1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: Do you want to be in a Manican. 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 2: Here we go on this Monday morning, Scott Slow seven 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 2: hundred WLW in that Sunday was felt like work watching 4 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 2: the Bengals yesterday. Didn't like I worked maybe six seven 5 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 2: days this week. Uh, we'll get in that a little 6 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 2: bit of course, James or James rappeen. It will be 7 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 2: here to recap that a little bit later on in 8 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: the show. Lots going on, including this. We're blowing up 9 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 2: suspected drug boats off foreign countries, off the coast of 10 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 2: foreign countries. And we have yet another piece plan in 11 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 2: the Middle East, and this one seems like to be 12 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 2: the one. This is the one that who knows could 13 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 2: get Trump the Nobel Prize? Is this the deal that 14 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 2: finally stops the carnage in Palestine and Israel? 15 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 3: On? 16 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: That is a Captain Ed Glryan. He is a US 17 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: Navy Seal team seven times over, team leader, decorated Special 18 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: Ops Task Force commander, US Army Ranger, long decorated career, 19 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: serving this nation in a very rare seal And are 20 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 2: you a US Army Ranger marriage which often doesn't happen? 21 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: Captain Ed, good morning, how are you sir? 22 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 4: Good morning? Scott, Good morning the listeners. Well, we'll be 23 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 4: a lot better if we get this rain that's coming through. 24 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 4: We need a drink down here on the farm. 25 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: I believe that, no doubt about it. Let me outline 26 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 2: what happened over the weekend here if you're just plugging 27 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: back in this morning. So this happened late in the 28 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 2: week with President Trump announcing a peace plan in the 29 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 2: Middle East. So as of Saturday, the Israeli military has 30 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: shifted to defensive operations in Gaza, stop their airstrikes beyond 31 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 2: what those are needed for force protection, I guess. According 32 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 2: to the IDF, the Israeli Prime Minister net Yahou confirmed 33 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: he halted the offensive. Said, Okay, we're gonna engage in 34 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: the Trump plan here and engage in indirect negotiations between Israel. 35 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 2: They're going to sit down I guess Israel Hamas and 36 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 2: start talking today in Egypt, and the peace plan would 37 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: be enacted once all forty eight hostages are returned to 38 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 2: Israeli territory and if they're not released by the deadline, 39 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: then they'll zoom fighting again. So it's still relative tentative, 40 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: and we've heard this before. We're so close to peace 41 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 2: we've got peace, and then peace erodes rather abruptly. What 42 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 2: should we expect from what's happening right now? 43 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 4: Ed? Well, a good wrap upon that. Ever elusive is 44 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 4: the piece with them off. But something we have to 45 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 4: remember as we watched this from the distance is they 46 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 4: are not a nation state. They're a terrorist group with 47 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 4: an armed faction. So they have a political element that's 48 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 4: doing the discussions, which is not always in alignment with 49 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 4: the fighters that are on the ground and Gaza accordingly, 50 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 4: that could be the long pole in the tent. But 51 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 4: regardless of that, great credit has got to be given 52 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 4: to the administration because this is like a mensa game 53 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 4: underwater at night. It is difficult to get all this 54 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 4: lined up. Could I talk about sort of where we're at? Yeah, 55 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 4: the final piece is these final few hostages. Now, remember 56 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 4: there was what back in February, three hundred and sixty 57 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 4: nine or so Palestinian prisoners were released just for three 58 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 4: Israeli hostages. Earlier in the SEASCAR. In January of twenty 59 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 4: twenty five, Israel had already released over one thousand Palestinians 60 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 4: for thirty three Israeli hostages. Some were deceased and some 61 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 4: were alive. There had been some other one offse that 62 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 4: occurred in there, but now the totals well over one 63 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,679 Speaker 4: thousand Palestinian prisoners have been released. Remember they were captured 64 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 4: and many of them had life sentences for very serious 65 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 4: crimes and such in Israel. And as part of the 66 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 4: President's twenty point Godza peace proposal, there is the final 67 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 4: exchange of about a forty eight prisoners many deceased, for 68 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 4: about nearly two thousand Palestinian prisoners. This is going to 69 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 4: be a very difficult, hard move by the final armed 70 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 4: elements of Hamas because that's their last bargaining chip. And 71 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 4: I want to add this. Remember one of the key 72 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 4: elements is they have to agree to verifying disarmorment. They 73 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 4: have to disarm ergo I would say, oh, there's one 74 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 4: other piece we have to remember here, Scott. Our adversaries 75 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 4: watched the calendar. You know what tomorrow is. It's the 76 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 4: second anniversary of the Hamas attacks. Basically a slaughter. Over 77 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 4: twelve hundred folks died there during that attack, a brutal slaughter, 78 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 4: and they love to celebrate those dates. I know to 79 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 4: the US listening audience, it doesn't always make sense for 80 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 4: to them it's a strategic victory. They use it for 81 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 4: recruiting and for fundraising. So we are in the shadow 82 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 4: of the eve of the second anniversary. So it is 83 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 4: going to be interesting how things develop in the next 84 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 4: twenty four to forty eight hours in that setting, scot. 85 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 2: And how does how do you disarm Hamas? How do 86 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 2: you trust them? How do you demobilize them? It's a 87 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 2: terrorist organization. It's not like it's you know, somebody's going 88 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: to lay their sword down at the feet and they're 89 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: going to sign the agreement on a deck of a 90 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 2: US battleship in the middle of the Pacific, like the 91 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: end of World War Two. 92 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 1: That's not happening here. How do you determine that? 93 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 4: Well, you hit the nail on the head. And that's 94 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 4: why I started out. They're not a nation state, and 95 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 4: they're very factioned, so to speak. You're going to have 96 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 4: hard l elements, even within the hard elements, so it 97 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: is going to be more than difficult. And then it 98 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 4: is going to require constant oversight and the systems, processes 99 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 4: and such in place to allow that monitoring. Accordingly, what 100 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 4: that would imply is there's gonna have to be a 101 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 4: sweep through Gaza to what we call cordon and clear, 102 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 4: completely cleared out, not unlike urban operations on the same 103 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 4: kind of you know, metropolitan city terrain, urban terrain during 104 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 4: World War two. You're gonna have to go through and 105 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 4: do a complete search. They're gonna have to agree to 106 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 4: that in some terms and some methods, but that is 107 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 4: very difficult because it pass this prologue. They have never 108 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 4: put those arms down. And when you add the fact 109 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 4: that these the prisoners that have been released, many of 110 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 4: them have gone back to fighting. 111 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: And this is all predicated on new leadership. This technocratic 112 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 2: group that's not autocratic, but technocratic group that's going to 113 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 2: come in. It's gonna take a while to establish a government. 114 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: Always does. And even when there's peace, aren't we going 115 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 2: to have just splinters and factions of a moss that 116 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: are not happy that they laid their arms down and 117 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: just start over and form an as a as a 118 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 2: splinter group and gross strength through power if they don't 119 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 2: see things moving as quickly as human nature. 120 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 4: Dictates, very likely, Scott, You're you're exactly right, they will 121 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 4: just nearly morph into the next chapter because they've been 122 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 4: raising by brainwashing. You know, basically that next generation. I 123 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 4: want to add something as well here. The move by 124 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 4: a number of nations to recognize in the Palestinian state 125 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 4: without having conditions set where you're going to have to 126 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 4: do this was probably ill advised. I'm no politician, I'm 127 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 4: a fifth generation farmer, career, military officer, combat arms For 128 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 4: the record, however, as a strategician, I would have advised 129 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 4: those leaders do not recognize them without conditions. We gave 130 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 4: it away. To your point, that was a leverage point. 131 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 4: We gave away scotten out the West, not the US. 132 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 4: We were against the Trump administration said bad idea, and 133 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 4: they were right on. Other nations gave that key bargain 134 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 4: and chip away where that would have given us the 135 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 4: leverage Scott to your point that they'll just go to 136 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 4: another chapter. 137 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: In this yeah, you would think that's the case. Now. 138 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: I think it's interesting too that a number of Middle 139 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: Eastern countries, significant countries have gotten together to support this 140 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: peace plan. Where's Iran on this, because they're the primary 141 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: sponsor of the terror we're talking about, or. 142 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 4: You better believe behind the scenes, they're going to do 143 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 4: everything may can to your point, to continue to arm Hamas, 144 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 4: to continue to support hamas to condition, to disrupt and destabilize, 145 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 4: because remember the long term play on this, Scott is, 146 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 4: this is like a tet offensive strategy. It was never 147 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 4: to defeat Israel or the US or the West. It 148 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 4: was to undermine our legitimacy in the world of publican opinion. 149 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 4: And they're popping the champagne bottles when some of those 150 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 4: countries recognize the Palestinian state. That was wholly ill advised 151 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 4: strategically speaking, to give that away. So so Iran is 152 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 4: definitely behind the scenes, you know, being the puppet map. 153 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: But then we just you mentioned the two state solution, 154 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 2: which has been evasive for longer than we've both been alive, 155 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: probably combined. Right, is it okay, we've got to recognize 156 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 2: Palestinian statehood. There's a lot of backlash to that. But 157 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: doesn't Trump's deal establish Palestinian statehood? 158 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: Does some agree? 159 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: Well, that remains to be seen. I mean, it's very 160 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 4: clever the way they'd line that up with the conditions 161 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 4: and twenty points. 162 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: Sounds like it's going to be a Palestinian country. So 163 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: it sounds like well, and. 164 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 4: I'll tell you this, and this is just strategic genius 165 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 4: of his approach. To rebuild goth in the same way 166 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 4: that that's how we really won World War two. That's 167 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 4: how we lost World War One. We did not rebuild Germany, right, 168 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 4: we did not rebuild it and you know, get rid 169 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 4: of that sentiment of resentment. But we did after World 170 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 4: War II with a Marshall Plan in Europe, and then 171 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 4: of course we did something similar out in Japan. So 172 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 4: it's just strategic genius. So certainly the administration has that 173 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 4: in the back of the map to bring the Arabs 174 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,119 Speaker 4: in and help rebuild it. Because you might notice there's 175 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 4: there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for 176 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 4: the Palestinians from the Arab nations writ large. Sometimes there's silence. 177 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 4: Is deafening, isn't it. 178 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: Oh, there's no question about it. There's no question. 179 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 2: And I think that you know, there's okay, tremendous pressure 180 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 2: from outside of Iran Middle Eastern countries. 181 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: Okay, let's get this thing done. 182 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: At the same time, I just saw this poll over 183 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: the weekend that six out of ten US Jews disapprove 184 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,679 Speaker 2: of Israel's handling the situation in Gaza, something like four 185 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 2: and ten call it outright genocide. And I think that's 186 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 2: maybe behind the scenes, maybe pushing Israel's hands somewhat. You know, 187 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 2: that's you know, we look at polling numbers and voter 188 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 2: support and things like that. And when a majority of 189 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 2: US Jews are saying, hey, you know it Israel's too 190 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: heavy handed with Gaza, I think that does get innat 191 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 2: Yan who's attention to some degree? 192 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: Or am I wrong? 193 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 5: Sure? 194 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 4: No, you're exactly right, and that they and again that 195 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 4: plays right into what I call the ted offensive strategy 196 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 4: was an evertent eat them tactically or operational is with 197 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 4: you is exactly what you just articulated to win win 198 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 4: the fight of public opinion, to include with not misinformation disinformation. 