WEBVTT - 2-27-26 Scott Sloan Show 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:02.440 Do you want to be an a mag. 0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.640 Here we go Friday Morning Scott Flunk Show, seven hundred WLW. 0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:09.320 Before we get into the fun stuff on Friday Morning's Joys, dude, 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:12.200 we've got business to take care of, including this. The 0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:15.400 City of Cincinnati's extending its contract with the law firm 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:18.840 here their independent Council Frost Brown Todd to review the 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:22.400 effectiveness of leadership within the Cincinnati Police Department of what. 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:27.600 You may recall that Chief Terry Fiji was suspended, not fired, 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.680 suspended back in October, and so they're going to do 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.640 an investigation. The city is and I guess we have 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:37.520 more investigating because the contrast was extended till the twenty eighth. 0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:40.000 Of course that's tomorrow. They said we still need more time, 0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:42.640 so we're going to give you another month. And the 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.720 problem with this is its costing taxpayer is more of 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:46.920 the third round, I guess is out the house. It 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.920 was nine thousand dollars to the extended play to tomorrow, 0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.360 and so you're talking close to fifty grand what's all 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:55.480 said and done, and again we have the issue here 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.240 is you fired someone in chief, Terry Thiji, and now 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.120 you need months to figure out why you fired her 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.160 in the first place. FOP President Ken Kober, welcome to 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:04.399 the show. 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.600 How are you, brother, Hey Scott, Thanks for having me. 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:11.800 Yeah, so forty nine k Diji's still on paid administrative leave. 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.280 She's still getting paid her two hundred and three thousand 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.400 dollars salary. I don't know if Henny got a bump. 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.440 I'd imagine he was as interim chief. This is costing 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.680 a ton of money. 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.679 Sure it is. Not only is it costing the taxpayers 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.240 a lot of money, there's a lot of uncertainty right 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:29.479 now in the police department. It's something that the men 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:31.920 and women of this department are owed to know who's 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:33.480 going to be in charge of this place and who's 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.120 going to be in charge permanently. And the longer they 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.679 drag it along, the more uncertain it is of what's 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:40.360 really going on. 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.080 And at what point does the investigation stop being to 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.880 search for answers and clause and start being a way 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.320 to keep Fiji and Limbo indefinitely. I mean, if it 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:51.840 were clear cut, and typically when you get fired four clause, 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.040 there's something that triggers that in your contract. 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.640 It's obvious, and yet it's taking. 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.600 October November December jan If everyone we've got five months 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:05.400 of investigation and they still can't find out why, what 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:06.640 the hell's taken us along? 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.920 Yeah, that's that's a million dollar question. You think that 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.639 if you had just caused to fire somebody, it would 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.280 be so blatantly obvious to everybody to see that this 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.399 is why this is happening, and it's just not there. 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.120 They can't find anything. That's that's the whole problem with this. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.720 It's nothing but a big scam to get rid of her, 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.720 and now they don't know what to do. 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.639 Does this undermine Adam Henny at this point? Because from 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.200 those I talked to outside of you, he seems like 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.360 a good guy and he's certainly qualified to be chief 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:39.280 of the City of Cincinnati. But this whole thing is 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.480 you mentioned he alluded to Ken. It doesn't make his 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.519 job easier. There's only so much he can do because 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:45.280 he's in orim. He doesn't have the full title. Yet 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.160 it undermines his authority and his ability to function, and 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.600 therefore it undermines the mission of cpd. 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.959 Oh without a doubt, you know, because like I said, 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.480 with him being just an interim, you're right, there's there's 0:02:56.560 --> 0:03:01.080 permanent decisions that typically aren't made. You have an interim chief. 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:02.840 You know, it's not fair to him what's going on. 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.960 It's not fair to Chief FIGI to be sitting at 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.239 home going, well, what are they going to do to 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.120 day the day that they're going to fire me? You know, 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:10.760 what is today to day that there's gonna be some 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.280 kind of conclusion. And clearly that's not gonna be the 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.320 case because they've extended this yet another month. 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.520 Well, I know, Terry, you haven't spoken since she was fired, 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.959 and she's you know, obviously because that's the advice and counsel. 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:21.720 I get that whole thing, but I don't know for 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:23.640 me or anyone listening, like, Okay, I get two hundred 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.760 and three thousand dollars in full benefits and I don't 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.600 have to do anything. But at the end of the day, 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:28.880 you want some closure. 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.320 Well, sure, you know, and she's she's already done, you know, 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:38.080 her full career. You came back after she retired, so 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.240 it's not like this is about money for her. It's 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.520 not like it's about you know, I'm you know, I've 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.320 got to got to be able to feed my family. 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.720 You know, this is something that she came back because 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:50.000 she felt driven to lead this department, and now it's 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.280 just everything's up in limbo and it's just not fair. 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.160 It's not how you treat somebody that's spent as many 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.320 years that she has, much less anybody you know that's 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.000 employed someplace. But unfortunately that's where we're at. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.000 All right, Well, they put her on leave before they 0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:04.560 even hired a law firm and investigator. From your perspective, 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.680 what does that say about whether this is really ever 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:07.960 about due process? 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.360 Well, we know that it's not. You know, they for 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.400 whatever reason, they decided they were going to get rid 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:18.080 of her, just like they did Michael Washington, and now 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.160 they're in in a spot where it's going to end 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.919 up costing them. And that's just we knew all along 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.480 that this wasn't about her effectiveness. This was they wanted 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.800 to go in a different direction, and instead of doing 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.520 things the right way, you know, they fumbled, unfortunately, like 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.280 they did many times before. 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.840 The tipping point was and this happened right after the 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.279 Fountain Square shooting and the individual who shot they fired 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.520 those weapons at City Bird, turns out he's free now 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.520 because it was ruled self defense because the two individuals 0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.360 inside both under age and both in under disability, and 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.680 they shouldn't have a gun fired at him from inside 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.440 city bird, Chicken, how's that on the chief? 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.440 Exactly? It's not. You know, we still see that there's 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.200 there's still violence going on in this city. You know, 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.599 there's only so much that the chief can do, There's 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.880 only so much that every uniform police officer can do. 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:09.640 But to try to put crime stolely at the feet 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:10.720 of her is just not fair. 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:15.400 We know, Ken Cober that share Long city manager sent 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.720 Chief dg an email in August that essentially ordered her 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.080 to clear all communications through the mayor's officeer go back 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.359 that far that started in August? Does the flip? Do 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:27.000 you guys believe this investigation can truly be independent given 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:27.600 that context? 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:32.920 Now it's not. I mean, it's what investigation. I mean. 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.200 You can go and look at her personnel file and 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.280 there's absolutely no discipline. And you would think if if 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.920 she was doing things that were so egregious that they 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.360 needed to terminate her, you would think that there would 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.760 be at least some kind of paper trail other than 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.040 you know, one communication saying hey, everything needs to get 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.440 through me. That doesn't make any sense. 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:55.000 This is an indictment of Adam Henny, the now interim chief. 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.160 But he was a command officer who signed a citation 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.440 that downtown brawl case at the mayor's request. I mean, 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:03.640 let's they say that didn't happen, but let's just call 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.679 it what it was. You need to charge a white 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:10.400 guy in this thing because of propriety, even though Chief 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.400 now Chief Henny wasn't on the scene and he took 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.840 he found the sword for his officers, which I think 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.279 endears him to beat cops for sure, saying hey, listen, 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.000 he's the guy who did this knowing he shouldn't have 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:20.360 done it. 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:21.279 But what does that tell you? 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:23.440 Though not about Adam Henny, but what does that tell 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.840 you about who the administration trusts and why? 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:31.240 Yeah, I know, you know, Adam was certainly put in 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.360 a bad position that he had to make a decision. 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:36.720 He stuck up first trips, which I certainly appreciate, but 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.279 he certainly does call into some questions of how the 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.479 timing and things happen afterwards. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.960 Yeah, the comments that came out here when they appointed Frost, 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:47.560 Brown and Todd to extend this now for the third 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.120 time in order to find out why they fired Chief 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.640 Thiji back in October, they fired her or suspend her, 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.279 I should say, fired her, and now they're looking for 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.400 reasons why, and it's taking five months to do this. 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.720 The quote was I read with the broader goals and 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.240 objectives of the city administration, whether she further those that 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.120 brought her goals? Is that just them? It sounded to 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.679 me like when I read that quote, they're essentially asking 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.360 whether she was loyal enough to the may or, not 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.160 about law and order and the constitution and or swore 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.000 an oath, but loyalty to the administration. And that should ever, 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.080 should that ever be grounds for firing a police chief. 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.760 No, it shouldn't. And this is where Issue five comes 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.640 into play. Deal where the chief only has so much protection, 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:30.240 and that's the problem. It's become a politicized position where 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.760 if you don't get along with the people at city Hall, 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.120 even if you're doing the right thing, it's just something 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.120 they don't like, you know, Then you're going to end 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.560 up facing these consequences. And that's that's that's why we've 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:44.280 had so many different chiefs over the last ten twelve years. 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:44.400 Now. 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.200 Issue five was sold to the voters like an accountability measure, 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:48.840 but take us through that. For those who may not 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:50.640 recall what Issue fives is, how it plays in here, 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:51.240 describe that. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:56.920 You know, prior to it was like twenty ten. You know, 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.360 the police chief and the fire chief as well, they 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.840 were hired and then they were they stayed in the 0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.320 collective bargaining unit, so they were protected by our contract. 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.200 Issue five took that away to where they could hire 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.040 anybody from outside the department if they wish, and they 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:17.280 would have no collective bargaining protection, which is why it 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.640 then became such a politicized position, because you're going to 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:20.800 do what I want you to do, or I'm going 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.640 to fire you. And we've seen in every major city 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.240 around this country to deal deals with the same thing. 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:27.880 They have a new police chief every couple of years 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.160 because you know, the honeymoon will wear off and then 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:31.920 all of a sudden, the chief does something that's city 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.000 hall or city manager whoever doesn't like, and then they 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.160 get rid of them. And it's like that in every 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:37.080 city in this country. 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:40.760 Unfortunately, yeah, Ken Cober as president of the since the FOP, 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.240 Queen City Lodge and the City of Cincinnati is extending 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.080 their contract with Frost Brown Todd Here as their independent 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:50.839 council into looking why they fired Chief Terry Thigi in 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.600 October and their job is to find the reason why 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.839 they fired her in October. And here we are now 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:59.880 headed into March. So is this about politics? One hundred percent? 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.520 And it's costing the text. There's a hell of a 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.800 lot of money too, because you're still paying DIJI, and 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.640 you're paying Heny, and you're paying the law office the 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.320 law firm to investigate this. And if it was a 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.640 clear cut case of cause for getting fired for cause, 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.360 the reason why why has it taken five months? A 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:17.600 normal person would ask. So that's Issue five you proposed, 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.599 I believe it was you proposed to those basically the 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:21.640 many things you can said you could do right, repeal 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.400 Issue five, let the chief or Terry thiej or Adam 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.520 Hunty whoever work independently, or elect a new mayor. So 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.240 which is the most viable option, the easiest path here? 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.600 Well, I think the one, the path that is going 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.720 to be the most permanent is to do something with 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.800 Issue five. That way, regardless of who the mayor is, 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.440 regardless of who the police chief is, they're going to 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.400 have that protection. That's what ultimately needs to be done. 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.679 It's going to be a heavy lift. We'll see how 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.960 it works out, but that's ultimately what needs to be 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.679 done if the people in this city want to have 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.280 a police chief that can make decisions based off of 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:00.960 safety not politics. 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.760 Yeah. Yeah, an issue five. I mean it was sold 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.000 to us as an accountability measure, and I believe it 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.079 was your predecessor, way back in the day, FAP president 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.640 Keith Fangman, who said it would do just what it's 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.640 doing today. I mean that was back in two thousand, 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.720 I believe two thousand and two somewhere around there. So 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.720 twenty five years later, a quarter century later, he was 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:20.439 absolutely right. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.400 Yeah, without a doubt. I mean, we all all predicted 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:26.600 that this was going to happen, and well here we are. 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.319 Ken the department. I think we're still one hundred and 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.480 fifty officers short. Has that number changed it. I'll correct 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.280 me on that one if I'm wrong. But I mean, 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.720 you got a lame duck chief, You've got a chief 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.400 and interim, You've got morale issues, you got recruitment issues. 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.720 This can't be helping retain or attract officers. 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.760 No, it's not. Yeah, you still have officers that are 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:49.960 that are leaving every day. That just said I've had enough, 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:51.840 I've got my twenty five years and I'm gonna leave. 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.560 I'm not staying and do an extra You know, we 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.000 are still we just didn't just graduate a class of 0:10:57.080 --> 0:11:00.440 fifty four, so that's certainly has help. But in the interim, 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.520 like I said, every week, we have more people leaving, 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.880 so it certainly continues to be a challenge. We got 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:07.640 a class that's supposed to start the end of April, 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:13.320 but it's still we're going to be significantly impacted by 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.000 personnel shortage for years to come. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:20.440 Yeah, and Jaji's attorney said, I looked at her jacket. 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.080 She's thirty five years on the job and she hasn't 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:27.840 had a significant negative performance review in thirty five years. 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.400 And that just further under reminds us. Are they just 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.360 sitting back I know you probably haven't talked to her 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.440 counsel or her, but are they just sitting back on 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.160 and going, Hey, listen, we're just gonna wind up settling 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:37.280 and the city is going to have to pay a 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:37.960 hole of a lot of money. 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.679 That's what's going to happen, right, Yeah, I mean that's 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.839 that's ultimately what's going to happen because anybody's going to 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.320 look at this and see that this person's had a 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:49.920 stellar career. You know, you have no negative discipline nothing, 0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:53.679 you know, so anybody can look at you. Has be 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.880 an attorney to look at this and see that there's 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:57.680 something more going on here and it has nothing to 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:58.680 do with performance. Yeah. 0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:02.520 So if the investigation concludes they recommend termination, what options 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.360 does the FOP have to challenge that outcome? Presuming you 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:07.080 you're involved in this, there are you prepared to see that? 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.760 Well? Unfortunately, because of issue five, Chief Fiji's not in 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.000 our bargaining in it, so any action that she would 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:16.880 take she would be doing on her own behalf. 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.960 Yeah, which is why she's hired outside council. Right if 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:21.600 people go well the FOPL bit they or no, they 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.040 can't because of again because of issue five. 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:25.680 Hopefully we can get that repealed. 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:29.920 Is there is there a momentum within council to do 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.160 that or I can imagine that sare along and up 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.160 want to do that, But what about counsol. 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.000 I don't know. I mean I've talked to some council 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:42.800 members that seem to certainly willing to entertain it. So 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:44.719 we'll see here in the coming months of whether this 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:45.880 gets any traction or not. 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.720 Have you spoken to FOP council and just you know, 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:50.959 maybe what's twisted in the wind out there, and how 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:53.000 much is this going to cost us? Do we have 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.120 any idea of the scope of the millions of dollars 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.240 to pay Thigi off to design a non disclosure agreement 0:12:58.280 --> 0:12:58.720 and go away. 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:03.120 Yeah, it could be a very very significant amount of money, 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.240 you know, And that's that's on the city. They're some 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.360 things that created this mess, you know. I just hope 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.880 whatever whatever agreement, if they do come to one that 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:14.520 both sides can live with and we can move on, 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:16.880 because that's ultimately what this police department needs. 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:17.319 I know. 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.959 Well, it depends what crime numbers you look at right now. 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.280 We've had a very very cold winter for sure. It 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.560 tends to scare away the street riff raff if you will. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.480 But we had high profile shooting on New Year's Day 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:29.079 of that young girl. We've had a streak of homicides 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.720 and the light too. I didn't look today where we're pacing. 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:36.520 But again, if we start to see another uptick this 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.679 summer this spring, as the weather warms up and people 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:40.880 go outside and hang out, and you know we're gonna 0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.960 have what a couple of weeks away from the time change, 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:47.679 we always see a rut rising crime alongside that too. 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.640 If the numbers are where they were this time last 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.120 year or even higher, what does that say about this 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.120 decision to get rid of Thiji. I mean, it's not 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.080 an indictment of Adam Heney at all. But are we 0:13:58.160 --> 0:13:59.760 in a better place with Adam Heny than we were 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:00.640 too resig. 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.720 And that's the question. You know, I don't know what 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.160 the crime stats are going to show up to see 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.000 what kind of impact changes that he has made have 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:14.160 on crime. We'll see hopefully they're positive ones. But I mean, ultimately, 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.280 you can't you can't blame Chief Fiji, and you certainly 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:19.960 can't blame Chief Henny, Yeah, for the problems with crime. 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:21.960 What you can do is blame the people in society 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.800 that don't know how to behave that that don't value life, 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:27.280 that decide where we're just going to pick up a 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.680 gun and shoot somebody because you said something mean to me. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.320 Until any of that changes for the better, we're going 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.880 to likely see some of the exact same things regardless 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.320 of whosi in charge of the Police Department. 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:40.920 It's kind of like the Bengals, isn't it canon that 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:43.120 it doesn't matter with the head coaches. You can pick 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.240 back George Alis or the second coming of Jag or 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.800 Hoover in your case. And if your hands are tied 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.760 by the administration and it's all political, you really don't 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:52.560 have any chance. 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.400 Here, No, without a doubt. And if you remember the 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.320 I think the last press conference that Chief Fiji did, 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:02.200 some of her closing remarks, we're talking about how the 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.640 expectation is for Since Saint police officers to go out 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.960 and enforce low level crimes. That way we can make 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:10.520 this city a safer place. And then two days later 0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:15.200 she's on administrative leaf. So I know there's certainly a 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:19.200 good group of officers that certainly believe that this was 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.440 a direct result of coming out and saying we're going 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.240 to start enforcing low level walls that maybe we haven't 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:28.080 enforced in the past, and that was something that city 0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.320 hauled it in Lake because we're going to have officers 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.720 go out and be proactive and try to reduce crime. Well, 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:36.040 there's a consequench for that, and of course now she's 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:36.960 on administrative leaf. 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.600 Now finally, Ken Cober, I won't keep you longer. When 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.040 do you think this wraps up? I mean, how much 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.040 longer can they keep extending? It's a third time to 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.600 extended this deal with the law firm investigating why they 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:49.440 fired Fiji back in October? Is this going to go 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.320 six months in a year? Do they just simply want 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.520 to drag this out till we forget to help me 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:53.960 out here? 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.840 I'm telling you, I was surprised myself when I heard 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:02.080 yesterday that they extended this. You know, I guess from 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:06.120 her perspective, you're being paid, you know, to sit at home. 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:08.840 But I also understand it's like, look, she wants some 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.120 finality to this. I want to let's move on. Let's 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.880 see what's going to happen. I don't know, I don't 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:15.400 know how long they drag it out. But every month 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.200 that they drag it out, they're costing the taxpayers more 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:21.640 and more money, right, and it's just an irresponsible thing 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.560 to do. But at this point it's it's certainly not surprising. 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.680 Well, I don't know, Maybe reparations will fix this. 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.400 Yeah, you never know. Maybe maybe that's the chief of that. 0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:33.120 I'll get into that a little bit later on that 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:36.040 was a proposal from jam Deshellaman careed. I'll try to 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:37.240 get her out of the show next week if she 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.520 wants five million reparations for the way people have coined 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.440 her retreated in Cincinnati. Legitimate concern for sure, because it's true, 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.520 but there's reparations to fix things. You can make a 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:48.800 case it makes it worse, and we'll get that a 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.080 little bit later on in the show. Ken Cober, President 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.240 the FOP, thanks for jumping on this morning, brother, Be 0:16:53.320 --> 0:16:54.720 well and have a great weekend. 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:56.560 Thanks. I appreciate. 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:58.640 Yeah, there you go, Ken, And a lot of questions 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:00.560 if you're a city taxpayer, going, yeah, well, what about 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:04.399 five months to figure this out? Clearly they fired her, 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:06.639 got rid of her, put her and leave whatever it is, 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.080 and we'll try to find something. Yeah, you know what 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:12.840 she did in nineteen eighty three, she tore off a mattress. 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:14.760 Tags that don't remove this tag on her pedaly the 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.520 law that you're fired that thought. It's gonna come down 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:20.040 to Scott's Loan show, News on the way in just 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.679 minutes and Will Gantz, our guy from ABC. 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:26.240 We got theater, we've got a reboot. 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:27.920 We got movies out, I should say, and We also 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.879 have a reboot of Scrubs if you're into that show. 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.119 It's taken what sixteen years, I believe to bring this 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:35.399 thing back. We'll find out what took so long, or 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.920 find out why we're bringing it back. From Will, He's 0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:48.879 next after news on seven hundred w W Scott Slunsha. 0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:51.040 Noberman who has entertainment reporting of coursing through his veins. 0:17:51.560 --> 0:17:56.160 Which makes him a medical entity. He is ADCs Will 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:57.440 Gans from New York. 0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.480 Will Gans, good morning, how's life buddy? 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.760 Life is good.

