36.520 --> 0:59:38.120 Well, I don't think he's going to make this team, 0:59:38.160 --> 0:59:39.680 so I don't know that it's that big of a deal. 0:59:39.800 --> 0:59:42.320 But he's one of those guys where it's like, hey, 0:59:42.320 --> 0:59:44.720 if he has a nice spring, he could be that 0:59:44.880 --> 0:59:47.520 dude at the end of the benches, the backup infield, right, 0:59:47.760 --> 0:59:49.320 And I was kind of hoping to see that because 0:59:49.360 --> 0:59:50.960 I think a lot of Reds fans would say that 0:59:50.960 --> 0:59:53.640 that Cees is a likable guy, a guy that you 0:59:53.720 --> 0:59:55.840 want to see succeed. But it just feels like that 0:59:56.000 --> 0:59:58.600 something's always happened once he gets to the big leagues 0:59:58.600 --> 1:00:01.160 and he can't overcome it. I remember last year he 1:00:01.200 --> 1:00:03.480 finally got to the big leagues, had that awesome walk 1:00:03.520 --> 1:00:06.880 off home run and we're thinking, okay, ces is back 1:00:07.080 --> 1:00:08.720 and he was back in the minor leagues a couple 1:00:08.760 --> 1:00:10.840 of weeks later, and he wasn't even with the Big 1:00:10.920 --> 1:00:13.840 League Club on Christian and Carnassio and Strand Bobblehead Night 1:00:14.200 --> 1:00:17.600 later that season. Right, So yeah, he's one of those guys. 1:00:17.600 --> 1:00:19.320 It does seem like he's only gonna miss a couple 1:00:19.320 --> 1:00:21.280 of games, a couple of the spring games. Say he's 1:00:21.320 --> 1:00:23.480 on a running program. So hopefully it's not something that last. 1:00:23.680 --> 1:00:24.240 Good good, all right. 1:00:24.280 --> 1:00:26.720 The big news out today sports wise, speaking of the Reds, 1:00:26.720 --> 1:00:30.520 Phil Castellini taking helm over from his dad Bob in 1:00:30.600 --> 1:00:32.520 Red's Country and resignation. We look at this, go, okay, 1:00:32.560 --> 1:00:35.480 when Phil Casteli we know the track. Should we care? 1:00:35.560 --> 1:00:36.640 Is this? Does it matter? 1:00:37.440 --> 1:00:37.560 Uh? 1:00:37.840 --> 1:00:41.960 I do think Reds fans should care because Phil Castellini 1:00:42.400 --> 1:00:46.160 has greatly and repeatedly offended Reds fans over the years. 1:00:46.640 --> 1:00:49.000 He's made you feel like crap, He's made you feel 1:00:49.000 --> 1:00:52.400 like you don't matter. And now officially he's the guy 1:00:52.480 --> 1:00:55.840 that's in charge. Now, I'm willing to give Phil Castellini 1:00:55.880 --> 1:00:58.520 a chance. And you could say that since he's been 1:00:58.560 --> 1:01:00.760 in charge, which really was at the end of last year, 1:01:01.400 --> 1:01:03.440 they did make a run at Kyle Schwarber. Whether it 1:01:03.440 --> 1:01:05.840 was a serious run or not, they did, and they 1:01:05.840 --> 1:01:08.560 did spend more than their allotted budget to go and 1:01:08.600 --> 1:01:12.000 get Auohenio Surez. So I'm hoping that that is a 1:01:12.040 --> 1:01:14.720 sign of things to come in the Phil Castellini regime. 1:01:15.280 --> 1:01:16.960 But I think a lot of Reds fans would be 1:01:17.080 --> 1:01:19.560 justified in saying I have my doubts about that actually 1:01:19.560 --> 1:01:20.080 being the case. 1:01:20.120 --> 1:01:21.840 And here's the guy who just got booed not long 1:01:21.880 --> 1:01:22.520 ago e Xavier. 1:01:22.640 --> 1:01:25.880 Yeah, he's not liked and there are plenty of reasons 1:01:25.920 --> 1:01:28.320 not to like him. Now, I'm not surprised by this. 1:01:28.400 --> 1:01:31.200 Nobody should be surprised by this. Who knows what it's 1:01:31.200 --> 1:01:33.280 going to look like, especially next year when there probably 1:01:33.320 --> 1:01:36.040 won't be any baseball. But I'm willing to at least 1:01:36.040 --> 1:01:38.240 give Phil a chance now that he's the guy who's 1:01:38.280 --> 1:01:40.200 in charge. 1:01:40.320 --> 1:01:41.680 And I think that's fair. I wish I hope more 1:01:41.680 --> 1:01:43.760 of Reds fans do that, because can he turn that page? 1:01:43.880 --> 1:01:46.120 And because all you need to do is win, I 1:01:46.120 --> 1:01:48.960 mean go to the playoffs, but advance. Yeah, and it 1:01:49.240 --> 1:01:50.400 fixes everything. 1:01:50.200 --> 1:01:52.960 Right, Like you know, it's that I always talk about this, 1:01:53.080 --> 1:01:55.880 that famous quote from Paul Brown that says winning makes 1:01:55.920 --> 1:01:59.640 believers of us all. Phil Castellini can change his image, 1:01:59.800 --> 1:02:02.280 can be a hero in this town if he commits 1:02:02.320 --> 1:02:05.440 to building a winning team and not a money making team, 1:02:05.920 --> 1:02:09.200 and that's up to him to decide. And I personally 1:02:09.280 --> 1:02:11.800 don't know if that's something that he cares about. I'm 1:02:11.800 --> 1:02:14.560 not sure if that's something that he really worries about. 1:02:14.680 --> 1:02:17.400 Are you say that there's this team in Cincinnati cares 1:02:17.400 --> 1:02:18.400 more about money than winning. 1:02:19.800 --> 1:02:21.480 I don't know that there's a team in the world 1:02:21.480 --> 1:02:24.560 who cares more about money than winning, or who cares 1:02:24.640 --> 1:02:25.800 more about winning than money. 1:02:25.880 --> 1:02:29.800 Yeah, so well here it's maybe a little more more. 1:02:29.920 --> 1:02:33.640 Speaking of which, Trey Hendrickson franchise Tager Now, no, thank you, 1:02:34.960 --> 1:02:38.520 move on hard pass, Yeah, move on a thousand with that. 1:02:38.680 --> 1:02:40.680 It's just there's no need for it. Yeah. 1:02:40.880 --> 1:02:44.440 Maybe they think there's only been seven players in the 1:02:44.520 --> 1:02:46.880 last ten years or so, or maybe in the last 1:02:46.920 --> 1:02:50.400 fifteen that have actually been traded once they've been tagged. 