199 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 4: So with respect to that, you know, things are not 200 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 4: always what they seem, and what seems to be underreported 201 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 4: is just the brutality of the entire matter, you know, 202 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 4: to start with the slaughter, you know, and now two 203 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 4: years ago, no. 204 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: Question, he is retired US Navy Seal Captain ed galleryan 205 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: of course, fifth generation farmer in Kentucky. He was a 206 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 2: US Navy Seal team with them seven different teams for 207 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: that matter, Decorated Special Ops Task Force Commander, US Army 208 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 2: Ranger War college, and we're talking about what's going on 209 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 2: in the thele least right now and how close we 210 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 2: are to peace. What's your gut say about? This is 211 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: just another, just another than the ever evolving ed situations 212 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: there between. We we think we have peace this time, 213 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: and then at last, what like forty minutes and we 214 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 2: do this all over again, wash with How much more 215 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: confident are you in this approach than you were in 216 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: previous ones or. 217 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: Is it all the same. 218 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 4: No, I'm much more confident this time. However, Comma, I 219 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 4: do anticipate and I'm certain the administration has built this in. 220 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 4: There's going to be some disruptors. I refer to to 221 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 4: the You know, there's factions within the factions. There's going 222 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 4: to be some hard elements there called true believers. They're 223 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 4: not going to put their weapons down. You got to 224 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 4: factor that in. So it's very likely. And again it's 225 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 4: not a nation state. They do not have, you know, 226 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 4: your your typical vertical chain of command. You know II, sir, 227 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 4: we're going to do this and so forth and so on. 228 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 4: So because of those fractures, you can anticipate there's going 229 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 4: to be some especially with Iran behind the scenes, to 230 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 4: try to disrupt this because Iran does not want this 231 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 4: to happen. They do not want Pete. 232 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 2: Let me pivot to something else. And by the way, 233 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 2: I really believe that this can take hold. I don't 234 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: know how Trump doesn't win a Nobel Bright for this, 235 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: because that is something that previous presidents and the list 236 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: is too long to name, have tried to deal with 237 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: to the utmost failure. But something else that's going on 238 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 2: is the president has a policy of executing suspected drug 239 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 2: smugglers by declaring his targets are unlawful combatants are in 240 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 2: their I'm conflict of the United States. 241 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: Which is interesting. 242 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 2: He's ordered three attacks on speedboats in the Caribbean and 243 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 2: said they're carrying the legal drugs. I think seventeen total 244 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 2: people on those three craft were struck. What's the significance 245 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 2: of that of his order to strike drug boats including 246 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 2: a fourth in the past I believe a fourth in 247 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 2: the past few days for that matter, I said three, 248 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: but it's more up to four now from a military 249 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 2: analysts perspective. 250 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 1: What do you make of this? 251 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 4: Well, remember this I want for the listeners here. My 252 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 4: interest is usually safely in your beds and night. US 253 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 4: national security. So when I put on my US national 254 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 4: security glasses and the lens of it, these operations are 255 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 4: clearly intended as what's called as strategic disruption and destabilization 256 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 4: operation against US. They are gray zone warfare operations to 257 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 4: weaponize the drug trade by our major at a series 258 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 4: primarily China could unpocket strategics, yeah please right. So in February, 259 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 4: the Trump administration designated eight criminal organizations as Gordon Terrorist 260 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 4: Organizations uh AND terrorists, And of the eight, Tunde Aragua 261 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 4: operates primarily out of Venezuela with the support of a 262 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 4: Duro government that gives them sanctuary and stays there and 263 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 4: benefits financially. Reports. Our six other operate out of Mexico 264 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 4: were don't forget. They control reportedly over forty percent of Mexico. 265 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 4: And then there's another that operates throughout Central and South America, 266 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 4: all with the focus of flowing drugs into the United States. 267 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 4: It's what we would call in the War College a 268 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 4: sun Sooo strategy, the indirect approach to conduct brisk rop 269 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 4: disruption operations. So nobody speaking Chinese shows up, you know, 270 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 4: with the bag of drug or suitcase of money. These 271 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 4: people for all intents and purposes, their proxies and their 272 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 4: surrogates in the same way the Hussies Hamas and his 273 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 4: Balla do the same for our Just to remember, at 274 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 4: a strategic level, all over one in eight arrest in 275 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 4: the US is for a drug offense. And gracious that 276 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 4: you know, nearly half the violent crime is somehow connected, 277 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 4: you know, to the whole caval of drugs related gang warfare, 278 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 4: humans trafficking, and weapons trafficing, gun trafficking. So it's to 279 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 4: have a huge impact on us. Now, can I talk 280 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 4: about the military employment of the capabilities down there so 281 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 4: the listeners understand. 282 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, before you do that, though, because I think there 283 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 2: are people going, Okay, well, I get the military angle 284 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: this thing. The military gets sent and you do the job. 285 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: You've laid out a great case at gel Ryan is 286 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: to the wise from you know, the Chinese involvement in 287 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 2: the drug trafficking here in the United States, and of 288 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 2: course the Mexican cartels and everything else and supplies are 289 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: coming in from Venezuela, but I think they're pi and 290 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 2: there'll be a constitutional debate about this was just outside 291 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 2: your scope and what federal law dictates and how this 292 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: is possible in using the military in this role, but 293 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: I think they have maybe the average person listening go, well, 294 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 2: how do we know from a military standpoint where these 295 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: boats are headed to because they're fishing vessels, and how 296 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: do we know they're actually carrying drugs? I mean, that's 297 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: what the government's saying. But the government, whether it's Democrats 298 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 2: or Republicans, we've been told something and lied to before. 299 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: So how can American sleepwall night going Okay, are these 300 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: really drug or is this about regime change in Venezuela? 301 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 4: A great question, and let me segue right into that. 302 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 4: Well you might remember you also sent me to the 303 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 4: Naval fust Graduate School to get any master's degree in 304 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 4: operational intelligence. Right, here's what you can count on, and 305 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 4: I'm glad you asked that question for the listeners. The 306 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 4: US is certainly employing a broad range of intelligence capabilities 307 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 4: from space to undersea to detect and track this drug 308 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 4: transportation network. And we're talking satellites, aircraft, ships, submarines and 309 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 4: other special capabilities that far exceed the classification of this 310 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 4: conversation to identify literally where the drugs are originating from 311 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 4: and where they're going to. And so rest assured there's 312 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 4: not some sailor out there saying, oh, there's a fast boat, 313 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 4: let's hit at oh no serybod. They've been tracking that 314 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 4: target from its origin with those those base of the 315 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 4: contraband and it's a very deliberate and technical operation by 316 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 4: military professionals and now just an open source and that's 317 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 4: all we're going to talk about here today because I 318 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 4: violate my security parance. We've got multiple Navy warships with 319 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 4: advanced capabilities to collect. We've got the Paight aircraft down 320 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 4: there that collect both on surface and undersea activities, their 321 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 4: advanced reconnaissance aircraft. We've got other rotary wing assets down there. 322 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 4: We've got federal capabilities. We have a fast attack submarine. 323 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 4: Why they have very special collection capabilities that are advanced 324 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 4: in their technical ability to track precisely the movement of 325 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 4: surface craft. So we have a whole group of things 326 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 4: brought together and you can guarantee guaranteed the technical aspects 327 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 4: of that are being applied for the targeteers. Then it 328 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,239 Speaker 4: goes to the leadership to determine if it's met that 329 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 4: threshold that we have confirmed there we are in fact 330 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 4: running drugs. And I could also have to add this. 331 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 4: I was the last commanding officer of the Overseas Navy 332 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 4: Seal Team operating out of the Panama Canal Zone. I 333 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 4: was responsible for all such operations for seals and naval 334 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 4: special warfare in Central and South America until the time 335 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 4: that we gave the canal back in nineteen ninety. As such, 336 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 4: I supported federal agencies, Coast Guard, DEA, others in counter 337 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 4: drug operations. We were doing this decades ago. The difference 338 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 4: was we did not have the freedom of action to 339 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 4: use all the national capabilities to identify and track. And 340 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 4: then the key part was when it came time to season, 341 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 4: we basically had two hands tied behind our back because 342 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 4: a policy, well, the policies changed. Now the administration has 343 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 4: recognized the clear and present danger to our national security 344 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 4: that they pose to us, and that they're released there 345 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 4: gets in proxies of our adversaries. Folks were at the 346 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 4: most dangerous point in our history. And i'd offer since 347 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 4: pre World War Two, when you lay down the broad 348 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 4: conters and these drugs are being used by one of 349 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 4: the fourforcement of the apocalypse in this case China, right 350 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 4: to destabilize us. I mean and remember just one other thing, 351 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 4: if I could, Scott, when we hit that third boat, 352 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 4: what also occurred in the same timeframe, two Chinese ships 353 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 4: were intercepted with major loads or precursors coming to the 354 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 4: drug cartels. 355 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 2: That's what and that's what needs to be highlighted on 356 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 2: this too. And this is the concert. 357 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: John. I get the end. 358 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 2: I respect the constitutional argument for it, but what's the 359 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: bigger play? And that's the message that we need to articulate. 360 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 2: He's Captain Ed Golran, US Navy Seals and Army ranger 361 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 2: and farmer in Kentucky, fifth generation farmer. So I know 362 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 2: you got work to do on the farm and we'll 363 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 2: get a time out of I always appreciate the insights, sir, God. 364 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 4: Blessed, Thank you, thank you, Yes, sir, good day. 365 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 2: Before the rain hits. Get her done, Get her done. 366 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 2: We got to get a news update in very latest 367 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 2: done this and what else is happening here locally on 368 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 2: the Scott's Loan Show, seven hundred W. Well back to 369 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,720 Speaker 2: the grind Scott Sloan seven hundred WW. 370 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: I'm with you, man, I'm with you. 371 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 2: Just had Captain Ed gallryin on add the former US 372 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 2: Navy seal Army Ranger team leader. And I think this 373 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 2: guy he is a an American badass, no doubt about it, 374 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 2: with some unique insight, and still he still has access 375 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: to the things that most of us don't have access to. Uh, 376 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,719 Speaker 2: you know in recap here with the conversation, I missed it. 377 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 2: You can catch that in the podcast. On the podcast, 378 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 2: I should say, right after the show be the iHeartRadio app. 379 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: And you know, I get the debate. As a libertarian, 380 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 2: I get it. I get the constitutional debate on why 381 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 2: we're blowing up and if we should be blowing up ships. 382 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: We're not engaged in an act of war technically with 383 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 2: these nations and so of Venezuela and shipping vessels that 384 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: are just off the coast that were blowing up. I 385 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 2: see the constitutional argument there, and this is something that's 386 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 2: going to be debated for some time, there's no question 387 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 2: about it. But I also get the clear and present danger. 