1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,760 Speaker 1: Do you want to be an American? 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 2: Do you know how hard is to say this is 3 00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 2: one of the most bizarre stories we've ever seen in Cincinnati. 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 3: You know how hard that is in the city of ours. 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 2: Welcome to its Scott Sloan back on seven hundred W GOL, 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 2: the man beaten down twenty had beaten twenty eight times 7 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 2: last summer, who is also facing criminal charges, is supposed 8 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 2: to have his day in court today. That would be 9 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 2: Alex Tchravinsky, his trial charged with disorderly conduct after what 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 2: happened in July. Back on fourth and ALM. It's been 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: delayed and delayed and delayed again and after a last 12 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 2: minute continuance, but today allegedly is the day. Today is 13 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 2: the day he will be in court and on that 14 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: as attorney Steve Gooden on the show on seven hundred 15 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 2: WLW Steve, welcome, how are you look? 16 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: Good morning, fantastic? 17 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 3: This is gonna happen today. 18 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 2: I just feel like something is They're gonna go well, 19 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: we need more time, right because last time in this 20 00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: really odd case, the prosecution's key witness face to appear. 21 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 2: He said he or she said, there's fear for safety 22 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: there after misinformation, Len and believe he'd be identified as 23 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 2: an FBI informant, and they got a continuance on that, 24 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 2: and I judge said, okay, this is the last one. 25 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: But how does misinformation the prosecution failed to manage become 26 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,279 Speaker 2: grounds to delay a defendant who is ready for trial. 27 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, look, this is probably the most litigated 28 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 4: misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge in American history, so nothing would 29 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,960 Speaker 4: surprise me. But I do know you know this judge 30 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 4: a bit, and I think he's going to put his 31 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 4: foot down today and make. 32 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: The trial go forward. 33 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 4: Also, I would note it is a very rare instance 34 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 4: in which is going to be a jury trial for 35 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 4: misdemeanor disorderly conduct. It's kind of a rare instance where 36 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 4: that's even allowed. So I presumably the jury commissioner has 37 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 4: brought in perspective jurors, and I think that is typically 38 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 4: a factor for a judge when he grants a continuance, 39 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 4: if the jurors are really ready to go, doesn't want 40 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 4: to inconvenience them. So I would bet that today is 41 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 4: finally the day for the most litigated, disportless kind. 42 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: Of strategy perhaps in the history of the Republic. 43 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: We've had a lot of We've had a lot of 44 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: bizarre cases come through Cincinnata. There's always some if something 45 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: bizarre is going on, there's always a tie to Cincinnati, 46 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 2: and often we have crazy stuff happening here. But this 47 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 2: is uh, this has got to be at the top 48 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 2: of that list. All right, So final continuance. But do 49 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: we even know are they going to produce this this 50 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: mystery witness and what happens the case if they don't. 51 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 4: Well, if they don't, I mean, they presumably have other witnesses. 52 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: So I mean it's just really kind of a sad. 53 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 4: Commentary on the state of the city that, of course, 54 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 4: if you have a street brawl in Cincinnati, either may 55 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 4: be may or may not be an FBI. And for 56 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 4: him at just standing around in the crowd, uh, you know, 57 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 4: whether he was an afoormant or not. I think I 58 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 4: think they concluded he was not, but but some thought 59 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 4: he was. So I mean, you know, even that that 60 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 4: adds another level of uh bizarreness and uh, you know, 61 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 4: flexity to the whole thing. But presumably they have other witnesses. 62 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 4: I mean, what they've got to show here is kind 63 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,119 Speaker 4: of weird. So disorderly conduct in this case is defined 64 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 4: and I quote by engaging in fighting or threatening harm, 65 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 4: by making unreasonable noises or using offensively coarse language or gestures. 66 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 4: And in order to get the more serious form of 67 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 4: it that actually carries jail time, I mean, typically it's 68 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 4: just a payout ticket. You have to show that there 69 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 4: was persistent conduct. 70 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: You know, that way. So that's what they've got a show. 71 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 4: So they're going to need to put on quite a 72 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 4: few witnesses, and I'm assuming they're going to try to 73 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 4: authenticate and play this video. I guess there's video from 74 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 4: multiple different angles, security cameras, celf phoned stuff, social media, 75 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 4: things of that nature. So you know, certainly they're going 76 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 4: to be able to at least put on a basic 77 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 4: case with the video alone. Now that said, his lawyers 78 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 4: said he's going to argue self defense, you know, because 79 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 4: he says he has been he was struck at least 80 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 4: twenty eight times and allegedly had some cognitive issues right afterwards. 81 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 4: And I guess he did give some statements to the police, 82 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,119 Speaker 4: but he's going to argue I think that those statements 83 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 4: were affected by being hit in the head repeatedly. And 84 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 4: also I'm assuming his lawyer is going to go here. 85 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 4: If I were his lawyer, I'd be going very heavily 86 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 4: into the decision to charge mister Travinsky because he is 87 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 4: listed as a victim and witness in multiple felony cases 88 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 4: from the other individuals who struck he and this lady 89 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 4: known as Holly, who was knocked unconscious and beaten very badly. 90 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 4: So he is both a victim and now a very 91 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 4: and a witness and now a defendant. And he was 92 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 4: only charged many, many many months later after there have 93 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 4: been press conferences and so forth, and prothlague game in 94 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 4: Lynch and some leaders in the black community. You thought 95 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 4: that he needed to be charged based upon seeing the videos. 96 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 4: So there is some stink on the case from that 97 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 4: point of view as to whether or not he was capegoated. 98 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 4: So I think you've got a lot for this jury 99 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 4: to consider. I feel sorry for this jury because they 100 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 4: probably got him paneled their dead at the courthouse, thinking 101 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 4: my god, we may have a homicide trial or some 102 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 4: serious case involving a you know, a large lawsuit. This 103 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 4: is going to be fascinating, and instead they're going to 104 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 4: be dissecting a street brawl from different different angles for 105 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 4: three or four days. 106 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: So God bless them. 107 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: There the two detectives who spent literally one hundreds of 108 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: hours on game, they wouldn't sign the charges against Alex Ttravinsky. 109 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: They were threatened, I guess with the motion, and the captain, who, 110 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 2: by the way, is now the interim police chief, Adam Henney, 111 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: signed it to protect his office. What's that tell you 112 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: about the strength of the case when the investigators won't 113 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: put their names on. 114 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 4: Well, you know, it's I mean, I think it's pretty 115 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 4: obvious it's not the best case in the world. I 116 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 4: mean that being said, you know, it is a jury trial, 117 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 4: so you know, anything can happen in a jury trial. 118 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 4: As we always say, it's not like, you know, jurors 119 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 4: can have a different view of what the community standard 120 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 4: should be for a case like this, So you just 121 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 4: you never know. And there is a question as to 122 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 4: how much the judge is going to let the attorneys 123 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 4: get into that kind of background about how it was charged, 124 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 4: and how much the jurors are. 125 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: Going to know. 126 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 4: Folks like you and I are pretty plugged into this. 127 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 4: The average citizen in Hamilton County may not recall that 128 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 4: level of detail. 129 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: And if the. 130 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 4: Judge rules that are truly not relevant to whether or 131 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 4: not the crime was committed. He may keep some of 132 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 4: that information from the jurors, so we don't know what 133 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 4: they will actually know. But if they hear that, it's 134 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 4: going to really hurt the case. And surely they're going 135 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 4: to be allowed to know that he was assaulted, that 136 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 4: he got the worst of this and it's bad. 137 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: Now. 138 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 4: Now, if I'm Alex Jrminsky's lawyer, the biggest thing I 139 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 4: would worry about is this. It's what I would call 140 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 4: the Victoria Parks factor. I mean, she did say she 141 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 4: was a former city council member who famously said that 142 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 4: these quote deserve to get be down. There are people 143 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 4: who may look at this and think, you know, nobody 144 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 4: here covered themselves and glory. 145 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: They were all out. 146 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,239 Speaker 4: Drinking at two three in the morning in the middle 147 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 4: of this thing, and there are there was a school 148 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 4: thought that hey, you know he was down there mixed 149 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 4: up in this in one way or another, and you know, 150 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 4: and a pox on all their houses and everyone's guilty 151 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 4: of something. I mean, there are people who would look 152 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 4: at it that way. So you know, again we're well 153 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 4: afield of the law. It's really hard to apply the 154 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 4: law and these kind of misdemeanor decisions because are kinds 155 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 4: of cases because you know, engaging and fighting. 156 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's you know, it's the language is both. 157 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 4: It seems very specific, but actually when you think about it, 158 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 4: it's very vague. 159 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: It's the kind of. 160 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 4: Thing that goes on in these worlds all the time. 161 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 4: The jury is going to have a changeful well. 162 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 2: I think also it shows you that the echo chamber 163 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: is louder than the law in that this is exactly 164 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: like the Nicholas Sandman thing from twenty nineteen where this 165 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: young man from a cubcath is in DC on a 166 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: high school trip, confronts Nathan Phillips, the Native American man 167 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: who was protesting, and the initial reports were the he 168 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: had and this would be Nick Sandman, the student had 169 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: attacked and verbally attacked or looked down upon this Native 170 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 2: American man, and it turns out the opposite was true. 171 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 3: That he didn't walk up to him. 172 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: The Native American elder man walked up to him and 173 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 2: he just had like a staring contest, I guess, and 174 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: was smiling at him. But all those people who attacked 175 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 2: Nick Sandman then didn't retract what they said and said, hey, 176 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: you know, at first Blush it looked like he was 177 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: the aggressor, and it turns out the other man was 178 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 2: the aggressor. No one ever apologizes for these things. Same 179 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 2: thing here is that it looked like, initially from the 180 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 2: citizen video from the street videos, that it was Alex 181 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: Stravinsky as the guy who committed the assault, when it 182 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 2: turns out he was assaulted twenty eight times prior, including Holly. 183 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 2: And the end result is, well, you know, we had 184 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 2: all these people step up and say, hey, listen, you 185 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: charge everybody else weren't charging the white guy. And of 186 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 2: course when the truth came out from the state a 187 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 2: different story, no one apologized, and we've delayed this trial 188 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: now forever. And I think that's part of it as well, 189 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: because history makes your memory a little bit foggy, right, 190 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: So all those things aside this charge here that ale 191 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 2: Stravinsky was the aggressor, it turns out he was attacked. 192 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 2: That's even backed up by the state. The state's on 193 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: timeline shows that how does that charge survive the self 194 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 2: defense argument? 195 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: Well, you know it likely won't. 196 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 4: I mean, I you know, my prediction is that the 197 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 4: most I think most people are going to go look 198 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 4: at this and think, look this, I didn't deserve to 199 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 4: be this assaulted the way he was, didn't deserve to 200 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 4: have his life turned upside down with these criminal charges. 201 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 4: I do predict that they'll find them not guilty. I mean, 202 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 4: you know, the the only issue that I think they're 203 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 4: going they're gonna pound on here is as the videos 204 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 4: I have seen. Again, I caution people all the time 205 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 4: that these videos we see on Facebook and Twitter, you know, 206 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 4: are often you know, selectively posted, edited and and and 207 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 4: often don't have the full context of what happened. But 208 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 4: there is this issue of what they're calling quote end 209 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 4: quote the slap. 210 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: It does look as though that after he. 211 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 4: Was assaulted and walked away from the situation, that he 212 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 4: did re engage with one individual and slap that individual. Now, 213 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 4: whether that admits to some sort of quote persistent fighting, 214 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 4: I don't know. Prosecutors that I know very well, as 215 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 4: well as some of the police officers who looked at it, 216 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 4: said look, you know, it's it's not a serious it's nothing, 217 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 4: you know, in the context of what happened. So I 218 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 4: know a lot of very smart and experienced people looked 219 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 4: at that particular part of the video and found it 220 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 4: to be not something that would rise to the level 221 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 4: of criminal conduct, particularly in the case of a guy 222 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 4: who was the victim of a serious assault, and a 223 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 4: felony level assault at that by a large crowd. So 224 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 4: but that, I think you're going to hear a lot 225 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 4: of talk about this slap and where he looked as 226 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 4: though there was a brief moment where he was at 227 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 4: least in the clear and away from these individuals and 228 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 4: then sort of re engaged. I think that's ultimately what 229 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 4: they're going to have to hang their hat on for 230 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 4: the prosecution. It's not much, and I do think most 231 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 4: people are going to look at this fairly and say, 232 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 4: you know, there's nothing here. But again, and that said, 233 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 4: you know, there may be other you know, the live 234 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 4: witnesses are going to provide different contexts. We don't know 235 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 4: what was said between these individuals. There have been all 236 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 4: kinds of allegations and hints that racial slurs were being 237 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 4: thrown around. We don't know that for a fact. That 238 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 4: may change kind of how some folks look at this. 239 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 4: I mean, there are there's an argument that that is 240 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 4: exceptionally disorderly. We do have this kind of concept of 241 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 4: fighting words in Ohio. But also it's very interesting. I 242 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 4: do think because of our new stand your ground laws. 243 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 4: You know a lot of folks talk about those in 244 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 4: the gun context, but they also sort of apply here. 245 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 4: He doesn't really have a duty to retreat anymore. There 246 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 4: used to be this argument in Ohio law for self 247 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 4: defense that if you were under attack, you know, you 248 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 4: did have some sort of duty to retreat. 249 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: You really don't have that anymore. 