I got to ask you 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:37.480 something I don't often watch. You know, the what's six o'clock? 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.639 News and National not anybody over the age of or 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:42.520 under the age of whatever it is. I'm not going 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.200 to judge. But they're like, Okay, here, there's a severe 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:48.399 winter store moving in and I'll bring in the meteorologist 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:51.000 who does the morning show at J Gordon Morning America 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.480 and I'll talk for four seconds and then okay, thanks 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:54.800 for that. 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.360 Like did they bring them all the way. 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:01.040 In to midtown Manhattan for like literally only thirty seconds? 0:19:01.119 --> 0:19:03.199 Do they really do? Do you do you guys just 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:04.600 live above the studios? 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.239 How does that work? Because I'd be pissed off I've 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.560 had to come to work for to do thirty seconds. 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:13.919 Well, it depends I guess on who it is and 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:15.680 what their work skits would be. Some of them would 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:18.320 be in the building already, certainly, Yeah, like it's just 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:21.199 part of their you know, their their daily shift. And 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:23.919 then sometimes you'll see someone who's like in the field, 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.600 maybe they're by the George Washington Bridge, and for them, 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.719 for them being by the George Washington Bridge, it's like 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.040 a twenty minute commute as opposed to coming all the 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.240 way into the city, which would be like an hour 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:41.000 and change. So they do try to accommodate two people's schedules, 0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.679 and or if it's outside of when they would normally 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.000 be working, then maybe they'll try and put the live 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.880 shot location somewhere that makes more sense to where they're 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:50.280 coming from. 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:51.800 Yeah, but here's you know, ginger Z. 0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.600 They'll they'll Okay, she does GMA and you've been into you, dude, Jim, 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.280 and then she's like later that night and if you 0:19:58.320 --> 0:20:00.440 turn on nightly then the news and she on and 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.600 it's like, oh, here's Gingersey. She came in to tell 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.119 you that there's a risk of a blizzard in Colorado. 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:07.960 And then thirty seconds she's gone, like what that seems 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:08.880 to be a huge painting. 0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:10.560 You better make a lot of money if you're doing 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:11.160 that gig, like. 0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:16.560 You I mean, yeah, yeah, I would say that. There 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:18.640 are certainly people who would say, yes, it is a. 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:20.919 Pain to do that, but it's the job. And I 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:22.040 do think, you know. 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.480 Yeah, I'm good. I don't know, I don't get it. 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.760 Yeah all right, I love making you uncomfortable at Will 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.960 Gantz are ABC News guy who's now a meteorologist as well, 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:36.000 backing up Gingersey. I never really watched. I was never 0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:38.080 into it. I think maybe because I was working at night. 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:39.760 I used to do nine to midnight here way back 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:41.280 in the day, and I think that's when that was on. 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.000 So I never saw the show, but I saw clips 0:20:44.000 --> 0:20:46.720 of it. It's hilarious, it's scrubs, and they're bringing it back. 0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:48.840 Has it been did I see sixteen years? 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.920 Yeah, the initial run of the show was from two 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:56.880 thousand to twenty ten, and now sixteen years later, they're 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.640 calling it a revival series. So it's not a reboot 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:03.119 because it's the same cast that wrapt Donald Faison and 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:08.720 Sarah Chalk and then some all returning, and so yeah, 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:12.480 the show is the same creative team, and it's the 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:15.920 same creative team that did Ted Lasso and Shrinking and 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:17.960 stuff like that. And so when you know that, it 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:19.800 sort of makes sense, right, because it's like it's laugh 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.119 out out funny, but it's also kind of touching and 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:25.320 heartwarming and stuff as well. And so the first two 0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:28.960 episodes of the revival series dropped on Wednesday. 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:31.920 They're streaming now on Hulu, and. 0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:34.640 Yeah, this season will have nine episodes, and I think 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.159 the hope is that, you know, if fans like it 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:40.399 as much as they liked the original series that it'll 0:21:40.400 --> 0:21:42.840 be picked up for season two and then some but 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:46.520 first two episodes really like you know, they're not trying 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:50.280 to reinvent the Wheel. It really is reminiscent of what 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:53.840 that original sitcom felt like in the early two thousands. 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:56.200 They do any callbacks because that would be difficult to 0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:57.440 do after sixteen years. 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:01.760 I mean there are like some characters that were not 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.880 announced as returning to the do pop up, so there 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:05.480 is a lot of. 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:06.840 Fan service in that way too. 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:10.359 It's it's yeah, I think they do do sneak some 0:22:10.440 --> 0:22:13.280 callbacks and character you know, cameos and stuff like that 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:14.720 that fans will love. 0:22:15.000 --> 0:22:17.000 It's weird, like that's gonna be the like the one 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:18.720 of the longest breaks ever for a show. 0:22:19.880 --> 0:22:21.120 I mean, sixteen. 0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:23.080 Crazy. 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:25.439 It's crazy. Yeah. 0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:28.399 And you know, Zach Braff, who is the star of 0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:31.479 the show, has gone on to direct, you know, different 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:35.320 television shows, and now he's returning as an executive producer. 0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:38.159 So you know, I actually was able to talk to 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:39.119 him and he said. 0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:42.080 Like, after doing all these different things, it's nice to 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:45.680 come back, you know, in a different capacity with Scrubs 0:22:45.680 --> 0:22:48.280 and bring everything that he's learned in that sixteen year 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:50.440 hiatus back to try and make the show even better 0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:52.040 than it was the first go around. 0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:52.399 All right. 0:22:52.440 --> 0:22:55.320 Also on Hulu is Paradise and this is I believe 0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:56.000 a season two. 0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:57.920 Yes, so Sterling K. 0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:00.560 Brown plays a secret service agent and it's set in 0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:06.800 a dystopian sort of futuristic America. And people who watch 0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:08.960 this show are obsessed with it. And if you haven't 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:11.320 watched it yet, you're only one season behind. It's not 0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:15.320 that hard to binge. And so the first three episodes 0:23:15.400 --> 0:23:20.080 of season two dropped this week, and they've added Shyleene 0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:22.960 Woodley to the cast, who you know, was in Big 0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:24.520 Little Eyes and The Fault. 0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:25.600 In Our Stars and stuff like that. 0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:29.919 So it's a thriller, it's a drama, and you know, 0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:32.199 it's one of those shows where like none of the 0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:35.000 main characters are safe, you know, even if they're you know. 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:37.639 So it's it's it's a fun watch, I think if 0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:41.880 you're looking for something like that. Yeah, it's it's sort 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:44.679 of like Lost is maybe what I would compare it to. 0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:47.440 But Lost isn't set in dystopian America. 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:50.160 Is it no Loss with present day? 0:23:50.160 --> 0:23:52.679 But it is like a little science fiction y like that, 0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.040 and and and and the way that like some of 0:23:55.040 --> 0:23:57.160 those main characters can be killed off at at a. 0:23:57.080 --> 0:24:02.359 Moment's nose makes sense. Finally will gance in theaters this weekend. 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:03.280 I think we're seeing. 0:24:04.680 --> 0:24:13.639 Scream seven, So Nev Campbell, we're seeing For fans of Scream, Scream. 0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:18.919 Seven is out and for for other people trying that 0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:20.879 movie Send Help that we talked about a couple of 0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:24.080 weeks ago, still in theaters. I loved that, And then 0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:27.000 next week we'll be talking about Hoppers, which is the 0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:30.600 new Pixar movie. But Scream seven, I think if you're 0:24:30.680 --> 0:24:34.440 fans of the show of the series, you know they 0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:37.760 also do a clever job of bringing back people who 0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:39.760 were killed off that you're like, there's no way they're back, 0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:44.440 but they some some characters from earlier screen movies are back. 0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:47.480 And not for nothing. Nev Campbell is amazing. She's she's 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:50.560 always really, really good and so to see her return 0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:52.000 to the franchise is pretty fun. 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:56.080 Top of your head, which movie franchises have the most sequels? 0:24:56.480 --> 0:25:00.800 I go, but you think James Bond, that's. 0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:01.840 An excellent guess. 0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:04.080 I mean Halloween with Jamie Lee Curtis. 0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:04.680 It feels like. 0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:10.080 They've done a gazillion movies. That's a really really great. 0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:13.960 Quest, great trivia question. I guess I'm trying to think which, Well, 0:25:14.000 --> 0:25:14.680 you gotta. 0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:15.800 Be Bond, right that guy? 0:25:15.840 --> 0:25:19.720 It was fake? Yeah, yeah, isn't There wasn't there like 0:25:19.760 --> 0:25:24.120 a Police Academy forty seven or a Saw one nine. 0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:28.760 When Paul Blart Mall Cop two came out that that's 0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:30.760 when I said we're doing too much with the sequels. 0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:32.120 And that was only number two. 0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:35.640 So but but yeah, I mean I. 0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:38.000 Think Bond has got to be It's up there the one. 0:25:38.400 --> 0:25:41.359 Yeah, some of those well, Star Wars is getting up 0:25:41.359 --> 0:25:46.280 there too, But like a Marvel or a it's kind 0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:48.439 of hard because they're different. They're actually I mean it's 0:25:48.440 --> 0:25:51.600 it's the brand. It's they're different superheroes. Like what about 0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:54.040 like Godzilla? 0:25:54.160 --> 0:25:57.719 I mean, but are those technically sequels or are they remakes? 0:25:57.960 --> 0:25:59.879 Then you get yeah, then you get into some of 0:25:59.880 --> 0:26:04.119 the boys that in the Wieds huh. 0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:04.359 It is we're in the weeds. 0:26:04.359 --> 0:26:07.120 But I just your James Bond guest have to I'll 0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:07.919 do a little researching. 0:26:08.160 --> 0:26:10.880 Yeah, all right, maybe that's a that'll be a callback 0:26:10.920 --> 0:26:11.440 for next week. 0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:12.000 How about that? 0:26:13.359 --> 0:26:13.800 I love it? 0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:17.760 Unless you're off doing meteorology or good Married in America too, 0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:18.840 or whatever it is you do. 0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:19.320 In your world. 0:26:19.400 --> 0:26:19.720 Gans. 0:26:19.760 --> 0:26:21.520 I don't know.

You know how that is you're married and 0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:27.960 you know scream save it. I just I think I 0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:30.080 saw the first scream. I'm not a big sequel guy, 0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:33.400 because usually my theory is I'm cheap, I spend money. 0:27:33.440 --> 0:27:35.720 I'm like, yeah, the first one's good in a way. 0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:38.080 The second one can live up to that. You know, 0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:41.240 there's rare exceptions there, you know, Godfather, but it's it's 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:44.080 not worth and eventually beyond it's like, okay, there's scream. 0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.720 I think another thing.