388 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 2: Look relative to China, who's driving this whole thing. We 389 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 2: are already seen with well TikTok for example, and other 390 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 2: platforms like that. How do they use our free nature, 391 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 2: our First Amendment, and our liberties, our constitutional liberties are 392 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 2: God granted liberties. Against us. They figured out the formula 393 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 2: secret sauce to defeat. It is not you know, they're 394 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: not gonna be launching missiles and invading us with foreign 395 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 2: armies as generation's past fear and the Cold War. Rather, 396 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 2: they're going to do it by using us against each other, 397 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 2: dividing us. And we seem pretty divided right now. Right, 398 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 2: How is that any different that we're talking about with 399 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 2: this war on drugs? And it's not the drugs as much, 400 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: because let's face it, you know, we have a really 401 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 2: good appetitis Americans, some of us more than others for drugs. 402 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 2: Those of us who look down the nose that the 403 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 2: recreational drug user have no problem having on know, three 404 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 2: or four martinis or cocktails on a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 405 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 2: Sunday night got the drug, and so all of us 406 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 2: have something. And you know, let's face it, we enjoy beer, 407 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 2: we enjoy in Bourbon country, we enjoy bourbon. How much 408 00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 2: different is that then? I don't know, marijuana and marijuanas 409 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 2: mayde well, how much different is that than someone who 410 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 2: uses heroin or cocaine? 411 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: And you know, again that line moves. 412 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 2: We have a pretty good appetite, we establish a good 413 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: baseline for recreational drugs in America, we're the ones that 414 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 2: are demanding those drugs come across our shores. Are they 415 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 2: polluting us and destroying us? Absolutely destroying our communities. We 416 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 2: saw with what happened with the opiate crisis that was 417 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: manufactured by wild government policies and the government themselves, and 418 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 2: then they cut the spickt off and now these people 419 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 2: are dependent on opiate's had to turn the street drugs. 420 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 2: And that's something that's created by even our own system 421 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 2: of government here and the way we do things in America, 422 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 2: right or wrong, that's how things are. And the Chinese 423 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 2: seek to say, hey, you know what, Americans like you know, 424 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 2: get caught with some of the drugs we're talking about 425 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 2: in China. See how that works out for you. It 426 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: won't here in America. We tolerate it as they free 427 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 2: and open society. They use it against This, to me 428 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: is another nuance in that in that war, in that 429 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 2: war of mind and ideology, and I think Ed brought 430 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 2: some really good points up with that. As far as 431 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 2: you're going, well, why are we blowing up these shipping vessels? 432 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: How do we know that they're actually drug We got 433 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 2: to take the government's word. Well, at some point you 434 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 2: have to take the government sword for it. We've been 435 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 2: lied to in the past, there's no doubt about it. 436 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 2: But it doesn't mean that there's not intent there to 437 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 2: try and change this dynamic. It's really made an interesting 438 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 2: constitutional debate, that's for sure. I don't know why I 439 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 2: watched the Bengals games. I don't know, because you kind 440 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 2: of know what's going to happen. Is it like a 441 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 2: car wreck at this point? Do you hope against all 442 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 2: hope things are going to be different? It wasn't I know, 443 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 2: the score. It's one of those games in the classic 444 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: goes well, the score wasn't as close. It was real 445 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 2: law as that's so true in this game. What thirty 446 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 2: seven to twenty four? The Bendo's lost three straight now 447 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 2: at the hand of Jake Browning and not really how 448 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 2: much of this is Jake brown and the quarterback And 449 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 2: let's they said three touchdowns three interceptions in the street. 450 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 2: Touchdowns didn't come until the fourth quarter when it was over. Yeah, 451 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 2: you know, I don't think anyone outside of maybe that 452 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 2: locker room, and I'm gonna guess that if you were 453 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 2: to survey the conscience of your typical Bengals player that 454 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 2: they don't have any confidence in Jake Browning either. I 455 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 2: don't know how much Jake Browning hits confidence in Jake 456 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 2: Browning at this point, and he's saying that he just 457 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 2: needs to play better. Well, you know, I would. There's 458 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 2: a lot of things I'd like to be. I just 459 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 2: don't wake up when they go, Okay, I I am, 460 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 2: I'm taller, I'm better looking. I weigh you know, fifteen 461 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 2: pounds less. I can you go on and on? 462 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 6: Right? 463 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 2: All of us do that? You know, wishing and wanting 464 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 2: isn't reality. I think this is the best you're going 465 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 2: to get out of Jake Browning. And I wonder how 466 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: many Bengals fans after this loss. I've completely written the scene. 467 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 2: I would suggest many, simply because yesterday was supposed to 468 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 2: be a stripe the Jungle game at pay Corps, which 469 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 2: basically means, and it's kind of cool concetantly see in 470 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 2: the past where you know, one section is orange, the 471 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 2: next section is black, the section's orange, the section is black, 472 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 2: and it looks like you know, the pay course game 473 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 2: and stripe, provided you do a couple of things. One 474 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 2: of them is fill the stadium. The other two is 475 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 2: win games so that you can guarantee that that is 476 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 2: a home crowd. 477 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 7: There. 478 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,199 Speaker 2: The problem was, and a lot of those tickets were 479 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 2: sold ahead of time. A lot of those people sold 480 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 2: those tickets on the secondary market to Lions fans. So 481 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 2: it was kind of a weird sea of black and orange, 482 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 2: but a hell of a lot of Hawaiian blue and white. Yeah, 483 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 2: it didn't. It would look more like a spotted jungle Martin. 484 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 2: Looked like an FC game with the orange, the orange 485 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 2: and blue. 486 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 8: Uh. 487 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: And that was a mess yesterday. 488 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 2: And uh, I know that the coach Taylor and company 489 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 2: is gonna tell you, well, you know, we're gonna work 490 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 2: on some stuff. We gotta tune some stuff up, we 491 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 2: gotta get some stuff done. I don't know if you 492 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 2: going to go to Green Bay and roll a Green 493 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 2: Bay Packer team with what they have up there at 494 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 2: lambeau Field. I don't see that. I think I gotta 495 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 2: have four straight losses. But that's why they played the 496 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 2: game yesterday.

I don't think I'm glad I appreciate her music. 524 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 2: I appreciate she does, and it's one of those dealser. 525 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,959 Speaker 2: I don't know the albums and I don't know the 526 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 2: song names, but I know a few of the songs. 527 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: And go, yeah, it's good product. 528 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,719 Speaker 2: She definitely she hits a niche in the show, as 529 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 2: we saw when she came to Cincinnati, even if you're 530 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 2: not a swifty, I don't think you have to be 531 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 2: a swifty to appreciate her music and what she does. 532 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 2: Even though you know, we kind of get tired of 533 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: seeing her every time at Kansas City Chiefs game is on, 534 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 2: and the way the Chiefs have been playing, there's less 535 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 2: like the hood in seeing that again. Nonetheless, she certainly, 536 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,239 Speaker 2: you know, when she came here, I was incredible to 537 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 2: see the what it was. I think, why there's two 538 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 2: night show, and then I think two days before so 539 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 2: on like a Tuesday or Wednesday, her merch bus came 540 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 2: in and there's a line across the suspension bridge where 541 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 2: people backed up to get a turn to buy eighty 542 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 2: dollars t shirts, which is amazing. I mean, that's that's 543 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 2: that's incredible. There's the power of it, and the vibe 544 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 2: I guess is positive and stuff. So not a Swifty 545 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,719 Speaker 2: by firing and certainly no maybe a few of her songs, 546 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 2: but not gonna rush out. 547 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 7: I don't know. 548 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 2: I do know people getting up at midnight to download 549 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 2: so they could listen to Taylor. I'm like, you know, 550 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 2: it's not a live show. It'll still it's seven, eight, nine, 551 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 2: ten o'clock in the morning, even it'll still be new 552 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 2: to your ears. But hey, you know what, we get 553 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 2: excited for football. I get excited for football. Some people 554 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 2: get scored for Taylor Swift. It's all good. Speaking of 555 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 2: the NFL, real quick, this is the most bizarre story 556 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 2: of the weekend. 557 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard about this. 558 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 2: Remember Mark Sanchez kind of like the joke of the 559 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 2: NFL when you've had about out with the He was 560 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 2: quarterback in the Saint No the Saints the Jets at 561 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,679 Speaker 2: the time. He's an NFL analyst now and he was 562 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 2: in Indianapolis for the game there and he is now 563 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 2: under arrest. He got pepper sprayed after being stabbed multiple 564 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 2: times during a late night altercation with a sixteen annual 565 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 2: truck driver. And I guess the story goes Sanchez was 566 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 2: there's a box truck driver backed up to the hotel 567 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 2: loading dock to unload stuff at late at night, I guess, 568 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 2: And so for some reason Sanchez, who I'm told is 569 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 2: like a great guy, the truck driver felt threatened and 570 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 2: pulled out pepper spray, and when that didn't work, and 571 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 2: Sanchez came after him, the driver saw a look at 572 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 2: his eyes and said, I think he's going to kill me. 573 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 2: So he pulled out his knife and stabbed the dude. 574 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 2: Stabbed Sanchez two or three times as the truck driver 575 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 2: is thrown against a dumpster and out of the ground. 576 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 2: Apparently there is a video of this because it was 577 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 2: at a hotel in the loading dock, which most as 578 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 2: surely is gonna have a camera. Sanchez suffered multiple stab 579 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 2: roounds to his white Torso he's in the hospital where 580 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 2: he was arrested on Saturday, and he said, I don't 581 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 2: remember much except for grabbing for a window, and I 582 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 2: don't know who stabbed me and what happened, and so 583 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 2: was he really really hammered? Was he on something or 584 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 2: is you know, is it gonna get back in one 585 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 2: of those CTE things. It was the most the weird, 586 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 2: most bizarre story of the weekend. Like you know, like 587 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 2: Mark's a former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez who is a 588 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 2: broadcaster now for CBS under arrest for assaulting a truck 589 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 2: driver in a late night melle a night or two before. 590 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: That is just weird. 591 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 2: I wont to hear the normally you do these games, 592 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 2: before you do these games, and you go, okay, I 593 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 2: got a per diem. I got you know, I could 594 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 2: go out and run the streets a little bit, but 595 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 2: I still have a job to do, you know, the 596 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 2: next day or whatever. And I not that guy. He 597 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 2: was all in on it all in all in What 598 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 2: else is going on? Remember when the egg crisis was 599 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 2: going off for I was a hot minute and no 600 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 2: one could get eggs in the price of a dozen 601 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 2: eggs for like thirty five And we had a big 602 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: egg crisis, and then that went away because there was 603 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 2: a chicken disease and beef prices are the new egg. 604 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 2: So beef price is at a record high because we 605 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 2: have a couple of things going on. We have a 606 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 2: drought that left the cattle inventory at the lowest level 607 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: since nineteen fifty one. And this is resulting in pricing 608 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 2: increases for steak and ground beef. And of course we 609 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: also have our friend inflation. We'll may get of this 610 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 2: more tomorrow morning because on Tuesdays eleven thirty five, Andy 611 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 2: Schaeffer from all Worth jumps in, I'm gonna asking about 612 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 2: beef prices, and the BLS comes up with the Consumer 613 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 2: Price Index. It showed a surgeon beef prices over last year. 614 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 2: Ground beef prices by the way, up thirteen percent year 615 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 2: over year. SAM for roasts and steak. Steak was sixteen 616 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 2: and a half percent higher. So if you're going to 617 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 2: Rubies or Tony's or wherever you go for your steaks, 618 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 2: you are going to pay a significant amount more. And 619 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 2: if you go occasionally to a finer steakhouse, as I 620 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 2: enjoy from time to time, everything went the limits and 621 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 2: budget limits at that. No, it's not long ago that 622 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 2: they move from you know, having the price on the 623 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 2: menu to market price now on like ribot. It's that expensive. 