250 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 4: So I do think on balance, you know, he will 251 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 4: likely be found not guilty, but you know, again who knows, 252 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 4: and there may be evidence that we're not. 253 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 5: Yeah. 254 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if he's sound that guilty, it just 255 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 2: gives more credence that the people got this wrong from 256 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 2: the initial had a big press conference about it. We'll 257 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: just say, well, it goes to show you how racially 258 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 2: biased the court system is, despite of course, this case 259 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 2: being heard by a jury of their peers, who will 260 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 2: probably see the evidence. Ago Travinsky was the victim here 261 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 2: and not the assailant. He was struck twenty eight times 262 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 2: in the head and face concussion syndrome PTSD. He owned 263 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 2: a being in that fight and thrown the punch. He's 264 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 2: a victim in this case, as well as a defendant. 265 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: How hard is that for the prosecutor to not violate 266 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 2: his constitutional rights. That's a pretty it seems to me 267 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 2: to be a pretty narrow window to negotiate this. 268 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: Well. Yeah, I mean, frankly, if the city loses this case. 269 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 4: And I think that's one of the things that's important 270 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 4: to note here that there are two different prosecutors offices 271 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 4: inning able to count because the handle the county prosecutor's 272 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 4: office that handles all felonies and some misdemeanors and surrounding areas. 273 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 4: The city still has its own small prosecutor's office that 274 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 4: only handles misdemeanors within the city limits, and they're the 275 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 4: ones bringing case. But the other prosecutor's office, hamilicuty prosecutor's office, 276 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 4: are prosecuting all the other folks involved in this fight 277 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 4: because there's charged with felonies. So there is some some 278 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 4: real tension there. It's like, you know, the city is 279 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 4: prosecuting one of the key witnesses in the counties cases. 280 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 4: So that's a that's a problem number one. Number two, 281 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 4: I would predict that if he is acquitted by this jury, 282 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 4: that he probably already has counsel lined up to look 283 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 4: at a potential malicious malicious prosecution lawsuit and or a 284 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 4: civil rights claim, basically saying, look, I was prosecuted for 285 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 4: political reasons. I really didn't have a good faith basis 286 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 4: to bring this, and the city may be in a 287 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 4: position to pay out yet. 288 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: Another multi arty about settlement asual impact. 289 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 4: It's a budget even Fritter, So is that stand? 290 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 3: Is that the next is that hard? 291 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: After this gets I don't know if I'll get dismissed, 292 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 2: but after this thing wraps up, and I think the 293 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 2: prediction is pretty good that Alex Stravinsky's going to walk, 294 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 2: and let's say that he does. He then turns around 295 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 2: to a malicious prosecution case as a civil case against 296 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: the city and civil claim outside of settlement. Though that's 297 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 2: pretty ugly. Does that implicate the mayor to some degree 298 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 2: or at least the administration, because typically the mayor will 299 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 2: isolate himself and insult himself rather with the people like 300 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 2: sure along and other underlings that'll take the bullet for him, 301 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 2: so to speak. But does that turn around to be 302 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: problematic from a civil rights violation for the mayor of 303 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 2: the City of Cincinnati, going, Hey, if it's proven that 304 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: we were able to influence the arrest and prosecution of 305 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: Alex Stravinsky, then of course that's a civil rights violation there. 306 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 2: That's a pretty serious charge against officers of the City 307 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 2: of Cincinnati, the mayor notwithstanding. 308 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you're absolutely right. I'm going to try 309 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 4: to walk a fine line here because I'm trying to 310 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 4: be your legal analyst and not a standing critic of 311 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 4: the mayor, which i am. This is the part where 312 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 4: it gets really fun. If there's a malicious prosecution claim 313 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 4: and it survives the early stages, they will have the 314 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 4: ability to subpoena the documents and take demand documents, pull 315 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 4: documents out of the city, and they'll have the ability 316 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 4: to take depositions. And if, as one presumes, the city 317 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 4: manager and or the mayor were involved in any way 318 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 4: shape or forming the decision to charge Alex Treminsky, that's 319 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 4: going to come out and that is inappropriate, I mean 320 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 4: by any standard. I mean, they're not supposed to be 321 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 4: under our charter form of government. You know, the police 322 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 4: officers are supposed to be able to work independently and 323 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 4: without political pressure. And if he can show that political pressure, 324 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 4: that is a real problem, not just in terms of 325 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 4: civil liability and monetary damages. That's a real problem politically, 326 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 4: and it's a real sign of just how things may 327 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 4: have very well, really broken down by this. And you know, 328 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 4: it sometimes can be a very minor thing like a misdemeanor. 329 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 4: This misdemeanor charge. You know, there are over I think 330 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 4: ten to fifteen thousand misdemeanors filed every year, you know, 331 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 4: in Hamilton County. But one of these, this little thing, 332 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 4: this little tiny charge, it typically doesn't carry jail time, 333 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 4: could have huge ramifications down the road if it leads 334 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 4: to a lawsuit that Chols there. 335 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: Was political involvement in this decision to. 336 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 4: Charge him, which common sense seems to indicate had to 337 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 4: be the fact case, because it's very rare for a 338 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 4: case like this to be charged many months after the fact. 339 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 2: He is attorney Steve Gooden and a formal consulman. Thanks 340 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 2: for jumping on the show this morning. I think the 341 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 2: short rate here is it probably should this should end 342 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 2: rather quickly. But then it gets really interesting if Alex 343 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 2: Stravinsky is exonerator, will find out what happens. But the 344 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 2: trial is set for today. Get some popcorn, baby, Steve 345 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 2: all the best. 346 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 3: Thanks again, Take care shot.

I'll get the very latest then we'll return 349 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: here on the show, we jump right in here. This 350 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 2: is interesting. There's a case now that is coming out 351 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 2: against Sephora and Benefit they're cosmetic companies, and that they 352 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 2: are deliberately to This is on the heels of the metaverdict, 353 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: by the way, targeting children under the age of ten 354 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 2: to get them to buy makeup. Kids under ten are 355 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: now well, girls under ten are now using makeup makeup 356 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 2: and the courts are trying to shut this down. We'll 357 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 2: get it that next on the show seven hundred wl 358 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 2: Here we go slowly on seven hundred WLW. 359 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 3: What we got going on today? Another crazy day? 360 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: Uh? 361 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 2: I think this is really interesting. Is you know we 362 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 2: always talking about kids becoming adults too soon, the adulting 363 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 2: of the kid's although at the same time we complained 364 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 2: about kids not beingcome mature enough. Like when I was 365 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: your age, I had sixteen jobs, already fought in a 366 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 2: war and I'm only twelve years old. Today it's you know, ah, well, 367 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 2: but maybe by the time you're thirty figure it out. 368 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 2: You live at home till you're thirty. But after that, 369 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 2: we gotta draw a lot, we gotta draw a light 370 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 2: in fan Uh. It's an interesting, interesting paradox. So this 371 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: is in Italy, but of course it's going to have 372 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 2: repercussions here in the state. So regulators in Italy are 373 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 2: investigating Sephora and benefit and I know Sephora, but I 374 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: don't know what benefit is. Nonetheless, they're cosmetic companies, and 375 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 2: the abligation there is that they are doing something called 376 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 2: cosmeticaurexia cosmeticourexia, which is a cross between cosmetics and anorexia. 377 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 2: So wait, eyeliner makes you thin. No, no, no, no, no, 378 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 2: they're complaining. They complain is that they are targeting children 379 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 2: in their marketing by having influencers, literally young micro influencers 380 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 2: marketing products to young people to encourage them to use cosmetics. 381 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 2: And we're talking about kids under the age of ten, 382 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 2: under the age of ten for seerms and masks and 383 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 2: anti aging creams and all this stuff. And I've always 384 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 2: push back this as the confusion that men largely have 385 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 2: about women with your fascination with shoes. Although a lot 386 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 2: of guys like you know, dunks and stuff like that. 387 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 2: So all right, guys are the shoe thing, but the 388 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: makeup thing. I don't understand why it takes four hours 389 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 2: to put megabond, Like, what are you trying to cover up? 390 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 2: People have taken a lot less time to try and 391 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 2: cover up murders they've gotten away with than to what 392 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 2: your makeup on. Don't know why it takes that long 393 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 2: and the other consideration does it actually work? So if 394 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 2: you watch daytime TV at all, you're in a data 395 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 2: with commercials for all these new state of the art 396 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 2: beauty products that are going to make you look younger 397 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 2: and make you feel younger, and it's going to delay aging. 398 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 2: And I would say if that were successful, If that 399 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 2: were successful, we wouldn't need more new products, would we. 400 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 2: They're selling you something that basically doesn't work or make 401 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 2: you feel better about yourself. What I'm all about? That's fine? 402 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 3: So I look at this and go, all right, are 403 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 3: they being over protective? 404 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 4: Here? 405 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,880 Speaker 2: Are they seeing that we've normalized ourselves and what we're 406 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: blind to to some degree? I mean, look at it 407 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: this way. Why would a nine year old an eight 408 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 2: year old want to put makeup on? Where did they 409 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 2: get that from? It's these evil companies that are pushing that. No, 410 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 2: they're seeing mom get botox or Instagram. Is it really 411 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 2: surprised at her nine year old. Is it's a four 412 00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: of buying retinal No. 413 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 3: So we are the. 414 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 2: Literally the first generation of parents, I'm talking to millennials now, 415 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 2: the first generation of parents who curated their faces for 416 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 2: public consumption and handed the kids got a front row 417 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 2: ticket to watch this whole thing. Right, you're having filters, 418 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 2: you're having injections, you're having face tuning, you're having a 419 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 2: you know, a mommy makeover as it were, getting a 420 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 2: little procedure, got your lip fillers going on. We didn't 421 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 2: normalize cosmetic alteration. We just made it an aspirational type 422 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 2: of thing. So Sephorah, the tween Sephora obsession didn't come 423 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 2: from nowhere. It came from mom and dad. Is almost 424 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 2: always the case, is how did they turn out this way? Well, 425 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 2: because we let them. They watched us and mimicked it. 426 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: But you know, the idea that a as crazy it 427 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 2: might sound outside of a Jean Benet like beauty pageant 428 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 2: contest and six years old wearing full makeup, which somebody 429 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 2: blinks and I had, I think that whole pageant thing 430 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 2: is really creepy. 431 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 3: It's just creepy. 432 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 2: You see that from time to ten it was you know, 433 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 2: John Bna back in the day, John Binney Ramsay and 434 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 2: it was honey boo boo. It goes honey booboo, and 435 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 2: you look at it and go, it's just something weird 436 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 2: about that. It's like you've got a six year old 437 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 2: that looks like she's forty two. It's just a creepy look. 438 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 2: But again, you know, whether it's that or other things 439 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: we debate in society, whether you think you're you know, 440 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 2: your son is a girl or your girl as a boy. 441 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 2: You know, it's up to the parent to navigate that. 442 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 2: And I think that's just equally just you know, it's 443 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 2: just creepy, isn't the whole makeup on a five year old? 444 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 2: But historically you could see where we are today. It's 445 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,479 Speaker 2: not like, oh my god, it's so different today than 446 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 2: it was when we were kids. Not really simply it's 447 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 2: just the newest thing. I mean, you go back to 448 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: what the nineteen twenties when you had flappers, and that 449 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 2: was literally the first big movement in America. There were many, 450 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 2: but the first big movement in modern era of feminization 451 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 2: and also women gaining autonomy and having saying how they 452 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: look and not know necessarily pretty much doing their own thing, 453 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 2: and so somewhat of a sexual revolution of nineteen twenty. 454 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 2: So you had flappers and the beauty is responts because 455 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 2: rouge and lipstick became like an identity. It was a 456 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: thing in the nineteen fifties. If you look at some 457 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 2: pictures of women in the nineteen fifties, like model types, 458 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 2: it's incredible how their waiste to hip to bust ratio 459 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 2: is insane, like Barbie, like the hourglass figure. In the 460 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: sixties and seventies, thinness was in, like the twiggy look, 461 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 2: and girls started counting calories and dieting at a very 462 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 2: very young age. In the eighties, the hair got much 463 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 2: bigger and supermodel set like an impossible genetic baseline, and 464 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 2: the two thousand surgery came along, and so changing your 465 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 2: face and your body was new and peterre like, I 466 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 2: don't think you know, God didn't make you that way 467 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 2: you need And now today it's like, wow, I'm just 468 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 2: going to go in for a little procedure here. And 469 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 2: then you factor in social media. In the twenty tenths 470 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 2: of this whole thing, and that just weaponizes all of it, 471 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 2: delivers that right to your phone, and that would influence 472 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 2: kids too, So you know millennials and now gen zers, 473 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 2: you know, the digital natives, if you will, it's really 474 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 2: nothing new to their offspring. So a nine year old 475 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 2: buying anti aging serum because the algorithm told her she 476 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 2: shouldn't be afraid of her own face it. You know, 477 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 2: it passes the sniff test right, it checks out. And 478 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 2: the direction is travel is it's always been geared towards 479 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 2: younger girls and higher standards, and Italy is just drawn 480 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 2: a line in the sand. I guess, go No, it's 481 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 2: got to stop because you can't sell beauty products anti 482 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 2: aging creams to an infant. Well from the minute you 483 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 2: come out where you have that new baby smell right 484 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,199 Speaker 2: out of the showroom, if you will, we start aging 485 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 2: now we grow, yeah we do, but it's part of 486 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 2: the aging process. So you know, we recognize eating disorders 487 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 2: as a cultural problem, complex one at that, and it 488 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 2: took decades too. I don't know if we sorted that out, 489 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 2: but I guess you don't hear about anorexia as much anymore. 490 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 2: I'm sure it occurs, but we accept it, there's streaming 491 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 2: for it, and the diet industry prayed on what women's 492 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 2: in security and impossibly high standard, manufactured standard marketing that 493 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: no one could meet, and then sold a solution to it, 494 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 2: which is why you know we see every other commercial 495 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 2: on TV is for a diet product. 