1:02:51.480 --> 1:02:54.479 Yeah, it's just not going to be easy. It's younger, 1:02:54.520 --> 1:02:56.120 and let's face it, it's yeah good. 1:02:56.200 --> 1:02:58.840 Yeah, you would then have to negotiate with the other team, 1:02:58.920 --> 1:03:01.840 with the agent with a come up with something that 1:03:01.880 --> 1:03:02.240 makes sense. 1:03:02.280 --> 1:03:04.280 I just don't know if that's seven games too. It's 1:03:04.320 --> 1:03:06.400 like it's tough to it's just just move on. 1:03:08.600 --> 1:03:08.800 FC. 1:03:09.000 --> 1:03:11.440 By the way, it's that time of year ready, It's 1:03:11.600 --> 1:03:14.000 like NASCAR Fokker, isn't that. It's like there's hardly any 1:03:14.000 --> 1:03:17.120 offseason they ended that, they've ended their preseason now and 1:03:17.200 --> 1:03:23.040 they're in that kunka concat. It just rolls off the tongue. 1:03:23.280 --> 1:03:24.840 Uh as they get ready to play and they've got 1:03:24.840 --> 1:03:26.360 some new pieces in there and they're still trying to 1:03:26.360 --> 1:03:26.919 figure it out. 1:03:27.400 --> 1:03:29.600 Yeah, I'm curious to see what it looks like because 1:03:29.600 --> 1:03:31.840 it feels like it's been kind of a quiet off 1:03:31.920 --> 1:03:34.680 season for f C Cincinnati and maybe not as much 1:03:34.720 --> 1:03:38.000 done as they expected. But the the part about their 1:03:38.000 --> 1:03:41.800 season that's so so interesting in their schedule and their 1:03:41.840 --> 1:03:44.880 calendar is that there's a lot of time between now 1:03:44.960 --> 1:03:47.560 and the stretch run to really build up, figure out 1:03:47.560 --> 1:03:49.720 what you have, and then I think what they've been 1:03:49.760 --> 1:03:51.840 really good at the last couple of years is finding 1:03:51.880 --> 1:03:53.840 that piece, maybe not at the start of the season, 1:03:54.120 --> 1:03:56.040 but early on or at the midway point that can 1:03:56.040 --> 1:03:58.360 come in and give them that jolt going into the 1:03:58.360 --> 1:04:01.000 stretch run. Now the calendar's changing a little bit, we're 1:04:01.000 --> 1:04:02.560 gonna learn about that a little bit more today with 1:04:02.560 --> 1:04:05.920 Tom Glaider on our show and figure out exactly what 1:04:05.960 --> 1:04:08.040 that means and what the difference will be. But they've 1:04:08.080 --> 1:04:11.080 shown an ability in the past to figure out what 1:04:11.120 --> 1:04:13.760 they have and plug in the right piece to get 1:04:13.760 --> 1:04:16.160 them to the postseason. Okay, good, So FC is starting 1:04:16.160 --> 1:04:17.120 to get fired up as well. 1:04:17.160 --> 1:04:17.360 Now. 1:04:17.440 --> 1:04:21.360 No one embraces the sports culture and certainly the sports 1:04:21.360 --> 1:04:26.480 haberdasherie than one Austin Elmore a haberdashery. He is always 1:04:26.480 --> 1:04:29.920 the word I've never heard, always dripped up wearing Bengals 1:04:30.160 --> 1:04:34.640 reds Ohio State Michigan. He wears pretty much just wearing 1:04:34.680 --> 1:04:37.680 a hat usually. But you got you got a Jordan's 1:04:37.800 --> 1:04:40.120 a sweatshirt on right, a Cruise shirt, you got the 1:04:40.120 --> 1:04:44.200 Bengals flack m on. You look good. Thanks, You're always 1:04:44.240 --> 1:04:46.600 well dressed. Okay, thank you. So no one leans more 1:04:46.640 --> 1:04:49.520 into gear than you do, I would say Sarah at 1:04:49.560 --> 1:04:52.520 least does. She's a front runner though with it well, 1:04:52.600 --> 1:04:53.800 I mean no doubt. I mean now, all of a 1:04:53.840 --> 1:04:56.440 sudden she's a Miami fan. Yeah, I mean gratituate. It's 1:04:56.480 --> 1:04:58.200 like I thought she went all these years. I thought 1:04:58.200 --> 1:05:01.040 you went to UC Yeah, no kidding. So he's up. 1:05:02.200 --> 1:05:04.400 You see suck Now she's on the Miami bandwagon. 1:05:05.560 --> 1:05:05.680 Uh. 1:05:05.800 --> 1:05:10.480 Nonetheless, what do you make of the FC Seven Hills kit? 1:05:10.640 --> 1:05:12.160 I was about to ask you, can you name the 1:05:12.200 --> 1:05:15.920 seven Hills of Cincinnati? Sure? Okay, go now, go ahead. 1:05:16.360 --> 1:05:18.880 Well, according to Google, who knows this is a I 1:05:19.280 --> 1:05:23.560 so Mount Adams. There's Mount Adams, You got Mount Auburn, 1:05:23.640 --> 1:05:28.080 you go, Anut Hills, Dopey, Vine Street Hill, College Hill, 1:05:28.720 --> 1:05:31.840 fair Mount, and Mount Harrison which is now Price Hill. 1:05:32.480 --> 1:05:35.480 Okay, okay, anyways, where's Mount Harrison? They're sick. 1:05:36.120 --> 1:05:39.240 I think they're my favorite uniform that c Cincinnati's ever made, right, 1:05:39.520 --> 1:05:41.320 and that includes the ones that they made for us 1:05:41.320 --> 1:05:43.680 and brought to us last year. I mean, white with 1:05:43.760 --> 1:05:47.800 the orange stripes, just a beautiful look. Kits every year. 1:05:47.600 --> 1:05:49.760 Across in my less phone, and they're the kind of 1:05:49.800 --> 1:05:51.880 what do you call the zigzag stripes only their vertical 1:05:51.880 --> 1:05:54.880 for the seven Hills and their seven peaks. It's really neat. Yeah. 1:05:54.960 --> 1:05:57.040 I love that sort of creativity. A couple of years 1:05:57.040 --> 1:05:59.200 ago they did the orange one and it was kind 1:05:59.200 --> 1:06:01.920 of based off of the river, which I thought was cool. Yeah, 1:06:02.120 --> 1:06:04.040 and I love that their their ability to just kind 1:06:04.040 --> 1:06:06.120 of incorporate the city and the different elements of the 1:06:06.160 --> 1:06:06.800 city into each other. 1:06:06.920 --> 1:06:08.760 I want to see like next to the because every 1:06:08.800 --> 1:06:10.320 year they do new kid, the one that has like 1:06:10.880 --> 1:06:12.680 a tribute to chili where it's just like they have 1:06:12.760 --> 1:06:14.840 sauce just all over the uniform, you know what I mean, 1:06:14.840 --> 1:06:16.000 in the front of it, like I ay chili. 