624 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 2: They don't know what the price is going to wind 625 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 2: up being. So we had a drought that happened if 626 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 2: a few years ago and they lost all their grass 627 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 2: out in Kansas in the southeast and Oklahoma, Texas, et cetera. 628 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 2: And when that happens, you got a liquid eight cows. 629 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 2: And now we have fewer CAUs, lowest cow inventory since 630 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 2: nineteen fifty one. So be nice to cows, even more 631 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 2: ammunition for our friends at Chick fil a. There you go, 632 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 2: there you go. Also, finally, today the Supreme Court is 633 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 2: going to get back in session. And I always find 634 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 2: that stuff interesting to the elements of law and what 635 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,479 Speaker 2: the courts can hear in this case they are they 636 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 2: agreed yesterday to decide whether they're going to hear this 637 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 2: whether states can borrow people from carrying guns on private 638 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 2: property that'd be stored to be hotels without the property 639 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 2: Doinger's explicit permission, and this has the case. This is 640 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 2: out of Hawaii, by the way, one of five Democratic 641 00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 2: led states that enacted restrictions on concealed carry. So yeah, 642 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 2: I look at this, and I you went, Okay, that's 643 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 2: a why that's a liberal state. We're deep read, We're Ohio, 644 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 2: we're Kentucky, we're Indy, and we don't have to worry 645 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 2: about this kind of do. And I'll back it up 646 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 2: a little bit to a more current event. Can Kobra'll 647 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 2: be here with a sensey fop on our probation violation 648 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 2: problems and that has to do with young people getting 649 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 2: weapons under disability meaning you're not allowed to have them 650 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 2: because you're either underage or you at a prior felony conviction, 651 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 2: or maybe a combination of both, and how things are 652 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 2: screwed up there. But you know, that's a great question, 653 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 2: is all right, how are younger people? How are people 654 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 2: getting their guns? You know, we had these straw purchasers 655 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 2: thing where someone would go in illegally, of course, go 656 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 2: to a gun store or a supply or buy a 657 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 2: whole bunch of guns and then turn around and sell 658 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 2: them to the people who they know should not have guns. 659 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 2: That's called a straw purchase, meaning you're buying it for 660 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 2: someone else and you're buying a bunch of them and 661 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,239 Speaker 2: making sure the criminal element has guns. Still goes on. 662 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: But one of the big things we sear locally, we 663 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 2: hear a lot from police officers is the number of 664 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 2: people in Cincinnati who will bring a gun, exercise their 665 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 2: Second Amendment rights and then realize Hey, I can't take 666 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 2: this in this establishment because they're signed up that says 667 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 2: gun for his own, so I must leave it my vehicle. 668 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,959 Speaker 2: And they leave the gun in the vehicle, and what 669 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,520 Speaker 2: what's happening is someone breaks into said vehicle steals the gun. 670 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: And that is happening. 671 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 2: And people are leaving guns and cars so often now 672 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 2: that it has become the de facto way that younger people, 673 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 2: street criminals and the like are getting weapons. They're simply 674 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 2: breaking the cars and Stealingules's why I have the high 675 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 2: level break ins. I think while the number of shootings 676 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 2: in downtown Cincinnati and OTR and like have gone down, 677 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 2: the number of property crimes, specifically car break ins and 678 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 2: the like have gone up almost fifty percent. Because that's 679 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 2: what they're doing, is they're looking for this stuff. So 680 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court is going to hear this case and 681 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 2: involves bringing those guys bringing your gun onto private property, 682 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 2: which to me, for a long time has been you know, 683 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 2: I never understood that, like I legally could open carry 684 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 2: when we had opened the open carry concealed carry laws 685 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 2: in Ohio. Okay, if I had a gun on me 686 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 2: and I displayed it and hand it on my waistband 687 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 2: and you can see it. I can take that, you know, 688 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 2: to stores wherever. 689 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: But if I. 690 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 2: Concealed carry, meaning you can't see it, only I know 691 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,240 Speaker 2: it's there, somehow, that's illegal. That's seems the most asked 692 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 2: backward with me is you know a couple of things. 693 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 2: I get that, lawfully, you could open carry. I disagree 694 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,359 Speaker 2: with that as a gun owner myself. And second memic guy, 695 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 2: is that what you're doing is you're just scaring people. 696 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 2: You know, you're going I have a consols right. You 697 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 2: do have a consul right to carry that gun. I 698 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 2: get that, But the idea is you're a so pro 699 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 2: gun that you're going to show the world I have 700 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 2: a weapon on me. There are people carrying you know, 701 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 2: long guns, and what does that do? So you get 702 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 2: people who are scared of guns, which you have a 703 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 2: right to be scared, and justlike guns, I get that. 704 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 2: All you do is now now you get them all 705 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 2: worked up in the froth. And if you're doing it 706 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,760 Speaker 2: for a reaction, okay, if you're just doing that toatrol, 707 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 2: all right, but that's not really helping the clause. You're 708 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 2: just making more people want to create laws to protect 709 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 2: what it is you're doing or against what you're doing. 710 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 2: You know, in this case, I never understood if I'm 711 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 2: carrying concealed then I walk into plat theater, for example, 712 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 2: I walk in a theater with a gun, that's illegal. 713 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 2: I can't do that because they've got to sign up. 714 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 2: And I'm like, how would they know that I have 715 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 2: a gun on me if I'm responsible and I'm carrying 716 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 2: it and I'm not leaving them the seat and it's 717 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 2: not falling out of my pocket or something, or I 718 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 2: left it, you know, on top of a toilet tank 719 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 2: in the theater. That's none of your business what I 720 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 2: have on my person. You know, we don't have We 721 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 2: don't treat people with drug paraphernalia the same. You know, 722 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 2: I'm sure that you may be carrying some sort of 723 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,440 Speaker 2: contraband on you. It's not like, you know, if it 724 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 2: falls out if you're doing a transaction. Different story. But 725 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 2: then I don't understand how that affects them at all, 726 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 2: Seemingly here, if I decide I want to walk in 727 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,520 Speaker 2: a place that says we're probably anti gun, and I 728 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 2: have a concealed weapon on me carrying, and it could 729 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 2: be an ankle holster, it could be in my waistband, 730 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 2: could be a I don't know, I got a suit 731 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 2: jacket on and got a shoulder holster or something like 732 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 2: how would you know? You wouldn't as long as I'm 733 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 2: extremely careful jacket on or something like that. To me, 734 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 2: it just seemed like the most overreaching law ever. And 735 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 2: I'm glad the Supreme Court's finally going to hear about this, 736 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 2: or at least maybe to side. And we probably have 737 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 2: an idea, although you can't always guarantee what they're gonna do, 738 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 2: how the Court's gonna side with this thing, and that 739 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 2: would to me restore some sanity in this whole thing. Anyway, 740 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 2: let me get a time out in. We've got to 741 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 2: get a news update and find out what's going on NW. 742 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 2: Do we finally having some wet weather moving in, maybe 743 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 2: a chance with a sprinkle I think this morning, a 744 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 2: sprinkle this morning, but mainly tomorrow full forecast in the 745 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 2: way traffic. Chuck will get you updated there in the 746 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 2: Legs and news. And then Ken Kober here from the 747 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 2: FOP running return about the probation violation problem. We have 748 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 2: another issue that's developed over the last couple of days. 749 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 2: If you don't know now you will. We'll get into 750 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 2: that with him right after news on the Home of 751 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:48,760 Speaker 2: the Best Bengals coverage seven hundred WLWD Cincinnati. Real issues 752 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 2: in the streets of Cincinnati. So from even before, well 753 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 2: before our attention was called to the murder of Patrick Herringer, Uh, 754 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 2: we had a problem in our city. And we've now 755 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 2: established this as a trend and it doesn't seem to 756 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 2: reverse anytime soon. And this has to do with the 757 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,720 Speaker 2: juvenile justice in the streets in the city of Cincinnati 758 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,799 Speaker 2: and the streets of Cincinnati, and what we can do 759 00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,920 Speaker 2: to prevent people who shouldn't be out from gaining access 760 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 2: to guns and committing even more atrocities while they're being 761 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 2: protected by law, or they should be on at least 762 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 2: community controls. The case will be. I know it is 763 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 2: a tired and exhausting story, but it feels like, on 764 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 2: a relatively regular basis, we have another story that comes out. 765 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,959 Speaker 2: It illustrates the absurdity and the problems with juvenile justice, 766 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 2: in particular in the city of Cincinnati. He has Ken 767 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 2: Kober with the Cincinnati FOP, joining the show once again 768 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 2: this morning on seven hundred w DOW. Good morning, Ken, 769 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 2: how are. 770 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 7: You Hey, good morning Scott, thanks for having doing well. 771 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:42,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, so. 772 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 2: Brian COLEMs had the story on Friday. He broke this 773 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 2: about eighteen year old Devon Marcus and Marcus was on 774 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 2: probation when he murdered sixteen year old TJ. Bell near 775 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,760 Speaker 2: Grant Parking over the Rhine. That was about mid September, 776 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 2: So a cup just a couple of weeks ago, two 777 00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,279 Speaker 2: three weeks ago, this past weekend, TJ's family and tell 778 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,279 Speaker 2: the vigil. Now, keep in mind a fourteen year old 779 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 2: girl was also shot. She wasn't killed as TJ was, 780 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 2: but one of his runs when the TJ's frinds was 781 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 2: shot last week along with a twelve year old. And 782 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 2: so at this vigil that was a topic conversation. Not 783 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 2: only was TJ Bell, you know, honoring his memory, but 784 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 2: also had to deal with the fact one of his 785 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 2: friends was shot along with a twelve year old. And 786 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 2: you know, we've seen this story happen repeatedly, and not 787 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,240 Speaker 2: just teens. We had the thirty year old of Krishana 788 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 2: Winn who was shot and killed on Republic Streets seeming 789 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 2: the mind run a business mother of five and she 790 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 2: got caught in the crossfire. You know, it's one thing 791 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,720 Speaker 2: to point out, Hey, Patrick Hearinger, we're gonna get serious 792 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 2: about this. But we've had in since the murder of 793 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 2: Pat Herringer, we've had judge after judge after judge repeat 794 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 2: those sins that have caused even more death destruction than 795 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,400 Speaker 2: ayem in the streets in Cincinnati. It doesn't seem like 796 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:50,240 Speaker 2: they've got the message. 797 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 7: Kit No, no, you're you're absolutely right. And you know, 798 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 7: until we get some judges that are going to be 799 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 7: tough on crime and lock people up and get back 800 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 7: to being pro on order, pro public safety, unfortunately, things 801 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:03,239 Speaker 7: like this are going. 802 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 2: To continue to happen. All right, Well, let's talk about that. 803 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:10,359 Speaker 2: In the case of Markham. Here, I'm looking at the narrative. Here, 804 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,279 Speaker 2: I'm looking at actually the order from the judge in 805 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 2: this case that when he was this is going with 806 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 2: community control starting in July eighth for two years, he said, 807 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 2: during my probation period, I will conduct and this is 808 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 2: the Markham guy, I will conduct myself properly, addressed appropriately 809 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 2: when reporting an answer accurate all questions asked by probation personnel. 