Is the question? 0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:31.239 A little bit later after ten oh six today, I 0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:35.440 want to get into the fact that Vice Mayor Jan 0:29:35.520 --> 0:29:41.400 michelleman Kearney is proposing reparations for folks in Cincinnati, and 0:29:41.480 --> 0:29:43.360 what is wrong with that? Man? You ask? Well, I mean, 0:29:43.400 --> 0:29:46.520 I guess if I were on the receiving end of reparations, 0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:48.160 and I probably could make a case as to why 0:29:48.200 --> 0:29:50.960 I deserve reparations. Quite honestly, the way I've been treated, 0:29:52.840 --> 0:29:56.240 I wouldn't argue. I go, hell, yeah, I deserve repara. Absolutely, 0:29:56.280 --> 0:29:59.160 I would deserve reparations, There's no question about it. But 0:29:59.240 --> 0:30:01.720 of course it's a real of should you pay for 0:30:01.760 --> 0:30:04.760 this if you're not of the receiving party. We'll get 0:30:04.800 --> 0:30:07.600 into that discussion. Kind of heavy for a Friday now, 0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:09.440 but that's at the ten of six today here on 0:30:09.520 --> 0:30:13.680 the Scottsoland Show on seven hundred w WELW saw the 0:30:13.720 --> 0:30:17.680 story today and it fortunately did it in tragedy. But 0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:20.520 it may be left with this kid steals. He's seventeen 0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:23.880 and he steals or non steal, seventeen years old and 0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:26.920 his car because it was registered to him stolen caaraster 0:30:26.920 --> 0:30:30.720 difference this already it's a several year old. Because I 0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:33.480 could see the end of it. A Kia Soul. Kia Soul. 0:30:35.320 --> 0:30:38.200 He apparently just got his life driving one hundred over 0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:41.280 one hundred and thirty miles an hour and runs into 0:30:41.360 --> 0:30:44.800 a house. Fortunately no one was home, or that there 0:30:44.840 --> 0:30:46.560 was no one that was injured anyway, he was fine. 0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:48.479 The whole thing walks away from it. But you know, 0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:50.360 it's not a case of a stolen car. It's young 0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:55.360 and stupid and testosterone and wheels, let alone alcohol and 0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:58.120 thron the gal calls involved. But it's a horrible combination 0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:01.640 because speaking from the guy personerspective, here, we're really stupid. 0:31:01.680 --> 0:31:05.400 We're stupid our whole lives, but we're particularly dumb up 0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:10.560 until our thirty some cases our sixties. And I think 0:31:10.560 --> 0:31:12.440 about this good and it happens more. You know, people 0:31:12.440 --> 0:31:15.000 will steal a car in all high reach of speed 0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:17.400 we see all the time in Cincinnati, and I'm not 0:31:17.400 --> 0:31:19.280 talking about people have the means to afford a really, 0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:19.880 really nice car. 0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:20.880 I think here's the problem. 0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:24.960 To play the back in the day game for a second. 0:31:25.240 --> 0:31:27.920 So I think when I was sixteen, seventeen, eighteen years old, 0:31:27.960 --> 0:31:29.400 and I think I got my first car when I 0:31:29.440 --> 0:31:36.600 was nineteen, and you could your car then couldn't go 0:31:37.080 --> 0:31:42.000 faster than fifty miles an hour. I mean, let alone, 0:31:42.280 --> 0:31:44.800 you know seventy you get to Okay, you're pushing it 0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:47.160 like fifty the wheels of be out of line and 0:31:47.200 --> 0:31:48.960 think it vibrate. You know, I'm talking about you, that 0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:52.480 hooptee ground And if you got the sixty six sixty 0:31:52.520 --> 0:31:54.360 mile fifty five. That's why the speed on was fifty five. 0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:57.040 Like literally, if you went seventy, the card fall apart. 0:31:57.080 --> 0:31:58.800 Most cars in the road were just that'd be it. 0:32:00.320 --> 0:32:02.040 And that's the car you had when you're young, and 0:32:02.080 --> 0:32:06.040 everyone has a car if you're of a particular age, 0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:08.240 that sucked back then. And this is not an indictment. 0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:10.520 Today's kids got it so they're so soft and easy. 0:32:10.560 --> 0:32:12.760 That's not what I'm saying. It's like technology did this. 0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:15.880 Like today you have a car. You don't have to 0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:18.280 get a tune up to one hundred thousand miles. Your 0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:20.280 car back in the day wouldn't make it to fifty 0:32:20.320 --> 0:32:26.040 thousand miles. My first car I had it literally if 0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:27.640 you lifted the hood up, if you could get the 0:32:27.640 --> 0:32:31.200 hood open, it was so rusted around where the engine 0:32:31.240 --> 0:32:34.200 was it looked like magic was holding the engine in place. 0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:36.800 You'd look down and you could see the tops of 0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:38.640 the tires. That's how rusted out it was. And that 0:32:38.720 --> 0:32:44.200 was my first car. And my buddy had a car 0:32:44.320 --> 0:32:47.840 that had a leak of the gas tank and could 0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:50.600 only put a quarter tank of gas and every time. 0:32:50.800 --> 0:32:52.600 So there are times where we drive and this is 0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:54.840 in we're let's go to Bowling Green and we'd have 0:32:54.840 --> 0:32:56.360 to drive to like Detroit. I remember we had to 0:32:56.360 --> 0:32:58.320 go do something and he had to stop. From some 0:32:58.360 --> 0:33:00.600 Bowlinger to Detroit's like an hour drive. We had to 0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:04.280 stop three times for gas on the way. Anytime you 0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:07.120 do a road trips like it's gonna take forever. During 0:33:07.160 --> 0:33:08.800 the Columbus one time, I think we had stopped for 0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:11.480 gas seven times because you only put a quarter tank 0:33:11.560 --> 0:33:13.120 it otherwise it'd spill all out. 0:33:13.160 --> 0:33:14.800 You lose your money to be gas all over the place. 0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:15.080 No go. 0:33:17.320 --> 0:33:18.719 But that's how it was back in the day. It's 0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:21.320 like one hundred thirty miles an hour. 0:33:21.560 --> 0:33:24.280 There's no damn way. No one goes driving one hundred 0:33:24.280 --> 0:33:26.960 and thirty miles an hour back then unless you had okay, 0:33:27.040 --> 0:33:28.920 maybe you were a little older and you had money, 0:33:29.560 --> 0:33:31.040 and you had a nice car, which would have been a. 0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:35.320 Muscle car, you could do that. But even one thirty 0:33:35.960 --> 0:33:38.520 with a rear wheeled wheel drive yeah, if you had 0:33:38.520 --> 0:33:40.760 it really tricked out, if you had you know, the engine. 0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:44.080 But there were very few people that did that. Like 0:33:44.120 --> 0:33:46.200 fifty five was a pig. If you go seventy miles 0:33:46.200 --> 0:33:50.080 an hour, you were that's insane. That's like space shuttle speeds. 0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:52.760 But back then you're you're lucky. 0:33:53.480 --> 0:33:55.880 Now it's says, well, I got I got air conditioning, 0:33:55.960 --> 0:34:00.000 got the heat and cool seats. I've got South rounds 0:34:00.320 --> 0:34:03.960 in this thing. It's gorgeous. Back then you're lucky if 0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:07.800 the heater worked, let alone. No one had air conditioning. 0:34:08.239 --> 0:34:10.080 And I'm not being bitter old man with the cloud, 0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:12.480 just saying it's like, people, come up. Cars are so 0:34:12.560 --> 0:34:15.160 much better today. It's like awesome. If you complain about 0:34:15.160 --> 0:34:18.360 it today, you're out of your mind. Cars are amazing. 0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:23.319 They will last one hundred thousand miles, even the cheapest cars. 0:34:23.560 --> 0:34:25.400 The other day we're talking about the average resid new 0:34:25.480 --> 0:34:29.319 car over fifty thousand dollars, and wow, that's incredible. But 0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:31.880 the cars last longer than they did back in the day. Literally, 0:34:31.920 --> 0:34:33.719 they you get I don't know how many years have 0:34:33.880 --> 0:34:36.239 I never had a new car. I wouldn't know, but 0:34:36.600 --> 0:34:38.239 like my old man would buy a car and think, 0:34:38.400 --> 0:34:40.080 I don't know if you got ten years out of it, 0:34:40.120 --> 0:34:43.200 If that literally fifty thousand miles, I know we're not 0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:45.040 driving as much as we used to, but that's also 0:34:45.120 --> 0:34:47.399 because it was a big deal to drive back then. 0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:50.040 Because while the car would literally fall apart in you 0:34:50.360 --> 0:34:53.120 get up to fifty and the whole thing would start vibrating. 0:34:53.320 --> 0:34:56.560 Screws would be popping out, like the scene from Apollo 0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:59.440 thirteen where they're sweat running down the control panel. 0:35:00.000 --> 0:35:03.719 What's going on over here? But at different times back 0:35:03.760 --> 0:35:05.800 in the day, that's not today, You're like one hundred 0:35:05.800 --> 0:35:08.040 and thirty miles. It's like it's a Kia Soul, for 0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:11.040 God's sake, like the equivalent of a Kia Soul back 0:35:11.080 --> 0:35:13.560 in the eighties. I don't know what they would be, 0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:16.960 but you probably couldn't go more than fifteen miles an hour. 0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:20.840 I would do a news update and we want to 0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:22.640 return to the show. Maybe a little bit more serious 0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:27.120 this morning, but then again maybe not. The city is 0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:30.600 at least vice maryor Jan Micheldeman. Kearney is proposing reparations 0:35:30.640 --> 0:35:34.960 for Cincinnatians in particular neighborhoods. She says this is not 0:35:35.040 --> 0:35:37.480 a race based issue at all. It's an issue of fairness, 0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:39.080 but if you look at the neighborhoods and the people 0:35:39.120 --> 0:35:41.439 who get the money, it most certainly is a race based. 0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:43.400 The problem is this, and it's one of those things 0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:46.040 where I think politicians do this on both sides, where 0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:48.320 they will craft and create a problem there's no solution 0:35:48.400 --> 0:35:51.920 to but by pretending to dwant to do something, it 0:35:51.960 --> 0:35:54.000 looks like you actually can do something. There's a huge 0:35:54.000 --> 0:35:57.080 difference here and what does it do. It just causes 0:35:57.160 --> 0:36:02.400 to be more coarse and more divisive and beat device. 0:36:02.400 --> 0:36:03.799 You know, It's just it's not I don't think it's 0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:05.719 good because they're I think they're deliberately doing this knowing 0:36:05.719 --> 0:36:07.680 there's no way it's going to happen, and they'll do 0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:10.399 that to ingratiate themselves, to make it look like they're 0:36:10.400 --> 0:36:11.880 fighting if you won. In fact, they know it's just 0:36:11.880 --> 0:36:14.600 simply not going to happen. But that's that doesn't that 0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:17.880 cause the divide to be worse. We'll get into that 0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:20.160 right after news on the Home of the Reds seven 0:36:20.200 --> 0:36:21.560 hundred ww Cincinnati. 0:36:21.640 --> 0:36:23.200 Do you want to American? 0:36:24.520 --> 0:36:25.000 All right? 0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:28.879 So this is about fairness. Are you for fairness? I'm 0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:31.920 for fairness. Tell me how this is fair. So the 0:36:32.080 --> 0:36:35.759 Cincinnati Real Property Reparations Program, I said, reparations, which is 0:36:35.760 --> 0:36:39.360 a polarizing word. We've had polarizing words throughout history of 0:36:39.400 --> 0:36:41.480 things that are sex sister, Like, we used to call 0:36:41.560 --> 0:36:44.440 flight attends and stewardesses and now we call them flight attendants. 0:36:45.160 --> 0:36:48.120 We used to call people with developmental disabilities. Well, the 0:36:48.360 --> 0:36:51.239 R word right anyway, Okay, I think they're going to 0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:54.880 have to because this word is so polarizing and so demeaning. 0:36:55.120 --> 0:36:56.839 I think maybe you got to come up with something else, 0:36:57.480 --> 0:36:59.560 just a suggestion for it. But it's the Cincinnati Real 0:36:59.560 --> 0:37:03.320 Property Operations Program. It's going to go to council on Tuesday, 0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:07.279 five million dollars, no eligibility criteria, funded by marijuana techs. 0:37:08.280 --> 0:37:10.600 San Francisco's trying to do the same thing or had anyway, 0:37:10.640 --> 0:37:13.160 and they can't pay for it. So is it real 0:37:13.320 --> 0:37:14.839 just a gesture to make up look like they can 0:37:14.840 --> 0:37:18.080 solve the issue. Probably that. So here's the story real quick. 0:37:18.120 --> 0:37:19.480 We'll give it all the facts of this thing. It's 0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:22.480 presented by Cincinnati Vice Mayor jan Michelle Leman Kearney and 0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:26.080 Scottie Johnson and it's up for as I said next week, 0:37:26.280 --> 0:37:30.000 it provide financial assistance for down payments, to linquid property 0:37:30.040 --> 0:37:33.759 taxes and emergency repairs. In the Rising fifteen, they called 0:37:33.760 --> 0:37:37.279 the Rising fifteen poorest neighborhoods in Cincinnati. So is your 0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:42.120 neighborhood eligible? That is the question. Well, I got the 0:37:42.160 --> 0:37:46.680 full list here in fifteen neighborhoods Village, Arrolls, Hills, Millvale, 0:37:46.719 --> 0:37:49.680 English Woods, Lower Price Hill, Queen's Gate as part of 0:37:49.719 --> 0:37:52.120 as well, although I say Queen's Gate's going through some 0:37:52.160 --> 0:37:56.000 significant redevelopment here with the with the Brent Spence Bridge project, 0:37:56.080 --> 0:37:59.760 also wenton Hill, South Fairmont, West and East Westwood, Avondel, Roselawn, Monorary, 0:37:59.760 --> 0:38:02.680 East Price, Sell, South Cumminsville, and North Faremont. Those are 0:38:02.719 --> 0:38:07.400 your Rising fifteen poorest neighborhoods. So if you're a low 0:38:07.440 --> 0:38:11.720 to moderate income resident, or any individual and any individual 0:38:11.800 --> 0:38:14.480 or family member of an individual who was prevented from 0:38:14.480 --> 0:38:17.719 buying a home due to discriminatory practices, you will be 0:38:17.800 --> 0:38:21.440 eligible for this. She insists this is not race based, 0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:25.080 but the fifteen target neighborhoods are all in predominantly black, 0:38:25.080 --> 0:38:26.840 of joining our minority neighborhoods. 0:38:26.880 --> 0:38:28.120 It's not race based at all. 0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:31.840 I don't know if you feel I guess if you're white, 0:38:31.960 --> 0:38:38.200 or if you're Asian, uh, Indian, and you felt you 0:38:38.239 --> 0:38:41.160 were discriminated against, I'd have my hand out. 0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:45.360 Let's start here. It's called the Real Property Reparations Program. 0:38:45.440 --> 0:38:48.120 That's a mouthful because the word reparations is doing a 0:38:48.200 --> 0:38:51.880 very specific job. It's making a moral claim. That's the 0:38:51.920 --> 0:38:55.680 problem that you I'm talking to you right now, unless 0:38:55.719 --> 0:38:59.319 you're an individual eligible for the money, you as a 0:38:59.320 --> 0:39:04.560 Cincinnati tien, oh somebody. Something that's very different than saying 0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:06.759 we want to help low income people buy homes. And 0:39:07.120 --> 0:39:10.480 that's a good program. That's a program we could well, 0:39:10.520 --> 0:39:12.400 we could debate it's merits and who's eligible who's not. 0:39:12.480 --> 0:39:14.520 But you're lifting people up. Sure, But the moment you 0:39:14.560 --> 0:39:17.840 frame it as reparations, you already decided. You've declared, you 0:39:18.000 --> 0:39:23.280 pronounced someone guilty in someone deserving. That's the problem. Before, 0:39:23.400 --> 0:39:26.040 by the way, a single fact has been established, before, 0:39:26.040 --> 0:39:29.080 in a single individual's circumstance has been verified. 