496 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 3: Why is that? 497 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 2: Because every other commercial is or something that's going to 498 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,919 Speaker 2: make us fat? And so it just kind of evens 499 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 2: out right it's and this isn't like an ad on TV. 500 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 2: It's someone who looks like them and talks like them 501 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 2: and tell them they're pores are a problem at age 502 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 2: six or seven or eight or nine. 503 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 3: It's engineered peer pressure. 504 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 2: And you know there's some degree is it predatory, sure, 505 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 2: because you're paying a young influencer to influence other ten 506 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 2: year olds to buy a product that they don't need. 507 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 3: But I don't know. 508 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 2: I think there's probably probably of fifteen, sixteen, eighteen, and 509 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,920 Speaker 2: twenty year olds do the same thing. How there's probably 510 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 2: a lot of and there's certainly no shortage of fifty, 511 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: sixty and seventy year olds that subscribed to the same thing. 512 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 2: You know, we got to keep going and keep buying 513 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 2: the newest thing. I guess, so I guess the parents 514 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 2: should decide is a good Is it a good counter 515 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: argument here? Yeah, it's parents. We bear responsibility, we always do, 516 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 2: but we're inside that same warp culture. You know, if 517 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 2: mom normalizes her own face as content, I don't think 518 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 2: we're realizing that her daughter wants to do the same thing, 519 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 2: and you know they the market is going to go 520 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 2: after that, because hey, now we've got a new audience 521 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 2: of buyers and consumers of makeup and beauty products that 522 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 2: we didn't have before. It's like, you know, we're targeting 523 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 2: sixteen plus year old girls and now we can go 524 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 2: six to sixteen and other markets blowing up. So you know, 525 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 2: we spent one hundred years lower in that age which 526 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 2: girls are taught their natural appearances is inadequate. And Italy 527 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 2: just looked at a nine year old buying anti agent 528 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,919 Speaker 2: agreement said enough of this. Again, it's Italy their dynamic 529 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 2: and their version of democers as much from our. But 530 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 2: I don't know, we're still debating it, like at some 531 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 2: point are there going to be procedures You may lab 532 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 2: with this, but I think in the future you're going 533 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 2: to be looking at some cosmetic procedures done at a child, 534 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 2: well not even a child, probably in utero, right while 535 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 2: the baby is still cooking inside. Mom, it's like, yeah, 536 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: we want to add dimples, and I'm sure there's going 537 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 2: to be a lawmakers go okay, this is a bridge 538 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 2: too far and debated. Then you know you'll have this 539 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 2: procedure where a surgeon can go in and create dimples 540 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 2: on your unborn child or I don't know, some sort 541 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 2: of alted DNA altering. I mean, it's going to happen 542 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 2: at some point if it's not already. But that is 543 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 2: the natural line we you know, and this is while 544 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 2: that's what you're talking about. Didn't happen when we were kids. Yeah, 545 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 2: but if you remember, and if you're older too, I 546 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 2: would have to think that your mom and dad or 547 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 2: were particularly strict on you when it came to like 548 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 2: ear piercing. Right now, today infants are getting the ears 549 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 2: pierce but it's kind a big deal back in the day, 550 00:26:55,880 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 2: or tattoos or whatever. My wife as a couple butterfly 551 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 2: tattoos on her forearm tastefully done and it drives her 552 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 2: mom crazy. And I think you know that generation. I'm 553 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 2: talking baby boomers. I don't know if she's outraged by that. 554 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 2: That says, you know, you're destroying God gave you this 555 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 2: body and you're destroying it, to which iod counter is like, well, 556 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 2: you wear makeup and you have your ears pierced, and 557 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 2: you color your hair. How is that any do That's 558 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 2: entirely different. It's not permanent. The holes e rear are permanent. Well, 559 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 2: that's different. They're just earrings. Yeah, but earrings on a 560 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 2: woman were probably I don't know how long ago earrings 561 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 2: were a thing and when they first came out of 562 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 2: the scene. But I would have to say, well, how's 563 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 2: that much different? You're altering your body to put jewelry 564 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 2: in there, so there's an element of vanity there. Well 565 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 2: that was different, but well, of course it is, and 566 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 2: this is different today. And so God knows what kids 567 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 2: are going to do twenty years from now. I don't 568 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 2: know if I'll be around then or you'll be around then, 569 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,479 Speaker 2: who knows, but it'll be something else at all. Just 570 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 2: it's another level of outrage, that's all. The kids aren't 571 00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 2: just content to do what mom and dad did. They 572 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 2: want should take it one step further, as we did 573 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 2: when we were kids. And that's how this whole thing works. 574 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 2: You're supposed to offend the sensibilities to the generation before you. 575 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 2: But Italy, I think it's just myself personally as a parent, like, 576 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 2: holy crap, does a nine year old need makeup? 577 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 4: No? 578 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 3: Be a damn nine year old. 579 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 2: And if kids are getting makeup, not in many nine 580 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 2: year olds I know have a job other than micro 581 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 2: influencers or whatever the hell that means. But mom and 582 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 2: dad had to be complicit in this whole thing. You know, 583 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 2: there's always a kid at school who's way out ahead 584 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 2: of the others and what their parents or parent would 585 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 2: allow them to do, and you look at it, well 586 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 2: he's doing it had to be that way with cell phones. Yeah, 587 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 2: when twenty years ago when cell phones were still not 588 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 2: everyone has them, or probably thirty years ago when not 589 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 2: everyone had same thing at but a kid gets a 590 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 2: cell phone and not everyone wants to have a phone. 591 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 2: I remember that. My daughter going through this. Okay, well 592 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 2: it's that age you get him a phone, and what's 593 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 2: the right age for a phone? And well, her friends 594 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 2: have phones and that's how they stay in content. Not today, 595 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 2: it's just like, well, yeah, you get a phone when 596 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,400 Speaker 2: you're old enough to go to school. Kindergarteners have phones 597 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 2: for crying out loud. I know it's crazy, but again, 598 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 2: it's because that line that keeps constantly shifting and evolving 599 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 2: to grow that market share. And that's what it's about. 600 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 2: All Right, we've got a time out and we've got 601 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 2: news on the way in about ten minutes here in 602 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 2: the Big one seven hundred ww or our buddy. It 603 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 2: must be lawyer day. We had good None at nine 604 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 2: o'clock talking about the Chervinsky trial, which is I don't 605 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 2: know what to make it. 606 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 3: Who knows where it's going to go. 607 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 2: Jack Render's here with the meta verdict, and this ties 608 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 2: into what we're talking about here with makeup. 609 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 3: It's the same thing. 610 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 2: Medigetting sued because the algorithms are causing young people much concern, 611 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 2: causing suicide rates there. I don't want to say they're up, 612 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 2: but what's the role that meta and that would be 613 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 2: social media have in the mental health of your children? 614 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 2: I think this case fits right into that, So we'll 615 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 2: ask them about this. So, yeah, it's a lawyer day 616 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: today and the show I mentioned Gooden was here at 617 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 2: nine o'clock. Today is the day that Alex Chevinsky will 618 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 2: have his day in court. Finally, it is the longest 619 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 2: running court case I think in the city. It seemed 620 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 2: like it was a no one's paying attention to it, 621 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 2: and the city I think wanted it to go away. 622 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 2: They wanted to create it. And the same time, I'm like, well, 623 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: it's got to go to trials. Is it going to 624 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 2: make it look good now? The mayor also, by the way, 625 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 2: with all this stuff goings on vacation, so I don't 626 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 2: know if that's like he planned that on purposing. Okay, 627 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 2: I'm going to misopening day, but this trial is supposed 628 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 2: to start. Maybe I want to be out of town 629 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 2: for this, Maybe I do, But I know he's going 630 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 2: to be back to help raise the transgender flag at 631 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 2: city Hall either today or tomorrow. I believe, Yeah, I 632 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 2: just I mean, you know, the cardboard mayor's like a 633 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 2: cardboard cutout of a mayor essentially, it's about that deep 634 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 2: like he's there for the photo ops, but the important 635 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 2: stuff like crime and a text. 636 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 3: I don't really want to. 637 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 2: Get involved in that, at least not not forward facing anyone. 638 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 2: Behind the scenes, yes, but in other ways no, and 639 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 2: other ways no. We'll see what happens today. I'm talking 640 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 2: off air with Goodin. I mean, I don't think it's 641 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 2: going to be one of those a one day trial 642 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 2: kind of things. Maybe it will be, I don't know, 643 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 2: but it seems like the evidence they have is completely overwhelming. 644 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 3: For the prosecution in this case. 645 00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 2: And even the prosecutor came out and said, here's the 646 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 2: timeline of this thing, and he was acting in self defense. Now, 647 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 2: the I think the part the wiggle room for those 648 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 2: people who wanted Chravinsky charge, not because he thought he 649 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 2: was a criminal necessarily, but essentially bit on social media 650 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 2: and saw the videos that came out that showed him 651 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 2: assaulting and using the N word to black men, to 652 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 2: a black man in particular. When it turns out that, 653 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 2: you know, a lot of epithets were thrown at him 654 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 2: and punctions as well prior to what happened. But it 655 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 2: just emphasizes we live in and you know, we live 656 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 2: in this crazy world that's absolutely so polarized right now. 657 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 2: You can't I don't know what we ever weren't, but 658 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, It's like, well, you know, 659 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 2: I would never use the N word at a black 660 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 2: You probably deserve to get your ass whoop. But at 661 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 2: the same time, when twenty eight blows are thrown in 662 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 2: a much much and equally horrible things are thrown at 663 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 2: him and his friends for no reason whatsoever. You know, 664 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 2: racism is not a one way street. We're we're conditioned 665 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 2: to understand that racism only occurs when it's whites who 666 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 2: are denigrating blacks, not the other way around. And when 667 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 2: that apple cards turned upside down, this is what you 668 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 2: get quick time out. As I said, news happens in 669 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 2: minutes here seven hundred W. WELLWT, you want to be 670 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 2: an American, it's flunny here on seven hundred WALLW. 671 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 3: We have two juries. 672 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 2: We have two massive lawses for Meta that's Mark Zuckerberg 673 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 2: Facebook at all. And now Congress says it's time to 674 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 2: treat big tech like big tobacco. He's a First Amendment attorney, 675 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 2: extraordinarrative FORCULA. Here in Cincinnati, it would be the living legend. 676 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 2: Jack Reiner on the show, maybe the second biggest Reds 677 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 2: fan behind Randy Freaking. 678 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 3: But that's debatable. 679 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: Jack. 680 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 2: How you been, Well, that'll be argued in court. Who's 681 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 2: the bigger Reds fan? Right there? Although you haven't written 682 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 2: a book yet, you have not written your own book, 683 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 2: have you? 684 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he still gets the nod. 685 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, all right, all right, let's jump in 686 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 3: on this. 687 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 2: And this is again one of those things that happened 688 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 2: on on Friday and made a little bit of news 689 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 2: over the weekend, lost in the cycle, but I think 690 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 2: it's important because really what we're looking at is is 691 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 2: the ability for companies like Meta to influence kids who 692 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 2: into young people. And we often talk about the algorithm 693 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 2: and the like. So a jury ordered Meta is out 694 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 2: in New Mexico to pay three hundred and seventy five million, 695 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 2: which is nothing for them, but for misleading users on 696 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 2: safety and failing to protect children. Now, a second phase 697 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 2: of this trial start early May, early next month that 698 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 2: could force design changes including age irrigation, encrypted messages, and 699 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 2: a court appointed child safety monitor, which seems, wow, how 700 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 2: the hell are you going to do this with a 701 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 2: company as big as as Meta is. So that's kind 702 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 2: of like the forty thousand foot view on this whole thing. 703 00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 2: It's something called Section two thirty, which you here brought 704 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 2: up all the time. It's protected platforms for something like 705 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 2: thirty years. So walk us through exactly what that shield does. 706 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 2: What section two thirty is and what the Planet's attorneys 707 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 2: figured it out to get around it. 708 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 6: Section two thirty says that a internet service provider such 709 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 6: as Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, et cetera, it is not liable 710 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 6: for content did by third parties. That is different than 711 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 6: traditional law. Traditionally, newspapers have been liable for letters to 712 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 6: the editor. So if I write a letter to the 713 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 6: editor and I defame somebody, I can be held liable 714 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 6: for that, But so can the newspaper as the publisher. 715 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: So what. 716 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 6: Section two thirty says is that the internet service provider 717 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 6: will not be deemed to be the publisher of third 718 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 6: party content. That's the most simple way of putting it. 719 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,319 Speaker 2: All right, that's an easy way to frame this whole thing, 720 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 2: And of course we'll see what happens in the second leg. 721 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 2: But the other part of this too is remember a 722 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 2: California Journey found them and YouTube negligent in that landmark 723 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,440 Speaker 2: social media trial. Two thousand plus pending lawsuits me meaning damages. 724 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 2: I mean three seventy five for Facebook for Suckerberk is nothing, 725 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 2: but damages could multiply pretty dramatically, I would think coming 726 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 2: up in this thing too. So the legal theory here 727 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 2: treat social media like it's a defective product rather than 728 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 2: speech and using a first amendment turning all about that 729 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 2: is a is that a solid argument? 730 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 3: Does that hold up on appeal? 731 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 6: You know a lot of people have been comparing this 732 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 6: to the tobacco litigation, and in the idea that the 733 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 6: tobacco companies put out a product knowing that it was 734 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 6: addictive and even enhancing the addictive nature of the product 735 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 6: in some instances. In that respect, it's a decent analogy. 