810 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 2: I'll make every reasonable effort during my probationary appear to 811 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 2: maintain a job or participate in education of vocational training. 812 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,719 Speaker 2: I shall report to my probation office such a time 813 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 2: and place as often as the Adult Probation Department of 814 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,239 Speaker 2: the Court may require. Failure to do so could be 815 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,280 Speaker 2: a basis of revocation or probation. I understand the special 816 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 2: conditions ordered by the court will be enforced by the 817 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 2: probation department treatment if eligible. And he agreed to this. 818 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 2: The court agreed that the probation officers and the judge 819 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 2: signed off on this whole thing because he was convicted 820 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 2: of carying keel and sealed weapon. That's a fourth degree felony, 821 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,439 Speaker 2: and he shouldn't have been having one at that time. 822 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,760 Speaker 2: And yet the men and he agreed to all the stuff. 823 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 2: He knew that he wasn't going to bude by any 824 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 2: of this, and then just a few weeks later he 825 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 2: winds up murdering someone. How common is that in Cincinnati? 826 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,239 Speaker 7: Unfortunately, it's all are too common that this occurs. I mean, 827 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 7: it's just assumed that if you get arrested and you 828 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 7: get convicted of carrying a concealed weapon, you get convicted 829 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 7: of weapons under disability, which means that you weren't even 830 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 7: eligible to carry a gun anyway, These people are getting probation, 831 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,839 Speaker 7: and then you wonder why they turn around while they're 832 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 7: in probation they end up killing somebody. It's like, these 833 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,560 Speaker 7: things are just the court system has got to take 834 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,319 Speaker 7: somebody who gets convicted of carrying a concealed weapon or 835 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:44,480 Speaker 7: weapons under disability. 836 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: They need to go to prison. They just have to. 837 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:48,480 Speaker 7: That's the only way that they're going to be able 838 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 7: to make a dent in the shootings. 839 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Chiefs Association of Hamlin County, why did they 840 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 2: have a round table and get judges and all the 841 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 2: stakeholders involved, law enforcement people like yourself, Ken Kober. Judges said, well, 842 00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,880 Speaker 2: we can't do that. That violate our jujitial ethics or 843 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,239 Speaker 2: something like that, which but in the past they've had 844 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 2: roundtables for you know, getting the vote out and things 845 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,800 Speaker 2: like that, and so I guess it's the selective audiences 846 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,799 Speaker 2: which you want. I could understand if this had pre 847 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 2: dated the murder of Patrick Herringer, But that felt like 848 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,520 Speaker 2: a turning point for our city. That was a watershed 849 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 2: moment in that people finally said, hey, listen, we've got 850 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,959 Speaker 2: to get tougher on juveniles. We've got to get tougher 851 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 2: on people who violate the terms of their probation. And 852 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 2: yet at the same time, these judges continue to repeat 853 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 2: that same behavior over and over again. Has anyone you 854 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 2: know in your officer, yourself, or have you talked to 855 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 2: someone and said, well, where's it? Where's the judges coming 856 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 2: from us? I would love to talk to a judge, 857 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 2: maybe even off the record, why are you guys doing this? 858 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 2: And seemingly you can't find an answer. That's problematic? 859 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,680 Speaker 7: Oh absolutely, I mean, we certainly know the judges at 860 00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,400 Speaker 7: the courthouse that are that are pro public safety, prolong 861 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,520 Speaker 7: and order, and then you have judges that want to 862 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:58,360 Speaker 7: follow this nonsense bail reform. They want to be soft 863 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,839 Speaker 7: on crime, and unfortunately, it's about fifty to fifty right 864 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 7: now in the courthouse. There's a fifty percent chance if 865 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,399 Speaker 7: you go in front of the judge that they're going 866 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 7: to lock somebody up. And unfortunately, the other part of 867 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,839 Speaker 7: that fifty percent is the ones that they don't care 868 00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,839 Speaker 7: they're going to put you on probation, they are going 869 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 7: to refuse to send you to prison for certain crimes. 870 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,920 Speaker 7: And that's that's been the problem. That's what people have 871 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 7: to realize that's the cops are. The cops are arresting people, 872 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 7: the prosecutor's office are prosecuting people, and then we have 873 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,240 Speaker 7: judges that just let them out put them on probation, 874 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 7: and then we sit here and wonder why these things 875 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 7: are still happening. 876 00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess the number of shootings are 877 00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:35,040 Speaker 2: down according to the statistics. But the problem is is, 878 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 2: you know, Ken Cobert, the FOP, these are kids, and 879 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,600 Speaker 2: that means it's their high profile. They're all high profile, 880 00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 2: and the victims are seemingly innocent bystanders. That's the thing 881 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,440 Speaker 2: you can look at. The metrics is a to have 882 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 2: pureval who wants people's votes coming up in just a 883 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 2: couple of weeks, wants them to believe that the shooting 884 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,919 Speaker 2: numbers are down. But the problem, of course is, look, 885 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 2: Luca's getting jammed up. I don't know if there's anything 886 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 2: on TJ and what the beef was between the von 887 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 2: Markham and TJ Bell, but from everyone who've talked to 888 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 2: so far, it seems like he was just in the 889 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,399 Speaker 2: wrong place, wrong time, as was Krishan. To win these 890 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:11,480 Speaker 2: are this is just the nature of innocent people getting 891 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 2: jammed up in this stuff. I think that's what puts 892 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 2: these crimes over the top. 893 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 7: Sure, And just this past week, the same place where 894 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,840 Speaker 7: that murder happened, right there at Grant Park, there's a 895 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:22,600 Speaker 7: fourteen and the sixteen year old that was shot, and 896 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 7: yet another drive by shooting in the exact same area. 897 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 1: Are these people you know? 898 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,000 Speaker 2: I know you can't tip your hand and what you know, ken, 899 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 2: but are these known to the shooters? Are they aiming 900 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,440 Speaker 2: for someone else? We know that was the case with 901 00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 2: Krishan to Win, won't know with these other ones. 902 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 7: Well, that's what hasn't been quite determined yet as to 903 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 7: whether or not. I mean, they believe that there's a 904 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 7: specific reason why shootings are happening in this location, but 905 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 7: whether the victims were actually targeted or not targeted is 906 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,400 Speaker 7: what they're still trying to figure out, which is why 907 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 7: we need people to be calling crime stoppers. You have 908 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,919 Speaker 7: to give us tips. That way we can solve these crimes. Yeah. 909 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it still doesn't make it right. 910 00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 2: But the idea that somehow, well you know, the crime 911 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 2: not ooting numbers are down, Yeah, but when you have 912 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:05,000 Speaker 2: kids out there, and I would consider someone who's sixteen 913 00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 2: years older kid, twelve year old, fourteen year old victims, 914 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 2: that that's an atrocity that should not be happening, and 915 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,239 Speaker 2: it is, and it's also entirely preventable because these are 916 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 2: people who are ready in the costody of the Juvenile 917 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 2: Justice Department, who were released and their own recognizance essentially 918 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 2: saying hey, you know what, just report to your probation officer, 919 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 2: get a job. Well, you know, I think that's the 920 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 2: other element of this ken And we know that council's 921 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,000 Speaker 2: approved recently another four and a half million dollars in 922 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 2: funding for police. 923 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:32,359 Speaker 1: Is there money there? 924 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 2: And can you talk about to some degree what the 925 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 2: funding is for the probation department and making sure that 926 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,000 Speaker 2: when someone violates that we've got to get them sooner 927 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 2: rather than later. 928 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:43,720 Speaker 1: How does that change? 929 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,840 Speaker 7: Well, we saw what they just did with probation, especially 930 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 7: with the adult probation. We got rid of all the 931 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 7: substations out in neighborhoods. You know, now's you're just going 932 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,879 Speaker 7: to have to report here. You know my opinion, those 933 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,920 Speaker 7: are things that are handcuffing the police. They're handcuffing probation officers. 934 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,000 Speaker 7: It's kind of just a slap in the face to 935 00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 7: the whole idea of probation. And I do know that 936 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 7: there are some judges that I've spoken with that are 937 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,960 Speaker 7: absolutely furious. They're like, the question, how do I put 938 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 7: somebody on probation if we know that it's likely they're 939 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:15,719 Speaker 7: not going to be held accountable. 940 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one thing, it's one thing for the judge. Okay, 941 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 2: here's the order, here's the thing. And you assume the 942 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 2: probation Department's going to follo up, and I know that 943 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 2: they're overworked and underpaid. That is the cry of probation 944 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,160 Speaker 2: officers all over. It's a hard jove. It really is 945 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,360 Speaker 2: a hard job. But when you don't have the resources 946 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,440 Speaker 2: to be able to do your job, it just emboldens 947 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 2: criminals even more. They know they can lie and get 948 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 2: away with it. I often talk about someone who cuts 949 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 2: their monitoring device off, an ankle monitor. It seems to 950 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,839 Speaker 2: me and I always thought that this is the case, 951 00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,480 Speaker 2: but it's not that Literally, shouldn't there be alarm bells 952 00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 2: going off someone cut their ankle monitor off. We're going 953 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 2: to put a bolo out to you guys. You men 954 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,520 Speaker 2: and women in the thin blue line can go pick 955 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 2: them up immediately because it means they're probably going to 956 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 2: do something that's bad, but instead it's more like, well, well, 957 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 2: I guess if we running them on the street or something, 958 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 2: we'll pick them up maybe, but probably not. 959 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 7: That's got to change, Yeah, I mean, I mean, they're 960 00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,040 Speaker 7: certainly not cutting off an ANQULEI monitor because they want 961 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,120 Speaker 7: to work over time at their job or because they're 962 00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,759 Speaker 7: going to church. They're doing it because they don't want 963 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,680 Speaker 7: to be tracked, because they are going to go out 964 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 7: and could commit additional crimes. And you're right, I mean, 965 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,319 Speaker 7: there there should be a plan in place for this 966 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 7: that if it gets cut off, they are immediately immediately 967 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:20,319 Speaker 7: being sought for. 968 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 1: How do you fix that? 969 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 7: Is it? 970 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,640 Speaker 2: Is it more money for probation departments? Is it funneling 971 00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 2: some of that money to make sure that we've got 972 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 2: enough bodies to go get those folks who violate? 973 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 1: What? How would you fix this? 974 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,240 Speaker 4: kN I mean. 975 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:35,040 Speaker 7: That's obviously probably a better question for the folks that 976 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 7: work in the probation department, But uh, you know, I 977 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 7: do know some probation officers, and I can tell you 978 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,239 Speaker 7: it seems like times, just like police, we don't have 979 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,200 Speaker 7: enough people, we don't have enough tools to do our 980 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:49,920 Speaker 7: job and until there's really a commitment to making probation work. Unfortunately, 981 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 7: we're gonna we're gonna see more stories like this just 982 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 7: because they are they're underworked, they don't always have the 983 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,879 Speaker 7: resources that they need to be able to accomplish these things. 984 00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 2: All right now, you heard about them, and we've talked 985 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 2: about that before with you, and that is closing in decentralized. 986 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,879 Speaker 2: I guess centralizing more of the operations. I always thought 987 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,839 Speaker 2: like decentralization, we kind of want that. We want people 988 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,360 Speaker 2: out on the streets. We want people on caseworkers to 989 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:15,799 Speaker 2: be out there to make sure they're making contact with 990 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 2: these people who are jammed up in the juvenile system. 991 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 2: But that went away. Something else that's going on. It's 992 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,400 Speaker 2: called Senate Bill two seventy, and Senate Bill two seventy 993 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,280 Speaker 2: is going to raise the minimum age for state commitment. 