1:06:16.080 --> 1:06:18.280 You know, the Reds are supposed to update their City 1:06:18.280 --> 1:06:21.960 Connect uniform soon. And you know we've seen teams like 1:06:22.000 --> 1:06:24.800 Milwaukee they had a grill on theirs because they asked 1:06:24.800 --> 1:06:27.320 them for tailgate and fast feats and all that stuff. 1:06:27.480 --> 1:06:30.400 I do wonder if there will be, yeah, some sort 1:06:30.400 --> 1:06:33.640 of a chili aspect, the Chili Connect Jersey, the Chili Connect. 1:06:33.640 --> 1:06:34.160 How about that? 1:06:34.200 --> 1:06:35.880 I mean, you could make a lot of mone you 1:06:36.080 --> 1:06:39.400 really really could, or if they did. Now, last year 1:06:39.440 --> 1:06:44.480 the Chicago White Sox did a Chicago Bulls style uniform. 1:06:44.680 --> 1:06:46.680 Could the Reds make a little dough on some origin 1:06:46.800 --> 1:06:48.240 black all right? Perhaps? 1:06:48.400 --> 1:06:48.720 Like it? 1:06:48.920 --> 1:06:51.000 All right, we'll find out partner would make you buy 1:06:51.200 --> 1:06:54.360 the stuff anyway, all right? Quickly? Then Olympics was teased 1:06:54.360 --> 1:06:56.120 here where we're not talking about condoms, are actually talking 1:06:56.120 --> 1:06:59.120 about play as you know, I am sick, sick sick 1:06:59.120 --> 1:07:02.120 for the puck last night watching the US women's by 1:07:02.160 --> 1:07:05.080 the way, which I normally don't watch with hockey. I'll 1:07:05.080 --> 1:07:07.080 tell you what. They're fun to watch because they're fast. 1:07:07.120 --> 1:07:08.920 You think there's twenty of them out there. It's awesome. 1:07:08.920 --> 1:07:11.520 They beat Canada five nothing. I saw it on Wednesday. 1:07:11.560 --> 1:07:14.720 I watched yesterday the US men's team. Kind of a 1:07:14.720 --> 1:07:17.640 slow start here. They won five two of Latvia two 1:07:17.680 --> 1:07:19.960 just allowed goes to the US men's team. But I'll 1:07:19.960 --> 1:07:21.320 tell you what you want to talk about, like a 1:07:21.400 --> 1:07:24.520 dream situation, because if you played hockey, generally played like 1:07:24.800 --> 1:07:26.840 on the street or in your backyard or pond or 1:07:26.880 --> 1:07:29.240 something like that somewhere, and you played with your friends 1:07:29.240 --> 1:07:32.120 and your brothers and stuff like that. In this game yesterday, 1:07:32.440 --> 1:07:36.520 Brady could Chuck scored a goal and the pass his 1:07:36.560 --> 1:07:38.760 assistant was from his brother Matthew. It's really cool. It 1:07:38.840 --> 1:07:40.480 was so cool and those guys. 1:07:40.720 --> 1:07:44.560 I remember it was at last fall when they the 1:07:44.560 --> 1:07:47.520 four an Asians face off, and to see them playing together, 1:07:47.680 --> 1:07:50.200 and now they've taken the Olympic break for this, it's 1:07:50.240 --> 1:07:50.760 just really cool. 1:07:50.800 --> 1:07:51.440 It's fun to see. 1:07:51.480 --> 1:07:53.400 It was a bad day yesterday to be a Latvian 1:07:53.840 --> 1:07:56.520 and the Columbus crew goalkeeper who got roughed up Elvis 1:07:57.080 --> 1:07:58.960 guy named Elvis and had to take him out. 1:07:58.960 --> 1:08:00.720 They said, Elvis is the building. 1:08:01.000 --> 1:08:03.560 They had like two thousand shots on this poor guy 1:08:03.120 --> 1:08:06.320 was fun but I get it. Yeah, all this is out. 1:08:06.920 --> 1:08:11.160 He was he was struggling, was just getting we'll see later. 1:08:11.200 --> 1:08:16.080 Elf elve Elf, the Elf Columbus goalie. 1:08:16.280 --> 1:08:17.040 Yeah, but. 1:08:19.439 --> 1:08:21.400 The hottest team in the NHL prior to the break. 1:08:21.479 --> 1:08:23.200 So they probably won't win a game for three months. 1:08:23.240 --> 1:08:25.320 It could be because he's gonna be nursing a sore growing. 1:08:27.120 --> 1:08:28.800 That's what happened to those I've never seen a goalie 1:08:28.800 --> 1:08:30.600 taking knee. I mean he was getting he was just 1:08:30.640 --> 1:08:35.880 getting peppered, just peppered. And Rich Rahonan I think I'm 1:08:35.920 --> 1:08:39.960 saying the name right. The oldest Winter Olympian. They lost, 1:08:40.000 --> 1:08:42.680 the Americans lost of Switzerland. But a curler fifty four 1:08:42.760 --> 1:08:44.880 years old, the. 1:08:44.840 --> 1:08:53.120 Oldest Olympians fifty medal. I don't think he's a medal event. 1:08:54.240 --> 1:08:58.600 He took part in the Americans eight three loss of Switzerland. Loser. Yeah, but. 1:09:01.000 --> 1:09:03.720 That's the best old guys out there. Yeah, that's all right, 1:09:03.760 --> 1:09:06.600 that's kind of cool. How excited that you don't have 1:09:06.720 --> 1:09:08.960 to worry, don't have to worry about the condoms looking 1:09:09.000 --> 1:09:13.720 at mine? How excited are you for the NBA All 1:09:13.720 --> 1:09:16.240 Star Weekend coming up this week? I am not excited 1:09:16.240 --> 1:09:18.920 at all. Me neither used to be the best weekend 1:09:18.960 --> 1:09:21.000 of my childhood. I might have to get more in 1:09:21.040 --> 1:09:22.120 the NBA. I really want to. 1:09:22.160 --> 1:09:24.719 I just like I have time to watch. 1:09:25.720 --> 1:09:27.400 I watch them like it's fun. I just never have 1:09:27.439 --> 1:09:29.760 a hot take. Lebron James legacy is that he killed 1:09:29.800 --> 1:09:33.880 All Star Weekend. I won't participate in the dunk contest. 1:09:34.360 --> 1:09:36.879 Real quick. Olympic I wanted to ask you this, Yes, yes, 1:09:37.000 --> 1:09:40.720 least and most interesting sport Winter Olympics go least interesting 1:09:41.080 --> 1:09:50.840 I think is the loge really yeah? I think that's 1:09:50.880 --> 1:09:51.439 kind of boring. 1:09:52.760 --> 1:09:58.280 And then most interesting to me personally probably the curly, 1:09:59.000 --> 1:10:01.719 just because it feels, I'm that really intense. Everyone seems 1:10:01.720 --> 1:10:02.760 to be dialed into the curly. 