736 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 6: The difference though, here is that the social media companies 737 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 6: this isn't just because they're tech. I mean the tech 738 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 6: is social media and that is speech. And so that 739 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 6: the question is, isn't I think I know what this was? 740 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 6: This was asserted as a defense that both in New 741 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 6: Mexico and the California trust is that this is beat. 742 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 6: This is third party content that is posted not by Meta, 743 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 6: not by Facebook, not by Instagram, but by third parties, 744 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:18,240 Speaker 6: and therefore it should be shielded by Section two thirty 745 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 6: of the Communications Decency Act. It's very intertwined. So what 746 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 6: the planeifs did? Let's talk about California, which resulted in 747 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 6: a total of six million dollars in damages, three million 748 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 6: in compensatory damages, and another three million impunitive damages. The 749 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 6: plane by the plaintiff was that it was the features, 750 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 6: the algorithm, the infinite scroll, the notifications, auto play, beauty filters, 751 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:54,279 Speaker 6: all contributed to the obsess or compulsive use of the 752 00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 6: product by this twenty year old woman known as in 753 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 6: the in the lawsuits kg M. And that that isn't 754 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 6: about speech, that's about product design. But it's it's a 755 00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 6: it's trickier, I think, than the tobacco cases because it 756 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:18,799 Speaker 6: does it does intertwine closely with speech, and it's it's 757 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 6: a little hard to separate those two. There's no First 758 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 6: Amendment right to smoke. There is a First Amendment right 759 00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 6: to speak. So I think that while the tobacco cases 760 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 6: are a decent analogy, they're not a complete analogy. You now, 761 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 6: you mentioned Scott, who was interesting. So the New Mexico 762 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 6: case was actually brought by the Attorney General of New Mexico. 763 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 6: And in this case it wasn't so much damages, it 764 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 6: was a fine that the It was brought under the 765 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 6: New Mexico Computer Consumer Product Safety Statue, and that statue 766 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:03,400 Speaker 6: provided for a five thousand dollars per violation fine, so 767 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 6: which in the New Mexico case totaled up to three 768 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 6: hundred and seventy five million. I can't divide three hundre. 769 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 3: Hundred five million, five thousand. 770 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 6: Ver quickly, but it's a big no, you know. So 771 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 6: there were a lot of violations. Now, I think what's 772 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 6: interesting and as you say, three seventy five, three hundred 773 00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 6: and seventy five million is kind of jump change to Meta, 774 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 6: and certainly six millions they have in their couch coushions probably, 775 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 6: But what I might be more concerned if I'm Meta 776 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:43,720 Speaker 6: about the California case, because as you say, there could 777 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 6: be thousands, tens of thousands of follow on cases brought 778 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 6: by other young people and they may point to the 779 00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 6: California judgment as settling the legal issue about the about 780 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,720 Speaker 6: Meta's liability. And it could be that in future cases 781 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 6: it's just going to be how much damages are involved. 782 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,400 Speaker 6: And so that's six million dollars to quickly escalate to 783 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 6: a billion, I mean it's not it's not outside the 784 00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 6: realm of loss ability. 785 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 2: A billion dollar, five billion dollars in penalty, that's that's 786 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 2: her sharing. He is attorney Jack Ryaner first Amendon attorney, 787 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 2: talking about the meta verdict, what this all means for 788 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 2: you and your kids especially. We do have some breaking news. 789 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 2: Let me interrupt for just a second here, Jack, I'll 790 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 2: put you on hold. 791 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:37,760 Speaker 3: He is breaking news on news radio seven hundred WLW. 792 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,759 Speaker 2: Brian Combs jumps in this morning with boy, this is 793 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 2: a shocker. 794 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 7: The Hamil and Kelly court case against Alex Schervinsky, the 795 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 7: man charged after the violence that happened on four Straight 796 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:54,640 Speaker 7: Downtown last July, has been dismissed. 797 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,520 Speaker 3: Karen Johnson of WLWT in. 798 00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 7: The courtroom this morning to trial with to start with 799 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 7: jury selection at ten, and she is reporting that the 800 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 7: case has been thrown out. Don't know if it's a 801 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 7: case that could be refiled at this point. We do 802 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 7: know from discussions with the attorney for Travinsky ahead of 803 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 7: this trial that he fully anticipated that this might happen. 804 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,919 Speaker 7: Prosecution was having trouble getting some witnesses to cooperate since 805 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,839 Speaker 7: they are facing charges as well, didn't want to tell 806 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 7: before their own trials happened. There were other problems with this, 807 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 7: including the two of the star witnesses for Travinsky. Our 808 00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 7: police detectives who investigated this case and refused to bring charges, 809 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:48,439 Speaker 7: charges that were then later brought by Adam Henny, the 810 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 7: interim police chief now who was the captain in charge 811 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 7: of the district at the time where this occurred. So 812 00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,840 Speaker 7: the state is sparing him or the city of sparing 813 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 7: him having to testify explain why he brought the charges 814 00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 7: when his detectives did not want to. We know that 815 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 7: these charges were somewhat suspect from the beginning because they 816 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 7: came well after all of the other people who were 817 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 7: charged in the beatings with felonies were charged, and came 818 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 7: after some African American leaders in town demanded that someone 819 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 7: they said who didn't look like them be charged as well, 820 00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:26,800 Speaker 7: meaning someone who was white. And that was the charges 821 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 7: part against Stravinsky. There are six other defendants who are 822 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 7: facing felonies that could put them away for a long 823 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,719 Speaker 7: time for beating Travinsky and for beating Holly, the woman 824 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,480 Speaker 7: who was attacked. Their trials are all set for May, 825 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,120 Speaker 7: and we believe that Stravinsky will now become a witness 826 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 7: in those cases. 827 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 3: He's a defendant now he's a witness. 828 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, And we'll be working with the prosecution though those 829 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 7: cases will be handled by the Hamilting County prosecutor instead 830 00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 7: of Cincinnati prosecutors. So we don't have a whole lot 831 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 7: of details about what's behind this. Hopefully by ten thirty 832 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 7: maybe we'll have a few of the details revealed. The 833 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,560 Speaker 7: judge this case did refuse to allow a live stream 834 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 7: of the proceedings, so that did not happen, so we 835 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 7: can't follow with that. 836 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 3: Very interesting, Yeah, is a judge dismissing it. 837 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,760 Speaker 2: Did the prosecution just say, hey, we don't have witness 838 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 2: well dismissed. 839 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 3: Ultimately the judge had to throw out the charge. 840 00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,759 Speaker 7: But yeah, we don't know yet at this point if 841 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 7: it was the prosecution who said we can't proceed, or 842 00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 7: maybe some of their witnesses didn't show up. 843 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 3: Today. 844 00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:27,520 Speaker 7: We know a couple of them were confidential police informants 845 00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:32,280 Speaker 7: who were not very reliable and maybe did not appear 846 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,720 Speaker 7: in the past, and they had to ask for continuances 847 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 7: and the judge said, clearly the last time, if you 848 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 7: asked for another continuance, it's not happened. We're moving forward, 849 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:41,839 Speaker 7: or we're throwing it out. 850 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 2: Okay again, so just reset for somebody tuning in right now. 851 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,919 Speaker 7: Brian Alex Dravinsky's a disorderly conduct trial is not going 852 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 7: to happen today over the brawl that happened in the 853 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,719 Speaker 7: streets of Cincinnati last July. The charges against him have 854 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 7: been dismissed, waiting to find out if this they could 855 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,720 Speaker 7: be filed later, or if they could be altered or changed, 856 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,720 Speaker 7: or if he's truly off the hook. He was ready 857 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 7: to fight this and claim self defense, and his attorney 858 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 7: has made it very clear that once the criminal charges 859 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 7: against him are resolved and that he will be going 860 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,839 Speaker 7: against the city for civil damage. My goodness, a lot 861 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 7: to unpack your Brian Combs, thanks again, well, I appreciate it, buddy, 862 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,040 Speaker 7: Brian Colembs. The seven hundred newsroom, which by the way, 863 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,680 Speaker 7: is not the news. We just came in the studio here, 864 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 7: i'd say, bringing behind the scenes here the satellite news center. 865 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 7: I'm going to pivot for a second, guy, Jack Reiner. 866 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 7: He's the First Amendment attorney, and we're talking about the 867 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,759 Speaker 7: meta verdict and what all that means. But I got 868 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 7: to pivot a little bit here, Jack, if you allow 869 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 7: me that discretion. As an attorney, generally speaking here, I 870 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 7: don't think this is surprising, but as far as the 871 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 7: outright dismissal of the case, do you think that's that 872 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 7: the behest to prosecutors as the judge saying this is 873 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,000 Speaker 7: frivolous and stupid, get out of my courtroom. 874 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:51,800 Speaker 3: What do you make of this? 875 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 6: I think it sounds like it was more a case 876 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 6: of just maybe the prosecution just couldn't get the witnesses 877 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:04,600 Speaker 6: they needed, because I think if the judge was going 878 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 6: to dismiss the case for lack of merit, that would 879 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,240 Speaker 6: have happened sooner. I think I would like to correct 880 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 6: something that Brian said. The judge had istree in order 881 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,640 Speaker 6: for prohibiting live streaming, but we actually took that to 882 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,960 Speaker 6: the first District Court of Appeals and got him to 883 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 6: allow live streaming. 884 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,040 Speaker 2: So okay, so there would have been live streaming had 885 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 2: this actually gone. This all was dismissed before jury selection, 886 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 2: so there's nothing to say. 887 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:36,000 Speaker 6: Right and I, yeah, this this prop I don't know, 888 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,080 Speaker 6: but this may very well have taken place in Judge 889 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 6: Johnson's chambers, the decision to dismiss. 890 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 1: And that sort of thing. 891 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 6: But I think, like I said, I think if it 892 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 6: was a question of that the case black legal merit, 893 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 6: that would have happened soon or so this this may 894 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 6: very well be just the prosecution saying you're on, I'm sorry, 895 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 6: we couldn't get the necessary witnesses. 896 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: It was a tough case to begin with, and I 897 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: think that there was a One of the. 898 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:06,080 Speaker 6: Issues was whether they could bring assault charges, and the 899 00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 6: issue was that they did have mister Stravinsky on on 900 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 6: video slapping somebody. But assault requires the threat of serious 901 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,280 Speaker 6: bodily injury, and the slap really didn't. 902 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 5: It couldn't. 903 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 6: They couldn't make the case. So I think it's my 904 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 6: recollections he was trying to disorder's content. 905 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just under the conduct. 906 00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 2: But I I was just curious on that note too, 907 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,799 Speaker 2: because the beatings that he received were far worse than 908 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 2: the open handed slap, And I guess technically that does 909 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,839 Speaker 2: not rise the lovely assault. But doesn't that further give 910 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 2: credence that this was these charges were bought for political 911 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,840 Speaker 2: pressure as opposed to actual criminal pressure. 912 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,279 Speaker 6: It really I think it's going to depend on what 913 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 6: the judge. I don't know if the judge is going 914 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:53,719 Speaker 6: to issue anything a written opinion on it, so it 915 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,840 Speaker 6: sort of depends. But it was a yeah, there was 916 00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 6: there was politics involved, I think for sure. 917 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, but that and that opens up a civil lawsuit. 918 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 2: I would think if Travinsky had the charges dismissed and 919 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,960 Speaker 2: that just broke here on seven hundred WW that the 920 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 2: charges against els to the trial is supposed to start today, 921 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,800 Speaker 2: they're not even a jury selection yet, and the charges 922 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,920 Speaker 2: were dismissed. We'll find out the details as that starts 923 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 2: coming out of Hamiltot Court. But in that regard, I 924 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 2: look at this and go, all right, well, it's dismissed, 925 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 2: and that would then set up some sort of civil climate, 926 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,759 Speaker 2: imagine from Travinsky in that if they didn't have enough 927 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 2: to bring this these charges, I don't make it to 928 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 2: make it to trial, I don't select a jury for 929 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,400 Speaker 2: crying out loud. That give credence to the fact that 930 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,320 Speaker 2: you said that suggested some sort of political will power 931 00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,120 Speaker 2: as opposed to legal ones. That opens the city and 932 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,720 Speaker 2: maybe even the mayor up to a civil rights violation lawsuit, 933 00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 2: doesn't it. 934 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,239 Speaker 6: Yeah, it potentially does, which would likely be heard in 935 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 6: federal court. So that is you know, that takes it 936 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 6: out of the local elected political sphere that you judges 937 00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 6: are appointed for. Like several judges, they don't have to 938 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 6: stand for re election. So yep, that takes it into 939 00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,719 Speaker 6: a whole different direction. But we'll see, we'll see what 940 00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:08,879 Speaker 6: happens interesting here. 941 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is an interesting case for sure. But it 942 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:14,440 Speaker 2: seems like Jack, we we always have interesting cases in Cincinnati. 943 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,960 Speaker 2: There's no shortage of legal drama here in Cincinnati, or 944 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,799 Speaker 2: just nonsense that rises the level of national news. We're 945 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 2: really good at that here in Cincinnati, O Hio, aren't we? 946 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:29,840 Speaker 2: Maybe that should be this look right, crazy crazy story 947 00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,480 Speaker 2: and you can do like one a year basically because 948 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 2: it's it's a gift that keeps on giving. Listen, I 949 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 2: know you came to talk about meta, but things do 950 00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,800 Speaker 2: happen in the breaking news. Rom I appreciate you pivoting 951 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,200 Speaker 2: with me. Jack Rynder, first Amendment attorney for Rookie Law. 952 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:47,560 Speaker 2: Thanks again, buddy, appreciate the insight, No problem, Take care 953 00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:49,439 Speaker 2: there you go. Well, yeah, meta isn't there? 954 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:49,719 Speaker 1: This? 955 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 2: This is more, This is sexier. I'm want to continue 956 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,359 Speaker 2: talking about that with you at five and three, seven four, nine, 957 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 2: seven thousand. 958 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:55,719 Speaker 3: Now what do you think happened? 959 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:55,840 Speaker 1: Now? 960 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:57,799 Speaker 2: It's going to get damn interesting here too, and what 961 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,799 Speaker 2: does it say about our legal system because often in 962 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 2: this case, people like aftat pureval Democrats scream about the 963 00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 2: bias in the court system, how the courts are biased, 964 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:07,600 Speaker 2: and we need to fix that. We need to bond 965 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,799 Speaker 2: and bell reform, we need to do own recognizance and 966 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 2: things like that. We had to be gentler to criminals 967 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,840 Speaker 2: because they are victims too. We've tried that now for 968 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 2: the last number of years. It doesn't seem to be 969 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:21,120 Speaker 2: working in Cincinnati with some of the crime rates, not 970 00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:22,920 Speaker 2: all of them, but some of the crime rates risings, 971 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,800 Speaker 2: particularly the violent ones, particularly the group of assaults and 972 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,880 Speaker 2: the like. We saw street takeovers and everything else downtown, 973 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 2: and we saw what happening in the opening day most recently. 