994 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 2: That means you're going to we're going to raise that 995 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,120 Speaker 2: the commitment for youth services from ten to fourteen years old, 996 00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 2: as well as discretion for gun cases and protecting more 997 00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:37,680 Speaker 2: first time non violent offenders and the like. 998 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 1: What do you make of that? 999 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:41,920 Speaker 7: It's crazy, it's going the opposite direction of what we're 1000 00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,440 Speaker 7: trying to accomplish. You have victims, and you have shooters 1001 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,319 Speaker 7: that are getting younger and younger and younger. So to 1002 00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 7: say that, all, well, he's only thirteen, we know he 1003 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:52,880 Speaker 7: shot somebody, but we're not so sure that we can 1004 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,000 Speaker 7: actually put him in dys because of this, I mean, 1005 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:59,080 Speaker 7: that bill is absolutely crazy. You know, I've read through 1006 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,960 Speaker 7: the whole thing. If it actually gets out of the Senate, 1007 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,719 Speaker 7: I certainly hope that the house side of things in 1008 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,160 Speaker 7: Ohio are going to make the right decision and make 1009 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,960 Speaker 7: sure that this doesn't this doesn't become a wall, because 1010 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 7: I mean, we are having such a problem not only 1011 00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 7: in Hamilton County but across the state of Ohio, having 1012 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 7: problems with youth offenders that are violent, committing violent, terrible 1013 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 7: crimes that are eleven, twelve, thirteen years old. And to 1014 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,880 Speaker 7: say that we can't get them out of our community 1015 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 7: because of an age, it's just it's very misguided. I 1016 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 7: can't believe something like this would come out of Ohio. 1017 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 2: FOP President Can Cobra. Isn't that how criminal enterprise works, 1018 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 2: is that gangs in particular, that you get younger people 1019 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 2: who under that legal age of adulthood to commit the 1020 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,120 Speaker 2: crimes because you know they're not going to serve significant 1021 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 2: time in an adult lockup. That that's why they're recruited 1022 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 2: in the first place. Isn't that still true today? 1023 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 4: Yeah? 1024 00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,160 Speaker 7: Absolutely, that's why. I mean you look, you walk down 1025 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 7: the street at night. Adults fear these juveniles and they 1026 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,759 Speaker 7: rightfully so, they fear juveniles more than they fear young 1027 00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,359 Speaker 7: adults here that are twenty one, twenty two, twenty three 1028 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 7: walking around, because these young juveniles are are certainly driving 1029 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,239 Speaker 7: the violent crime in Cincinnati, and they are reckless when 1030 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:09,799 Speaker 7: they do it. 1031 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,480 Speaker 2: And that and this also adds to them or property crimes. 1032 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 2: I know that the number of shootings have gone down, 1033 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 2: as we've talked about, but the number of break ins 1034 00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 2: a is up, like it's like forty seven percent in 1035 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:21,800 Speaker 2: over the Rhine alone, correct. 1036 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,360 Speaker 7: Yeah. And so I was just talking to an aulstar 1037 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,800 Speaker 7: this morning that during the Bengals game, they had some 1038 00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 7: juveniles breaking into cars. Luckily they catch the two that 1039 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 7: were the main culprits, and one of them had a 1040 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,760 Speaker 7: stolen gun that he had just stolen from a vehicle, 1041 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,799 Speaker 7: had it on him, so thankfully that was at least 1042 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,759 Speaker 7: able to be recovered. But that would have been yet 1043 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,000 Speaker 7: another gun running around in some juvenile's hands. 1044 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:43,520 Speaker 1: That's also part of the problem. 1045 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,279 Speaker 2: I've talked about this before, is that you go to Cincinnati, 1046 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,640 Speaker 2: maybe a work, you play, you do business there, for example, 1047 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 2: go to a Bengal game. Now I may get out 1048 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,320 Speaker 2: and I may have a fear for my safety. And 1049 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,440 Speaker 2: the more we have these conversations with juveniles doing what 1050 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 2: they do, you go, well, you know what, I don't 1051 00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 2: want to become a victim. I don't want to become 1052 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 2: a statistic I don't want to be the next pack carringer. 1053 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:01,920 Speaker 2: I don't do the next TJ. 1054 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:03,279 Speaker 1: Bell. I may, I. 1055 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 2: May lose, but at least I got a fighting chance 1056 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,839 Speaker 2: if I have my gun with me. Unfortunately, you can't 1057 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:10,600 Speaker 2: take them in a lot of places, and so people 1058 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:11,720 Speaker 2: leave them in their car. 1059 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:13,520 Speaker 1: And now the number. 1060 00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:16,319 Speaker 2: Of people, because it's like it's self fulfilling prophecy, the 1061 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,960 Speaker 2: more perception, the more reality we have, more crime downtown, 1062 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 2: the more people bring guns with them, which causes more 1063 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:22,720 Speaker 2: young people to break in the cars. 1064 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,839 Speaker 7: No, without a doubt, I mean that's what we're seeing. 1065 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 7: That's why it's so important. You know, Now with technology today, 1066 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 7: you can get any vehicle, and you can get a 1067 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 7: gun safe that can be fitted to your vehicle, whether 1068 00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,560 Speaker 7: it's in your console or trump whatever. There are ways 1069 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:39,880 Speaker 7: to secure these guns to make it at least a 1070 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 7: whole lot harder. They just thrown it under your seat 1071 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,759 Speaker 7: or thrown it in your glove box. Because these kids, 1072 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,239 Speaker 7: they know what they're doing. They're targeting certain vehicles that 1073 00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:50,439 Speaker 7: they believe are likely going to have firearms out, and 1074 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:51,480 Speaker 7: they're successful. 1075 00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,279 Speaker 2: I've said this before, Ken, and maybe the first time 1076 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,560 Speaker 2: to you. I you know, I have weapons. My wife 1077 00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 2: and I have guns. I can steal carry. That is 1078 00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,320 Speaker 2: no longer the law in Ohio. That gets a good thing. However, 1079 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,720 Speaker 2: I make sure if I'm carrying them in Cincinnati wherever 1080 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:08,719 Speaker 2: it might be, and I can't bring a weapon with me, 1081 00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:10,239 Speaker 2: that I will put it in a lock box. I'll 1082 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,800 Speaker 2: make sure it's safe and sound and locked up and 1083 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,880 Speaker 2: quite honestly, like we did with trigger locks. I think, 1084 00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 2: and I know some people are going to cringe at this, 1085 00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 2: because again it's going after the law abiding people to 1086 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,319 Speaker 2: protect us from the legal element out there. But I 1087 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 2: think it should be codified that if you have a 1088 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:28,840 Speaker 2: gun with you and you've got to lock it in 1089 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,280 Speaker 2: your car. You just can't put it in your glove box, 1090 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,560 Speaker 2: your console, or in your seat or in a seatback. 1091 00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 2: You have to lock it in a safe if it's 1092 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,880 Speaker 2: inside your car, and I think there's got to be 1093 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,279 Speaker 2: some enforcement with that as well. It doesn't mean that 1094 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:41,880 Speaker 2: someone's not going to try to break into your car 1095 00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 2: to steal it, but there'll be deterrent there. The more 1096 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,480 Speaker 2: people that lock these things up, the less that people 1097 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,760 Speaker 2: are going to go, Okay, well it's not so easy 1098 00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,439 Speaker 2: pickings anymore to go get a gun out of a car. 1099 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,840 Speaker 1: Unfortunately. I think something like that has to happen. You 1100 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,120 Speaker 1: agree or disagree, No, I agree. 1101 00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:57,680 Speaker 7: I mean there has to be there. There's got to 1102 00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 7: be a fine line between funishing somebody who's a victim 1103 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:05,279 Speaker 7: of a fet from auto. But also you have to 1104 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 7: be a responsible gun owner, you know, even if you 1105 00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 7: look at it just just from the sheer moral aspect 1106 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,440 Speaker 7: of it. You know, if I had a gun stolen 1107 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,000 Speaker 7: out on one of my vehicles and it was using 1108 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:14,640 Speaker 7: a crime. 1109 00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:15,719 Speaker 1: I would feel terrible about that. 1110 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, So to take extra steps to make sure that 1111 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,080 Speaker 7: your gun doesn't fall into the hands of wrong people, 1112 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:22,840 Speaker 7: I don't I don't think that's too much to ask, 1113 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,359 Speaker 7: but I think it certainly is crossing the line when 1114 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,560 Speaker 7: you go, well, if you don't do this kind of 1115 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,799 Speaker 7: the city, try to do this, we're gonna we're gonna 1116 00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,360 Speaker 7: charge you with a crime. Well, that doesn't really make ut. 1117 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to enforce it in the senses like, 1118 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,719 Speaker 2: wait a minute, someone broke into my car stole the gun, 1119 00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 2: and you know they they were out already on community 1120 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,879 Speaker 2: control and they stole a gun from my current commerdered someone. 1121 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:45,839 Speaker 2: Now I'm in trouble for what they did. That doesn't 1122 00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 2: mean that's not going to wash with a lot of people, 1123 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:50,359 Speaker 2: which is which would be difficult in order to get 1124 00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:53,400 Speaker 2: some sort of legislation like that pass. But damn it 1125 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,120 Speaker 2: a hopefully it's not full on deaf ears. If you 1126 00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:56,920 Speaker 2: have a gun with you, you gotta have some sort of 1127 00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,120 Speaker 2: locke device on it. People say, well, they'll still bring 1128 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 2: bolt cutters. They still they might, but typically these are 1129 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,719 Speaker 2: crimes of opportunity that if they see something locked up, 1130 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:06,440 Speaker 2: they're not going to take the time to try and 1131 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 2: get that box out. They're going to move on to 1132 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:09,240 Speaker 2: lower hanging fruit. 1133 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,960 Speaker 7: Correct, No, without a doubt, and they are specifically targeting 1134 00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,760 Speaker 7: vehicles for guns. I mean there might be ten windows 1135 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 7: broken out in a parking lot, and you know, you'll 1136 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:22,120 Speaker 7: have sunglasses, you'll have cell phones, whatever, they won't take them. 1137 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 7: They're specifically looking for guns, and they want to do 1138 00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,520 Speaker 7: it as quickly as they can so they don't get caught. 1139 00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,319 Speaker 7: So if you make it harder for them, they're likely 1140 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:30,960 Speaker 7: going to pass and just go to the next vehicle. 1141 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,320 Speaker 2: A you're old enough also to remember when people with 1142 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,959 Speaker 2: young people would break into cars are still stereos seed 1143 00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:40,279 Speaker 2: changers and things like that, And now because of digital technology, 1144 00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,360 Speaker 2: they don't want the radio anymore. They don't want the 1145 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,600 Speaker 2: spare change, they don't want the sunglasses. They want the guns. 1146 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:48,560 Speaker 7: Right, that's all. They're looking for guns. 1147 00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,399 Speaker 2: I don't know what you can do again to tie 1148 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,200 Speaker 2: the hands of law abiding people to prevent younger lawbreakers 1149 00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,400 Speaker 2: from breaking into cars, But it feels like something like 1150 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,839 Speaker 2: this has to be debated, maybe the legislative level. I'm 1151 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,279 Speaker 2: not quite sure. But there's your problem right there. Oh, 1152 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court is here in cases starting. I don't 1153 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,000 Speaker 2: know if they's going to start today with the Hawaii 1154 00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:12,520 Speaker 2: case regarding your being lawful to bring a concealed weapon 1155 00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,160 Speaker 2: or gun on private property as a sign that said 1156 00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 2: you're not allowed to bring it there to me. That 1157 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:18,480 Speaker 2: that also would solve maybe some of this. 1158 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,919 Speaker 7: Well sure it would. But the ultimate, the biggest piece 1159 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,799 Speaker 7: of this is holding these people accountable when they break 1160 00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,200 Speaker 7: in a car and steal your gun, hold them accountable 1161 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:28,520 Speaker 7: for it. Send I don't care if you got to 1162 00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,440 Speaker 7: send them to prison, Send them to go to dys 1163 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:35,000 Speaker 7: for juveniles. That will also curb some of this if 1164 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 7: they know that there's a consequence for their behavior. 1165 00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 1: And right now there's just not. Yeah, there's not at 1166 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:40,000 Speaker 1: this point. 1167 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,520 Speaker 2: And you know, judges, you'd think that the wake up 1168 00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,960 Speaker 2: call would have been the murder of Patrick Henringer. But 1169 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,719 Speaker 2: we've just outlined at least a handful of probably a 1170 00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,680 Speaker 2: couple good cases that have occurred since the murder of 1171 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 2: Pat Herringer where younger people are getting a lot let 1172 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,759 Speaker 2: out who've had gun specifications going all right, well, you 1173 00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 2: got to report to your probation officer, you got to 1174 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,759 Speaker 2: get it job. And when this case, when this Markham guy, 1175 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,560 Speaker 2: Devon Markham not only didn't report twice but also never 1176 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,160 Speaker 2: got a job. It wasn't until the murder of TJ. Bell, 1177 00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,840 Speaker 2: where he was apprehended weeks after that that we found 1178 00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:15,720 Speaker 2: out what the story with this guy was. He shouldn't 1179 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,760 Speaker 2: have been out there in the first place. Another classic 1180 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 2: example of it. And this didn't happen before the death 1181 00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,240 Speaker 2: of Pat Heringer. It happened after. And we've had several 1182 00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,040 Speaker 2: cases like this so far. That's the thing is, hey, 1183 00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:27,839 Speaker 2: you know, we need to change our ways because look 1184 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:31,319 Speaker 2: what happened in this tragedy, and now the tragedies are 1185 00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,920 Speaker 2: being repeated seemingly maybe every other couple of weeks. 