1:10:02.880 --> 1:10:05.320 That should be a question. What's guilty pleasure? Curling? Downhill 1:10:05.360 --> 1:10:08.680 skating is fun though, that's like that is risky. I'm 1:10:08.680 --> 1:10:10.160 not I'm not a big figure skating. I want to 1:10:10.200 --> 1:10:12.599 see the quad. God though, that that looks really cool. Yeah, 1:10:12.600 --> 1:10:15.799 apparently tonight big night for him. That's pretty good. Obviously, 1:10:15.800 --> 1:10:16.800 hockey's number one for me. 1:10:16.880 --> 1:10:20.280 But I used to really like speed skating back with 1:10:20.320 --> 1:10:24.639 your buddy Apolo Antonoo. Yeah, I mean those those skates 1:10:24.640 --> 1:10:27.000 that they wear. Yeah, you know what, I would change 1:10:27.040 --> 1:10:29.160 my answer. That's the most interesting, all right. That's I 1:10:29.280 --> 1:10:32.160 was watching the five thousand meter yesterday. Yeah, I mean 1:10:32.200 --> 1:10:34.960 that takes some serious it really does. It does skeleton, 1:10:35.000 --> 1:10:36.559 which is a belly down sled. I mean it's like 1:10:36.680 --> 1:10:38.400 I watch it and go I watch it because it's 1:10:38.400 --> 1:10:39.599 like WestEd do it in the back. 1:10:39.479 --> 1:10:43.679 Are you know? Yeah? Yeah, just become a mystique. Rowe 1:10:43.720 --> 1:10:46.360 by the way, US athlete. She hates roller coasters and 1:10:46.479 --> 1:10:48.840 is allergic to ice, she says, and she is our 1:10:49.000 --> 1:10:50.960 representing us on the sky. How did you get to 1:10:51.000 --> 1:10:52.880 where you are? I don't know. It's a great thing. 1:10:53.280 --> 1:10:54.519 I just want to watch it to see. 1:10:54.600 --> 1:10:57.559 That's as good of a story as Lindsay Vaughn. She 1:10:57.600 --> 1:10:58.680 overcame the elements. 1:10:58.720 --> 1:11:00.640 I gotta get going Austin Almore today new and I 1:11:00.640 --> 1:11:03.320 EESPN fifty to thirty, Thank you, thank you shot or 1:11:03.400 --> 1:11:05.840 from now Willy is here and I'm sure either he 1:11:05.960 --> 1:11:08.160 or I don't know if it's Dan Carroll or Canbers. Anyway, 1:11:08.160 --> 1:11:11.280 they'll be complaining about why why the bath the Olympics 1:11:11.280 --> 1:11:13.800 is alonging biathletes and the biathlon, speaking of fifty four 1:11:13.880 --> 1:11:15.920 year old Olympians, got to explain to him to the 1:11:15.920 --> 1:11:17.280 biathlon is not what he thinks it is. 1:11:17.280 --> 1:11:23.879 Seven hundred WW. Cincinnati got flown back on seven hundred WW. 1:11:24.040 --> 1:11:26.599 So what is a Christian? Hey, what what's a Christian? 1:11:26.600 --> 1:11:30.439 Most people answer, well, someone who believes in Christ. Dummy, Yeah, 1:11:30.479 --> 1:11:33.800 but that's not really the whole answer. It's simply not 1:11:33.880 --> 1:11:35.240 just self identification. 1:11:35.360 --> 1:11:37.880 It's really if you are a Christian, the definition would 1:11:37.880 --> 1:11:39.880 be someone who has a complete commitment to Christ. And 1:11:40.439 --> 1:11:43.880 that's where we have a bite a problem. The cafeteria 1:11:43.920 --> 1:11:46.320 Catholic comes to mind, the cultural Christian. Of course, all 1:11:46.360 --> 1:11:49.560 this then impacts what things like our election one of 1:11:49.600 --> 1:11:52.599 the reasons Trump got won and he did really, really 1:11:52.640 --> 1:11:54.960 really well, so much better than Democrats traditionally do, but 1:11:55.040 --> 1:11:58.760 especially in this cycle with Christian conservatives, those on the 1:11:58.760 --> 1:12:02.240 far right, and and there's a problem of the cultural Christian, 1:12:02.320 --> 1:12:04.280 and that is someone well we'll get the definition of 1:12:04.320 --> 1:12:06.919 what that is. Maybe you are that person. John Horvett 1:12:06.960 --> 1:12:10.800 is a religious scholar, researcher, educator and this joins the 1:12:10.840 --> 1:12:12.600 show now to talk about it on seven hundred W 1:12:12.680 --> 1:12:13.960 Dowty John, good morning, how are you. 1:12:15.000 --> 1:12:16.519 Good morning, Great to be on the show. 1:12:16.640 --> 1:12:19.800 Yeah, So define that. What is a cultural Christian is 1:12:19.800 --> 1:12:22.639 that like a cafeteria Catholic is what we call them 1:12:22.640 --> 1:12:25.479 here in heavily Catholic Cincinnati. Someone who shows up for 1:12:25.560 --> 1:12:27.960 Easter and Christmas Mass, the Creasers and then you know 1:12:28.080 --> 1:12:31.120 pretty much does their own things. Has you know, white 1:12:31.600 --> 1:12:33.760 spouses on birth control, you know all the things that 1:12:33.800 --> 1:12:35.960 you told you are not supposed to do. That's cafe 1:12:35.960 --> 1:12:37.120 deia Catholic. It's the same thing. 1:12:38.080 --> 1:12:41.120 No, No, it's it's even much less much much less. 1:12:41.160 --> 1:12:43.240 You don't have to really do anything. You don't have 1:12:43.280 --> 1:12:45.280 to go to church, you don't have to believe in God, 1:12:45.400 --> 1:12:47.240 you don't have to believe in it anything. All you 1:12:47.280 --> 1:12:51.040 have to do is identify, I recognize the value of 1:12:51.080 --> 1:12:55.360 some Christian cultural thing. It's something that's nice that you enjoy, 1:12:55.960 --> 1:12:59.559 but has nothing actually to do with accepting Christ or 1:12:59.680 --> 1:13:04.440 having faith in Christ or anything having to do with Christianity. 1:13:04.160 --> 1:13:09.080 As it's it turns religion into a culture identity marker. 1:13:09.760 --> 1:13:13.280 You know, it's just how identify myself, and you know, 1:13:13.479 --> 1:13:17.360 it has it's a lot of the trapping, but when 1:13:17.400 --> 1:13:21.120 you try to dig deep inside, there's really nothing there. 