0:39:29.280 --> 0:39:31.480 How are you going to do this? How is it possible? 0:39:33.920 --> 0:39:37.440 Uh? And it's not race based. The framing says one thing. 0:39:37.480 --> 0:39:42.040 The geography says something else. And I'll give you my 0:39:42.120 --> 0:39:45.560 personal example. We all have individual examples of this. My 0:39:45.680 --> 0:39:51.279 great grandparents came here from Europe in nineteen twelve. They 0:39:51.280 --> 0:39:55.560 didn't own slaves, they didn't benefit from redlining, they had nothing. 0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:57.000 As a matter of fact, I make a case that 0:39:57.680 --> 0:39:59.759 my families deserve reparations. It wouldn't be here to be 0:39:59.760 --> 0:40:02.319 a to New York, but by some of the things 0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:03.680 that happened to the family. I don't want to get 0:40:03.680 --> 0:40:05.719 out in the weeds on that. But they built what 0:40:05.760 --> 0:40:08.120 they had from scratch, no inheritance, no general as well. Yeah, 0:40:08.120 --> 0:40:11.760 but it's different because the black experience. You know, Italians, Irish, 0:40:11.800 --> 0:40:14.640 Polish were all treated horribly in this country. I'm not 0:40:14.640 --> 0:40:18.400 trying to equate the Black experience with the European groups 0:40:18.400 --> 0:40:20.200 that came here. But the idea that somehow Europeans just 0:40:20.200 --> 0:40:23.040 came out at ease, it's a ballface lie. There was 0:40:23.320 --> 0:40:26.440 incredible discrimination against folks, which is why they lived in 0:40:27.120 --> 0:40:30.080 Italian neighborhoods. Polish. Now you had German villages here in Cincinnati, 0:40:30.120 --> 0:40:33.000 because you know, together you made a group which basically 0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:36.600 was a union, right, an ethnic union. The core problem 0:40:36.600 --> 0:40:39.520 with reparations at any level is that the people paying 0:40:39.560 --> 0:40:42.399 and the people collecting were not parties to the original wrong. 0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:45.680 That's the problem. You know, in civil court, the entire 0:40:45.719 --> 0:40:49.040 system exists to make injured parties hold the defendant has 0:40:49.080 --> 0:40:52.560 to be the one responsible for the harm. If that's 0:40:52.600 --> 0:40:56.120 not proven. If you can't prove that, then you don't win. 0:40:58.200 --> 0:41:02.279 Who's the defendant here? Since NY taxpayers, most of the people, 0:41:02.280 --> 0:41:04.400 I would safe to say all of the people listening 0:41:04.440 --> 0:41:07.799 to me right now have no connection whatsoever to what 0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:10.200 happened in the nineteen twenties with the Real Estate Board 0:41:10.200 --> 0:41:12.880 of Policies, so that maybe maybe a few in the 0:41:12.960 --> 0:41:15.879 nineteen fifties with federal redlining. You're probably a small child. 0:41:15.880 --> 0:41:18.600 Then you're no hand in that. And the question nobody 0:41:18.640 --> 0:41:22.600 wants to answer, how in the hell do you verify eligibility? 0:41:23.840 --> 0:41:28.480 How do you do that? No, look at that, there's no qualification. 0:41:28.600 --> 0:41:31.320 You've got to lay out the qualifications for this. Who qualifies? 0:41:31.440 --> 0:41:35.160 How do you prove? Cincinnati, the counsul is being asked 0:41:35.160 --> 0:41:38.440 to approve a five million dollar program without knowing who 0:41:38.520 --> 0:41:40.080 gets the money or how you prove a deserve it. 0:41:40.120 --> 0:41:42.960 And you know what if you vote against this, that 0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:45.560 makes you look like a racist, like you don't care 0:41:48.280 --> 0:41:51.320 more the same, which gives more. So don't tell me 0:41:51.320 --> 0:41:56.640 who's bringing people together. It's dividing people even more. Well, 0:41:56.640 --> 0:41:58.359 what do you mean, I gotta prove, I gotta deserve it. 0:41:59.040 --> 0:42:02.400 I live in this Neighborhoo, I'm black, I get them 0:42:02.480 --> 0:42:04.600 up right. No, that's not at all. You have to prove, 0:42:05.080 --> 0:42:08.120 you have to show and verify all this stuff. I 0:42:08.160 --> 0:42:09.880 don't know if anybody is interested or has time to 0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:14.680 do that. And don't this get distracted by the five 0:42:14.760 --> 0:42:17.239 million that's the opening bit. I mean, look, it's been 0:42:17.280 --> 0:42:20.520 tried elsewhere. Remember California did I should have checked out, 0:42:20.520 --> 0:42:22.120 and so the last time I checked on this, though, 0:42:22.840 --> 0:42:25.640 I want to say that San Francisco was like a 0:42:25.719 --> 0:42:28.320 quarter million dollars, more than a quarter million dollars a person, 0:42:29.000 --> 0:42:31.200 and you do the math, it's like almost it's almost 0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:34.839 a trillion dollars. That's two and a half times more 0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:38.839 than California's entire annual budget. Or Frisco. We're gonna give 0:42:38.920 --> 0:42:43.600 five million dollars per person, and they were California wasn't even. 0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:46.080 A slave stand. That's insane. 0:42:48.040 --> 0:42:52.520 Evanston, Illinois, to the first American city to actually fund reparations, 0:42:52.760 --> 0:42:55.520 ran a twenty million dollar program, handed out twenty five 0:42:55.560 --> 0:42:58.240 thousand dollars payments, and it's not making the payments because 0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:02.160 the marijuana attacks didn't raise enough money. So that sounds familiar. 0:43:02.719 --> 0:43:06.319 It's exactly where Cincinnati is right now. And then once 0:43:06.360 --> 0:43:09.320 the doors open, the number becomes infinite because no amount 0:43:09.360 --> 0:43:13.880 of money undoes the terrible wrongdoing, the terrible history of 0:43:14.480 --> 0:43:18.680 where we came from, the moral logic of we owe 0:43:18.719 --> 0:43:22.480 you has no floor and no ceiling. It's pretty much 0:43:22.560 --> 0:43:28.920 open to anyone without proof. And you know I mentioned 0:43:28.960 --> 0:43:31.040 San Francisco being the caution a tail. Here they are 0:43:31.040 --> 0:43:34.480 committees and task force and advisory boards and recommendations and 0:43:34.520 --> 0:43:38.359 I think it was last in December they voted to 0:43:38.680 --> 0:43:41.239 establish our reparations from the mayor sign they announced to say, well, 0:43:41.280 --> 0:43:42.560 you know what, we have no money to fund this 0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:45.759 because they're running already a billion dollar deficit for doing 0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:49.120 dumb stuff like this, And well what about private donations? 0:43:49.280 --> 0:43:53.200 Wait a minute, private duff from who is good? I 0:43:53.200 --> 0:43:55.680 mean maybe if you have enough money or gail you're like, okay, 0:43:55.680 --> 0:43:58.200 I'll be proud of the solution, but it's never gonna 0:43:58.200 --> 0:44:01.759 be enough. It's the problem. It is horrible, horrible thing 0:44:02.320 --> 0:44:04.560 that we didn't. No one can well, I'm sure some people, 0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:06.719 I'm sure the clansmen that showed up and you know 0:44:08.400 --> 0:44:11.920 out in uh Lincoln Heights, would would argue this, but 0:44:13.760 --> 0:44:16.160 no one goes, wow, it's it was what a great 0:44:16.160 --> 0:44:19.480 time in American So it's terrible, but we did something 0:44:19.640 --> 0:44:23.399 starting with Lincoln, and of course, and we also had 0:44:23.400 --> 0:44:25.760 the Klan in the twenties and thirties a well after Lincoln, 0:44:25.760 --> 0:44:27.480 and we've had a history of race problems in this 0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:30.240 country for a long long time, a long long time. 0:44:31.840 --> 0:44:34.920 Nineteen fifties, we had landmark civil rights lation in the 0:44:34.960 --> 0:44:38.719 nineteen sixties, again in the eighties, and yeah, I mean, 0:44:38.800 --> 0:44:41.000 you know, we're far from perfect, make no doubt about it. 0:44:41.040 --> 0:44:43.040 But there's no one with a straight face you can go, well, 0:44:43.280 --> 0:44:45.759 logo's going to nineteenth logo is going in in the 0:44:46.200 --> 0:44:48.799 you know, in the nineteenth century or the turn of 0:44:48.800 --> 0:44:52.800 the century, or the twenties or the fifties or the sixties, 0:44:53.360 --> 0:44:54.920 and like that was good. Now we look at that 0:44:54.960 --> 0:44:58.640 and go, wow, that's awful. It's awful, and anyone who's 0:44:58.640 --> 0:45:04.120 seen any of the film from the nineteen sixties of 0:45:04.160 --> 0:45:09.319 those people who were trying to keep segregation alive. It's 0:45:09.360 --> 0:45:13.279 not just cringey. It's reprehensible, right, it's sickening. But you 0:45:13.280 --> 0:45:14.880 look at it and go, wow, we've really moved on 0:45:14.960 --> 0:45:15.279 from this. 0:45:15.640 --> 0:45:15.839 Now. 0:45:15.880 --> 0:45:17.920 The people who tell you that represent good idea will 0:45:17.920 --> 0:45:20.640 tell you that, no, that's not true at all, as 0:45:20.680 --> 0:45:25.239 you don't understand it's still bad. Okay, I mean you 0:45:25.280 --> 0:45:27.400 do have to have a hand in this, and I 0:45:27.480 --> 0:45:30.880 understand that. I mean example, Cincinnati, look at Ezra Charles Boulevard. 0:45:30.880 --> 0:45:33.640 Look at what we're doing now with the Brent Spence 0:45:33.680 --> 0:45:36.480 Bridge project. You know, you look at it from an 0:45:36.560 --> 0:45:38.239 arrow of view and go, okay, there's seventy Yeah, but 0:45:38.280 --> 0:45:40.800 it cut through a black neighborhood. Like back in the 0:45:40.880 --> 0:45:43.680 day they said, hey, it's just black. It's fine, we'll 0:45:43.680 --> 0:45:46.480 put a highway here. It's good and destroy the fabric, 0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:48.920 destroyed the neighborhood. Sure that's something. There are there people 0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:51.560 still around the experience that. Yeah, yeah, they're very old. 0:45:51.560 --> 0:45:53.920 But okay, but then who's going to pay that? Should 0:45:53.920 --> 0:45:55.640 it be up to people who had no hand in that, 0:45:55.800 --> 0:45:58.800 who probably are listening and agreeing with me that we 0:45:58.840 --> 0:46:01.840 should have be responsible to do that in Okay, in America, 0:46:02.280 --> 0:46:06.839 in court, civil court particularly, money is a remedy. That's 0:46:06.840 --> 0:46:09.839 how you fix something. You can't undo something you did, 0:46:09.840 --> 0:46:11.080 but you can pay a hell of a lot of 0:46:11.080 --> 0:46:14.160 money to do it. You know, a liability of lawsuit, defamation. 0:46:15.320 --> 0:46:17.880 Uh you know you put you made a bad product 0:46:17.960 --> 0:46:20.799 that killed people. Yeah, you can't bring those people back 0:46:20.800 --> 0:46:22.440 to life, but you can pay a hell of a 0:46:22.480 --> 0:46:27.200 lot of money. Okay, I get that, But who pays 0:46:27.239 --> 0:46:30.520 the money? The party responsible for that atrocity. They don't 0:46:30.560 --> 0:46:35.240 quote back, they don't go in bag in history. Okay, well, yeah, 0:46:35.360 --> 0:46:37.200 I don't know this. This company has long been since 0:46:37.200 --> 0:46:40.600 out of business. A paint company made a product, had 0:46:40.680 --> 0:46:42.440 lead based paint, who killed a bunch of people. Okay, 0:46:42.520 --> 0:46:44.959 kids are great. Uh that well, that company's not around 0:46:44.960 --> 0:46:48.680 it anymore. Okay, Well, we're just going we'll sue every 0:46:48.760 --> 0:46:52.560 paint company because big painted it. That never stand And 0:46:52.719 --> 0:46:57.799 in this case, how is that even possible? You're listening 0:46:57.880 --> 0:46:59.600 now and you disagree, like I had nothing to do 0:46:59.640 --> 0:47:02.520 with life. I got to pay you though, now, Well, 0:47:02.560 --> 0:47:05.200 but it's different. It's tax money, and it's yeah, but 0:47:05.760 --> 0:47:07.040 you're going to give the Let's say you give the 0:47:07.040 --> 0:47:09.920 money away. Let's say you did something that other cities, 0:47:10.520 --> 0:47:13.600 other states have tried but can't do. Okay, five million dollars, 0:47:13.640 --> 0:47:15.680 here you go, and then you just hand all this 0:47:15.719 --> 0:47:18.680 money out. It's gone in a flash. And we still 0:47:18.719 --> 0:47:21.880 have violent crime, we still have people who don't have 0:47:21.920 --> 0:47:24.120 any opportunity to rise up. And people take that money, 0:47:24.160 --> 0:47:25.160 what do they do with it? They're going to go 0:47:25.160 --> 0:47:27.560 to school, they can invest in probably not. I mean, 0:47:27.600 --> 0:47:29.560 it's your money. And I'm a proponent of you get 0:47:29.560 --> 0:47:32.160 money as long as they're not caveats. Is what you 0:47:32.239 --> 0:47:34.920 can do with it? It's your money, you don't know, 0:47:35.000 --> 0:47:37.800 blow it all on lottery tickets. Blow it on lottery tickets, 0:47:38.120 --> 0:47:41.000 your cash. Where's the accountability there? And how does that 0:47:41.040 --> 0:47:41.719 lift people up? 0:47:41.719 --> 0:47:41.919 Then? 0:47:42.800 --> 0:47:45.160 Because we've done such a poor job educating people, We've 0:47:45.200 --> 0:47:49.160 done such a poor job putting a putting a price 0:47:49.200 --> 0:47:52.440 on education. And let's face it, the public school system's 0:47:52.600 --> 0:47:55.600 not good. It's getting better, but it's not good. But 0:47:55.719 --> 0:47:58.120 is that the fault of the teachers, is that the 0:47:58.120 --> 0:48:01.440 fault of the quality student, and those quality students come 0:48:01.480 --> 0:48:03.839 from homes that are broken, or there's problems, there's crime, 0:48:03.880 --> 0:48:05.480 and there's a lot of issues in urban neighborhoods. 0:48:06.640 --> 0:48:09.000 How does that fix this? What will you do. 0:48:08.920 --> 0:48:12.120 With the twenty five or whatever the amount of money is, Well, 0:48:12.120 --> 0:48:14.040 we're gonna ear market to buy homes. Okay, we're gonna 0:48:14.040 --> 0:48:15.680 hear to my bones. So everyone's got money, they're gonna 0:48:15.680 --> 0:48:17.800 want to buy home. Where are these houses you speak of? 0:48:19.200 --> 0:48:25.319 Because right now the housing market is tight. Af Can 0:48:25.360 --> 0:48:27.120 you use that money? Okay, it's twenty five, but you're 0:48:27.120 --> 0:48:28.799 gonna get that money, and now you got to you 0:48:28.840 --> 0:48:31.879 got to put it towards education. All right, Well, we're 0:48:31.920 --> 0:48:34.680 going to have some people go to school, I mean, 0:48:35.360 --> 0:48:36.920 but you're gonna have what it's gonna happen is you're 0:48:36.920 --> 0:48:39.040 gonna have a lot of people start their own quote 0:48:39.080 --> 0:48:42.520 unquote academies that don't teach anybody anything but take their 0:48:42.520 --> 0:48:45.600 twenty five thousand dollars. See what I'm saying, it'll create 0:48:45.600 --> 0:48:49.800 this whole. It's like when there's a hurricane or tornado 0:48:49.880 --> 0:48:52.480 that blows through. You get contractors flooding to an area 0:48:52.520 --> 0:48:53.719 where that's going on. But you got a lot of 0:48:53.760 --> 0:48:56.160 fly by night people who aren't going to do the work. 0:48:56.160 --> 0:48:59.360 They're gonna take the money and leave. And that's what 0:48:59.440 --> 0:49:02.239 you always want with these things. So what is this 0:49:02.320 --> 0:49:05.279 going to do? Well, we made you a whole Okay, Well, 0:49:05.320 --> 0:49:08.640 and I don't know, five, ten, twenty years, we hand 0:49:08.640 --> 0:49:12.759 this money out and the needle hasn't moved. Okay, it 0:49:12.800 --> 0:49:15.600 hasn't helped people's lives. It briefly helped their lives, but 0:49:15.640 --> 0:49:21.120 it didn't help their lives. And educational attainments still the same. 0:49:21.400 --> 0:49:23.760 Joblessness is still the same. Crime is still the same. 0:49:24.880 --> 0:49:26.759 Maybe we need to get ten million dollars this time. 0:49:26.760 --> 0:49:31.040 Maybe that will do it, you know, and jamished, I'll 0:49:31.040 --> 0:49:32.959 try to get jam Michelle on last week. She's friend 0:49:32.960 --> 0:49:34.799 of the show. I just disagree with on this issue. 0:49:34.800 --> 0:49:36.239 I think it's tired. I think it's Warren. I think 0:49:36.239 --> 0:49:38.120 it's more to visit than anything else. Proved me wrong. 