974 00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:33,879 Speaker 2: God knows what the summer is going to bring when 975 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 2: the weather actually starts to cooperate with us here. But 976 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 2: relative to this discussion and what we just heard, the 977 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,359 Speaker 2: news that broke about Travinsky's charges being dismissed, and what 978 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,640 Speaker 2: that sets up legally speaking, the same people that scream 979 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:50,239 Speaker 2: about a biased judicial system. I don't know about you, 980 00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 2: but from my vantage point, it seems like those people 981 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 2: are complaining are the ones also guilty of it. We'll 982 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:57,480 Speaker 2: get into that right after a news update where we're 983 00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 2: sat and foind out the very latest from downtown next 984 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:07,320 Speaker 2: on seven hundred WLW, Scott's Flowing Show on seven hundred WWT. 985 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 2: Always pivoting, always pivoting, because we got breaking news minutes ago. 986 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,680 Speaker 2: You're here first yere on seven hundred WLW. And that 987 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 2: was the case against Alek Trevinsky, the man charged with 988 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 2: disorderly conduct in the July assault at Fourth and Elm, 989 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 2: the trial that's been delayed and delayed and delayed again 990 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,560 Speaker 2: after a last minute continuance. Today was supposedly the day 991 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 2: and before jury selection even began, the judge dis missed 992 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 2: the case. And now we're hearing it was the beause 993 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,440 Speaker 2: of the prosecution that again the prosecution's key witness that 994 00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:43,400 Speaker 2: failed to appeer, citing fear for his safety after information 995 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 2: let him believe the people believed to identified as an 996 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:48,279 Speaker 2: FBI informant, which they say is not true. But nonetheless 997 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,399 Speaker 2: that witness failed to appear, and therefore the prosecution's case 998 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,399 Speaker 2: fell apart. And so I think it's probably a case 999 00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:58,239 Speaker 2: of and pleating the fifth and saying, well, if I 1000 00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:02,839 Speaker 2: testify for the prosecution against als Stravinsky, I am now 1001 00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:06,919 Speaker 2: implicated in what I saw, and now I'm implicating myself here, 1002 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,640 Speaker 2: So I think that's what's going on in this really 1003 00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:12,240 Speaker 2: weird case. But nonetheless, the case completely and utterly dismissed 1004 00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,680 Speaker 2: against al Stravinsky, which brings up a whole host of 1005 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 2: other questions relative to Summer Slam Cincinnati twenty five. When 1006 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 2: you look at what just transpired here, it really is 1007 00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 2: there's a lot to unpack. I know at this point 1008 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:31,880 Speaker 2: because it was hell nine months ago that this crime occurred, 1009 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,280 Speaker 2: or crimes occurred anyway, and initially at first blush, of course, 1010 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,440 Speaker 2: it was Alice Stravinsky as the assailant dropping the end bomb, 1011 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,600 Speaker 2: which even if you're the victim of a crime, I 1012 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,759 Speaker 2: don't recommend doing because it can make the beating even worse. 1013 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 2: You shouldn't use the word. But nonetheless that's what transpired. 1014 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 2: Of course, this was led prior to this, we saw 1015 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 2: Holly get smacked down, and we still don't know what 1016 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:52,520 Speaker 2: she had anything to do with. It's is a woman 1017 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,200 Speaker 2: standing there and gets sucker puncher behind, as the case 1018 00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:58,680 Speaker 2: may be with these street brawls. Nonetheless, the case of 1019 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 2: Ali Stravinsky is here's a guy who was hit at 1020 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:03,920 Speaker 2: least twenty eight times or he and others around him, 1021 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,160 Speaker 2: And this all started at the club found the music festival, 1022 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,160 Speaker 2: and they're in the VIP area at a club and 1023 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,520 Speaker 2: a lot of African American clientele there, and a number 1024 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,520 Speaker 2: of them were I guess maybe a few of them anyway, 1025 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,280 Speaker 2: were hurling racial epithets and wondering what they were doing 1026 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,879 Speaker 2: at the Cincinnati Music festl last time I checked. Whether 1027 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,840 Speaker 2: it's a black musician, a white musician, or any musician 1028 00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:28,879 Speaker 2: for that matter, music is certainly appreciated by most people. 1029 00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,120 Speaker 2: I would say, I'm a fan of some of the 1030 00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:34,560 Speaker 2: acts that played there as well. But it makes one think, like, well, 1031 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,080 Speaker 2: if I'm a white guy going to what's quote unquote 1032 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 2: a black show, is that going to be a problem 1033 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:39,400 Speaker 2: for me? 1034 00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,920 Speaker 3: What it was for Aleis Stravinsky. Why that is, we 1035 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:42,399 Speaker 3: don't know. 1036 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,239 Speaker 2: But it was all started by an individual with some 1037 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,840 Speaker 2: serious mental incompetencies going on. But that's not an excuse. 1038 00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,360 Speaker 2: It's not an excuse that he was egged on despite 1039 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:56,680 Speaker 2: the fact that maybe had some learning difficulties or wasn't 1040 00:51:56,680 --> 00:52:00,759 Speaker 2: all put together. Nonetheless, it happened, That's what occurred. But 1041 00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:03,799 Speaker 2: we just doubled down to the stupidity. And now what 1042 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 2: winds up happening is this opens up a civil suit. 1043 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,959 Speaker 2: I would think on the part of Shavinskian's attorneys to say, look, 1044 00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:11,960 Speaker 2: it's pretty clear now that they didn't have a case 1045 00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:16,440 Speaker 2: put together. Was I prosecuted because I've out of the law, 1046 00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,239 Speaker 2: or was i prosecuted as a victim because well, I'm 1047 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:23,120 Speaker 2: white and white people are always the aggressor when it 1048 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 2: comes to racially motivated crimes. Well, it's pretty clear that's 1049 00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 2: not true, and we know that's not true, but that 1050 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 2: is the mantra I think, and we'll get into that 1051 00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,160 Speaker 2: in just a second. But it was kipt Guiding the prosecutor. 1052 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 2: Assistant prosecutor for the county said his office had been 1053 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:37,879 Speaker 2: working on this was back last year. They were doing 1054 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,200 Speaker 2: a compilation of videos to turn over to the defense attorneys, 1055 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:45,120 Speaker 2: and they established a clear timeline of what happened. They 1056 00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,399 Speaker 2: took the citizen video too, off the interwebs, but also 1057 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,319 Speaker 2: there were at least two non public cameras that were 1058 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,759 Speaker 2: capturing a timeline a little bit better, and so they're 1059 00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,320 Speaker 2: able to piece this all together. And they discovered, of course, 1060 00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,800 Speaker 2: after the flop about hey you got to prosecute the 1061 00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 2: white guy because it's racism if you don't that the 1062 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,759 Speaker 2: slap that Alex Stravinsky threw wasn't the beginning of the fight. 1063 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,319 Speaker 2: And now prior to that N bomb being dropped in 1064 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,759 Speaker 2: Schevinsky's slapping, which is a misdemeanor, not a felm me 1065 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,799 Speaker 2: by the way, the state says Jermaine Matthews was the 1066 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 2: main instigator of the man I was talking about, and 1067 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,920 Speaker 2: he had been harassing the best victims and he was 1068 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,200 Speaker 2: egged on by others in the crowd. He was saying, 1069 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,480 Speaker 2: you're at the wrong corner at the wrong party, and quote, 1070 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,440 Speaker 2: they were going to make sure they got off that corner, 1071 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,680 Speaker 2: and some were struck and beaten prior to the N 1072 00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,600 Speaker 2: word coming out in the slab coming out said a 1073 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,120 Speaker 2: lot of it was ww east dug and sucker punch 1074 00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 2: him behind, and Travinsky looked like a pretty good big guy, 1075 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,360 Speaker 2: had enough of it and went and slapped this gentleman. 1076 00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:44,920 Speaker 2: Now Clyde Bennett, the defense attorney I had on the 1077 00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,680 Speaker 2: show and probably had them not again as standing by 1078 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,880 Speaker 2: the initial narrative that was started by the white guys, 1079 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,840 Speaker 2: and his quote was a blind man conceited and never been. 1080 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 2: The city knows if you remove racing roof politics, this 1081 00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:55,799 Speaker 2: is a fistfight and a brawl that was fueled by 1082 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,520 Speaker 2: alcohol consumption and that was initiated by some of the 1083 00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 2: alleged victims. That's a quote of end. Well it turns 1084 00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:02,759 Speaker 2: out and the case being dismissed and all. I guess 1085 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 2: we will never know the fact pattern here, but it's 1086 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:09,000 Speaker 2: pretty clear that the uh, the behavior was dominantly and 1087 00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,560 Speaker 2: predominantly black folks in the crowd, and not all of them, 1088 00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,200 Speaker 2: because we saw a number of folks say, man, this 1089 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 2: is stupid. Cut this noise out. It's like anything you 1090 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 2: get a group of people together, there's knuckleheads of all colors. 1091 00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 2: But I guess that's my point is now this whole 1092 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,760 Speaker 2: thing is set up, and this may wind up costing 1093 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:26,279 Speaker 2: you even more money if you live in the city 1094 00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:30,239 Speaker 2: of Cincinnati. In that if this becomes a civil case, 1095 00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,960 Speaker 2: and the two detectives who refuse to testify basically for 1096 00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 2: the prosecution of this game, they wind up getting called 1097 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,840 Speaker 2: to the stand and they will they'll they'll be uh, 1098 00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:43,440 Speaker 2: they'll testify for the defense saying listen, there was nothing 1099 00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,960 Speaker 2: there to justify charges being filed against Alex Stravinsky. That's 1100 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,560 Speaker 2: kind of a smoking gun. You've got two detectives that 1101 00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:52,080 Speaker 2: are willing to state that and go, yeah, we didn't. 1102 00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:53,680 Speaker 2: We had no reason to charge this guy because he 1103 00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,280 Speaker 2: was a victim. But they made us anyway. And who's 1104 00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,240 Speaker 2: the day? How high does it go? That's the allegation 1105 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,560 Speaker 2: will be made if this and it should go to 1106 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,680 Speaker 2: a civil rights claim. This would be a civil case. 1107 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:07,399 Speaker 2: But I don't even know the civil rights violation here. 1108 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:08,920 Speaker 2: How much money is not going to cost you the 1109 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:14,120 Speaker 2: taxpayer to settle this and what is it all predicated on. Look, 1110 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:15,920 Speaker 2: I'm a realist. I understand that there are a lot 1111 00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 2: of white people who are racist, but I would also 1112 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,080 Speaker 2: have to realize that a lot of Asian black and 1113 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,799 Speaker 2: male female gays, a lot of people have issues as well. 1114 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,919 Speaker 2: So to think that racism in this country is one side, 1115 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:32,920 Speaker 2: I think that's the fallacy that this whole mess is 1116 00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:38,560 Speaker 2: standing upon. The narrative that black folks can't be racist 1117 00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,040 Speaker 2: is not true. It's not like whites don't have a 1118 00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,440 Speaker 2: shortage of racism. The Klan, we've got flyers, we've got 1119 00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:47,000 Speaker 2: Lincoln Heights, we got the you know, the guy burning 1120 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,880 Speaker 2: the Pride flag, anti gay. I get all that, and 1121 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,960 Speaker 2: it's sickening because you should be junched on what you 1122 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,440 Speaker 2: do and not who you are. But nonetheless that has 1123 00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 2: always been and always will be a component of our society. 1124 00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:01,959 Speaker 2: I know there's people out there going, wow, it's fine, 1125 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 2: let it go. You know, we should always try to 1126 00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 2: get better from one day to the next, self improvement 1127 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,680 Speaker 2: and such. But they have others believing there's a utopia 1128 00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:10,440 Speaker 2: out there and if everyone can just get along and 1129 00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:12,799 Speaker 2: there's no wars and no fighting, and it turns into 1130 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:13,799 Speaker 2: a John Lennon song. 1131 00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:15,319 Speaker 3: That's not reality either. 1132 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,759 Speaker 2: But the problem here is that the progressive narrative from 1133 00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,200 Speaker 2: aftab on down that blacks being the victim of whites 1134 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,799 Speaker 2: are a daily occurrence, and you stick up for people 1135 00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,720 Speaker 2: who are committing crimes, no matter how vicious. 1136 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,640 Speaker 3: That the optics of this is. 1137 00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,239 Speaker 2: Terrible and it's been terrible, and it's not it's going 1138 00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,720 Speaker 2: to wind up maybe costing somebody some money, some serious 1139 00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,759 Speaker 2: money here, that only one side is the oppressor and 1140 00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 2: the idea here. And we saw this with Iris Roli, 1141 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,759 Speaker 2: We saw this with the Advanced Peace Movement from Jan 1142 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:49,000 Speaker 2: Michelleman Kearney and others that believe that all criminals somehow 1143 00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,000 Speaker 2: are victims themselves, and what does that let us. It's 1144 00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:55,160 Speaker 2: led us to a very bloody winter, if not spring, 1145 00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,360 Speaker 2: and possibly summer. At this point, the mayor wouldn't e 1146 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:03,680 Speaker 2: of acknowledge the murder of Patrick Harringer, which really started 1147 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:08,640 Speaker 2: this whole thing a year ago. The assault on Holly 1148 00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,799 Speaker 2: has just been gone by the wayside, the idea that 1149 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,320 Speaker 2: right now. In City Council yesterday, as a matter of fact, 1150 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:20,680 Speaker 2: they asked Chief Interim Chief Adam Henny what the department 1151 00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,720 Speaker 2: would look like if they took a five percent haircut. 1152 00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,400 Speaker 2: He said, well, if we had to cut five percent 1153 00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,240 Speaker 2: of our budget roughly eleven million dollars, we would have 1154 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:34,560 Speaker 2: to get rid of officers, what loss cops, laws enforcement? 1155 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:37,640 Speaker 2: You know, I had Damon Lynch on the show, and 1156 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,200 Speaker 2: one of the most vocal black leaders in the community. 1157 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,080 Speaker 2: For sure, he saw it one way, and that is 1158 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:44,760 Speaker 2: the black folks are the victim here. Well, I shouldn't 1159 00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:47,880 Speaker 2: say that to be fair to the Damon Lynch. It 1160 00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,280 Speaker 2: would be more along the lines like, well, you know, 1161 00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,840 Speaker 2: we realize that there's some people involved in this, but 1162 00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 2: you have to charge everyone the same. I mean, if 1163 00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:59,160 Speaker 2: we're the other way around there, there'd be outrage if 1164 00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,120 Speaker 2: it was a bunch of white folks beating up a 1165 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 2: black guy, and we probably meet the front line going 1166 00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,920 Speaker 2: that's wrong, you shouldn't do that. But in this case, like, well, 1167 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:08,360 Speaker 2: let's say there's a nuance here. It's like, I guess 1168 00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,640 Speaker 2: what black folks can be racist? I think we should 1169 00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 2: kind of admit that not just a white thing, it's 1170 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,240 Speaker 2: an everyone thing. Yeah, we were the rest of the 1171 00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:22,440 Speaker 2: community who wants to hear okay, the community what you know, 1172 00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,439 Speaker 2: you kind of lost credibility there. But we're just gonna 1173 00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,640 Speaker 2: double down and say no, no, no, no, this guy 1174 00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:29,040 Speaker 2: should have been charged and this is gonna be a 1175 00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,040 Speaker 2: miscarriage of justice and goes to show you how broken 1176 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,600 Speaker 2: the system is, and so everyone will wind up leaning 1177 00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:38,280 Speaker 2: into that. It's just, uh, it's just predictably insane, is 1178 00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:38,680 Speaker 2: what it is. 1179 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 3: Unfortunately. 1180 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:43,280 Speaker 2: And so we'll get more details coming out. Of course, 1181 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:46,640 Speaker 2: if you're just joining the show. What about half hour 1182 00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,720 Speaker 2: ago here on the show, Brian Combs broke in and 1183 00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:51,320 Speaker 2: I think it was our buddy Karen Johnson over at 1184 00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 2: Wody OLDWUT who actually was in courtroom and broke the 1185 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:57,120 Speaker 2: story that the charge against al Travinsky have been dismissed. 1186 00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,080 Speaker 2: We don't know, I guess we do now that the 1187 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,320 Speaker 2: prosecutor said, look, our witness is not going to show, 1188 00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,080 Speaker 2: so we have no choice but to ask for dismissal 1189 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,720 Speaker 2: of this case because our key witness here doesn't want 1190 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,000 Speaker 2: to testify because they are also charged. In What winds 1191 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:13,360 Speaker 2: up happening is you have a right to not incriminate 1192 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,840 Speaker 2: yourself under the Fifth Amendment. And I've guess that's sugguessing 1193 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 2: in my limited legal knowledge here that that's what occurred 1194 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:22,920 Speaker 2: in this courtroom. And so well, I guess we'll never 1195 00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,960 Speaker 2: know what the conclusion is, but you almost be certain 1196 00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:26,800 Speaker 2: that a civil suit is going to be filed on 1197 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,439 Speaker 2: behalf of Al Stravinsky because he's been jammed up now 1198 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:31,200 Speaker 2: for the better part of a year in this whole thing. 