1:13:23.080 --> 1:13:24.639 Well, And the reason I bring this up is because 1:13:24.640 --> 1:13:26.400 I think that was reflected in this election. There's a 1:13:26.400 --> 1:13:28.439 lot of people that seem to be what you're defining 1:13:28.479 --> 1:13:30.760 as a cultural Christian here that is like I look 1:13:30.800 --> 1:13:33.840 at it and go, yeah, that's really not what Christ 1:13:33.840 --> 1:13:35.640 taught or what the belief of Christian is. But I 1:13:35.720 --> 1:13:37.640 damn it, I'm I'm a Christian and I'm going to 1:13:37.760 --> 1:13:40.120 vote for well in this case, to President Trump, I 1:13:40.360 --> 1:13:42.920 think he did really really well with a cultural conservatives 1:13:43.000 --> 1:13:44.000 or cultural Christians you're. 1:13:43.920 --> 1:13:47.599 Talking about, yeah, I mean, yeah, definitely you have some 1:13:47.640 --> 1:13:50.600 overlaps there, but I mean we're talking like people like 1:13:50.720 --> 1:13:53.679 Ellen Loss, Ellen Moss, Ellen Mosk. He is a self 1:13:53.720 --> 1:13:59.840 identified Christian book cultural Christian, whereby he doesn't have anything there. 1:14:00.040 --> 1:14:03.599 I mean, his life doesn't follow a moral code. It's 1:14:03.680 --> 1:14:08.200 just a very it's a very feel good thing. It 1:14:08.320 --> 1:14:11.960 certainly you know, it plays well on media, but it 1:14:12.000 --> 1:14:15.840 doesn't really have that that that's that uh that that 1:14:16.000 --> 1:14:20.960 depth that makes Christianity so powerful. It's just a stripped 1:14:20.960 --> 1:14:21.559 down version. 1:14:21.680 --> 1:14:23.679 Well, I have a problem with Christians that are dictating 1:14:23.720 --> 1:14:26.000 what our policies are. These these folks have absolutely no 1:14:26.040 --> 1:14:28.680 idea what Christian and mere being Christian means. And it's 1:14:28.720 --> 1:14:31.600 a for those who are true Christians. It's a commitment 1:14:32.080 --> 1:14:35.559 and it's you know you are You're only answering to 1:14:35.920 --> 1:14:38.439 your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. There's no one else 1:14:38.479 --> 1:14:41.000 there do you answer to. Now, you obviously, like anyone else, 1:14:41.080 --> 1:14:44.160 have certain things that you would favor, to be sure, 1:14:44.240 --> 1:14:47.200 but most people aren't making that commitment that you're talking. 1:14:47.000 --> 1:14:50.240 About, right exactly. I mean you have people like Joe 1:14:50.360 --> 1:14:52.840 Rogan who says I like Jesus and now he becomes 1:14:52.840 --> 1:14:57.360 a critic cultural Christian. You have people like Vive Karamasami 1:14:57.400 --> 1:15:02.160 who says God is real and he's not even he's 1:15:02.600 --> 1:15:06.439 a Hindu. I mean, it's just it's just crazy. How 1:15:06.600 --> 1:15:09.840 you know the media picks up on something, you make 1:15:10.200 --> 1:15:14.240 a comment or statement, and you've become a cultural Christian. Uh. 1:15:14.760 --> 1:15:16.920 You know, our face is much worth, much much more 1:15:16.960 --> 1:15:19.320 than that and much more powerful when we believe in 1:15:19.400 --> 1:15:22.479 something and we we we practice Gods law. You know, 1:15:22.520 --> 1:15:26.160 it's just a very important distinction. And these people are 1:15:26.160 --> 1:15:28.280 getting a lot of you know, getting a lot of press, 1:15:28.280 --> 1:15:31.360 they're getting a lot of uh, you know, credit for 1:15:31.439 --> 1:15:32.600 something that they really don't have. 1:15:33.080 --> 1:15:36.080 Okay, but here's the problem. There is no universal agreement 1:15:36.080 --> 1:15:38.760 on who has the authority to define a Christian. There's 1:15:38.800 --> 1:15:41.760 no true Christian identity. It's a It's certainly been an 1:15:41.960 --> 1:15:45.320 ongoing theological and philosophical debate longer than we've been here, 1:15:45.360 --> 1:15:47.200 longer than when we leave it this earth. That there 1:15:47.240 --> 1:15:49.840 are different Christian traditions that have different answer that question, 1:15:50.320 --> 1:15:53.360 and even within those sects there can be debate about 1:15:53.360 --> 1:15:56.800 what constitutes authentic Christian identity. So if you can't have 1:15:56.880 --> 1:16:00.360 a source, as it were, on what truly makes up 1:16:00.360 --> 1:16:04.200 a Christian, who are you to say, John Horrovett, Well, I. 1:16:04.120 --> 1:16:06.679 Mean that is that is the point. It's not a Christian. 1:16:06.760 --> 1:16:09.240 We're not debating whether a person is Christian or not. 1:16:09.320 --> 1:16:14.240 It's just cultural Christians. They want to put Christianity into 1:16:14.240 --> 1:16:16.759 a box and say it it's just part of culture. 1:16:17.200 --> 1:16:19.800 It doesn't really matter what you know, what you really are. 1:16:20.680 --> 1:16:23.120 Just keep it cultural and don't make it religious. And 1:16:23.439 --> 1:16:25.240 we'll be it will be all right with that. And 1:16:25.320 --> 1:16:28.040 I think that's where the big problem is. Just a 1:16:28.120 --> 1:16:31.639 vague sympathy for Christianity makes you Christian. It doesn't, obviously doesn't. 1:16:31.640 --> 1:16:34.760 And these people would probably be the first to say 1:16:34.760 --> 1:16:40.240 we're not Christian. But there's for example, Christopher Dawkins, excuse me, 1:16:40.320 --> 1:16:43.560 Richard Dawkins. He said he's an atheist, but he identifies 1:16:43.600 --> 1:16:45.920 as a cultural Christian because he says, you know, the 1:16:46.000 --> 1:16:47.920 culture has some nice things in it that you know 1:16:48.000 --> 1:16:52.400 has done, has done some good. Obviously, he doesn't want 1:16:52.439 --> 1:16:55.360 to be a Christian. He's just a cultural Christian. And 1:16:55.360 --> 1:16:58.040 and that causes a lot of confusion. And you know, 1:16:58.120 --> 1:16:59.840 that's that's where I think the danger is. 1:17:00.120 --> 1:17:02.439 Who doesn't like I mean, Baby Jesus Land and the Manger. 