0:49:39.760 --> 0:49:41.360 I'll give her some credit here. She says it's not 0:49:41.480 --> 0:49:43.480 race based, but she's probably seen that for a reason, 0:49:43.480 --> 0:49:47.560 because if it's explicitly race based, it most certainly violates 0:49:47.920 --> 0:49:50.920 civil rights law and the equal protection clause of the 0:49:50.920 --> 0:49:55.240 Fourteenth Amendment. You know, let's go back to twenty twenty 0:49:55.239 --> 0:49:58.400 three in the Harvard decision, the Affirmative Action decision, racial 0:49:58.719 --> 0:50:03.640 classifications require the strict scrutiny. Right, you gotta have compelling 0:50:03.640 --> 0:50:07.279 government interest, as it said. So you're trying to thread 0:50:07.280 --> 0:50:09.440 the needle calling it income based, a neighborhood based. But 0:50:09.440 --> 0:50:12.720 those fifteen neighborhoods are not randomly selected. They're specifically the poorest, 0:50:12.920 --> 0:50:17.080 most racially concentrated areas in Cincinnati. So there's real legal 0:50:17.080 --> 0:50:19.920 exposure here for the city. And if it passes, it 0:50:19.920 --> 0:50:21.000 gets challenged. Guess what. 0:50:22.480 --> 0:50:23.399 We pay for that too. 0:50:24.440 --> 0:50:26.960 So you're paying for reparations, and you're gonna pay most 0:50:26.960 --> 0:50:31.600 certainly for the lawsuits that are coming down. And that 0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:34.000 is absolutely one hundred percent going to happen as a 0:50:34.040 --> 0:50:39.880 result of this. I mean, okay, So you can't deny 0:50:39.920 --> 0:50:42.640 that redlining didn't happen. It did, Right, nobody's arguing that 0:50:42.680 --> 0:50:45.920 black families weren't denied the ability to build generational wealth 0:50:45.920 --> 0:50:49.920 through home ownership. They were in the nineteen Twentiescording to 0:50:49.920 --> 0:50:53.440 the story, Cincinnati Real Estate Board they literally said this 0:50:53.520 --> 0:50:56.400 in nineteen twenties, no agent shall rent or sell property 0:50:56.400 --> 0:50:59.560 to colored people on established white section. That's what the 0:50:59.640 --> 0:51:04.040 loss had been and that's documented. It's real, it happened 0:51:04.800 --> 0:51:09.600 in the nineteen twenties, and it's horrible. But the answer 0:51:09.719 --> 0:51:13.640 to this systemic wrong is not a program that can't 0:51:13.680 --> 0:51:16.760 identify who the defendant is, You can't verify eligibility, can't 0:51:17.120 --> 0:51:21.840 cap costs, may not even survive a legal challenge. The 0:51:21.880 --> 0:51:24.600 answer is race neutral investment in neighborhoods that were harmed, 0:51:24.640 --> 0:51:28.480 better schools, infrastructure, maybe business loans, job training, housing programs. 0:51:28.640 --> 0:51:30.359 I mean, if you're gonna do it, do something like that. 0:51:30.640 --> 0:51:33.799 But we had those programs before and have they worked well. 0:51:33.840 --> 0:51:36.919 If they did, we wouldn't need this. And it also 0:51:37.000 --> 0:51:38.960 helps the actual people live in there now, regardless of 0:51:38.960 --> 0:51:40.920 whether they can prove their grandmother it was died alone 0:51:41.040 --> 0:51:49.040 in nineteen twenty eight or nineteen fifty two. The parallel 0:51:49.080 --> 0:51:50.480 here and you hear it this, well, what about what 0:51:50.560 --> 0:51:53.400 happened to Japanese during World War Two? As you know, 0:51:53.440 --> 0:51:57.160 there were internment camps for Japanese. Once the Japanese attacked 0:51:57.160 --> 0:52:00.160 Pearl harborly looked at anyone who's Asian, and particularly Japanese, 0:52:00.480 --> 0:52:05.560 as potential spies, and we rounded them up, took their 0:52:05.560 --> 0:52:07.040 proper well, I don't know if we took their proper 0:52:07.080 --> 0:52:11.840 we held, we put them in internment camps, and American 0:52:11.840 --> 0:52:15.719 internment reparations work precisely because they were targeted. They're verifiable, 0:52:15.760 --> 0:52:19.759 and they're finite. If you're a living survivor, there was 0:52:19.840 --> 0:52:24.680 documented government action against you and your family, and then therefore, 0:52:24.680 --> 0:52:27.239 if that's the case, you receive a fixed payment. That's 0:52:27.280 --> 0:52:31.520 a model. This is not that. That is maybe that 0:52:31.840 --> 0:52:34.360 I don't know. There's twenty three and millions some DNA evidence. 0:52:36.160 --> 0:52:38.239 But if you're really in the genealogy, maybe you got 0:52:38.239 --> 0:52:41.799 a shot at this. But most people don't. Most people 0:52:41.840 --> 0:52:43.279 are going to do that kind of homework. We're just 0:52:43.320 --> 0:52:47.680 going to assume that because you live in this neighborhood 0:52:47.920 --> 0:52:52.960 and because if you're a particular racial element you deserve money. 0:52:53.719 --> 0:52:56.759 That is not the same as Japanese Americans who were 0:52:56.760 --> 0:52:59.839 interred during World War Two. Now we have an all 0:53:00.000 --> 0:53:03.719 democratic city council. Every single member is elected as a Democrat. 0:53:04.120 --> 0:53:06.839 There's no opposition whatsoever, even though you look at the crime, 0:53:06.920 --> 0:53:11.359 look at the problems we had and still went yep, well, 0:53:11.360 --> 0:53:13.560 we elect mayor after fear O Luck to council as 0:53:13.600 --> 0:53:15.800 a whole sure got it. Now some of us outside 0:53:15.800 --> 0:53:18.840 the city look at this and go I got my 0:53:18.880 --> 0:53:21.360 popcorn out, And I mean, look at the thing with 0:53:21.400 --> 0:53:23.239 Fiji that we talked to at the Kenkober at nine 0:53:23.239 --> 0:53:24.440 o six on. By the way, I'll be on the 0:53:24.480 --> 0:53:27.840 podcast if you miss that. They've now extended the Frost 0:53:27.880 --> 0:53:31.560 Brown Todd contract a third time. We're into We're gonna 0:53:31.560 --> 0:53:34.600 be going into six months after letting Terry Thigi go 0:53:34.960 --> 0:53:36.560 without an answer as to wire a letter go in 0:53:36.600 --> 0:53:40.320 the first place. You know, I I often and I 0:53:40.320 --> 0:53:42.600 always get killed for this and when I dare criticize 0:53:42.640 --> 0:53:45.520 Republicans and Republican leadership in Columbus, which is run by 0:53:45.520 --> 0:53:47.760 Republicans Larry Householder, et cetera. 0:53:47.960 --> 0:53:50.439 And oh what kindor I'm fair? 0:53:50.520 --> 0:53:52.680 Is what I am. I'm tired of bs. I don't 0:53:52.719 --> 0:53:54.799 care if the right or left quit blowing smoke up 0:53:54.840 --> 0:54:00.520 my rectum. Damn here killed them. This is a council's 0:54:00.520 --> 0:54:04.080 side of this job is progressive politics and not managining 0:54:04.160 --> 0:54:06.839 since the night I Meanwhile, the city's like forty nine 0:54:06.840 --> 0:54:10.239 thousand dollars into an investigation a thij who's getting paid 0:54:10.280 --> 0:54:13.280 two hundred and three k year to sit home Adam 0:54:13.280 --> 0:54:15.360 Henny who has it's not his fault. It seems like 0:54:15.360 --> 0:54:17.040 a good guy and the good cops, a cops cop, 0:54:17.560 --> 0:54:19.480 he's getting paid. It's like, I'm sure he got a 0:54:19.480 --> 0:54:23.080 bump to be chief. We're funding the lawsuit, as I said, 0:54:23.560 --> 0:54:26.480 and will also follow, believe me, the settlement that's coming 0:54:26.560 --> 0:54:28.640 down between the g and the city. So Shia will 0:54:28.680 --> 0:54:32.000 sign a non disclosure agreement that doesn't tell anyone how 0:54:32.080 --> 0:54:36.160 much money she's getting or admitting guilt. And now we're 0:54:36.160 --> 0:54:40.160 talking serious money. Two hundred three k a year plus 0:54:40.200 --> 0:54:43.439 Henny plus a legal fees. That's jump change. The real 0:54:43.480 --> 0:54:48.440 money is going to come into settlement. Priorities matter, Resources 0:54:48.480 --> 0:54:51.239 are finite. Every dollar of this council spending on a 0:54:51.239 --> 0:54:54.200 program that may be on constitution unfundable that there's no 0:54:54.280 --> 0:54:56.520 eligible the criteria for is not a dollar. It's a 0:54:56.560 --> 0:55:00.719 dollar not going to public safety in the roads, it's 0:55:00.760 --> 0:55:02.320 not going to the things the city government is a 0:55:02.320 --> 0:55:05.480 responsible So we're gonna give five more million dollars away. 0:55:06.320 --> 0:55:09.640 And I'm you know, I get it. It's a terrible thing. 0:55:09.920 --> 0:55:14.360 We agree one hundred percent, but you can't you cannot 0:55:14.440 --> 0:55:16.880 unite people to by dividing them, and that's what this 0:55:16.960 --> 0:55:20.600 seeks to do. I know, heavy for a Friday morning, 0:55:20.600 --> 0:55:22.680 but the storage just broke this morning. We'll switch it up. 0:55:22.680 --> 0:55:25.000 We've got sports, sports and more sports. Red legs looking 0:55:25.000 --> 0:55:27.880 pretty good out in Arizona. We got some UC news, 0:55:27.920 --> 0:55:30.440 We've got FC making news, and much much more. It's 0:55:30.480 --> 0:55:33.200 just ahead here Scott's loan with Austin Elmore from ESPN 0:55:33.280 --> 0:55:36.239 fifteen thirty looking ahead. What you're gonna watch sports wise 0:55:36.280 --> 0:55:43.600 this weekend? Seven hundred ww That music can mean only 0:55:43.640 --> 0:55:47.239 one thing. Gladys are coming in the ring. Or it's 0:55:47.280 --> 0:55:52.480 Austin Elmore, ESPN, fifteen thirties, Sports Authority. 0:55:52.719 --> 0:55:55.799 You know the name of this song? No trophies? Well 0:55:55.840 --> 0:55:59.200 by uh Drake? Oh it's Drake. Okay, but I just 0:55:59.280 --> 0:56:02.360 I you know trophies. My team's never win any but 0:56:02.600 --> 0:56:03.080 me neither. 0:56:03.400 --> 0:56:05.400 And I'm older than you are, you know, just trying 0:56:05.640 --> 0:56:11.600 ang yes one time, just one, Give me one, Give 0:56:11.640 --> 0:56:14.359 me one, give me one. What has less meaning this week? 0:56:14.400 --> 0:56:17.719 Austin Elmore spring training or the NFL. 0:56:17.440 --> 0:56:22.319 Combine Spring training? Spring training is far less meaningful. I mean, well, 0:56:22.320 --> 0:56:23.520 what is going on the combine? 0:56:23.560 --> 0:56:25.799 It's so it's Okay, they're doing press conferences every day 0:56:25.800 --> 0:56:27.640 and they're finally talking. I get that, but it's watching 0:56:27.680 --> 0:56:30.200 guys high jump and run. It's like, we know you 0:56:30.239 --> 0:56:32.440 can jump high and lead fast. It doesn't mean anything. 0:56:32.480 --> 0:56:36.600 The on field workouts are probably the least important part 0:56:36.719 --> 0:56:40.680 of the combine. What you actually get are medical exams, 0:56:40.800 --> 0:56:45.560 team interviews, and full measurements of players, because you know, 0:56:45.640 --> 0:56:48.480 everybody lies when they're at their shore. Say they're bigger 0:56:48.480 --> 0:56:51.120 than they are, taller than they are, faster than they are. Well, 0:56:51.160 --> 0:56:55.120 the NFL guys finally get to get their hands on 0:56:55.160 --> 0:56:59.040 some of these guys, like physically and in all these 0:56:59.080 --> 0:57:02.360 different ways. So it is meaningful to have these interviews. 0:57:02.400 --> 0:57:05.440 And oftentimes a team that interviews a player, they are 0:57:05.480 --> 0:57:07.479 more likely to draft him. So these guys are making 0:57:07.480 --> 0:57:10.439 millions of dollars. Teams are you know, crossing guys off 0:57:10.480 --> 0:57:13.000 their boards and so on and so forth. So yes, 0:57:13.040 --> 0:57:16.400 it's more meaningful. Have we done the math on we 0:57:16.480 --> 0:57:17.680 were in too the math Actually I was going to 0:57:17.720 --> 0:57:19.520 ask that question, but the corlish. Okay, so we have 0:57:19.520 --> 0:57:21.960 the combine. I okay, well, now we can really get 0:57:21.960 --> 0:57:22.840 down to the data here. 0:57:22.880 --> 0:57:24.280 And then of course you have the draft, and it's 0:57:24.320 --> 0:57:27.360 based on how they played in college, but also somewhat 0:57:27.360 --> 0:57:28.720 to do with the combine. I don't know what the 0:57:28.800 --> 0:57:31.800 ratio is there exactly, but again it's large. I'd say 0:57:31.800 --> 0:57:33.600 that first round kind of crapshoot. Is the guys how 0:57:33.600 --> 0:57:35.720 we're going to turn on, specially quarterbacks, because it's where 0:57:35.720 --> 0:57:38.600 you're drafted and the I guess the system built around 0:57:38.640 --> 0:57:41.280 you to allow you to succeed, which makes Joe Burrow 0:57:41.280 --> 0:57:43.520 even more incredible of a freak that he is in 0:57:43.520 --> 0:57:45.440 that regard. And so it's like it's still at the 0:57:45.520 --> 0:57:48.680 end of the day, an educated guest, Yeah, it absolutely is. 0:57:48.760 --> 0:57:50.720 There are a ton of different factors that go into 0:57:50.760 --> 0:57:53.160 whether or not a player is going to be successful 0:57:53.200 --> 0:57:55.640 at this particular team. And that's why the combine has 0:57:55.680 --> 0:57:58.240 become such a big deal is because you do start 0:57:58.280 --> 0:58:01.360 to apply. Okay, the data from years past has led 0:58:01.400 --> 0:58:03.840 to this result. So guys that are doing it this 0:58:03.960 --> 0:58:07.200 year could be on this track. And obviously, as you mentioned, 0:58:07.240 --> 0:58:10.280 there's things that are far just as important. Who the 0:58:10.320 --> 0:58:13.120 coach is, what the cap situation is, the players in 0:58:13.120 --> 0:58:16.240 front of that guy, the player's personal life and their 0:58:16.240 --> 0:58:18.240 family and all this others like, there's a lot that 0:58:18.280 --> 0:58:20.160 goes into it, for sure, So you're right, yes, it's 0:58:20.200 --> 0:58:22.920 an educated guess. But this is the part where you 0:58:22.960 --> 0:58:25.960 get the education. You get to figure out, Okay, here's 0:58:26.000 --> 0:58:27.680 how we feel about a player, right. 0:58:28.200 --> 0:58:30.640 And at the same time, despite all of that stuff, 0:58:32.480 --> 0:58:34.560 the biggest questions of the combat are like, Okay, are 0:58:34.560 --> 0:58:36.760 they going to give are they going to tag Trey Hendrickson? 0:58:36.840 --> 0:58:38.880 Are they who's going to be the backup? Because are 0:58:38.920 --> 0:58:41.360 they going to resign Flocko? Those are the big questions 0:58:41.400 --> 0:58:43.600 right now. Yeah, I mean, I think Trey's the biggest one. 0:58:43.920 --> 0:58:46.479 And it was reported by Kelsey Conway earlier this week 0:58:46.520 --> 0:58:48.720 that or last week that the Bengals are going to 0:58:48.760 --> 0:58:50.840 spend the week in Indianapolis trying to figure out if 0:58:50.840 --> 0:58:52.800 there's any value for Trey Hendrickson, if it would be 0:58:52.800 --> 0:58:55.240 worth it for them to tag him and trade him. Now, 0:58:55.320 --> 0:58:58.480 listening to Duke Tobin and Zach Taylor and the coordinators 0:58:58.480 --> 0:59:00.680 and everyone over the week, it doesn't like that's going 0:59:00.760 --> 0:59:04.480 to be a realistic possibility. So March third, this coming week, 0:59:04.840 --> 0:59:07.320 is the deadline for whether or not the Bengals are 0:59:07.360 --> 0:59:08.760 going to tag him and if they're going to tag him, 0:59:08.800 --> 0:59:10.160 they're more than likely going to trade him. 0:59:10.360 --> 0:59:12.040 I don't think that's going to happen. 0:59:12.200 --> 0:59:14.560 I don't think the Bengals are going to tag him therefore, 0:59:14.600 --> 0:59:16.760 I don't think they're going to trade him. Therefore, he's 0:59:16.800 --> 0:59:19.040 going to become a free agent when the league year 0:59:19.040 --> 0:59:20.120 begins on March eleventh. 0:59:20.200 --> 0:59:22.520 Gotcha, And that is the word coming out of Indianapolis. 0:59:22.640 --> 0:59:25.720 That's my guess based off of It's always been my 0:59:25.880 --> 0:59:28.560 thought as to what's going on. Unless the Bengals are 0:59:28.600 --> 0:59:30.960 talking to a team over there and they offer them 0:59:31.000 --> 0:59:33.000 something that they can't refuse, which I don't think they 0:59:33.000 --> 0:59:35.680 would do because the Bengals don't have much leverage in 0:59:35.680 --> 0:59:37.959 this situation. I think they're going to let them walk 0:59:38.120 --> 0:59:40.520 because that's typically what they've done in the past. There's 0:59:40.520 --> 0:59:43.400 been very few tags and trades over the last several years. 0:59:43.640 --> 0:59:43.880 Now. 0:59:44.040 --> 0:59:46.080 The thing is is, why are you sitting here telling 0:59:46.120 --> 0:59:48.240 me the Why are you telling me of this from Indianapolis? 0:59:48.280 --> 0:59:50.800 Because I try TV is streaming, everyone is there. 0:59:50.840 --> 0:59:51.200 Why aren't you? 0:59:51.240 --> 0:59:53.600 There's good question you should be there. It's a good question. 0:59:53.680 --> 0:59:55.600 You know, I don't know how much authority and say 0:59:55.600 --> 0:59:57.240 you have. I don't know if I can trust. 0:59:56.920 --> 0:59:59.240 You, Audi, I have very little authority. 0:59:59.280 --> 1:00:02.080 I am a as big of a nobody as there 1:00:02.160 --> 1:00:07.360 is no Pike's not there, is not there, Miss Dumpster. 1:00:08.400 --> 1:00:12.440 Callister is not there, Dennison is not there. Well, we 1:00:12.480 --> 1:00:17.600 don't have anybody there. We asked if we were told 1:00:17.560 --> 1:00:19.880 you would be there, all right, and then we weren't. 1:00:20.320 --> 1:00:24.920 Okay, let's talk about baseball. Why do you hate baseball? 1:00:24.960 --> 1:00:25.160 Somemod. 1:00:25.160 --> 1:00:27.960 I don't hate baseball better than spring turning baseball wrong 1:00:28.000 --> 1:00:29.560 with you said, which is more meaningful? 1:00:30.440 --> 1:00:31.200 In Cincinnati? 1:00:31.240 --> 1:00:34.040 I don't care about Nick Sando giving up Grand Slams 1:00:34.040 --> 1:00:36.920 to Manny Machado. Why should I That dude played in 1:00:37.160 --> 1:00:38.840 Dayton last year. He's not going to be on a 1:00:38.840 --> 1:00:42.800 big league team. Rhett Louder deals today, Htt Louder. Rhet Louder, 1:00:42.840 --> 1:00:45.680 I like Redd Louder Brent Suter. It is a reds 1:00:45.880 --> 1:00:48.560 the old red matchup to Brent Suter pitching for the 1:00:48.600 --> 1:00:51.280 Los Angeles Angels and Rhett Louder. 1:00:51.400 --> 1:00:51.840 You can't. 1:00:52.000 --> 1:00:54.000 I mean, you want to talk about two opposite into 1:00:54.040 --> 1:00:57.040 the spect Uh, you're gonna see that. I mean Rhet 1:00:57.080 --> 1:00:59.200 Louder and Chase Burns continue to kind of compete for 1:00:59.240 --> 1:01:02.040 that final spot. Chase Burns looked pretty good yesterday. He 1:01:02.160 --> 1:01:05.000 keeps walking some guys. I think through two starts. That's 1:01:05.040 --> 1:01:08.760 probably my biggest concern is the control from Chase Burns. 