1199 00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:33,560 Speaker 2: And the story that just continues. And by the way, 1200 00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,680 Speaker 2: I'm gonna point this out. So the two detectives that 1201 00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,280 Speaker 2: would testify for the defense Alec Stravinsky and say, yeah, 1202 00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:40,880 Speaker 2: there was nothing here to charge this guy, and I 1203 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:45,640 Speaker 2: was going to sign it, and Adam Henny did. The 1204 00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 2: same guy who is now the interim chief on the 1205 00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:50,800 Speaker 2: same day, by the way, that the contract with Frost 1206 00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:55,040 Speaker 2: Brown Todd expires. The city has investigating why they fired 1207 00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,600 Speaker 2: Terry Thiji in October, and here we are now almost 1208 00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,160 Speaker 2: into April. Tomorrow's April, and we're still investigating why we 1209 01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,480 Speaker 2: fired her back six months ago. Doesn't make any sense 1210 01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,280 Speaker 2: to me, but maybe downtown it does. So now, what 1211 01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 2: happens if Henny signs this If Henny signs this thing 1212 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:14,320 Speaker 2: and he did, and they go, well, we've got the 1213 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:18,160 Speaker 2: charges dismissed because this is political pressure. What happens to him? 1214 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,560 Speaker 2: Could it very well be that they decide, well, we 1215 01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:23,880 Speaker 2: didn't fight anything on on Thiegi, they will too, because 1216 01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,040 Speaker 2: the attorneys came out and pretty much said that already 1217 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,680 Speaker 2: to take the take it out of play and maybe 1218 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,640 Speaker 2: tamp down expectations there, but why not bring Fiji back 1219 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:37,960 Speaker 2: van and Henny is signing arrest words that were motivated politically. 1220 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,000 Speaker 2: The whole thing stinks, is what it does. And the 1221 01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,360 Speaker 2: bigger question, the bigger thing is I think we deserve 1222 01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:45,040 Speaker 2: better than this. Is Cincinnati is now. I don't live 1223 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,280 Speaker 2: in the city per se for obvious reasons, and maybe 1224 01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:50,520 Speaker 2: you do, But I like to frequent downtown. I like 1225 01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:53,160 Speaker 2: to think it's fairly safe. I know in times you 1226 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,320 Speaker 2: have big groups down there, there's gonna be problems, but 1227 01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,920 Speaker 2: the problems seem to be increasing, not decreasing. And now 1228 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,200 Speaker 2: we've got a racial opponent this whole thing that could 1229 01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:02,840 Speaker 2: make it worse because now you're going to have the 1230 01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,240 Speaker 2: leaders of quote unquote leaders screaming about the process, how 1231 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:10,200 Speaker 2: this guy can walk away and that the system is 1232 01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:14,440 Speaker 2: broken and it's racist when it's clearly not. And the 1233 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,120 Speaker 2: other element then, too, is that that then fuel more 1234 01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,720 Speaker 2: animosity towards folks when they go downtown. This is not 1235 01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:21,760 Speaker 2: a good look for the city of Cincinnati, and there's 1236 01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:23,400 Speaker 2: a lot of repercussions that are going to be felt. 1237 01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 2: I'm guessing Willie's going to pick us up today at 1238 01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 2: twelve oh six here on seven hundred ww's we continue 1239 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:31,080 Speaker 2: on the Scotsland Show at five, three, seven, four, nine, seven, 1240 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,360 Speaker 2: eight hund the Big one hit talk back on the 1241 01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,880 Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app So we'll continue to follow the developments here 1242 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,400 Speaker 2: from the dismissal of the Alex Travinsky case and what 1243 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,600 Speaker 2: all this means, because it's like an octopus, it's like 1244 01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,760 Speaker 2: a bunch of OCTOPI I guess tentacles in all directions, 1245 01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 2: the repercussions could be felt, and probably many things I 1246 01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:53,080 Speaker 2: even considered are part of this mix. Now that this 1247 01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,480 Speaker 2: case has been dismissed, not with prejudice, but just rather 1248 01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,000 Speaker 2: dismissed because the witnesses aren't shown up because they're locked 1249 01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 2: up themselves. You got a guy who is a victim 1250 01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:06,320 Speaker 2: but also a defendant, and now we witness Alex Kravinsky. 1251 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,640 Speaker 2: It's a full time job just being Alex Dravinsky. I 1252 01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,480 Speaker 2: guess now you did throw I will say, you throw 1253 01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,240 Speaker 2: the end bomb out, You're gonna get punched in the head. 1254 01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:15,080 Speaker 3: I've made that clear to be able to disagree with me. 1255 01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,760 Speaker 2: It's like you drap the end bomb and somebody hears 1256 01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,360 Speaker 2: that they're gonna knock you the bleep up as well 1257 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,800 Speaker 2: you should and I get it. I understand there's a 1258 01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,840 Speaker 2: double standard there. It can be used, and I always 1259 01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 2: contend when it comes to the N word. Myself is like, well, 1260 01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:31,520 Speaker 2: I got a problem with the N word being used 1261 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 2: in the conton depending on the context of the used 1262 01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 2: because in the course of a hip hop song, it's fine, 1263 01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:38,960 Speaker 2: but if a white guy sitting along with a hip 1264 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:40,000 Speaker 2: hop song like I like to. 1265 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:41,920 Speaker 3: That's a problem. I don't think it should be, but 1266 01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:42,640 Speaker 3: it's a problem. 1267 01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 2: The other element of this, too is Okay, well, we 1268 01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 2: could talk about the use of the N word in 1269 01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,240 Speaker 2: the light, but racial epithets were hurled at white people, 1270 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 2: and I guess we want to look the other way 1271 01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,720 Speaker 2: on that. Look, if we're gonna stamp out racism, and 1272 01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:58,560 Speaker 2: God knows, in this town where we have the Freedom 1273 01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:00,919 Speaker 2: Center and we have marches and we have doctor Martin 1274 01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,760 Speaker 2: Luther King's statues and everything else and about quality and 1275 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:07,560 Speaker 2: opportunity and all these wonderful concepts, then you got to 1276 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,800 Speaker 2: be as outrage if not more outraged about what transpired 1277 01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:14,680 Speaker 2: with this case than you would with most others. But again, 1278 01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,040 Speaker 2: asking for people, or maybe not you, but others, to 1279 01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,520 Speaker 2: be consistent in this is not going to happen. There's 1280 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,320 Speaker 2: no consistency anymore. We've completely lost that. We get a 1281 01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:25,920 Speaker 2: time out and we got news. In a minutes, we'll 1282 01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:29,920 Speaker 2: recap this entire story. Alex Tchravinsky's case being dismissed by 1283 01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,120 Speaker 2: Judge Johnson at the behest of the prosecution because I 1284 01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:36,000 Speaker 2: guess the witness one of the witnesses said, I'm not 1285 01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:37,880 Speaker 2: showing up. I'm not going to do this because I'm 1286 01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,440 Speaker 2: going to incriminate myself. What a story on seven hundred 1287 01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:42,200 Speaker 2: wlwod since nonat do want. 1288 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:43,200 Speaker 1: To be an American? 1289 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:44,920 Speaker 6: Foods? 1290 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,360 Speaker 2: Going back on seven hundred w olw rolling through it 1291 01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:50,480 Speaker 2: today and Democrats a fear ice. We saw the no 1292 01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:55,800 Speaker 2: Kings protests over the weekend. I was celebrating little Kings myself, 1293 01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:57,800 Speaker 2: but not part of the No King's protests. 1294 01:03:58,560 --> 01:03:59,120 Speaker 3: Fear Ice. 1295 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:03,720 Speaker 2: It's the three letters that should instill concern in every American. 1296 01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,560 Speaker 2: But you know there's three other letters I think we 1297 01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,480 Speaker 2: should fear more and on that is Holly Adams. Holly 1298 01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:13,640 Speaker 2: is a candidate for Ohio wan So running against Greg Landsman, 1299 01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:17,800 Speaker 2: and she's out of Hamilton. Also a fellow Falcon from 1300 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,080 Speaker 2: the Bolden Green State University. Holly Adams, Holly, welcome, are you? 1301 01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,120 Speaker 5: I'm good, Scott, Thanks so much for having me. 1302 01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:24,520 Speaker 8: On your show. 1303 01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:27,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, you bet, thanks for taking time out. So Democrats 1304 01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:30,520 Speaker 2: say they want to abolish ice because it's dangerous, it's abusive, 1305 01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:33,480 Speaker 2: and make the case what does a community without ice 1306 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:34,320 Speaker 2: actually look like? 1307 01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:40,240 Speaker 5: That's interesting. You know, everybody that follows Greg Landsman and 1308 01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,800 Speaker 5: knows that we need to replace him here in the district. 1309 01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:49,680 Speaker 5: So he describes ICE as a non law abiding agency, 1310 01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,040 Speaker 5: which is exactly the opposite of. 1311 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:52,720 Speaker 8: What they are. 1312 01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,200 Speaker 5: And we need them to remove these criminals from our 1313 01:04:56,240 --> 01:05:00,360 Speaker 5: streets and the people want that, and it's you know, 1314 01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:04,040 Speaker 5: it's hard to accomplish and what we kind of know why, 1315 01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 5: but the Democrat Party and people like Greg Lansman want 1316 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:09,960 Speaker 5: to procast the criminals on the street and be fond ICE. 1317 01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:13,360 Speaker 5: So we really need to support, you know, all of 1318 01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:16,760 Speaker 5: our law law enforcement to make our city safe. We 1319 01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,520 Speaker 5: have a safety problem here already in Cincinnati and Hamilton County, 1320 01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,800 Speaker 5: and you know, ICE is just and another resource that 1321 01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:25,440 Speaker 5: can help us make our city favor. 1322 01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the problem, of course, you know, it's politics, 1323 01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,720 Speaker 2: and so it's it's one side v. The other, and 1324 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:32,920 Speaker 2: so there's there's no gray area. But I think the 1325 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:34,960 Speaker 2: gray aer for both sides. You know, if you're a Democrat, 1326 01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:39,800 Speaker 2: I don't understand you know that some of these number 1327 01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:41,760 Speaker 2: of these people who are being picked up are active, there's 1328 01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,960 Speaker 2: active warrants on them. I mean, why are you out 1329 01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,680 Speaker 2: there defending someone who might very well be a I 1330 01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,080 Speaker 2: don't know, rapist or a murderer or you know what 1331 01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,840 Speaker 2: I mean, if you committed a serious crime. 1332 01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,200 Speaker 3: Uh, that's why ice needs to exist. 1333 01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:57,280 Speaker 2: The other side, of course, is you know, when I 1334 01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,760 Speaker 2: see people who are caught up in home depot or 1335 01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,040 Speaker 2: they're I don't know, some kid who was brought here, 1336 01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,920 Speaker 2: who is now now in his early thirties or twenties, 1337 01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:06,680 Speaker 2: who's brought here as a child, and we're sweeping them 1338 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,160 Speaker 2: up too. We have cases here as you know in Cincinnati. 1339 01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:11,480 Speaker 2: As an American that's troubling. Why why can't we get 1340 01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:12,800 Speaker 2: this right? It doesn't seem that hard. 1341 01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:16,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's different. I mean, we are a country 1342 01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:20,520 Speaker 5: of laws. Some people want them to be enforced. We 1343 01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:22,720 Speaker 5: know that if we break the laws, we're going to 1344 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 5: go to jail, or if we broke the immigration law, 1345 01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,120 Speaker 5: we be deported as well. So, you know, Americans just 1346 01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:34,000 Speaker 5: expect you know, our government. One of the key reasons 1347 01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,840 Speaker 5: that government is to protect the people. And our money 1348 01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:41,720 Speaker 5: is going everywhere else but protecting the people. You know, 1349 01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:45,520 Speaker 5: even you see Great Landsman has been you know, vigorous 1350 01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:49,439 Speaker 5: as far as taking money away from the local law 1351 01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:53,280 Speaker 5: enforcement for other pet projects. So we we just need 1352 01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:56,480 Speaker 5: to make sure that we're you know, and what I 1353 01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,720 Speaker 5: hope to do when I get to Congress is that 1354 01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,840 Speaker 5: a budget and put the tax dollars that are collected 1355 01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:07,280 Speaker 5: towards what is good and just and helped all American families, 1356 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:08,800 Speaker 5: including the baty on our streets. 1357 01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:13,960 Speaker 2: That's also part of the problem too, that you know, great, 1358 01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:16,720 Speaker 2: you're runing against Greg Landsman, and where's he specifically stood 1359 01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,640 Speaker 2: on on you mentioned stood where on ice? But there's 1360 01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,640 Speaker 2: a huge contrast here. I also look at it and go, 1361 01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:25,400 Speaker 2: all right, well, there are people who are getting jammed 1362 01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:27,800 Speaker 2: up who have been here for years illegally, yeah, certainly, 1363 01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:31,080 Speaker 2: but have contributed to society owned businesses, started families, have 1364 01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:34,400 Speaker 2: never been in trouble whatsoever. Is there a way? Is 1365 01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,400 Speaker 2: there is there a password for them in this whole thing, 1366 01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,320 Speaker 2: because I feel like that's the one being squeezed out. 1367 01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,560 Speaker 2: I think our sense of fair play as Americans says, okay, 1368 01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,680 Speaker 2: you came here illegally, but how have you conducted yourself 1369 01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:44,240 Speaker 2: ever since? 1370 01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,000 Speaker 3: Is that a Is that a non qualifier for you? 1371 01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:51,080 Speaker 5: Well, I think that that should be considered as something 1372 01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:54,920 Speaker 5: that you know, again, they they jumped ahead of people 1373 01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:59,600 Speaker 5: that are you know, inline following our legal immigration process, 1374 01:07:59,600 --> 01:08:02,120 Speaker 5: but certain they should be at the top of the 1375 01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:06,560 Speaker 5: list to stay in the country with proven you know, 1376 01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,880 Speaker 5: assimilation and being part of this part of our country 1377 01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,600 Speaker 5: and part of our communities and giving back to the communities. 1378 01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:17,320 Speaker 5: That those are the type of immigrants grids that we 1379 01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:21,519 Speaker 5: want in our country. So they you know, it's there 1380 01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:24,839 Speaker 5: should be a VA team process and that those people. 1381 01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,439 Speaker 5: But at the same time, I don't think they should 1382 01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:30,880 Speaker 5: get their citizenship and put be put ahead as people 1383 01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:33,519 Speaker 5: that are legally in the process. And I think there 1384 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,720 Speaker 5: is room for both. I just think each case needs 1385 01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:40,639 Speaker 5: to be considered, you know, carefully. But what's very clear 1386 01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:44,920 Speaker 5: is that people that are here illegally, that haven't assimilated, 1387 01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:52,800 Speaker 5: that are multiple defenders of product need to go. So yeah, 1388 01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:57,200 Speaker 5: so actually hear that. I you know, we're a very 1389 01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,439 Speaker 5: compassionate society. You know, we want to take care of people, 1390 01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:04,040 Speaker 5: and we want people to be treated with respect. And 1391 01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,960 Speaker 5: I appreciate those those immigrants that have come to our 1392 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,559 Speaker 5: country and worked hard and become part of what makes 1393 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:10,719 Speaker 5: our cities great. 1394 01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:12,800 Speaker 3: Holly Adams on that. 1395 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:14,880 Speaker 2: You know, the way I kind of think of it 1396 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,960 Speaker 2: is all right, you came here across the border illegally 1397 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:19,840 Speaker 2: in search of something you couldn't get where you're from, 1398 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,600 Speaker 2: or to escape poverty and violence and everything else, have 1399 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,000 Speaker 2: a chance at building a life. That to me is 1400 01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,560 Speaker 2: the American dream. You know, if we turn a blind 1401 01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:31,280 Speaker 2: eye towards immigration policies under Obama and under Biden, I'd 1402 01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:33,639 Speaker 2: have to say we also did the same under George 1403 01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:36,760 Speaker 2: Bush and Ronald Reagan. And so if that's the case, 1404 01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:39,439 Speaker 2: if that's the government going, we don't really care. I 1405 01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:40,840 Speaker 2: don't know how much of this is at the feet 1406 01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:42,920 Speaker 2: of the immigrants now in twenty twenty six, when it 1407 01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 2: wasn't a big deal ten, fifteen, twenty thirty years ago. 1408 01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean for decade. You know, other presidents 1409 01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:53,439 Speaker 5: have in Congress have pushed the can down the road 1410 01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:55,719 Speaker 5: to the point that, you know, we've got a big 1411 01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,280 Speaker 5: problem to deal with, especially after the four years and 1412 01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,439 Speaker 5: Joe Biden and the open border or so, it does 1413 01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:03,760 Speaker 5: need to be addressed. And like I said, you know, 1414 01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:07,720 Speaker 5: I'm willing, you know, as a taxpayer to fund the resources, 1415 01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:12,519 Speaker 5: whether it be ice or you know, uh uh betteam 1416 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,000 Speaker 5: of these other citizens that are here and been living 1417 01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:19,200 Speaker 5: here for a long time and our law citizens of 1418 01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:22,760 Speaker 5: our communities to see how they could have a past 1419 01:10:22,800 --> 01:10:26,320 Speaker 5: the citizenship while staying here. I think that is a 1420 01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,960 Speaker 5: totally fair thing to do. What I don't know, Scott, 1421 01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,320 Speaker 5: and maybe you do, but it's worth looking up statistics. 