1:17:02.439 --> 1:17:04.800 You've got, the frankincense, You've got the Mystery of the Chair, 1:17:04.840 --> 1:17:07.120 You've got you know, who doesn't like Christmas? Or crying 1:17:07.120 --> 1:17:08.880 out loud. I a friend, good friend of mine who's 1:17:08.920 --> 1:17:11.200 Jewish his whole life. He's put up a Christmas tree 1:17:11.200 --> 1:17:12.400 because he likes Christmas trees. 1:17:13.240 --> 1:17:17.639 Yeah, you want to be the first to say he's 1:17:17.680 --> 1:17:21.800 not a Christian. In these particular. You know figures are 1:17:22.120 --> 1:17:26.480 you know, they're they're living on the they display the trappings, 1:17:26.720 --> 1:17:27.920 but they don't walk the walk. 1:17:29.040 --> 1:17:30.559 Is that so what's the damage? 1:17:30.600 --> 1:17:30.760 Then? 1:17:31.120 --> 1:17:33.400 Does that offend you? Because you're you're putting the I mean, 1:17:33.439 --> 1:17:35.000 you're putting the work in. You're going damn it. These 1:17:35.000 --> 1:17:37.559 people are getting credit for I'm working really hard to 1:17:37.560 --> 1:17:39.400 be a Christian here and these folks say there, but 1:17:39.400 --> 1:17:41.599 they're really not. Is that like more offensive to you 1:17:41.640 --> 1:17:43.200 than what's the damage? 1:17:43.320 --> 1:17:43.679 Lowers? 1:17:44.120 --> 1:17:46.880 It lowers the bar and makes it makes you know, 1:17:47.000 --> 1:17:49.720 Christianity something that makes it makes it a cultural thing, 1:17:49.800 --> 1:17:52.240 which for me is not a cultural thing. And I 1:17:52.240 --> 1:17:54.000 don't want to be put in that box. I think 1:17:54.040 --> 1:17:58.240 it it takes away from our the power of our message. 1:17:58.680 --> 1:18:01.479 I just think calling it something cultural and giving the 1:18:01.520 --> 1:18:02.879 idea it is something cultural. 1:18:03.160 --> 1:18:05.040 Yeah, but you know what, Jim, I'll push back a 1:18:05.040 --> 1:18:08.200 little on Meko. Like John Mellencamp said, ain't that America. 1:18:08.880 --> 1:18:11.240 We take everything in debase it in our culture. We 1:18:11.280 --> 1:18:16.680 take food, we take we we misappropriate things, and we 1:18:16.880 --> 1:18:19.040 twist it to our liking. Because we're Americans. We're the 1:18:19.040 --> 1:18:22.320 great melting pot and we unlike many countries have that 1:18:22.400 --> 1:18:24.920 going for still, where people from different nations come in, 1:18:24.960 --> 1:18:28.400 they assimilate, and we take their cultural gifts and we change. 1:18:28.400 --> 1:18:31.120 You know, I'm Italian, and you know the idea putting 1:18:31.120 --> 1:18:32.880 a ravioli in a can is offensive to a lot 1:18:32.920 --> 1:18:34.840 of Italians. But you know, God bless chef boy or 1:18:34.920 --> 1:18:38.040 d from Cleveland, Ohio who made a fortune in a 1:18:38.080 --> 1:18:40.960 household name overtaking Raviolian sticking a can Now it's sending 1:18:40.960 --> 1:18:43.320 close to real ravioli. But you can take that and 1:18:43.360 --> 1:18:46.000 do that with any culture and any religion and you 1:18:46.120 --> 1:18:48.479 have the same thing. And that is what America does. 1:18:48.520 --> 1:18:52.280 We take something and we homogenize it. 1:18:52.280 --> 1:18:55.519 Definitely, you have that aspect that doesn't it doesn't detract 1:18:55.520 --> 1:18:58.280 from the fact that those those those real things do 1:18:58.400 --> 1:19:01.200 exist and are very important in life people and very 1:19:01.200 --> 1:19:04.080 important the lives of a culture to to you know, 1:19:04.120 --> 1:19:09.040 to proclaim a Christianity and to disregard the moral codes 1:19:09.080 --> 1:19:11.960 that go along with it. You know, it's a based 1:19:12.120 --> 1:19:14.760 It does debate that, and Christians have a right to 1:19:14.760 --> 1:19:17.040 fight back and say, no, that's not what I stand for. 1:19:17.479 --> 1:19:20.919 You're you're completely misrepresented it. I mean, that's also very American, 1:19:21.040 --> 1:19:23.719 is too right to get to get into these debates. 1:19:23.760 --> 1:19:26.759 Yeah, we're talking about people who would never otherwise engage, 1:19:26.800 --> 1:19:28.599 but say, yeah, I just kind of identify with it. 1:19:28.800 --> 1:19:30.360 I also have a problem and this is going to 1:19:30.400 --> 1:19:33.800 piss a lot of people off, and I love it. 1:19:33.800 --> 1:19:36.400 It seems like the people who scream the loudest and 1:19:36.720 --> 1:19:38.280 show the rest of the world they are one hundred 1:19:38.280 --> 1:19:42.479 percent about Christ almost always aren't. Uh, And I'm talking 1:19:42.479 --> 1:19:44.479 about fake Christians? Is that you know, the well the 1:19:44.520 --> 1:19:48.280 cross and all the shirt, listen to the music even 1:19:48.320 --> 1:19:50.160 though it's not that good. I'm not talking about like 1:19:50.160 --> 1:19:53.200 you know, pop and Christian rock for example, and just 1:19:53.560 --> 1:19:57.040 because that's our culture because they but you know, behind 1:19:57.040 --> 1:19:59.559 the scenes, they're probably not as Christian as they would 1:19:59.600 --> 1:20:01.920 profess and project. Is that a problem as well? Is 1:20:01.920 --> 1:20:02.519 that the same thing? 1:20:03.800 --> 1:20:06.559 Well, definitely not, because at least these people profess that 1:20:06.680 --> 1:20:10.040 faith and are trying. You know, these are people who 1:20:10.080 --> 1:20:12.439 have you know, who really have nothing to do with 1:20:12.479 --> 1:20:15.800 the faith and are passed off as the faith. You know, 1:20:15.960 --> 1:20:18.760 gets people like Jordan Peterson, who is a complete atheist, 1:20:18.840 --> 1:20:22.280 you know, he's a cultural Christian, or you know Richard 1:20:22.360 --> 1:20:26.360 Dawkins or or you know, just these these these figures, 1:20:26.439 --> 1:20:29.559 these pop figures that are are just turning, you know, 1:20:29.600 --> 1:20:33.080 religion into a cultural identity identity marker and then and 1:20:33.200 --> 1:20:36.479 taking away from the actual powerful message that it's actually 1:20:36.760 --> 1:20:37.439 actually there. 