1:01:09.120 --> 1:01:12.720 But his slider is absolutely filthy. He's getting a swing 1:01:12.760 --> 1:01:14.720 and a miss on ninety percent of the sliders that 1:01:14.760 --> 1:01:17.160 he throws. I mean, if you're doing that, you're gonna 1:01:17.200 --> 1:01:18.840 last a while in the big leagues. It's gonna be 1:01:18.880 --> 1:01:20.920 tough for Rhet Louder to out do that. Yeah, you 1:01:20.920 --> 1:01:22.520 would think so. But at the same time, if Rhet 1:01:22.560 --> 1:01:24.360 Louder is able to keep the ball, you know, in 1:01:24.400 --> 1:01:26.280 the strike zone a little bit more frequently, and not 1:01:26.360 --> 1:01:28.720 walk as many guys and not put himself in such 1:01:28.720 --> 1:01:31.200 a difficult position. I mean, keep in mind, Rhet Louder 1:01:31.200 --> 1:01:33.800 made six starts towards the end of twenty twenty four 1:01:34.000 --> 1:01:36.120 and had a one point one point seven r right. 1:01:36.160 --> 1:01:38.400 I mean, he was really good feeling. So I don't 1:01:38.440 --> 1:01:40.760 know that it's just cut and dry. Chase Burns is 1:01:40.800 --> 1:01:42.480 gonna be the fifth starter. I think there's still some 1:01:42.560 --> 1:01:45.200 competition to play. He bitch good yesterday. See what Louder 1:01:45.240 --> 1:01:47.160 does and it's just the first few days of spring trying. 1:01:47.200 --> 1:01:49.120 A lot can happen between now and then. So before 1:01:49.160 --> 1:01:51.680 you say Burns is gonna be the fifth starter, we'll see, Yeah. 1:01:51.680 --> 1:01:55.680 I mean there's still twenty seven long days, long days 1:01:55.760 --> 1:01:57.080 between now and opening down, all right. 1:01:57.040 --> 1:01:59.480 And Lodola looks sharp in his day before strikeouts two 1:01:59.480 --> 1:02:01.760 scoreless and except the White Sox so yeah good good 1:02:01.760 --> 1:02:02.320 out of the box. 1:02:02.480 --> 1:02:04.480 Yeah, and a White Sox team that's spent a lot 1:02:04.520 --> 1:02:07.520 of money and is expected to be better offensively. And 1:02:07.920 --> 1:02:09.960 Lodolo looked really good, man. I mean, I think a 1:02:10.000 --> 1:02:12.840 lot of people have said his ceiling is still very 1:02:12.960 --> 1:02:15.800 very high. It comes down with him, with Hunter Green 1:02:16.600 --> 1:02:18.960 and with Andrew Abbott. Can those guys make a combined 1:02:19.040 --> 1:02:21.520 ninety starts? Can you get thirty starts out of each 1:02:21.560 --> 1:02:23.160 of those dudes? And if so, I think the Reds 1:02:23.200 --> 1:02:24.680 are going to be in the postseason and maybe a 1:02:24.840 --> 1:02:28.360 l Central champions. But with Lodolo it's the same story. 1:02:28.520 --> 1:02:30.720 Can he stay healthy for a full season because when 1:02:30.760 --> 1:02:32.560 he's on, we saw it last year, we saw it 1:02:32.680 --> 1:02:34.560 yesterday or two days ago in training. 1:02:34.760 --> 1:02:37.000 He's a beast. That's a long season. Graham Ashcraft got 1:02:37.120 --> 1:02:39.120 rocked for with six runs two thirds of an inning. 1:02:39.160 --> 1:02:39.320 That was. 1:02:39.480 --> 1:02:41.320 That was a rough one that I'm trying not to 1:02:41.440 --> 1:02:45.360 overreact because as I said, it's it's not that meaningful. 1:02:45.720 --> 1:02:48.600 But I just sometimes I feel like there's a lack 1:02:48.680 --> 1:02:51.600 of focus sometimes with Graham Ashcraft that I don't quite understand. 1:02:51.640 --> 1:02:53.840 But I don't know what he was working on yesterday. 1:02:54.000 --> 1:02:56.040 I don't know if he was just throwing a specific 1:02:56.120 --> 1:02:58.320 cutter to try to work on that pitch and he 1:02:58.440 --> 1:02:59.960 threw it three times in a row and it got black. 1:03:00.400 --> 1:03:00.680 I don't know. 1:03:00.800 --> 1:03:02.520 I don't know exactly what he was working on. So 1:03:02.640 --> 1:03:05.640 it's it's unfair to sure provide a full evaluation, and 1:03:05.680 --> 1:03:07.920 we shouldn't lose our mind over Chase Burns either. So well, 1:03:08.560 --> 1:03:09.440 it's all about to is. 1:03:09.440 --> 1:03:12.280 What I going back. None of this stuff really matters. 1:03:12.600 --> 1:03:15.280 Five five games played so far in Cactus League action, 1:03:15.400 --> 1:03:16.840 and the back at it today. By way, it's a 1:03:16.920 --> 1:03:19.520 three h five pitch first pitch here on the home 1:03:19.600 --> 1:03:21.800 of the Red, seven hundred w other Friday, the sun's 1:03:21.840 --> 1:03:24.880 out and we've got baseball and sixty degrees son. Yeah 1:03:25.000 --> 1:03:27.960 that's pretty good, right, Yeah, it's pretty good offensively though, 1:03:28.560 --> 1:03:31.400 Elli Dala Cruz came to camp and he put some 1:03:31.840 --> 1:03:34.560 good weight on seventeen pounds, five hits of spring all 1:03:34.560 --> 1:03:38.680 extra basis, triple double Thursday. Sal Stewart a slimmer down 1:03:38.760 --> 1:03:42.040 Sales Stuart I kind of like my Sal Stewart, like 1:03:42.120 --> 1:03:43.400 my l Rokers. I let him thick. 1:03:45.160 --> 1:03:45.280 Well. 1:03:45.400 --> 1:03:47.680 People were worried about is that gonna, you know, rook 1:03:47.720 --> 1:03:50.680 into your candidate lead to a power outage for salth 1:03:50.720 --> 1:03:52.600 Stuart apparently not. He hit a home run the other 1:03:52.720 --> 1:03:55.640 day that was so far inside. It was a pitch 1:03:55.720 --> 1:03:58.480 that you typically don't want people swinging at, but he 1:03:58.680 --> 1:04:01.000 was able to get the barrel so far inside, bring 1:04:01.120 --> 1:04:04.640 those hands in and hit one four hundred plus feet 1:04:05.200 --> 1:04:08.400 on a like a scud missile to left center field 1:04:08.400 --> 1:04:09.520 to hit it out of the ballpark. 1:04:09.680 --> 1:04:11.120 That sort of raw power. 1:04:11.240 --> 1:04:13.240 Even when you lose some weight and get in better shape, 1:04:13.280 --> 1:04:14.880 to be a little lighter on your feet, you still 1:04:14.920 --> 1:04:17.440 have that type of power, that type of bat speed. 1:04:18.000 --> 1:04:19.640 South Stewart could have a big season. Yeah. 1:04:19.640 --> 1:04:21.600 And there's always a guysally a gavp. There's those a 1:04:21.640 --> 1:04:22.479 guy that comes to camp. 1:04:23.240 --> 1:04:24.960 I'm not saying he will or won't be, but it's 1:04:25.240 --> 1:04:28.120 it's either rookie and sale had a you know he 1:04:28.160 --> 1:04:29.760 had I wouldn't say cup of coffee, but he was 1:04:29.760 --> 1:04:31.480 there for the playoffs and everything. There this a guy 1:04:31.520 --> 1:04:33.240 comes along, either rookie or a veteran that comes in. 1:04:33.400 --> 1:04:35.520 It's like, oh my god, this guy JJ ble. 1:04:35.480 --> 1:04:37.240 Today is that guy. Every year there's a guy. He's 1:04:37.240 --> 1:04:39.000 that guy right now, I look like Barry Bonds. 1:04:39.040 --> 1:04:41.520 The other day it's four hundred and fifty foot job. 1:04:41.600 --> 1:04:42.120 The way he. 1:04:42.280 --> 1:04:44.280 Dropped a barrel on that thing and sent it four 1:04:44.400 --> 1:04:47.640 hundred and sixty four feet. You know, we kind of 1:04:47.680 --> 1:04:49.760 made fun of JJ Budey. He met with the media. 1:04:49.840 --> 1:04:51.920 You know they there's a bunch of media in a 1:04:52.040 --> 1:04:57.040 goodyear as well covering the Reds. Who media like local media? 1:04:57.240 --> 1:04:59.800 You mean people? That isn't it interesting? 1:05:00.360 --> 1:05:00.520 Wait? 1:05:00.600 --> 1:05:02.280 So you're saying that there are people in sports that 1:05:02.360 --> 1:05:03.040 hold on a second? 1:05:03.080 --> 1:05:06.880 Okay, The seven hundred w LW is the flagship radio 1:05:06.960 --> 1:05:09.840 station of the Cincinnati Reds. How often do we have 1:05:09.960 --> 1:05:11.480 people in goodyear covering the team? 1:05:12.880 --> 1:05:13.000 Well? 1:05:13.320 --> 1:05:13.880 Screw that up. 1:05:14.320 --> 1:05:16.040 Well, I'm not here to blame people. I'm just saying, 1:05:16.320 --> 1:05:16.960 does it happen? 1:05:17.480 --> 1:05:17.520 No? 1:05:17.800 --> 1:05:22.840 Okay? What about down the hall I don't want to know. 1:05:23.760 --> 1:05:27.400 ESPN fifteen thirty flagship station the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, you 1:05:27.480 --> 1:05:29.840 have nobody at the epicenter of the NFL universe ninety 1:05:29.840 --> 1:05:30.560 minutes up the road. 1:05:31.240 --> 1:05:34.960 Last screw that, Okay, blame to those starts. 1:05:35.080 --> 1:05:39.160 No, oh my god, with the I don't even I 1:05:39.200 --> 1:05:40.360 don't even want to. I don't even want to. 1:05:40.520 --> 1:05:42.480 Let me just let's just say that there was a 1:05:42.560 --> 1:05:43.479 lot of money was paid. 1:05:43.760 --> 1:05:51.360 Oh, oh my goodness. All right, Austin Elmore's here from 1:05:51.640 --> 1:05:55.040 ESPN fifteen thirty, kicking around sports waiting for me outside 1:05:55.080 --> 1:05:55.320 the hall. 1:05:56.040 --> 1:05:56.520 This is me. 1:05:56.640 --> 1:05:59.640 I'm good. Oh, I know, you're fine. Fine, I'm invested. 1:05:59.680 --> 1:06:01.760 VET got more dirt on that doesn't happen on me, 1:06:02.240 --> 1:06:04.680 So that works. I got stories, I got pictures. I'll 1:06:04.720 --> 1:06:10.280 go public, be honest, they're not missing it. I don't care. 1:06:11.000 --> 1:06:14.400 All right, let's get into well offensive. We talked about Ellie, 1:06:14.480 --> 1:06:17.240 We talked about sale. The biggest question is going to 1:06:17.240 --> 1:06:19.600 be Matt McLain. Can he return to where he was 1:06:19.760 --> 1:06:22.400 prior to last season? Yeah, and so far, so good. Yeah, 1:06:22.480 --> 1:06:23.520 so far it looks really good. 1:06:23.560 --> 1:06:25.880 The big development we talked about last week Matt McClain 1:06:25.960 --> 1:06:28.280 long pants, maybe that's the difference. 1:06:28.720 --> 1:06:30.120 But he contribuses to draw. 1:06:30.400 --> 1:06:31.160 He continues to. 1:06:31.160 --> 1:06:33.640 Have good at bats and make contact, and that was 1:06:33.680 --> 1:06:37.040 the big thing last year. Even when he he wasn't 1:06:37.080 --> 1:06:39.680 making contact. He wasn't even falling balls off last year, 1:06:39.720 --> 1:06:41.560 and it's like, okay, you got to get the timing down. 1:06:41.760 --> 1:06:43.320 He had a two week stretch where he looked like 1:06:43.400 --> 1:06:46.240 Matt McClain, and then the other forty weeks of the 1:06:46.280 --> 1:06:49.640 season he looked horrible. So if he can just continue 1:06:49.680 --> 1:06:52.800 to make contacts and let that ball travel in the 1:06:52.880 --> 1:06:54.440 zone a little bit and kind of go the other 1:06:54.480 --> 1:06:56.320 way with it, that was a big issue with him. 1:06:56.480 --> 1:06:58.520 I think he's adjusted his stance a little bit. You 1:06:58.640 --> 1:07:00.240 kind of go through all the stuff over the course 1:07:00.240 --> 1:07:02.800 of the off season. Another year of health for that shoulder. 1:07:02.920 --> 1:07:05.880 I have big expectations for Matt McLean, but last year 1:07:05.920 --> 1:07:08.640 he was a beast in spring training as well. To 1:07:09.040 --> 1:07:10.520 go back to the point we just made, you don't 1:07:10.520 --> 1:07:12.520 know what Graham Ashcraft is, don't know what Chase burn. 1:07:12.920 --> 1:07:14.880 You can apply that to the pitchers the Reds are 1:07:14.880 --> 1:07:16.760 facing as well, so you don't put a ton of 1:07:16.800 --> 1:07:19.720 stock into it. But if you're still making contact, if 1:07:19.720 --> 1:07:21.960 you're doing the right things, that's at least something to 1:07:21.960 --> 1:07:22.400 look forward to. 1:07:22.480 --> 1:07:24.120 Okay, final play, because I want to make it sound like, 1:07:24.160 --> 1:07:25.880 you know, we're Red's Homer's here, or throw a little 1:07:25.920 --> 1:07:28.880 negative in here. The base running. Reds struggle with base running. 1:07:28.880 --> 1:07:30.880 Always struggled. He struggled yesterday badly. 1:07:31.400 --> 1:07:31.600 Yeah. 1:07:32.120 --> 1:07:34.040 I don't know how to explain it. 1:07:34.200 --> 1:07:34.360 I have. 1:07:34.720 --> 1:07:36.640 You don't want to go it's spring man, give him 1:07:36.640 --> 1:07:39.240 a break. Okay, that's fair, But it's we've seen this before. 1:07:40.120 --> 1:07:43.200 We've seen it for the last several years, and the 1:07:43.240 --> 1:07:45.360 people that are in charge of base running are still there, 1:07:45.480 --> 1:07:46.640 those coaches are still there. 1:07:46.680 --> 1:07:48.400 It's still been a common theme. 1:07:49.160 --> 1:07:52.800 I don't know, especially for young players who have come 1:07:52.920 --> 1:07:55.680 up playing baseball their entire lives. You know, how to 1:07:55.760 --> 1:08:00.840 run the bases, it's inexplicable. So hopefully that's something that 1:08:00.960 --> 1:08:02.720 they just get that out of their assistance. And Ellie 1:08:02.840 --> 1:08:04.800 was one of the guys that we see that all 1:08:04.800 --> 1:08:05.080 the time. 1:08:05.200 --> 1:08:06.280 Yeah, Ellie is is. 1:08:06.720 --> 1:08:09.720 Sometimes Again, it's just like there's this lack of focus 1:08:09.800 --> 1:08:12.720 where it's like, oh crap, so play all nine innies 1:08:12.760 --> 1:08:14.880 need to be there, that's right, you need to be there. 1:08:15.840 --> 1:08:18.599 Let's pivot to FC there in action of at Minnesota. 1:08:18.600 --> 1:08:22.040 That's a four thirty match. I believe you rarely see 1:08:22.080 --> 1:08:23.880 a team put up nine on another club, But it 1:08:24.000 --> 1:08:28.000 was that weird cup thing that. It was a bunch 1:08:28.040 --> 1:08:29.960 of guys that were I think it's like the Jamaican 1:08:30.000 --> 1:08:30.679 Bob's led. 1:08:30.560 --> 1:08:33.519 Team back the O and m f C from the 1:08:33.600 --> 1:08:37.759 Dominican Republic were only able to have i think fourteen 1:08:37.920 --> 1:08:40.799 players make the trip because of travel and visa issues. 1:08:41.479 --> 1:08:44.080 So when you have that, you're you know, it's cold 1:08:44.160 --> 1:08:47.160 here compared to what it was for them in the DR. 1:08:47.800 --> 1:08:50.840 That's a recipe for a nine, nine to nothing slacking. 1:08:51.320 --> 1:08:53.880 Now you talk about this weekend at Minnesota. They don't 1:08:53.880 --> 1:08:55.600 play that thing in the dome up there with the 1:08:55.680 --> 1:08:58.479 Vikings player. Now Minnesota is going to be outdoors. It's 1:08:58.520 --> 1:09:03.040 gonna be four degree trees for FC Cincinnati tomorrow afternoon 1:09:03.120 --> 1:09:05.479 in Minnesota. That's gonna play a role, I'm sure in 1:09:05.640 --> 1:09:08.560 that game. But whenever you have a game nine to 1:09:08.600 --> 1:09:10.639 nothing and you don't have to use the full squad 1:09:10.720 --> 1:09:11.960 to do it, and you're able to just kind of 1:09:12.000 --> 1:09:14.880 get some momentum and keep some guys going looking forward 1:09:14.880 --> 1:09:16.400 to f C Cincinnati and I really play. 1:09:16.439 --> 1:09:19.040 Sure are they allowed to wear slacks? And I think 1:09:19.080 --> 1:09:20.040 that's what they wear? Slacks? 1:09:21.400 --> 1:09:24.400 I have no idea. Well, if it's four degrees and 1:09:24.400 --> 1:09:27.040 they're running around in shorts, you frostbite a problem there? 1:09:27.160 --> 1:09:31.680 You could could they wear nice slacks? It'd be some plea. No, no, 1:09:31.920 --> 1:09:34.280 no slacks, definitely nothing. Please. 1:09:34.360 --> 1:09:37.559 What about trousers? I think you could use the term 1:09:37.680 --> 1:09:42.880 trousers soccer trousers. See the thing though, Yeah, the kids 1:09:43.000 --> 1:09:46.880 socker trouser kits, trainers. They wear trainers when they The 1:09:47.040 --> 1:09:49.240 n c double A is trying to crack down on 1:09:49.960 --> 1:09:54.839 the pant length and sock height of uniforms in college football. 1:09:54.880 --> 1:09:57.280 Why wouldn't because it's been a big issue, Yes, sure has. 1:09:57.400 --> 1:09:59.879 I mean, these dudes are wearing biker shorts and ankles 1:10:00.320 --> 1:10:03.000 and they look stupid, and the n CUBA has finally 1:10:03.040 --> 1:10:04.559 had enough of it, and they're like, all right, listen, 1:10:04.960 --> 1:10:07.320 you guys, we're gonna suspend you if you don't wear 1:10:07.400 --> 1:10:09.200 your socks above your knee all the way up to 1:10:09.240 --> 1:10:11.760 your pants. Which this is something the NFL has been 1:10:11.800 --> 1:10:13.040 doing for long. Also, that is the. 1:10:13.080 --> 1:10:15.679 Most Austin Elmore take. I've heard it's about. 1:10:15.479 --> 1:10:16.280 I'm a uniform. 1:10:17.920 --> 1:10:18.360 Uniform. 1:10:18.920 --> 1:10:23.280 Yes, finally, Axes out of the Bearcats had a chance. 1:10:23.760 --> 1:10:25.559 I watched the first half on a man, They're they're 1:10:25.600 --> 1:10:28.080 hanging around Texas. All right, we may get something here. 1:10:28.400 --> 1:10:31.000 Upset stun Kansas, they come back, I'm like, man, they 1:10:31.040 --> 1:10:32.000 may win this skin. They did not. 1:10:32.240 --> 1:10:35.560 The Bearcats have gone from unwatchable to intriguing because you 1:10:35.680 --> 1:10:37.519 don't know what you're going to get when they take 1:10:37.600 --> 1:10:40.000 the floor. They play the way they did to get Kansas, 1:10:40.080 --> 1:10:41.719 you feel like they can beat anybody in the country. 1:10:42.560 --> 1:10:44.679 You play the way they did against Eastern Michigan earlier 1:10:44.720 --> 1:10:47.920 this year, you don't like, all right, Texas Tech as 1:10:47.960 --> 1:10:51.080 well the first nine minutes, So uh yeah, you never 1:10:51.160 --> 1:10:53.280 know what you're gonna get. They do have that ability, 1:10:53.400 --> 1:10:56.120 obviously to win games, and if they do, and if 1:10:56.160 --> 1:10:58.960 they go into the Big twelve tournament and are able 1:10:59.040 --> 1:11:00.680 to win one or two games, I don't think it's 1:11:00.760 --> 1:11:02.280 crazy to think they can make the tournament. 1:11:02.680 --> 1:11:04.559 But that inconsistency is going to be a prop I'm 1:11:04.560 --> 1:11:05.320 gonna kill you right there. 1:11:05.320 --> 1:11:07.800 Austell More today at noon on ESPN fifteen thirty with 1:11:07.880 --> 1:11:10.160 his sidekick Tony Pike.