1422 01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,519 Speaker 5: I don't know what the uh the ratio of those 1423 01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:37,240 Speaker 5: people is, but I do believe that, you know, we 1424 01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:40,120 Speaker 5: need to get those people a chance again. I just 1425 01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,160 Speaker 5: want to respect that. You know, we are a nation 1426 01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,080 Speaker 5: of laws and we just haven't enforced followed them for 1427 01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,639 Speaker 5: so long. We have to get back to the four 1428 01:10:47,720 --> 01:10:50,760 Speaker 5: component that you know. We have laws, we follow them, 1429 01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:53,360 Speaker 5: and we want everybody that's in our country to be 1430 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:53,880 Speaker 5: following them. 1431 01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:56,040 Speaker 2: The only stat I guess I have is I know 1432 01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:58,840 Speaker 2: that immigrants tend to be more a law abiding than 1433 01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,960 Speaker 2: than natural born citizens here. But I want to move 1434 01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,719 Speaker 2: on because I think it is really good. Someone who's 1435 01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:08,360 Speaker 2: a more libertarian I think myself, is that the cry is, hey, 1436 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:10,559 Speaker 2: we're worried about the wrong three letters. It shouldn't be 1437 01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:14,160 Speaker 2: the ice that we fear. It should be the irs. 1438 01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:17,559 Speaker 2: Abolish the irs, which I absolutely love. Break that down. 1439 01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,679 Speaker 2: So what's your plan for eliminating the irs? Holly Adams 1440 01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,559 Speaker 2: and how do you and what replaces it for that matter. 1441 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,720 Speaker 5: Well, I mean the fact is, and you know, the 1442 01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:30,759 Speaker 5: country America existed for one hundred and fifty years without 1443 01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:34,680 Speaker 5: income past and at our roads, in our hospitals, in 1444 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:38,000 Speaker 5: our schools, and how we paid for those were through 1445 01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:42,040 Speaker 5: revenue of Paris and taxes on goods and services. So 1446 01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,920 Speaker 5: we have all of those same news streams right now, 1447 01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:49,880 Speaker 5: but we're additionally taking money out of the pockets and 1448 01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:53,160 Speaker 5: the bank accounts of hard working American citizens. And it's 1449 01:11:53,240 --> 01:11:57,760 Speaker 5: really we've overburdened them with taxation in this country. The 1450 01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:02,120 Speaker 5: advocate of eliminating the federal income packs, you know, I 1451 01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:05,599 Speaker 5: think a lot of because I do feel like I've 1452 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,880 Speaker 5: always enjoyed math. I love a good spreadsheet. I feel 1453 01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:10,559 Speaker 5: that if we go back and we look at the 1454 01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:14,720 Speaker 5: Constitution and we see the enumerated responsibilities of Congress and 1455 01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,840 Speaker 5: where Congress is supposed to be spending money, where our 1456 01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:21,719 Speaker 5: government is supposed to be spending money, we are over 1457 01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:25,240 Speaker 5: spending to the level that once we cross off that 1458 01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:29,400 Speaker 5: over spending, that we can pay for everything with tarifs, 1459 01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:33,160 Speaker 5: taxes on goods and services that we're already paying. And 1460 01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:37,560 Speaker 5: you know, the average The median income in Cincinnati is 1461 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:42,960 Speaker 5: about fifty three thousand dollars, So the income pack would 1462 01:12:42,960 --> 01:12:46,639 Speaker 5: put fifty six hundred dollars back in their pockets each year. 1463 01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,679 Speaker 5: That's fifty six thousand over ten years. That's a lot 1464 01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:52,840 Speaker 5: of money for a family that is struggling to you know, 1465 01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:54,960 Speaker 5: pay their energy bills. 1466 01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:56,479 Speaker 3: Well sure, sure, yeah, Holly. 1467 01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:58,160 Speaker 2: I know you want to go to Congress and represents 1468 01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:01,120 Speaker 2: at the federal level, but you know, the limited government element, 1469 01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,360 Speaker 2: it's tough for me as in you you live in Hamilton, 1470 01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:06,960 Speaker 2: is an Ohioan. I look at what's happening in the 1471 01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:09,599 Speaker 2: state House right now. I don't believe we have limited 1472 01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,840 Speaker 2: government in the de Wine administration. The latest example of that, 1473 01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:15,000 Speaker 2: and I can cite many. The most latest one, of course, 1474 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:19,400 Speaker 2: is this banning of THC infused beverages. That was a 1475 01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:21,960 Speaker 2: huge boon to the beer industry, and there's fighting this 1476 01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,840 Speaker 2: in court. But simply because Mike de Wine doesn't think 1477 01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:29,360 Speaker 2: people should be drinking THHC, that doesn't seem limited government 1478 01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:32,320 Speaker 2: to me. If it's literally hundreds of thousands of people 1479 01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:35,600 Speaker 2: enjoy this in millions across America enjoy this beverage responsibly, 1480 01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:37,920 Speaker 2: why would it be up to the governor. Simply they'll 1481 01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:39,960 Speaker 2: take his pen and veto all this and go no, 1482 01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:41,240 Speaker 2: I don't like it, therefore. 1483 01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,560 Speaker 3: You shouldn't have it. That's exact opposite of limited. 1484 01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:47,559 Speaker 5: Government, absolutely, and I don't agree with that, Scott. I mean, 1485 01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:50,360 Speaker 5: I feel that we need to get rid of both 1486 01:13:50,479 --> 01:13:54,479 Speaker 5: government overreach in every aspect of our life. And you know, 1487 01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:56,920 Speaker 5: we need we need to go back to what our 1488 01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:58,280 Speaker 5: founding fathers intended. 1489 01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:02,280 Speaker 8: You know, a country where you know, people you know, 1490 01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:05,759 Speaker 8: go to work, they're personally responsible for themselves as their families, 1491 01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:08,960 Speaker 8: and the government stays you know, out of their health 1492 01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:12,760 Speaker 8: care and out of their pocketbooks and allows them to 1493 01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:13,839 Speaker 8: live you know, freely. 1494 01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:17,080 Speaker 5: And again both parties, I think we have an epidemic 1495 01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:24,320 Speaker 5: of an epidemic of constitutional overreach, right and government overreach 1496 01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:28,280 Speaker 5: across our country. And again it's across both parties. But 1497 01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:32,640 Speaker 5: if you're looking at somebody to come in and be 1498 01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:37,240 Speaker 5: a fisful responsibility both person you know, those people right 1499 01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 5: now are within the Republican Party and that's what I 1500 01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:42,760 Speaker 5: want to do. But you know, to accomplish what we 1501 01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:45,120 Speaker 5: need to in Congress, we need about three hundred and 1502 01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:50,919 Speaker 5: eighty more people that's dedicated to and again not shrinking 1503 01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:53,439 Speaker 5: our government to what it's not supposed to be, but 1504 01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:54,320 Speaker 5: right sizing it. 1505 01:14:54,439 --> 01:14:56,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I could see. I could see it while 1506 01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:57,000 Speaker 3: at the job. 1507 01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:59,479 Speaker 2: Holly, it doesn't seem like from this from my perch, 1508 01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:01,759 Speaker 2: you're kind actually does any much of anything. 1509 01:15:01,800 --> 01:15:04,080 Speaker 3: It seems like a pretty easy job. I mean, show 1510 01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:04,360 Speaker 3: it up. 1511 01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:08,840 Speaker 2: You're shutting government down and essentially rule by executive order 1512 01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:10,200 Speaker 2: seems to be the flavor of the day. 1513 01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:14,439 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you know, you've mentioned the overspending, and you 1514 01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:17,680 Speaker 5: mentioned being a libertarian, and you know we want, you know, 1515 01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:20,840 Speaker 5: freedom from the government. We want a limited government. And 1516 01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:23,920 Speaker 5: I'm a follower of the John Bird Society and I 1517 01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:26,719 Speaker 5: love the Freedom Index they put out. Well, I recently 1518 01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:31,479 Speaker 5: looked at their and again that evaluates, just for your 1519 01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:34,280 Speaker 5: listeners that might not know, they go a couple of 1520 01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:37,040 Speaker 5: kids a year and they evaluate all the Congressmen and 1521 01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:40,719 Speaker 5: senators on their last ten votes and how those votes 1522 01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:44,800 Speaker 5: aligned with constitutional the Constitution was a constitution or not 1523 01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,920 Speaker 5: and a four hundred and thirty five members of Congress, 1524 01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:53,479 Speaker 5: only fifty five are getting a's or b getting eighty 1525 01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:57,479 Speaker 5: percent or aligned with the constudents. That means like you 1526 01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:01,559 Speaker 5: just said, people sit around doing nothing, not doing the 1527 01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:03,800 Speaker 5: work that needs to be done to protect the American 1528 01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:08,200 Speaker 5: people and make things affordable gainst you know what seventeen 1529 01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:13,880 Speaker 5: what I say, seventeen percent eight thirteen percent, So that's 1530 01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:18,479 Speaker 5: thirteen percent eighty seven of Congress that both sides are 1531 01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:22,800 Speaker 5: getting seas and out. We're paying these people six figures 1532 01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:25,679 Speaker 5: about two hundred thousand dollars a year and free health 1533 01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:30,080 Speaker 5: care to fail us. So we really need to step 1534 01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:33,559 Speaker 5: up as a country, you know, as citizens and both 1535 01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:37,400 Speaker 5: in people that truly understand what it's going to take 1536 01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:41,920 Speaker 5: to get the government out of our business and decres 1537 01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:45,439 Speaker 5: spending so the cost of living goes down and we 1538 01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:49,479 Speaker 5: have more opportunity for our family. So I'm one of 1539 01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:52,679 Speaker 5: those three hundred and eighty people that want the philiity 1540 01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:55,920 Speaker 5: to do that. But until the vote right and some 1541 01:16:56,360 --> 01:17:00,120 Speaker 5: constitutionalists and fisicily conservative people to Congress, it's not to 1542 01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:05,439 Speaker 5: get done. And the Republicans need to replace the people 1543 01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:10,080 Speaker 5: in our party that are over spending and not getting 1544 01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:13,680 Speaker 5: the work done too.

I mean, there is some 1596 01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:30,280 Speaker 9: optimism in the markets right now, and I think every 1597 01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:32,719 Speaker 9: investor is really hanging on the words of Donald Trump 1598 01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:35,759 Speaker 9: and the Trump administration, and you know, it changes daily 1599 01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:38,720 Speaker 9: and it changes even hourly, and essentially, you know, the 1600 01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:41,439 Speaker 9: markets are feeling pretty good this morning because Trump said that, 1601 01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:45,040 Speaker 9: you know, we might see an end to this conflict 1602 01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 9: in Iran even before the straight of war moves is open. Now, 1603 01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:51,280 Speaker 9: you know, we did see a couple shipping tankers from 1604 01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:52,759 Speaker 9: China that we're able to get through. 1605 01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:53,120 Speaker 8: Now. 1606 01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:56,519 Speaker 9: China is a partner with Iran generally, So you know, 1607 01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:57,559 Speaker 9: does that tell us a lot? 1608 01:19:57,720 --> 01:19:58,400 Speaker 1: Not really. 1609 01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:00,880 Speaker 9: But I think when you look at the markets in 1610 01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:04,040 Speaker 9: general and you look at the fundamentals, you know, overall 1611 01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:06,760 Speaker 9: we haven't seen a lot of change in the fundamentals 1612 01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:10,439 Speaker 9: from a market standpoint. The technical analysis is still pretty good. 1613 01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:13,360 Speaker 9: The fundamental analysis is pretty good. And the other thing 1614 01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:16,439 Speaker 9: that you've seen is that the Brent crude oil has 1615 01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:18,840 Speaker 9: dropped below one hundred and ten dollars a barrel, and 1616 01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:20,280 Speaker 9: a lot of people say, well, you know, what is 1617 01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:22,280 Speaker 9: Brent crude. You know, why is that a thing? Well, 1618 01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:26,000 Speaker 9: you know, here in the United States, we basically mark 1619 01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,920 Speaker 9: our prices to the West Texas creud, and that's what 1620 01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,080 Speaker 9: we generally see here in the United States. But the 1621 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,559 Speaker 9: Brent crud is more of a national and global type 1622 01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:37,960 Speaker 9: of benchmark, and that comes from the North Sea, which 1623 01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:43,800 Speaker 9: is near Norway, Sweden, Finland, those types of areas, and 1624 01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:46,680 Speaker 9: that's a sweeter crew that is used more globally. And 1625 01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:48,720 Speaker 9: so what you're seeing is is that a lot of 1626 01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:50,680 Speaker 9: these other nations are starting to say, hey, we have 1627 01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:53,519 Speaker 9: a decent amount of supply. We think that we can 1628 01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:55,599 Speaker 9: you know, manage a lot of this and really kind 1629 01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:57,280 Speaker 9: of get through it. And that's why you've seen Brent 1630 01:20:57,320 --> 01:20:59,800 Speaker 9: crud start to go down to one under uneath a 1631 01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:02,719 Speaker 9: hundred and dollars barrel, and the markets responded favorably. 1632 01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:06,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think we were seeing actually the price 1633 01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:07,280 Speaker 2: of gas drop a little bit here. 1634 01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:07,600 Speaker 3: I believe it. 1635 01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:11,080 Speaker 2: I saw it what like three three forty or something yesterday. 1636 01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:12,920 Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, that dropped a lot really quickly. Is 1637 01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:15,040 Speaker 2: when it was driving that whole thing and you know, 1638 01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:16,640 Speaker 2: hero those doom and gloom, you know, it's gonna be 1639 01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:18,760 Speaker 2: as a it's a rough month for Wall Street, and 1640 01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:21,599 Speaker 2: you know, food and groceries. The war's pushing up prices 1641 01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,680 Speaker 2: for farmers because the fertilizer costs are going up, and 1642 01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:27,400 Speaker 2: then we have the tariffs and energy going in there too, 1643 01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,760 Speaker 2: leading the bigger bills at the grocery store. We're going 1644 01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:32,080 Speaker 2: to talk mortgage rates here in a second, and we're 1645 01:21:32,080 --> 01:21:33,920 Speaker 2: supposed to turn a corner this year, but now there's 1646 01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:36,680 Speaker 2: a big question mark there and Asia in Europe, as 1647 01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:39,559 Speaker 2: you mentioned too, it's kind of a black Swan event 1648 01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:43,280 Speaker 2: because no one's immune to this whole thing. Gods to 1649 01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:46,920 Speaker 2: where you're standing with Iran, everyone's getting hurt by this 1650 01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:47,799 Speaker 2: around the globe. 1651 01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:51,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, and you've seen some complacency across the markets. There's 1652 01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:54,080 Speaker 9: really not a whole lot of capitulation whatsoever to be 1653 01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:58,560 Speaker 9: found in flows or volumes or fundamentals or technical analysis. 1654 01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:01,479 Speaker 9: And despite you know, some of these things that are 1655 01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:04,360 Speaker 9: going on, you know that investors generally are just looking 1656 01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:05,000 Speaker 9: for clues. 1657 01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:07,200 Speaker 3: And what we're trying to figure out is, you know, 1658 01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:07,599 Speaker 3: what does. 1659 01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:10,559 Speaker 9: It look like in Iran? Does it feel like it's coming, 1660 01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:12,880 Speaker 9: you know, to a crescendo? Does it feel like that 1661 01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:15,120 Speaker 9: we're coming to some type of agreement with Iran, and 1662 01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,080 Speaker 9: I think generally over the last couple of days, the 1663 01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:19,920 Speaker 9: answer is yes. And so when you have stock prices 1664 01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:23,240 Speaker 9: that have fallen so significantly over the last few weeks, 1665 01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:26,360 Speaker 9: you're starting to see a lot of bargains. And history 1666 01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:31,040 Speaker 9: shows if you're smart about understanding volume, volatility, et cetera, 1667 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:32,800 Speaker 9: if you're able to buy the dip, it's going to 1668 01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:34,320 Speaker 9: pay off for you in the long run. And so 1669 01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:36,439 Speaker 9: I think that's what we're seeing right now is that 1670 01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:39,040 Speaker 9: investors are thinking, Okay, well, the fundamentals are still good. 1671 01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:41,320 Speaker 9: If we can get this wrapped up, this is probably 1672 01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:43,160 Speaker 9: a good place to buy. And that's why you've seen 1673 01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:45,600 Speaker 9: the markets run, you know, a little bit yesterday, and 1674 01:22:45,640 --> 01:22:47,320 Speaker 9: we're starting to see that a little bit today as well. 1675 01:22:47,400 --> 01:22:50,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense, And it's as you said, it's 1676 01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:52,360 Speaker 2: so hard to believe what the truth is because Trump 1677 01:22:52,360 --> 01:22:54,960 Speaker 2: says he's negotiating, and Pakistan says we're going to do 1678 01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,200 Speaker 2: and then Iran says, well, you're negotiating with yourself. 