1:20:37.960 --> 1:20:41.000 Yeah, I I I guess maybe because I've known a 1:20:41.040 --> 1:20:43.160 few people like what I was talking about there, and 1:20:43.160 --> 1:20:45.439 I've I've seen it firsthand. You know, go to a restaurant. 1:20:45.479 --> 1:20:47.439 Instead of leaving the tip, they leave a you know, 1:20:47.840 --> 1:20:49.160 some message about Jesus on this. 1:20:49.320 --> 1:20:51.160 Well, you had at a restaurant, you're expected to tip for 1:20:51.200 --> 1:20:51.840 the service here. 1:20:51.880 --> 1:20:54.400 That's telling somebody about Jesus. 1:20:54.439 --> 1:20:58.040 Isn't exactly currency, right it. Those are the people I 1:20:58.040 --> 1:21:00.439 have a problem with, quite honestly, because then you hear 1:21:00.479 --> 1:21:02.479 stories where they're, oh, yeah, well they also happen to 1:21:02.479 --> 1:21:04.719 be embezzling money from the church or they're taking money 1:21:04.720 --> 1:21:06.559 from this because they think they're entitled to it because 1:21:06.600 --> 1:21:09.200 they are so Christian. And I guess that's two sides 1:21:09.200 --> 1:21:11.080 of the same coin. Jim Horvat is here, our John 1:21:11.080 --> 1:21:14.400 Horvat rather is here as religious scholar, researcher, educator, return 1:21:14.439 --> 1:21:16.680 to orders the book. We're talking about the emergence of 1:21:16.720 --> 1:21:19.639 the cultural Christian and that is someone who says, yeah, 1:21:19.680 --> 1:21:21.920 I kind of like Christianity, but is really not a 1:21:22.040 --> 1:21:25.479 Christian and what impacts And we've seen that in election certainly, 1:21:25.800 --> 1:21:29.000 and the impact of the cultural Christian and kind of 1:21:29.000 --> 1:21:30.880 debasing that one of the things that make up the 1:21:30.880 --> 1:21:34.040 core belief is a Christian here in America anyway, I 1:21:34.040 --> 1:21:35.720 don't know about other countries, but for a number of 1:21:35.840 --> 1:21:39.479 years and right now it's been this way for a while. 1:21:40.040 --> 1:21:43.040 Abortion seems to be the one issue for Christians. And 1:21:43.080 --> 1:21:44.800 there's a lot of issues I can think of too 1:21:44.840 --> 1:21:47.280 that are big and important. But why did we get 1:21:47.320 --> 1:21:50.679 to the point where abortion equals Christianity or I guess 1:21:50.680 --> 1:21:53.600 anti abortion equals Christianity. 1:21:53.200 --> 1:21:56.559 It's a litmus point because obviously it is part of 1:21:56.640 --> 1:22:00.000 the moral code. I mean, the tech commandments, the fist commandment, 1:22:00.280 --> 1:22:04.000 shad not kill, you know, it's very very clear. And 1:22:04.400 --> 1:22:07.280 the belief in the in the that we are, you know, 1:22:07.400 --> 1:22:09.400 beings made an image and likeness to God, and that 1:22:09.560 --> 1:22:13.280 to destroy a human being in any in any point 1:22:13.280 --> 1:22:15.840 of its development will eventually. 1:22:15.600 --> 1:22:17.639 To two worst things. 1:22:17.680 --> 1:22:20.720 So I think it's a it's a valid point. And 1:22:21.160 --> 1:22:23.959 of course, you know, the cultural Christian would just sideline 1:22:24.000 --> 1:22:26.479 those kinds of things just as well. Those things aren't important, 1:22:26.680 --> 1:22:29.200 you know, the only thing important is that well. 1:22:29.200 --> 1:22:32.360 But I guess my point of that, John too, is 1:22:32.439 --> 1:22:35.880 that if you look back in history, for example, today, 1:22:35.880 --> 1:22:38.479 it's it's very very clear what the Christian doctorate is 1:22:38.479 --> 1:22:41.280 towards abortion, But if you go back to the what 1:22:41.400 --> 1:22:44.360 eighteen hundred and nineteenth century, it would be they're Christian leaders. 1:22:44.360 --> 1:22:46.960 Some opposed abortion, but most said nothing about it. They 1:22:46.960 --> 1:22:50.400 looked at as a private decision. Most Protestants were pretty 1:22:50.479 --> 1:22:52.840 nuanced about it, saying it was a private matter, and 1:22:52.880 --> 1:22:55.000 that went all the way through even the nineteen fifties. 1:22:56.160 --> 1:22:59.519 Christian religious identity and anti abortion activism came out largely 1:22:59.560 --> 1:23:02.439 in the seven and these as a political tool by 1:23:02.479 --> 1:23:07.680 the Republicans. The Southern Baptists. Southern Baptist supported abortions up 1:23:07.680 --> 1:23:10.600 in the end of the nineteen seventies, but near the 1:23:10.640 --> 1:23:12.719 end of the decade, in the eighties and the Reagan Revolution, 1:23:12.880 --> 1:23:14.639 they went absolutely in the other direction. 1:23:16.360 --> 1:23:19.120 I mean, abortion is an hypocritic ghost of the from 1:23:19.160 --> 1:23:21.240 the Greeks. It goes back to the Greeks. You know, 1:23:21.320 --> 1:23:24.799 you do not commit abortion. It's not something just recent 1:23:25.360 --> 1:23:26.320 I mean, it's always been. 1:23:26.400 --> 1:23:28.680 Not according to these not according to the church, as 1:23:28.720 --> 1:23:30.320 I just mentioned. And that's the thing is, you know, 1:23:30.360 --> 1:23:32.920 we're back to who decides what makes a Christian? And 1:23:32.920 --> 1:23:35.679 I would say, certainly a Southern Baptists are Christians, Protestants 1:23:35.720 --> 1:23:38.240 are Christians, Catholics are Christians. But it wasn't until the 1:23:38.280 --> 1:23:41.280 early nineteen eighties that abortion became the issue is today. 