You never heard of Rashid Wallace. You 1:11:47.840 --> 1:11:48.519 never heard that term? 1:11:48.720 --> 1:11:48.880 Never. 1:11:49.479 --> 1:11:51.840 Bald don't lie. I know you're bald, but that doesn't 1:11:51.840 --> 1:11:55.200 translate right here. Bald don't lie, Bald don't lie. You know, 1:11:56.040 --> 1:12:01.479 bald no ball, That's what I said. Bald Ball's bald 1:12:01.520 --> 1:12:04.360 on b alll ball. Oh that's a great name for 1:12:04.400 --> 1:12:07.280 a podcast. Yeah, great, Okay, we got to go. It's 1:12:07.320 --> 1:12:10.400 bald stupid, but bond a live bald online. How you're 1:12:10.439 --> 1:12:14.200 starting to make sense of things? Seven hundred ww Do 1:12:14.200 --> 1:12:17.599 you want to be an American Idiot's flow me back 1:12:17.640 --> 1:12:18.919 on seven hundred ww? 1:12:19.200 --> 1:12:19.599 Aging? 1:12:20.479 --> 1:12:23.719 Oh yeah, that's fair. Is aging optional? 1:12:25.000 --> 1:12:25.040 No? 1:12:25.439 --> 1:12:27.760 We all age, but you can slow it down a bit. 1:12:27.800 --> 1:12:32.000 The question is how, and the answer is science. Our 1:12:32.040 --> 1:12:34.880 healthcare system, our culture in general were pretty much focus 1:12:35.000 --> 1:12:37.880 on treating symptoms and not prevention, and that is a 1:12:38.200 --> 1:12:39.960 I think that's a big problem for us, but that's 1:12:40.000 --> 1:12:42.360 how we think, that's how we're programmed. He is doctor 1:12:42.400 --> 1:12:45.720 Michael Zias. He's an internist and regenitive medicine specialist. And 1:12:45.760 --> 1:12:47.320 there are three or four big things you need to 1:12:47.400 --> 1:12:48.960 know if you want to slow your aging down a 1:12:49.000 --> 1:12:51.599 little bit. Not as important, probably not fill it your 1:12:51.600 --> 1:12:53.880 twenties or thirties, but the time you hit that forty 1:12:54.080 --> 1:12:57.439 year old mark on your old odometer, you start thinking, man, 1:12:57.640 --> 1:13:00.280 things are getting sore, I'm getting tired fast and all 1:13:00.320 --> 1:13:03.240 that stuff as well. And the solution may be something 1:13:03.280 --> 1:13:05.240 you can do yourself. Doctor Z's welcome to the show. 1:13:05.280 --> 1:13:08.040 How are you? Good morning? Thank you so much, for 1:13:08.160 --> 1:13:08.919 having me Scott. 1:13:08.960 --> 1:13:11.160 Yeah, would you agree on that too. 1:13:11.240 --> 1:13:15.280 As we tend to treat symptoms and diagnosies and go, okay, 1:13:15.320 --> 1:13:17.280 well we have a medicine for this, but instead of 1:13:17.439 --> 1:13:20.320 instead of fixing what's ailing you, we just kind of 1:13:20.360 --> 1:13:22.400 prop things up and mask over the signs. 1:13:23.680 --> 1:13:24.599 That is totally true. 1:13:24.680 --> 1:13:28.120 We tend to accept getting older as something that we 1:13:28.200 --> 1:13:31.080 need to take for granted, and it's normal to get older. 1:13:31.160 --> 1:13:33.160 But if we treat aging as a disease, which is 1:13:33.200 --> 1:13:35.240 a new concept in medicine, we can age in a 1:13:35.320 --> 1:13:39.400 totally different way and prevent chronic age raated diseases from 1:13:39.520 --> 1:13:42.160 happening in the first place. And that's what I talk 1:13:42.200 --> 1:13:43.439 about in my books. 1:13:44.640 --> 1:13:45.519 Let's go through that too. 1:13:45.600 --> 1:13:47.719 And it's something I do a few of these things already, 1:13:48.479 --> 1:13:50.439 and I've said this is a year I'm going to 1:13:50.479 --> 1:13:52.479 get more much more serious about it. I think as 1:13:52.520 --> 1:13:54.439 I get closer and closer to the big six tozero, 1:13:55.200 --> 1:13:56.880 farther away from the big five oh and closer to 1:13:56.920 --> 1:13:57.439 the six to oh. 1:13:57.680 --> 1:13:59.240 And I do and it works for me. 1:13:59.280 --> 1:14:03.120 I do internet efe And also I'll probably last meal 1:14:03.120 --> 1:14:06.120 I'll have is I don't know, maybe anywhere between five 1:14:06.280 --> 1:14:10.280 and seven o'clock and won't eat until after twelve o'clock 1:14:10.360 --> 1:14:12.880 the next day. And for those of my god, how 1:14:12.920 --> 1:14:14.680 are you doing that? I think it's easier as you 1:14:14.720 --> 1:14:17.639 get older because your body needs less calories to function. 1:14:17.840 --> 1:14:20.479 So let's talk about intermittent fasting and why that is 1:14:20.560 --> 1:14:21.120 so good for you. 1:14:22.479 --> 1:14:24.479 All right, So, one of the whole marks of aging 1:14:24.600 --> 1:14:26.800 is we have young cells in our bodies and we 1:14:26.920 --> 1:14:29.320 have old cells in our bodies. And the old cells 1:14:29.479 --> 1:14:31.920 not only do not function our bodies, but they also 1:14:32.040 --> 1:14:34.320 discrupt the young cells. And that's one of the reasons 1:14:34.360 --> 1:14:37.160 why we get older. And by doing what you're doing 1:14:37.240 --> 1:14:40.960 intermittent fasting or not eating for a period of time, you're. 1:14:40.800 --> 1:14:42.360 Getting rid of the old cells. 1:14:42.600 --> 1:14:45.040 So the body is like screaming, is like what's happening 1:14:45.160 --> 1:14:47.400 is that person's starving, So the body starts to eat 1:14:47.439 --> 1:14:51.200 the dead cells, the cancer cells. And how intermittent fasting 1:14:51.320 --> 1:14:54.880 work in longevity. I'm not a fan of prolong fasting 1:14:54.920 --> 1:14:57.280 where you don't eat for several days, because you can 1:14:57.360 --> 1:14:59.920 lose muscle masks if you skip a meal or eating 1:15:00.120 --> 1:15:03.040 between just eight hour period. That's great as long as 1:15:03.080 --> 1:15:07.600 you're eating the balanced diet, which in protein and antioxins 1:15:07.640 --> 1:15:10.240 and vitamins. You get rid of the old cell desin 1:15:10.360 --> 1:15:13.160 essm cells and one way to prolonged life. And that 1:15:13.320 --> 1:15:16.679 has been proven to prolonged life in many animal studies, 1:15:17.040 --> 1:15:19.880 even monkeys, so probably will do the same in humans 1:15:19.920 --> 1:15:20.280 as well. 1:15:21.360 --> 1:15:22.680 Yeah, autophogy is what it's called. 1:15:22.720 --> 1:15:25.160 So basically as I understood it, and the simple way 1:15:25.240 --> 1:15:27.559 to explain this is like your body is always looking 1:15:27.600 --> 1:15:29.599 for something to do. Your body is very, very busy, 1:15:29.720 --> 1:15:31.519 even though you may be sleeping or whatever, it's looking 1:15:31.560 --> 1:15:33.719 for stuff to do. And if it's not busy digesting 1:15:33.800 --> 1:15:35.240 food and try and figure out, you know, where to 1:15:35.320 --> 1:15:38.519 send all the things here. It does housekeeping. It basically 1:15:38.560 --> 1:15:40.360 cleans house and that is cleaning up all the old 1:15:40.439 --> 1:15:43.160 dead cells. Some of those could promote things like cancer 1:15:43.200 --> 1:15:43.919 and other illnesses. 1:15:45.080 --> 1:15:46.000 That is totally true. 1:15:46.080 --> 1:15:47.640 And you know in the Middle East the rates of 1:15:47.760 --> 1:15:50.719 cancer are eighty five percent lower than the United States 1:15:51.000 --> 1:15:54.120 and Europe. And that's because of the intermittent fast thing 1:15:54.200 --> 1:15:58.080 they do during the religious holiday of Ramadant. So even 1:15:58.120 --> 1:16:01.439 though they eat massive amounts of sugar in eight hour period, 1:16:01.760 --> 1:16:05.639 that period of its kind of intermittent fasting, it's promotes 1:16:05.680 --> 1:16:08.920 authology and it kills the sentis themselves. So that's something 1:16:08.960 --> 1:16:11.000 we can learn from different countries around the world. That 1:16:11.120 --> 1:16:12.599 that's what I share in the book. 1:16:12.920 --> 1:16:14.920 Yeah, if you can eat one big meal a day, 1:16:16.080 --> 1:16:17.920 you can pretty much eat, you know, with a restriction. 1:16:18.040 --> 1:16:20.040 You can't go at an entire trail asagn you or 1:16:20.360 --> 1:16:23.280 you know, three large pizzas, but you can eat your 1:16:23.320 --> 1:16:26.479 food and be full and still being a calorie deficit. 1:16:26.600 --> 1:16:30.240 So it also helps to lose weight, right, you. 1:16:30.240 --> 1:16:32.519 Know, you're talking like Brian Johnson who's pretty much just 1:16:32.600 --> 1:16:35.640 eating on one meal a day. That's very tough, but 1:16:35.840 --> 1:16:38.560 that probably has the most impact on longevity. But I 1:16:38.600 --> 1:16:42.200 would say we have to enjoy life. I'm not a 1:16:42.280 --> 1:16:44.400 fan of just not eating for a long time. But 1:16:44.520 --> 1:16:47.360 what you're doing is totally good because just eating an 1:16:47.360 --> 1:16:50.800 eight hour period is doable, is manageable. You're not the 1:16:50.880 --> 1:16:53.320 proving yourself and you're probably going to get the same benefits. 1:16:53.560 --> 1:16:53.720 Yeah. 1:16:53.800 --> 1:16:55.320 Now if you're busy too, if I'm doing you know, 1:16:55.640 --> 1:16:57.800 a construction type of stuf, might have a bigger lunch 1:16:57.840 --> 1:17:00.040 and a decent sized dinner. But if I'm not, and 1:17:00.160 --> 1:17:01.360 it just you know, you gotta listen to your body 1:17:01.400 --> 1:17:04.040 and not stuff yourself all the time. And that's easier 1:17:04.080 --> 1:17:06.160 said that done, because food is so damn good. So 1:17:06.280 --> 1:17:09.240 intermatnfastening one thing you could do to slow down aging. 1:17:10.000 --> 1:17:13.160 Let's talk about processed foods and anti inflammatories and stuff 1:17:13.200 --> 1:17:15.000 like that. And the thing is, as you get older, 1:17:15.400 --> 1:17:18.000 you notice your body is so much more inflamed. What 1:17:18.160 --> 1:17:20.400 is your body telling you if you suffer from inflammation. 1:17:21.760 --> 1:17:23.880 So what happens is the old selves we have in 1:17:24.000 --> 1:17:26.800 our bodies are also not just not functioning, but they 1:17:26.880 --> 1:17:32.240 also are secreting inflammatory proteins. And that's how aging happens. 1:17:32.360 --> 1:17:34.840 And before you know it, you get wrinkled skin, you 1:17:34.920 --> 1:17:37.680 can get joint issues, you can get stomach issues, you 1:17:37.720 --> 1:17:40.720 can get weight gain, and that's inflammation. And one way 1:17:40.800 --> 1:17:45.559 to control aging is control inflammation by again intermittent fasting, 1:17:45.640 --> 1:17:49.920 but by also eating a balanced diet, which an empty oxidant, viatamins, 1:17:50.000 --> 1:17:53.920 mineral superfoods. People have to lose weight because belly fat 1:17:54.040 --> 1:17:54.959 is linked to inflammation. 1:17:55.120 --> 1:17:56.080 When we have so much. 1:17:56.240 --> 1:18:00.800 Fat around our bealues, that's secrete also inflammatory markers which 1:18:00.840 --> 1:18:02.160 are very bad for ourselves. 1:18:02.320 --> 1:18:05.120 So you have to control inflammation if you want to 1:18:05.160 --> 1:18:06.360 age in a good way. 1:18:07.280 --> 1:18:09.320 One thing, my wife did this not long ago because 1:18:09.360 --> 1:18:12.320 she was having just not feeling well and she went 1:18:12.439 --> 1:18:15.800 someone recommended a I forget what the name of it is, 1:18:15.920 --> 1:18:18.880 but basically as a diet tissue who focuses on that, 1:18:19.000 --> 1:18:20.519 and did a whole bunch of tests and found out 1:18:20.560 --> 1:18:23.479 that she had a gluten sensitivity and so things like 1:18:23.520 --> 1:18:26.439 gluten also eggs, mushrooms, like weird stuff she could eat 1:18:26.479 --> 1:18:28.320 and she's taken those things out of her die largely 1:18:28.320 --> 1:18:29.400 and feels so much better. 1:18:31.120 --> 1:18:31.240 Well. 1:18:31.320 --> 1:18:33.680 Food allergies, of course, if you have food allergies, that 1:18:33.760 --> 1:18:35.840 can also cause inflammation, so that's a good way to 1:18:35.920 --> 1:18:37.880 get tested. You can do a skin test, you can. 1:18:37.800 --> 1:18:38.400 Do a blood test. 1:18:38.479 --> 1:18:40.720 That's your doctor's office to make sure to avoid the 1:18:40.800 --> 1:18:44.000 topes of food that you're intolerant to. Gluten intolerance is 1:18:44.080 --> 1:18:46.080 very rare. It's only one in two hundred people who 1:18:46.120 --> 1:18:48.560 have it. But if you have gluten intolerance, if you 1:18:48.600 --> 1:18:51.560 have civic disease, definitely have to avoid grains because that 1:18:51.600 --> 1:18:54.920 can cause it inflammation and just being on top of 1:18:54.960 --> 1:18:57.519 the house. We have a habit in the United States 1:18:57.560 --> 1:18:59.160 and we get a physical just once a year, and 1:18:59.240 --> 1:19:01.000 we think we're going to in a different way and 1:19:01.040 --> 1:19:02.880 then we go on top of our health. But really 1:19:02.960 --> 1:19:06.000 we have to think differently. We have to treat aging activities. 1:19:06.080 --> 1:19:08.320 We have to take a proactive approach. We have to 1:19:08.400 --> 1:19:10.680 know our food allergies, we have to know if there's inflammation. 