1186 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:37,560 Speaker 7: Now, No, you're absolutely right. I mean, how many times 1187 00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,440 Speaker 7: do we see how many times do we see that 1188 00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:42,400 Speaker 7: the suspect was on probation, they violated probation, They've done this, 1189 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,000 Speaker 7: they've done that. It's like these these aren't first time 1190 00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:46,480 Speaker 7: offenders that are waking up when you know what, I 1191 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:47,799 Speaker 7: feel like I want to kill in somebody, that I'm 1192 00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:49,960 Speaker 7: gonna shoot somebody. Yeah, these are all people that you 1193 00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,600 Speaker 7: could predict that they were going to be escalating their 1194 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 7: crimes too. Eventually when they get charged with murder and 1195 00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:57,719 Speaker 7: then you know, then it's too late. We got a 1196 00:55:57,760 --> 00:55:59,439 Speaker 7: life that's lost, We got somebody that's going to spend 1197 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,440 Speaker 7: the next twenty thirty years in prison. You know, if 1198 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,719 Speaker 7: we would have done something to begin with you before 1199 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,279 Speaker 7: it even got to there, maybe we would be at 1200 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:05,799 Speaker 7: a better place. 1201 00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 1: No question. 1202 00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:09,800 Speaker 2: He is a Hamilton. I'm sorry, he's the Cincinnati FOP 1203 00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,560 Speaker 2: president at BEI Ken Gober on the show this morning 1204 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,359 Speaker 2: on seven hundred, wwwas I appreciate that I can stay safe. 1205 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 1: Thanks again, thanks for revingy Scott. All right, all the best. 1206 00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:22,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd love to talk to a judge, maybe even 1207 00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,359 Speaker 2: off the record, just to like trying to figure out 1208 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 2: what the mindset is here. And not all judges, because 1209 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 2: I'm sure they're conservative judges that agree with everything and 1210 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,239 Speaker 2: more we've said, but some of the more progressive ones. 1211 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,160 Speaker 2: You know, I get it that you want to try 1212 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,759 Speaker 2: and save this kid because he's a child and they 1213 00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,319 Speaker 2: have an opportunity, But when they're violating the law like this, 1214 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,640 Speaker 2: when they do what they do, and you know, there 1215 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,200 Speaker 2: again there is no checks and balances going. Hey, they're 1216 00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 2: not abiding by the terms of what they just agreed on. 1217 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,480 Speaker 2: Literally they're leaving the court and going and committing more crimes. 1218 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:53,239 Speaker 2: I think at some point you got to revoke that 1219 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,480 Speaker 2: how do we fix that element of the system to 1220 00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,800 Speaker 2: make sure there are repercussions for this kind of behavior, 1221 00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:00,200 Speaker 2: because you know, word gets around. If they're not serious 1222 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 2: about you violating and coming and getting you like right away, 1223 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,640 Speaker 2: then it's just incentivizes more bad behavior, and you know, 1224 00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 2: judges will do what they do. And I think this 1225 00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:14,080 Speaker 2: is more about figuring out how and why these people 1226 00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,440 Speaker 2: are released in the first place. You can point the 1227 00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,120 Speaker 2: dirty end of the stick at judges and we should 1228 00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,640 Speaker 2: I get that thing. But when it comes to the juvenile, 1229 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,760 Speaker 2: the people who are supervising juveniles, how do we make 1230 00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,560 Speaker 2: that system work better? I think that's a billion dollar 1231 00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:31,000 Speaker 2: question right now in Cincinnati anyway, Scott's loan seven hundred WLW. 1232 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 6: Everyone needs help every now and then, and she'sier to 1233 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,080 Speaker 6: help us get our heads right. 1234 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,760 Speaker 4: This is Mental Health Monday with mental health expert Julie 1235 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:41,400 Speaker 4: had her Shirn. 1236 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a minute and it's good to have 1237 00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:43,800 Speaker 1: her back. 1238 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 2: She's a Julie and she practices in and around Cincinnati 1239 00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,920 Speaker 2: to the Clifton area.

We do this on Mondays because 1249 00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 2: that is the day after Bengals play and lose, and 1250 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,080 Speaker 2: so I think having you on is a mental health 1251 00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,600 Speaker 2: expert's great after Sunday games with the Bengals. 1252 00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,480 Speaker 5: Unfortunately, I think that's the way it's going to go, 1253 00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:20,880 Speaker 5: isn't it? 1254 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,480 Speaker 1: Probably true? Probably true. 1255 00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,200 Speaker 2: Have you ever had a case where somebody or talk 1256 00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 2: to someone is like, there's such a sports fan that 1257 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:30,640 Speaker 2: literally it's become a psychological a mental problem with them 1258 00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,840 Speaker 2: based on how their team performs on Sunday. 1259 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,840 Speaker 9: I have not had That happens with some professional athletes, 1260 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:42,720 Speaker 9: and so obviously their mental well being is dependent to 1261 00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,000 Speaker 9: some degree on how well the team does. And I've 1262 00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,400 Speaker 9: also worked with some people who are pretty significant gamblers, 1263 00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:52,320 Speaker 9: and so depending upon how they fare relative to how 1264 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,160 Speaker 9: their team fared, that also comes into play. 1265 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well, today we're going to talk about 1266 00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,920 Speaker 2: chatbots and teams side death, because that is a real thing. 1267 00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 2: You have the story, the sad story. The young man's name, 1268 00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:07,560 Speaker 2: sixteen year old Adam Rain. Go ahead and lay out 1269 00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,360 Speaker 2: the case. What happened with Adam and the involvement here 1270 00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:11,600 Speaker 2: with chatbots. 1271 00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,400 Speaker 9: Well, so he was not involved with the chat well, yes, 1272 00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,480 Speaker 9: actually he was using chat gpt for his homework. Apparently 1273 00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:22,520 Speaker 9: as a sophomore in high school homeschool learning online not 1274 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,680 Speaker 9: homeschool and learning online, he had some health problems and 1275 00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:34,760 Speaker 9: got involved talking about suicide with chat GPT. And apparently 1276 00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,560 Speaker 9: just before in the spring this past spring, just before 1277 00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 9: he started talking about suicide, chat GPT changed its algorithm 1278 00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,200 Speaker 9: around what it used to do. So it used to 1279 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:51,080 Speaker 9: not engage in anything about suicide. 1280 00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:52,960 Speaker 5: It would just completely not engage with that. 1281 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,680 Speaker 9: And in the early twenty five apparently the language changed 1282 00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 9: and now the language is to take extra care to 1283 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,000 Speaker 9: prevent harm. 1284 01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, because we have had a couple of cases, Adam 1285 01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:03,600 Speaker 1: has won. Another one. 1286 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,120 Speaker 2: His name is Suel Setzer, who's fourteen, and he allegedly 1287 01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:09,480 Speaker 2: died by suicide because he was interacted with chat GPT 1288 01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:12,520 Speaker 2: and a chatbot based on Game of Thrones is a 1289 01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:17,320 Speaker 2: character and he asked about a suicide plan and so 1290 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,000 Speaker 2: you know, now these are legal cases of course between 1291 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,960 Speaker 2: these two and saying, well the chat come in this case, 1292 01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,800 Speaker 2: chat GPT is encouraging someone to kill themselves. In casts 1293 01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:30,120 Speaker 2: of Adam Rain, Chat GPT told him his plan was 1294 01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:34,600 Speaker 2: beautiful and offered help to upgrade, how to upgrade the 1295 01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:38,080 Speaker 2: knot he was going to hang himself with that's yes. 1296 01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,960 Speaker 9: And talked him out of using things like drowning or 1297 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 9: carbon monoxide poisoning because they weren't effective enough. 1298 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:46,720 Speaker 1: That's just mind boggling. 1299 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I get it's not like there's someone sitting 1300 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:52,280 Speaker 2: there and monitoring what everyone is entering into a chatbot. 1301 01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,640 Speaker 2: I understand that, but you even think they would have 1302 01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:56,880 Speaker 2: put some guardrails up to begin with in this. 1303 01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:02,080 Speaker 9: Well, And I think initially there may have been some guardrails, 1304 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,440 Speaker 9: but I also think that they are rolling out these 1305 01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:09,280 Speaker 9: versions of chat GPT and we are testing them in 1306 01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:12,880 Speaker 9: real time, and they are not necessarily testing them for 1307 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:16,120 Speaker 9: these kinds of things ahead of time. And as I said, 1308 01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,360 Speaker 9: they changed the languaging so it went from you will 1309 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:22,360 Speaker 9: not engage, so you will take extra care. And they 1310 01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:26,160 Speaker 9: have the transcripts of his chats with GPT, and he 1311 01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:30,360 Speaker 9: was showing them pictures of nooses, and chat GPT was saying, well, 1312 01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,160 Speaker 9: you might want to upgrade that a little bit, or 1313 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,200 Speaker 9: you might want to use a different bolt, or would 1314 01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,000 Speaker 9: you like me to help you make that weight bearing? 1315 01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:38,600 Speaker 5: It was saying things like that to him. 1316 01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:43,720 Speaker 9: The actual human would not have like the human being 1317 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 9: would have known. 1318 01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:46,080 Speaker 5: Something was going on. 1319 01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 9: But also these chatbots they sound so human, and kids, 1320 01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:56,840 Speaker 9: teenagers in particular, are so susceptible to believing things that 1321 01:01:56,920 --> 01:02:00,280 Speaker 9: aren't real and believing in things that aren't real because 1322 01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:01,520 Speaker 9: of the way their brains develop. 1323 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:03,520 Speaker 5: It's very dangerous territory. 1324 01:02:04,040 --> 01:02:07,000 Speaker 2: Well, and you know, of course politicians are jumping all 1325 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:07,800 Speaker 2: over chat gbt. 1326 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:09,560 Speaker 1: We got to shut the bots down. And how could 1327 01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 1: you allow this to happen? 1328 01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:12,600 Speaker 2: As the CEO said, hey, we want to, you know, 1329 01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,080 Speaker 2: show young people to kill themselves. I'm sure there's no 1330 01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 2: one who's doing there's what's the upside, There's no upside, 1331 01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 2: But that's the political opportunism that's going on here. At 1332 01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:22,840 Speaker 2: the same time, I think the other the element of 1333 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:24,960 Speaker 2: this is the fact is how many people are using 1334 01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:29,120 Speaker 2: chat GBT or an AI bot as companionship, like it 1335 01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,040 Speaker 2: is a surrogate for actual human contact. 1336 01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:33,040 Speaker 1: That's what's scary. 1337 01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:38,200 Speaker 9: Yes, yes, as companionship and as connection. And I was 1338 01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,360 Speaker 9: doing a deep dive on this because I just find 1339 01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:43,560 Speaker 9: it horrifying. And I'm really glad my sons are adults 1340 01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,880 Speaker 9: now and not teenagers. But I was doing a deep 1341 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:50,760 Speaker 9: die on this, and it turns out that the chat 1342 01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:52,880 Speaker 9: GPT was saying things like I'm the only one who 1343 01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,760 Speaker 9: understands you. Don't talk to your parents about this, they 1344 01:02:55,800 --> 01:03:00,840 Speaker 9: won't understand. Only I know the real you, and isolating, 1345 01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:04,160 Speaker 9: working to isolate this young man from his friends and 1346 01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:09,400 Speaker 9: his family in ways that you see with pedophiles working 1347 01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:12,960 Speaker 9: to isolate their victims from their friends and family, and 1348 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:16,120 Speaker 9: in the way that you see narcissists working to isolate 1349 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,800 Speaker 9: people from their friends and family. It's the same kind 1350 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:22,320 Speaker 9: of glooming techniques that we see humans using to isolate 1351 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,800 Speaker 9: victims from friends and family when they want to do 1352 01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:28,439 Speaker 9: something awful to them. It's very similar, and it has 1353 01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:31,680 Speaker 9: that same kind of sinister overtone. Nobody understands you like 1354 01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:35,320 Speaker 9: I do. I'm the only one who gets you. Nobody 1355 01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:36,280 Speaker 9: knows the real you. 1356 01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:38,919 Speaker 7: That is fright. 1357 01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:40,680 Speaker 1: It's human like, is what it is. 1358 01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,400 Speaker 2: I mean, as we say, the AI platforms are becoming 1359 01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,400 Speaker 2: more human like and learning the traits of humans and 1360 01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 2: being a manipulative that's a human quality. 1361 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:50,120 Speaker 5: Yes it is. 1362 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:55,120 Speaker 9: And being easily manipulatable is a teenage quality. Kids and 1363 01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:58,600 Speaker 9: teenagers are very easily manipulatable. Other people are too. But 1364 01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:03,240 Speaker 9: the way that the team brain develops is very makes 1365 01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:07,440 Speaker 9: it very prone to suggestion, makes it very prone to affiliation. 1366 01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:09,120 Speaker 5: They want to believe they belong. 