1:23:42.080 --> 1:23:45.640 If religion is about tradition, when we go back in 1:23:45.720 --> 1:23:48.320 time to the dawn of time in. 1:23:48.280 --> 1:23:50.720 The sixties, I know what the abortion issue was, OK, 1:23:50.880 --> 1:23:54.240 very hot back then, and it's been been a hot 1:23:54.280 --> 1:23:57.400 issue because but it wasn't a hot issue because most 1:23:57.400 --> 1:23:59.960 people did practice it. It was it was against the law. 1:24:01.560 --> 1:24:04.759 So I mean it is obviously is not an issue 1:24:04.760 --> 1:24:08.240 if something's against the law. It was something very clandestine, 1:24:08.320 --> 1:24:10.240 but it was it was always it was always considered 1:24:10.280 --> 1:24:13.439 against the law. Yeah, but at least from my Catholic tradition, 1:24:13.600 --> 1:24:14.559 I can see that. 1:24:14.800 --> 1:24:17.559 Yeah, I mean, I'm not necessarily talking about Catholics in Generalrey, 1:24:17.560 --> 1:24:19.479 We're talking about Christians as a whole here. And it's 1:24:19.520 --> 1:24:21.880 just interesting the shift that came in the nineteen eighties 1:24:21.920 --> 1:24:23.920 because prior to that they're like, Okay, well it's a 1:24:23.960 --> 1:24:26.439 private thing, and not that the Catholic Catholic Church was 1:24:26.439 --> 1:24:28.760 certainly against that, and great point that it was that 1:24:28.840 --> 1:24:30.800 it was illegal. But you know, there are plenty of 1:24:31.000 --> 1:24:34.200 Catholics and Christians that had backroom abortions. Some of them 1:24:34.240 --> 1:24:36.479 didn't turn out well, but it wasn't n till it 1:24:36.560 --> 1:24:38.920 was politicized, I guess, to the nineteen eighties. It's really 1:24:39.000 --> 1:24:42.280 became such the issue that is today where there's absolutely 1:24:42.320 --> 1:24:43.479 no wavering out whatsoever. 1:24:44.880 --> 1:24:47.600 Yeah, I mean, you can't mean, you can't take the 1:24:47.640 --> 1:24:50.560 life of a human being. And that's that's a big problem. 1:24:51.400 --> 1:24:53.559 John Horbad on the show this morning on seven hundred 1:24:53.600 --> 1:24:56.040 WW the rise of the cultural Christian we're talking about 1:24:56.040 --> 1:24:59.519 here too, and what about the societal impact on that. 1:25:00.080 --> 1:25:03.680 I know you you certainly are a devout Christian, and 1:25:03.720 --> 1:25:06.200 I think maybe this is personal for you, because yeah, 1:25:06.439 --> 1:25:08.880 it's kind of like saying, who is the biggest Bengal fan? Right, 1:25:08.920 --> 1:25:11.639 you couldn't have made that until you're blue in the face. 1:25:11.680 --> 1:25:13.240 There's no way to measure it. I think that's the 1:25:13.280 --> 1:25:15.519 problem and a lot of people, unfortunately, as I mentioned, 1:25:15.520 --> 1:25:18.479 with the fake Christians that I've seen tend to measure 1:25:18.479 --> 1:25:20.760 the more outward, the more you know, crosses that they wear, 1:25:20.840 --> 1:25:23.000 and bumper stickers that they have, and shirts and hats 1:25:23.000 --> 1:25:26.080 that they have that they tend to yell more loudly 1:25:26.120 --> 1:25:28.639 than most chriss I think the most christ Like people 1:25:28.640 --> 1:25:30.400 that I know in my life, and I'm talking about 1:25:30.439 --> 1:25:32.240 people who are there to serve God and no one else, 1:25:33.280 --> 1:25:36.840 they tend to not be as forward with their belief 1:25:37.040 --> 1:25:37.320 as some. 1:25:38.880 --> 1:25:41.320 Well, I mean, you're obliged to witness to the faith. 1:25:42.280 --> 1:25:44.920 How you how you manifest itself. So I mean it's 1:25:44.960 --> 1:25:47.719 not if you're hiding it. You have to absolutely show 1:25:47.720 --> 1:25:50.479 it and defend the faith when it is attacked in 1:25:50.560 --> 1:25:53.240 the even in the public square. So I mean, it 1:25:53.360 --> 1:25:55.920 is how you do it. It's it depends upon you. 1:25:56.000 --> 1:25:58.120 There are there are people and sinners who do it 1:25:58.280 --> 1:26:00.479 do it in ways it's obviously I would agree with. 1:26:00.640 --> 1:26:04.719 But uh, the the cultural Christian is is someone who 1:26:04.800 --> 1:26:07.679 was who just takes the bacon de lucids and even 1:26:07.680 --> 1:26:10.320 goes contrary to it. I mean, you see a lot 1:26:10.360 --> 1:26:12.720 of you see this in a lot of these very 1:26:12.840 --> 1:26:15.760 what they call hard right movements in Europe. You know, 1:26:15.920 --> 1:26:20.920 the the idea the alternatives for deutsch Land. You know, 1:26:20.960 --> 1:26:25.280 that's one of the big super rightous ones. They're cultural Christians. 1:26:25.320 --> 1:26:28.760 They're they there, they have they have a lot of externals. 1:26:28.800 --> 1:26:31.720 But you look at their philosophies and there's someone to say, 1:26:31.720 --> 1:26:35.880 we're open openly pagans. We go back to our German mythology. 1:26:36.320 --> 1:26:39.760 You look at the National Rally Party of France. You 1:26:39.800 --> 1:26:41.960 know they say that they with marine lapen. 1:26:42.640 --> 1:26:42.800 Uh. 1:26:42.880 --> 1:26:46.160 You know, they're being castigated as being super you know, 1:26:46.200 --> 1:26:50.600 super Christian. But if you look at their philosophies and 1:26:50.640 --> 1:26:53.799 there and they also are pagan and they also uh 1:26:53.880 --> 1:26:57.280 you know, have very very strange ideas and they will 1:26:57.800 --> 1:27:02.920 defend of positions that in no way are defendable by Christians. 1:27:03.600 --> 1:27:06.000 Yeah, and I think you are the silent majority and 1:27:06.080 --> 1:27:08.000 maybe that's majority of assilent minority when it comes to 1:27:08.000 --> 1:27:10.160 the faith, because you're very obviously very strong in that too, 1:27:10.600 --> 1:27:14.000 and you'll profess it. But you know, we're like anything 1:27:14.120 --> 1:27:17.360 is the damage is done because it's become so homogeneous 1:27:17.439 --> 1:27:20.240 that people just latch onto something cool and go, oh yeah, 1:27:20.240 --> 1:27:21.720 I'm part of that group. I'm like, it's like being 1:27:21.760 --> 1:27:25.160 a swiftye almost John Horvite, appreciate the time.