1:19:11.080 --> 1:19:13.400 We have to be in a good way. We have 1:19:13.560 --> 1:19:18.240 to control aging, buy supplements, medications and so on. 1:19:19.280 --> 1:19:22.200 Yeah, and again, as sactor Michael is Easy's an internest 1:19:22.280 --> 1:19:25.400 regenitive medicine specialists in his books The AGEUS Revolution, and 1:19:25.439 --> 1:19:27.240 the question is how do you slow down age? Can't 1:19:27.280 --> 1:19:29.400 stop it obviously, but you can help yourself as you 1:19:29.439 --> 1:19:32.120 get older through things like intermittent fasting. We're talking about 1:19:32.120 --> 1:19:35.559 proving processed foods from your diet and can you not eat? 1:19:36.200 --> 1:19:38.280 You know, are you so strict that you shouldn't need 1:19:38.360 --> 1:19:39.800 any of this stuff? I mean, who doesn't like a 1:19:39.840 --> 1:19:41.479 good cheeseburger once in a while, or I mentioned a 1:19:41.560 --> 1:19:44.400 pizza or something like that. You have to sustain yourself 1:19:44.520 --> 1:19:46.639 completely on whole grains. Could you work in a cheap 1:19:46.720 --> 1:19:47.160 day or two? 1:19:47.200 --> 1:19:47.360 There? 1:19:47.400 --> 1:19:47.960 How's that work? 1:19:49.479 --> 1:19:52.240 The problem in the American diet fifty percent of our 1:19:52.320 --> 1:19:54.720 diet now is process and that's bad when we eat 1:19:54.800 --> 1:19:59.840 process food. We fine carbohydrate pizza, doughnut, sugar that promote aging, 1:20:00.080 --> 1:20:02.960 and we have to lower the amount of processed food 1:20:03.040 --> 1:20:05.639 we eat. I don't think we can eliminate it totally. 1:20:05.920 --> 1:20:08.120 I think if we go down to ten percent, maybe 1:20:08.520 --> 1:20:11.360 so having it, you know, a pizza once in a while, 1:20:11.520 --> 1:20:13.560 then cross whole weeks with a lot of vegetables. 1:20:13.840 --> 1:20:14.599 That's a good way. 1:20:14.720 --> 1:20:18.080 And if you're eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidens, 1:20:18.160 --> 1:20:23.320 vitamins and minerals, and you're exercising, you can probably counter 1:20:23.439 --> 1:20:26.440 effect the effect of process food that you're eating on occasions. 1:20:26.720 --> 1:20:29.479 Yeah, Gut health is another one too that we don't 1:20:29.520 --> 1:20:32.200 pay attention to. Years ago, as in the hospital, got 1:20:32.240 --> 1:20:34.600 seediff and had to you know, eat a lot of 1:20:34.680 --> 1:20:37.800 yogurt and khir and things like that, and you kind 1:20:37.800 --> 1:20:39.280 of notice you feel a little bit better when you 1:20:39.400 --> 1:20:41.400 have those enzymes in your gut. 1:20:43.000 --> 1:20:44.880 Yes, So gut health is one of the whole marks 1:20:44.920 --> 1:20:47.000 of aging that I talk about in my book. And 1:20:47.120 --> 1:20:49.400 I talked in my book also about the countries that 1:20:49.520 --> 1:20:53.280 have the longest lifespan and the blue zones where many 1:20:54.040 --> 1:20:56.960 of them live to one hundred and many of those 1:20:57.080 --> 1:20:59.920 countries they eat a diet that is rich in probiotically 1:21:00.040 --> 1:21:03.960 eat fermented food. Even countries not like the Blue zones, 1:21:04.000 --> 1:21:06.160 like South Korea, they eat kinschi. The women in South 1:21:06.240 --> 1:21:07.519 Korea are going to be the first to lift the 1:21:07.520 --> 1:21:10.920 age ninety. And the reason got so important because in 1:21:11.040 --> 1:21:13.760 our gut list trillions of bacteria. We have more god 1:21:13.840 --> 1:21:18.600 bacteria than thousand our bodies. And those bacteria promote longevity 1:21:18.720 --> 1:21:22.000 by doing vitamin K two, which prevents heart attack. They 1:21:22.080 --> 1:21:25.479 make a product called eulessine which supplies the mitochondria. The 1:21:25.520 --> 1:21:29.520 mitochondria are the batteries ourselves. And if we have bad bacteria, 1:21:29.600 --> 1:21:32.160 then we have back to inflammation what we just talked about. 1:21:32.640 --> 1:21:35.160 And believe it or not, Scott, we have a big problem. 1:21:35.200 --> 1:21:37.360 We're eating a lot of processed foods. We're not eating 1:21:37.400 --> 1:21:40.639 fermented foods, We're not eating enough yogurt, and that's why 1:21:40.960 --> 1:21:44.960 got is very poor. And we have now an epidemic 1:21:45.080 --> 1:21:48.400 of colon cancer in men below age fifty. And again 1:21:48.439 --> 1:21:51.240 it has to do with inflammation. So colling cancer's number 1:21:51.280 --> 1:21:54.240 one cancer now in men below age fifty. It has 1:21:54.240 --> 1:21:56.439 to do with our poor gut health. How much does 1:21:56.439 --> 1:21:59.160 it has to do with genetics. You've mentioned people that 1:21:59.240 --> 1:22:01.120 live to one hundred in the super agers, but that 1:22:01.400 --> 1:22:03.200 seems more genetic than lifestyle. 1:22:03.800 --> 1:22:04.000 Wrong. 1:22:04.200 --> 1:22:06.400 According to the research I've done for the book, I 1:22:06.520 --> 1:22:09.280 believe seventy percent of our longevity is related to the 1:22:09.400 --> 1:22:16.040 things we do diet, stress management, addequate sleep, exercise, only 1:22:16.120 --> 1:22:18.680 thirty percent genetics play a role. And that's why we 1:22:18.760 --> 1:22:21.519 can control our genetic destiny by doing all the good 1:22:21.560 --> 1:22:24.080 things that we can control, or at least we try. 1:22:24.520 --> 1:22:26.599 Yeah, yeah, I mean genetics do go a long way. 1:22:26.680 --> 1:22:29.160 That's why you see people who you know, eat like 1:22:29.280 --> 1:22:32.160 crap for years and years they live into their eighties. 1:22:32.200 --> 1:22:34.120 But you know, you look around your average nursing home, 1:22:34.160 --> 1:22:36.439 you don't see many too many obese people at nursing homes. 1:22:39.000 --> 1:22:39.200 Yeah. 1:22:39.240 --> 1:22:41.639 I talked in my book that the longest person living 1:22:41.840 --> 1:22:44.919 in the world was a French woman and she smoked. 1:22:44.960 --> 1:22:45.800 So yeah, you're right. 1:22:46.080 --> 1:22:48.880 It's like really has to do with with luck. But 1:22:49.000 --> 1:22:51.120 I think we all have to try to do our 1:22:51.280 --> 1:22:55.799 very best, not only to eat a good a good diet, 1:22:55.920 --> 1:22:58.360 a balanced die think way from fat diet, low fat 1:22:58.400 --> 1:23:00.919 diet with access sugar, low cop is all the chemicals 1:23:01.000 --> 1:23:03.200 night tried. I'm right now the country is moving in 1:23:03.240 --> 1:23:06.599 the right direction by limiting all the chemicals in our 1:23:06.720 --> 1:23:10.800 processed food. So I'm glad that. But just that's one 1:23:10.880 --> 1:23:13.400 of the steps to control aging. There's many things to 1:23:13.479 --> 1:23:18.720 do to control aging again, express management, adequate sleep, supplementation, 1:23:18.920 --> 1:23:22.439 and medications. Now there are medications to control aging that 1:23:22.560 --> 1:23:24.560 the doctors are not aware of, and that's why I 1:23:24.640 --> 1:23:27.479 want to educate the public about that. We can, you know, 1:23:27.640 --> 1:23:30.520 age in a completely different way with all the advances. 1:23:30.080 --> 1:23:30.879 We have in medicine. 1:23:31.040 --> 1:23:32.600 One of the things I hear, I mean, there's you 1:23:32.680 --> 1:23:34.240 know omega threes and. 1:23:36.040 --> 1:23:36.439 You take that. 1:23:36.880 --> 1:23:39.200 I do take vitamin D. My vitamin D lovels are perfect. 1:23:39.360 --> 1:23:40.559 I take I take supplements. 1:23:41.200 --> 1:23:44.240 Okay, so fish oil is very important. Fish oil one 1:23:44.280 --> 1:23:47.080 grammar day can give you four years of longevity. That's amazing. 1:23:47.160 --> 1:23:49.320 And many of us are not taking fish oil or 1:23:49.400 --> 1:23:51.360 we know it's good for us, but we exact to 1:23:51.439 --> 1:23:53.519 take it. But if we're consistent, we can have an 1:23:53.520 --> 1:23:56.280 extra years of longevity just by taking fish oil. 1:23:56.560 --> 1:23:56.840 I heard. 1:23:56.840 --> 1:23:58.599 The big one too is vitamin D. We don't get 1:23:58.640 --> 1:24:00.760 a vitamin D. That's that when comes of cancers and 1:24:00.800 --> 1:24:01.160 things like that. 1:24:02.200 --> 1:24:05.840 Yes, absolutely, so believe in not Scott. Vitamin D is 1:24:05.920 --> 1:24:09.200 so important not only for longevity but also for presenttion 1:24:09.360 --> 1:24:12.400 of COVID. We had a very high rate of mortality 1:24:12.680 --> 1:24:14.960 in the United States from COVID. And if you take 1:24:15.000 --> 1:24:16.840 a look at I live in New York, if you 1:24:16.880 --> 1:24:19.559 take a look at Florida, they had less mortality from 1:24:19.640 --> 1:24:22.000 COVID than we did here in New York in the Northeast. 1:24:22.040 --> 1:24:24.679 Because vitamin D is mostly from the sun. So vitamin 1:24:24.760 --> 1:24:26.680 D not only plays a role in longevity, but it's 1:24:26.720 --> 1:24:29.720 also the immune system prevention of COVID and so on. 1:24:31.280 --> 1:24:31.880 Yeah, so our. 1:24:31.880 --> 1:24:34.200 Mortaliti rate was ten time times in Japan and South 1:24:34.280 --> 1:24:36.919 Korea from COVID and that was really motivated what motivated 1:24:37.000 --> 1:24:40.280 me to write The Age's Revolution because right now aging 1:24:40.360 --> 1:24:42.320 is happening in young people. You don't have to be 1:24:42.400 --> 1:24:44.679 old to be you can be in America, you geld 1:24:44.840 --> 1:24:47.760 young and old in the same time because of the 1:24:47.840 --> 1:24:49.000 lifestyle choices we make. 1:24:49.479 --> 1:24:51.080 One of the big components of people hate hearing this 1:24:51.240 --> 1:24:54.639 is exercise, a little resistance training, you know, bands, free weight, 1:24:54.720 --> 1:24:57.120 stuff like that. But you know some of these are 1:24:57.120 --> 1:24:58.840 like wow, you need to work out for sixty minutes 1:24:58.880 --> 1:25:01.120 a day, seven days a week or five days a 1:25:01.200 --> 1:25:03.439 week or whatever, and especially as you get older, that's 1:25:03.520 --> 1:25:05.080 really really tough to do, and it's tough to do 1:25:05.160 --> 1:25:07.160 with your schedule. So how much is enough when it 1:25:07.240 --> 1:25:09.439 comes to exercise, i'llbeit just you go and walk on 1:25:09.520 --> 1:25:11.840 the dog or walk around the block or something like that. 1:25:13.160 --> 1:25:15.600 I think any type of exercise you do, regardless of 1:25:15.760 --> 1:25:18.040 the amount of time you do, is good for you. 1:25:18.280 --> 1:25:22.559 Aerobic and aerobic, but definitely high intensity interval training has 1:25:22.600 --> 1:25:24.200 the most impact on longevity. 1:25:24.240 --> 1:25:24.760 Believe it or not. 1:25:25.000 --> 1:25:27.840 It can add ten years to our lives. But that's 1:25:27.920 --> 1:25:31.280 a very tough type of exercise to do. So I 1:25:31.439 --> 1:25:36.040 also recommend balance, you know, walking, running, doing a little 1:25:36.040 --> 1:25:38.240 bit of streadmills, lifting weight as we get older, so 1:25:38.360 --> 1:25:40.200 don't lose muscle mass. And if you're in good health, 1:25:40.240 --> 1:25:41.720 then you could do hit. 1:25:41.880 --> 1:25:44.000 That's fine. Do it, that's good, that's great. 1:25:44.000 --> 1:25:45.519 To start to wear the joints down, and you got 1:25:45.600 --> 1:25:47.080 to segue into something else. That's all. 1:25:48.120 --> 1:25:49.439 If you doctor is easy. 1:25:49.680 --> 1:25:52.120 If you eat like crap, like in your forties, fifties, 1:25:52.160 --> 1:25:54.280 maybe your sixties as well, can you still reverse all 1:25:54.360 --> 1:25:56.240 this stuff or at least slow time. 1:25:56.360 --> 1:25:57.439 I do think so. 1:25:57.680 --> 1:26:00.360 I think the body has the ability to reset and 1:26:00.520 --> 1:26:03.160 to reboot. And the body, you know, so many people 1:26:03.280 --> 1:26:06.000 are overweight, so many people are diabetics. But if they 1:26:07.160 --> 1:26:10.040 follow a balanced diet of they exercise, they can reverse that. 1:26:10.280 --> 1:26:13.200 And there are supplements and medication that can help them. 1:26:13.280 --> 1:26:16.000 So wait, now, look at the GLP for example, GLP 1:26:16.160 --> 1:26:18.760 drugs and making everybody stand. Now, everybody's taking them, and 1:26:18.840 --> 1:26:23.560 they're reversing diabetes, they're reversing obesity, they're reversing inflammation. You 1:26:23.640 --> 1:26:26.080 can use muscle mass if you don't change your eating 1:26:26.160 --> 1:26:28.240 habits and you're eating, you know, a lot of crap 1:26:28.320 --> 1:26:31.400 instead of proteins and a good diet. But they have 1:26:31.600 --> 1:26:33.240 changed the way we control our weight. 1:26:33.600 --> 1:26:35.800 Where are you on testosterone supplements. 1:26:37.400 --> 1:26:40.920 I'm very big, big proponent of TRT as we get older, 1:26:41.520 --> 1:26:46.040 because the stostrun is declining all over the United States, 1:26:46.160 --> 1:26:48.839 especially in young people. Again, it has to do with stress, 1:26:49.000 --> 1:26:51.080 has to do with low vitamin D, has to do 1:26:51.200 --> 1:26:54.200 with don't enough eat seafood with zinc. And as the 1:26:54.280 --> 1:26:57.200 starstrum goes down, man, we start to feel tired, we 1:26:57.320 --> 1:27:00.960 start to get belly fat we start to get and 1:27:01.080 --> 1:27:05.360 the biggest problem with declining dystostroon is it shortens our life. 1:27:05.479 --> 1:27:07.840 And the problem is doctors don routinely checked with the 1:27:07.880 --> 1:27:11.160 stostrom and if they do check with the stostron, they 1:27:11.200 --> 1:27:12.880 don't do anything about it, or they may tell you 1:27:13.000 --> 1:27:14.840 they compare you to any eighty year old. They know 1:27:14.960 --> 1:27:17.320 your distostrum is normal and the fact this distostrum is 1:27:17.439 --> 1:27:19.800 very low because you want to always be compared to 1:27:19.920 --> 1:27:20.920 the younger person. 1:27:20.720 --> 1:27:22.280 You could be.