1679 01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:58,400 Speaker 3: You're not talking to anyone. 1680 01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,280 Speaker 2: At one point, hey, it looks optimistic they're going to 1681 01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,680 Speaker 2: wind you know, pulling, not maybe getting troops on the 1682 01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,040 Speaker 2: ground there, although we've brought about ten thousand more to 1683 01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:09,840 Speaker 2: the region. But at the same time, then we're talking 1684 01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:13,519 Speaker 2: about maybe bombing their power plants, which would probably, I guess, 1685 01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:16,680 Speaker 2: cause gas and oil to skyrocket, would it not? So 1686 01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:20,240 Speaker 2: Wall Street right now is bullsh and believing what the 1687 01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:22,960 Speaker 2: White House says at this point. If that turns out 1688 01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:24,280 Speaker 2: to be untrue, what happens then. 1689 01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:27,840 Speaker 9: Well, and I think if if that becomes untrue, then 1690 01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:30,160 Speaker 9: we can start to see inflation, you know, creep in 1691 01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:33,160 Speaker 9: you know, more systemically, And I think that's what everybody 1692 01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:34,840 Speaker 9: is trying to bet on right now. Does it look 1693 01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:36,320 Speaker 9: like this is going to be a problem for the 1694 01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:38,800 Speaker 9: next few months. Does it feel like it's going to 1695 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:40,639 Speaker 9: be wrapped up in the next four to six weeks? 1696 01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,599 Speaker 9: Like the Trump administration continues to say that, you know 1697 01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:45,960 Speaker 9: that that's their timeline, and you know, if it does 1698 01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:49,640 Speaker 9: continue to continue on, you know, we can see the 1699 01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:51,720 Speaker 9: FED start to take notice on this. And you know, 1700 01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:54,160 Speaker 9: we we've heard FED chairman pout basically say, hey, we're 1701 01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:56,680 Speaker 9: not really you know, too concerned about it right now, 1702 01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:58,880 Speaker 9: but if it continues, we might have to switch gears 1703 01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:00,880 Speaker 9: and start to raise interest rate, and certainly that's not 1704 01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:03,960 Speaker 9: what anybody wants. When we look at futures and we 1705 01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,800 Speaker 9: look at what it looks like from an interest rate standpoint, Yes, 1706 01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,960 Speaker 9: it's probably still likely that we see an interest rate 1707 01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:13,400 Speaker 9: cut maybe in June, maybe one or two this year. 1708 01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:16,320 Speaker 9: But you know, if this continues to go on and 1709 01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:19,040 Speaker 9: the Trump administration doesn't have a way to get out 1710 01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,760 Speaker 9: of this, we can see interstrates maybe even tick up, 1711 01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:23,479 Speaker 9: and you know that's going to have an impact on 1712 01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,599 Speaker 9: the housing market. That's going to have an impact on borrowing. 1713 01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:28,280 Speaker 9: It's also going to have an impact on corporate spending 1714 01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:30,800 Speaker 9: as well, because money becomes a little bit more expensive, 1715 01:24:30,840 --> 01:24:33,599 Speaker 9: and you know, if that happens, we can probably see 1716 01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:36,320 Speaker 9: the potential for a recession risk continue to creep up 1717 01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:36,639 Speaker 9: as well. 1718 01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:39,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to be optimistic inside with the President 1719 01:24:39,040 --> 01:24:40,840 Speaker 2: on this and Withdlald Trump and say, look, I think 1720 01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:42,720 Speaker 2: that there's going to be an amicable solution here. What 1721 01:24:42,720 --> 01:24:44,320 Speaker 2: that looks like down the line, if it makes the 1722 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:46,439 Speaker 2: region more unstable to run more and stable, we don't know. 1723 01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:50,480 Speaker 2: But a more peaceful settlement then just comes completely obliterating 1724 01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:52,640 Speaker 2: the entire country or the region it's not going to 1725 01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:54,840 Speaker 2: be good for anyone, and it's going to make things 1726 01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:57,360 Speaker 2: much much worse. It's just a this is a classic 1727 01:24:57,400 --> 01:24:59,400 Speaker 2: foggle war moment, is what this is, right. 1728 01:24:59,560 --> 01:25:02,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, it and I think that you know, the you know, 1729 01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:04,720 Speaker 9: as Americans, we have a lot of leverage over there. 1730 01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,200 Speaker 9: Right now, it's pretty secure. I mean, we have a 1731 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,840 Speaker 9: ten warthog over there, we have Apache helicopters. They're trying 1732 01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:12,840 Speaker 9: to secure the straight of Horror moves. Right now, we're 1733 01:25:12,880 --> 01:25:15,080 Speaker 9: starting to see some ships be able to get in. 1734 01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:17,599 Speaker 9: There's still a delay as far as what Donald Trump says, 1735 01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:21,360 Speaker 9: until at least April sixth before we start hitting their infrastructure. 1736 01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:23,400 Speaker 9: And you know, what we don't want to do is 1737 01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:26,639 Speaker 9: impact the civilians in Iran. And we start to hit 1738 01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:30,160 Speaker 9: the energy infrastructure of Iran, that will certainly impact the 1739 01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:33,040 Speaker 9: civilians over there. So the clock is ticking. 1740 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:33,960 Speaker 1: You know. 1741 01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:37,320 Speaker 9: Investors generally right now are feeling that there is you know, 1742 01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:39,439 Speaker 9: an end of this tunnel and we're starting to see 1743 01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:40,920 Speaker 9: the light at the end of it and. 1744 01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:41,840 Speaker 3: We'll see how it goes. 1745 01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:43,360 Speaker 9: But right now, I think there is a little bit 1746 01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:46,080 Speaker 9: of optimism and you know, obviously the markets are reflecting 1747 01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:46,800 Speaker 9: that all. 1748 01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:49,639 Speaker 2: Right, So in the last what roughly twenty five plus years, 1749 01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:52,439 Speaker 2: we saw a tech bubble, we saw financial crisis, we 1750 01:25:52,479 --> 01:25:56,120 Speaker 2: saw the housing meltdown, we saw COVID, and all sorts 1751 01:25:56,160 --> 01:26:00,759 Speaker 2: of geopolitical events that in history is always as indicator 1752 01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:04,439 Speaker 2: of future behavior. That's a very very true statement in 1753 01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:05,920 Speaker 2: that regard. What do we see here? 1754 01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:06,720 Speaker 1: What? 1755 01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:09,480 Speaker 2: What are the average pullbacks in those rough times? 1756 01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:12,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean we usually see somewhere between ten and 1757 01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:15,880 Speaker 9: twenty percent. You know, a correction is defined by a 1758 01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:18,800 Speaker 9: ten percent pullback in the markets in general. You know, 1759 01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:21,160 Speaker 9: right now we're probably about eight percent down from where 1760 01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:24,200 Speaker 9: we were in January, you know, so you know, in 1761 01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:26,120 Speaker 9: the big scheme of things, it's not really that much. 1762 01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:28,439 Speaker 9: If you have a moderate portfolio, let's say a sixty 1763 01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:31,760 Speaker 9: percent stock portfolios, forty percent bonds, you know, maybe you're 1764 01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:33,680 Speaker 9: only down three percent for the year. And so you 1765 01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:37,120 Speaker 9: don't want to overreact to these types of geopolitical turmoil 1766 01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:39,400 Speaker 9: events because we go through these all the time. I've 1767 01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:42,120 Speaker 9: been doing this for twenty seven years, and I've been 1768 01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:44,040 Speaker 9: through a lot of it. I started in the late nineties, 1769 01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:46,360 Speaker 9: you know, during the tech boom and nine to eleven 1770 01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:49,879 Speaker 9: et cetera. You know, even more recently when Russia invaded Ukraine. 1771 01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:51,719 Speaker 9: You know, that's kind of a blip on the radar 1772 01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:53,840 Speaker 9: right now, but that's still going on. And at the 1773 01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:55,840 Speaker 9: end of the day, it's about the consumer in the 1774 01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,320 Speaker 9: United States. As long as unemployment is low and we 1775 01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:00,800 Speaker 9: have the ability to earn a way age, you know, 1776 01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:03,600 Speaker 9: we're really what drives the market, Scott's and as you know, 1777 01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:06,200 Speaker 9: as long as we continue to be productive here, you know, 1778 01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:09,519 Speaker 9: small geopolitical issues really don't move the. 1779 01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:10,080 Speaker 3: Needle that much. 1780 01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:13,280 Speaker 2: All right, He's Andy Schaeffer from all Worth Financial jumping 1781 01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:15,640 Speaker 2: on this Tuesday Marning just a little bit of a 1782 01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:19,080 Speaker 2: voice of reason and an over concerned world. It'll all 1783 01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:21,160 Speaker 2: balance out in the end, is what you're saying. Just 1784 01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:23,000 Speaker 2: give it a little bit of time, a little bit 1785 01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:26,240 Speaker 2: of time on that I mentioned earlier. They fed left 1786 01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:29,599 Speaker 2: interest rates unchanged. They've been kind of creeping higher lately 1787 01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:32,680 Speaker 2: because of inflation and rising all prices. But what do 1788 01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:34,880 Speaker 2: economists believe the longer term rates are going to? 1789 01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:37,760 Speaker 9: Well, I think that it's likely we see maybe a 1790 01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:40,559 Speaker 9: quarter percent cut this year, maybe two by you know, 1791 01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:44,040 Speaker 9: Midsummer next year. You know, some of those expectations have 1792 01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:46,920 Speaker 9: shifted though. I mean just four weeks ago, markets were 1793 01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,679 Speaker 9: pretty confident that we would see two quarter percent cut 1794 01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:52,880 Speaker 9: rates this year and that's kind of flipped to about 1795 01:27:53,040 --> 01:27:55,840 Speaker 9: maybe a twenty five percent chance that we get one hike. 1796 01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:59,240 Speaker 9: So you know, that big swing right now is based 1797 01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,280 Speaker 9: on you know, what's going on in the straight horror moves, 1798 01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:04,360 Speaker 9: the concerns with energy prices, you know, from a global standpoint, 1799 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:06,559 Speaker 9: and so you know, it's it's a good example of 1800 01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:09,679 Speaker 9: how marcuts really try to process uncertainty in real time. 1801 01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:11,680 Speaker 9: And we can see this happening if you watch the 1802 01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:14,080 Speaker 9: markets on a daily basis, or you hear what the 1803 01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:15,920 Speaker 9: FED has to say, and a lot of the Fed 1804 01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 9: Committee members they like to you know, have their press. 1805 01:28:18,320 --> 01:28:19,080 Speaker 3: Conference as well. 1806 01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:21,760 Speaker 9: This is ongoing and I think the I think the 1807 01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:25,320 Speaker 9: takeaway here is, you know, really stick to your financial 1808 01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:27,160 Speaker 9: plan and what you're trying to get accomplished. A lot 1809 01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:29,720 Speaker 9: of times when we look at, you know, our expectations 1810 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:32,719 Speaker 9: or assumptions for you know, our clients, you're you're figuring, 1811 01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,679 Speaker 9: you know, in a modern portfolio about seven percent average 1812 01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:37,599 Speaker 9: hand of your return per year well over the last 1813 01:28:37,640 --> 01:28:38,200 Speaker 9: three years. 1814 01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:38,840 Speaker 1: You know, those. 1815 01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:42,519 Speaker 9: Accounts have probably returned thirteen, fourteen, fifteen percent over the 1816 01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:45,000 Speaker 9: last three years equally. And so if we do go 1817 01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:47,080 Speaker 9: down a little bit this year, and I still believe 1818 01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:49,240 Speaker 9: that we'll probably end up on the higher end of 1819 01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:51,040 Speaker 9: that by the end of the year. But if we 1820 01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:53,120 Speaker 9: do go down a little bit this year, that's figured 1821 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:56,240 Speaker 9: into most financial plans. You have to understand that. You know, 1822 01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:58,559 Speaker 9: that's something that we take into account, and it's something 1823 01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:00,519 Speaker 9: you should make sure that you stick to and not 1824 01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:03,040 Speaker 9: get caught up in the minutia of the data day 1825 01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:04,599 Speaker 9: headlines because it'll drive you crazy. 1826 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:07,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's trying to process an uncertainty on 1827 01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:10,040 Speaker 2: an hourly byerly basis. Should be day to day now 1828 01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:11,200 Speaker 2: it's like minute by minute. 1829 01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:15,080 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, And you know, and Donald Trump really likes 1830 01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:17,559 Speaker 9: to say a lot of things. You know, it makes 1831 01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:19,920 Speaker 9: you know, it's like, you know, it makes my job 1832 01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:20,679 Speaker 9: a little bit harder. 1833 01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:22,360 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, things are going pretty good. 1834 01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:23,160 Speaker 1: None, they're not. 1835 01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:25,200 Speaker 9: You know, we can't you know, we're bombing again. 1836 01:29:25,320 --> 01:29:26,439 Speaker 1: Maybe we're not. Well. 1837 01:29:26,680 --> 01:29:29,400 Speaker 9: You know, investors are generally irrational by nature, and they 1838 01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:30,439 Speaker 9: respond to these things. 1839 01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:34,559 Speaker 2: So the two thirty pm Trump in the White House 1840 01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:37,800 Speaker 2: should talk to the two thirty am trump On on 1841 01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:39,760 Speaker 2: social media, on driven through social. 1842 01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:41,400 Speaker 9: Well, I think he probably wills to talk to me 1843 01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:44,639 Speaker 9: on mondays I can give him some advice. 1844 01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:46,000 Speaker 3: The swings are unreal. 1845 01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:49,400 Speaker 2: So once it settles down and enery places are stabilizing, 1846 01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:50,880 Speaker 2: we're shifting back. 1847 01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:53,200 Speaker 3: To rate cuts basically as the bottom line, I think so. 1848 01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:56,400 Speaker 9: And you know, as we do come to some sort 1849 01:29:56,479 --> 01:30:00,559 Speaker 9: of resolution here, you know, we'll probably see somewhere rate cuts. 1850 01:30:00,640 --> 01:30:02,960 Speaker 9: If it's likely that oil prices start to fall, if 1851 01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:05,400 Speaker 9: we start to get into the low nineties, that probably 1852 01:30:05,439 --> 01:30:07,960 Speaker 9: will continue on into maybe we see sixty dollars a 1853 01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:11,000 Speaker 9: barrow again in the summertime. And if we do see that, 1854 01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,360 Speaker 9: the markets are going to rebound quite a bit. You know, 1855 01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:15,559 Speaker 9: when we look at the price earnings ratio on stocks, 1856 01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:17,720 Speaker 9: and that's a measurement of value, and you know how 1857 01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:20,719 Speaker 9: expensive is the stock versus you know, what they're really earning. 1858 01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,920 Speaker 9: The forward looking pet right now is about twenty and 1859 01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:26,920 Speaker 9: that is a pretty good moniker of saying, hey, things 1860 01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:29,080 Speaker 9: are you know, a pretty good bye right now. And so, 1861 01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:32,800 Speaker 9: you know, people are trying to find deals in the marketplace, 1862 01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:36,200 Speaker 9: whether it's a specific sector in technology or energy or 1863 01:30:36,520 --> 01:30:39,599 Speaker 9: consumer staples. And I think that you know, if you're 1864 01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:41,240 Speaker 9: not in the market, now is the time to get 1865 01:30:41,240 --> 01:30:41,519 Speaker 9: back in. 1866 01:30:41,680 --> 01:30:42,400 Speaker 3: Okay, very good. 1867 01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:44,760 Speaker 2: And of course coming up this I believe Friday is 1868 01:30:44,760 --> 01:30:46,000 Speaker 2: the jobs report comes out. 1869 01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:48,280 Speaker 9: Yeah, we got a lot of you know, information that 1870 01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:49,840 Speaker 9: comes out this week. You know we're going to have 1871 01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:54,719 Speaker 9: jobs report. Certainly, you know we're going to get retail sales. 1872 01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:57,280 Speaker 9: That's going to be a delayed report that's coming out tomorrow. 1873 01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:00,679 Speaker 9: That's going to be important ism manufacturing. Know, we probably 1874 01:31:00,760 --> 01:31:03,680 Speaker 9: are looking at a little expansion there, which is also good. 1875 01:31:04,320 --> 01:31:06,760 Speaker 9: And really Friday is the big big one. We're going 1876 01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:10,439 Speaker 9: to get us hourly wages, the unemployment rate, and so 1877 01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:12,040 Speaker 9: that's going to be important to tell us, you know, 1878 01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:14,080 Speaker 9: where we are from a labor standpoint, because at the 1879 01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:15,479 Speaker 9: end of the day, as long as we have the 1880 01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:18,960 Speaker 9: ability to make money that contributes to consumer spending and 1881 01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:19,920 Speaker 9: also retail sales. 1882 01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:21,920 Speaker 2: All right, So your guess, good as anybody's, what the 1883 01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:23,080 Speaker 2: job report is going to show. 1884 01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:26,000 Speaker 9: I think it's probably going to be somewhere where we are. 1885 01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:27,680 Speaker 9: I think that's probably we're going to be about four 1886 01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:30,320 Speaker 9: point four percent in the unemployment rate. We're probably going 1887 01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:33,160 Speaker 9: to look at a little bit of additional jobs, maybe 1888 01:31:33,240 --> 01:31:37,360 Speaker 9: fifty nine thousand additional jobs. Hourly wages will probably rise 1889 01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:40,120 Speaker 9: a little bit, maybe point three percent, maybe forty percent. 1890 01:31:40,479 --> 01:31:42,840 Speaker 9: And if that's true, if that holds true, that's going 1891 01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:45,160 Speaker 9: to be positive for the markets as well, because it 1892 01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:47,719 Speaker 9: basically represents a stable economy. 1893 01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:49,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I got it all right. So that is 1894 01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:51,200 Speaker 3: on Friday, all those things as well. 1895 01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:54,240 Speaker 2: He's Andy Shaeffer at all Worth Financial, our weekly money 1896 01:31:54,400 --> 01:31:56,680 Speaker 2: tune up here, and he's got you covered.