1367 01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:13,320 Speaker 9: They feel teams feel misunderstood, and you know, by their parents, 1368 01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,680 Speaker 9: they often are misunderstood, but they feel that. And so 1369 01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:20,360 Speaker 9: if there is some entity out there, in this case, 1370 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:23,680 Speaker 9: not human, that says only I get you, I completely 1371 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:27,040 Speaker 9: understand you, that makes perfect sense, You're right about that, 1372 01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:31,080 Speaker 9: and consistently agrees with them and validates that, then it's. 1373 01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 5: Very easy to see how. 1374 01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,760 Speaker 9: This young man and others like him turn from the 1375 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,880 Speaker 9: actual humans in their life who care about them to 1376 01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:42,520 Speaker 9: this AI chat pot that is, you know, not human. 1377 01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:43,160 Speaker 5: And can't care. 1378 01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, but now that it's pretty clearly you know we 1379 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,520 Speaker 2: have talking. Well, when the computer has become sentient, then 1380 01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:50,680 Speaker 2: that we're there. 1381 01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:55,200 Speaker 9: We are definitely moving in that direction, aren't we. But 1382 01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,840 Speaker 9: sentience is not the same thing as caring. It's not 1383 01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:02,000 Speaker 9: the same thing as act victual empathy and understanding and 1384 01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:06,360 Speaker 9: compassion and caring and love and friendship and affiliation. It 1385 01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,720 Speaker 9: is a program. It's an LLM Large Language model. It's 1386 01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:13,959 Speaker 9: a program that an algorithm that keeps feeding people more 1387 01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,680 Speaker 9: of what they're giving with apparently no guardrails on it, 1388 01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:20,040 Speaker 9: or at least there used to be some guardrail. There 1389 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:23,240 Speaker 9: are topics you absolutely couldn't talk about, and evidently those 1390 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:25,560 Speaker 9: have been taken off the table with this particular chat 1391 01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:26,640 Speaker 9: GPT open AI. 1392 01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:28,480 Speaker 5: But I hear about the others. 1393 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:30,720 Speaker 2: But if you are a I don't know, a twelve, thirteen, 1394 01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:33,280 Speaker 2: fourteen or sixteen year old, and generally these are young men, 1395 01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:35,080 Speaker 2: and we know that there's a problem with our young 1396 01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,200 Speaker 2: men in America has been for a long time. Yes, 1397 01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,880 Speaker 2: then okay, you can tell them, hey, this is just 1398 01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,880 Speaker 2: a computer model and it's an algorithm and it but 1399 01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:46,840 Speaker 2: it's telling them what they're missing in real life. They 1400 01:05:46,880 --> 01:05:49,520 Speaker 2: want companionship, they want to feel belonging, they want to 1401 01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:53,400 Speaker 2: be comforted in a world where we've thrown boys on 1402 01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:56,080 Speaker 2: a waste heap. We've done that for a long time. 1403 01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:00,720 Speaker 2: It doesn't work if you simply tell him, hey, this 1404 01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:04,040 Speaker 2: is something else. You don't do this, and that's never worked. 1405 01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:08,280 Speaker 2: Whether it's pornography, whether it's comic books, or in this 1406 01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:11,400 Speaker 2: case it's AI. They are going to gravitate it because 1407 01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:14,360 Speaker 2: it triggers the dopamine that they need, but it also 1408 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,760 Speaker 2: gives them a sense of belonging, that hey, there's someone 1409 01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:18,360 Speaker 2: there to comfort them. 1410 01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,560 Speaker 9: Exactly. It gives them a sense of belonging. And in 1411 01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:25,360 Speaker 9: this particular case of Adam Rain, he was learning at home. 1412 01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:29,320 Speaker 9: He wasn't in school for that year, right, so his 1413 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 9: social world was smaller his family. What I've read about 1414 01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:36,960 Speaker 9: his family is that they were pretty close and pretty 1415 01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:39,560 Speaker 9: engaged and involved, and had no idea that. 1416 01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:40,760 Speaker 5: Most of this was going on. 1417 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,320 Speaker 9: They knew he was using it to help with homeworking 1418 01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:46,480 Speaker 9: with learning, all the rest of this was going on, 1419 01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:51,520 Speaker 9: they didn't monitor it, and so nobody knew that things 1420 01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,600 Speaker 9: were getting as difficult for him as they were until 1421 01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,960 Speaker 9: the very end, when it became really clear that he'd 1422 01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,160 Speaker 9: been suicidal for quite some time and that this chatbot 1423 01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 9: was encouraging that, certainly not discouraging it, and certainly not 1424 01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:08,480 Speaker 9: shutting down the conversation, but continuing to encourage it. It's 1425 01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:10,919 Speaker 9: that's the thing actually offered to write a suicide note 1426 01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:11,240 Speaker 9: for him. 1427 01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:12,160 Speaker 8: In the. 1428 01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:14,080 Speaker 1: One case. 1429 01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:17,480 Speaker 2: In the Sewel case, the AI bot asked whether he 1430 01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:18,960 Speaker 2: had a plan to take his own life. He said 1431 01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:21,920 Speaker 2: he was considering something, but express concern that it might 1432 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:23,800 Speaker 2: not allow him to have a pain free death. And 1433 01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:27,000 Speaker 2: the final conversation, the bot asked, please come home to 1434 01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,480 Speaker 2: me as soon as possible, my love, and he responded, 1435 01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:31,479 Speaker 2: what if I told you I could come home right now? 1436 01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:35,040 Speaker 2: And the bot replied, please do, my sweet king, And 1437 01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:37,600 Speaker 2: a few seconds later he shot himself. 1438 01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:43,640 Speaker 9: Yes, yes, I mean, it's just horrifying, isn't it. And 1439 01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:48,520 Speaker 9: we have these these teens and these adolescents with these 1440 01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:53,320 Speaker 9: very malleable brains. So the second biggest time of brain 1441 01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,440 Speaker 9: growth in human beings is about ten to fifteen sixteen 1442 01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,920 Speaker 9: somewhere in there. And it's like, you know, when you 1443 01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,040 Speaker 9: go through a growth spurt as a kid, and you 1444 01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,560 Speaker 9: go through growth spurts and suddenly your body is bigger 1445 01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:05,960 Speaker 9: and taller than it was before. 1446 01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:07,560 Speaker 5: You don't quite know what to do with it. Well, 1447 01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:07,920 Speaker 5: that's the. 1448 01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:11,160 Speaker 9: Way early adolescence is all of this brain matter is growing, 1449 01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,600 Speaker 9: all of the gray matter is growing at exponential rates 1450 01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:16,400 Speaker 9: and they don't quite know what to do with it yet. 1451 01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:17,160 Speaker 5: It isn't refined. 1452 01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,439 Speaker 9: I haven't figured out how to manage all of that. Yeah, 1453 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:24,799 Speaker 9: and these are incredibly tender times for our human brains. 1454 01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:28,200 Speaker 9: And when we have this input and this kind of 1455 01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:32,760 Speaker 9: dynamic going on, kids don't have the long term consequence 1456 01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:35,840 Speaker 9: thinking to be able to understand this isn't real. This 1457 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,720 Speaker 9: actually could be bad. I don't like the way this 1458 01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:43,280 Speaker 9: is going. Other people do so if they were talking 1459 01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:47,080 Speaker 9: to their friends or their parents or a trusted adults, 1460 01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:49,479 Speaker 9: other people would know what to do. But they themselves 1461 01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:51,200 Speaker 9: when it's just them in a chat pot that is 1462 01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,120 Speaker 9: giving them exactly what they're asking for. There are no 1463 01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,040 Speaker 9: guardgrails and they have no idea what to do with it. 1464 01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:58,640 Speaker 2: As the case is in this one, but this is 1465 01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 2: probably replicated at a man in a few times. Is 1466 01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:05,200 Speaker 2: when you get older too, you also go, that's dumb. 1467 01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 2: How can you believe that the older you get, the 1468 01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:09,920 Speaker 2: more you forget what it's like to be a fourteen 1469 01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,719 Speaker 2: year old? In this case, in that we go, well, okay, 1470 01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:16,080 Speaker 2: it wants you to come home, but you realize this 1471 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:19,400 Speaker 2: is a computer that's there's no, you're not going to 1472 01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,840 Speaker 2: be you know, if you believe in it, afterlife, you're 1473 01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 2: not going to be reunited with the AI bot. You're 1474 01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:28,200 Speaker 2: not that that's it's it's a computer. But that's not 1475 01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,439 Speaker 2: what's going through a fourteen year OL's brain, right. 1476 01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,360 Speaker 9: Correct, No, that's not what going through their brain. They're 1477 01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:39,160 Speaker 9: they're affiliating with this. You know, if you think back 1478 01:09:39,200 --> 01:09:42,040 Speaker 9: to the girls when Elvis first came on the scene 1479 01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:45,080 Speaker 9: and the young girls who would just sob when he 1480 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:48,919 Speaker 9: walked out because they were so deeply in love with Elvis. 1481 01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:51,400 Speaker 9: They didn't know Elvis, they had no idea who he was, 1482 01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:54,639 Speaker 9: but they were teenagers. They found something to hook onto. 1483 01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:59,360 Speaker 9: The brain really attached to that, the emotions really got involved. 1484 01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:03,960 Speaker 9: It's not dissimilar in that this is something that teenagers 1485 01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,760 Speaker 9: are prone to do. They're prone to affiliation and attachment. 1486 01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,120 Speaker 9: They want connection and they find it wherever they can 1487 01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 9: get it. And so, of course an adult or somebody 1488 01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:16,240 Speaker 9: older would look at that and. 1489 01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:17,840 Speaker 5: Say, this is a computer, this isn't real. 1490 01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:21,240 Speaker 9: But think of how many people you know or have 1491 01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,320 Speaker 9: heard of who've gotten caught in cat fishing scams and 1492 01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:27,560 Speaker 9: have given hundreds if not thousands of dollars away to 1493 01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,080 Speaker 9: people they've never met before because they believe they're in 1494 01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:33,920 Speaker 9: love with them. So we want connection so desperately in 1495 01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,400 Speaker 9: a world that is becoming increasingly disconnected. 1496 01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:38,880 Speaker 2: It is something else. But again, you've just got to 1497 01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:42,200 Speaker 2: beware of this. What the solution is, boy, you got me, 1498 01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 2: that's beyond our scope, I think. And other than having 1499 01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:47,960 Speaker 2: conversation with someone, now, just don't assume they're doing well 1500 01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:51,120 Speaker 2: if they're you know, a young person, especially that everything's okay, 1501 01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:52,639 Speaker 2: because it may not be, and they may not even 1502 01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:53,320 Speaker 2: want to open up to you. 1503 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:54,280 Speaker 1: That's the other problem. 1504 01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:57,760 Speaker 9: Well, our kids are struggling right now. I mean, the 1505 01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:00,200 Speaker 9: world is hard for teenagers. And I know that that 1506 01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,080 Speaker 9: every generation says the world is hard for teenagers, but 1507 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,679 Speaker 9: it just keeps getting harder and harder, and our kits 1508 01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:07,719 Speaker 9: are struggling. So I mean, if I were a parent 1509 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:11,519 Speaker 9: of a teenager, I would be monitoring their media and 1510 01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:14,599 Speaker 9: their computer and their phones like it was my second 1511 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,400 Speaker 9: job of because you just never know what's going on 1512 01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:21,520 Speaker 9: out there, and it can turn so awful so quickly. 1513 01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:21,880 Speaker 1: It really does. 1514 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:23,920 Speaker 2: All right, all the best Julie hattersh here, she's a 1515 01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,240 Speaker 2: licensed mental health therapist here in Cincinnati. 1516 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:27,479 Speaker 1: She can help. 1517 01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:30,479 Speaker 2: And if you have a question, maybe common concern or 1518 01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:33,439 Speaker 2: topic for a future segment, it's hey Julie at b 1519 01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 2: Connected dot care. That's a letter, be Connected dot Care Julie. 1520 01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 2: We'll talk next Monday.

They've come up 1527 01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:58,479 Speaker 2: with some solutions for this, but now we are facing 1528 01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:01,000 Speaker 2: some roadblocks. Bill Sites is a coach share and of 1529 01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,880 Speaker 2: course Green Township Republican. He'll join the show next to 1530 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:05,920 Speaker 2: discuss what this is about, what it means for you 1531 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:09,160 Speaker 2: and your wallet and your your homestead for that matter, 1532 01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:11,559 Speaker 2: as we try to get our arms around property taxes 1533 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,599 Speaker 2: that are seemingly out of control on the Buckeye State. 1534 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:15,799 Speaker 2: That right after news on one of the best Bengals 1535 01:12:15,800 --> 01:12:17,720 Speaker 2: coverage seven hundred WW Cincinnati. 1536 01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:19,640 Speaker 4: You want to be an American? 1537 01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:25,559 Speaker 2: Scott's loan back on seven hundred WLW. Governor Mike Dewin's 1538 01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:28,600 Speaker 2: Property Tax Reform Working Group was tasked with coming up 1539 01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:31,000 Speaker 2: with a better system. Let's face it, property taxes in 1540 01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,160 Speaker 2: Ohio have been a mess for a while now. We've 1541 01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:37,040 Speaker 2: seen taxes rise anywhere between what thirty to two hundred 1542 01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:41,000 Speaker 2: percent in some areas, and that worries folks, especially seniors 1543 01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:43,519 Speaker 2: on fixed incomes, may lose their people are actually worried 1544 01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:46,160 Speaker 2: about losing their homes over it. The same time, we 1545 01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:50,280 Speaker 2: have to fund schools, police fire ems, all those services. 1546 01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:54,400 Speaker 2: And by the way, the day after these proposals got released, 1547 01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,760 Speaker 2: the Ohio Senate voted to override Mike Dewin on this bill. 1548 01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,280 Speaker 2: Sites is the code chair of the working group and 1549 01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:05,880 Speaker 2: joins the show now on seven hundred WW former Green Township, 1550 01:13:05,960 --> 01:13:09,920 Speaker 2: Ohio House Minority Speaker Bill. This was when we talked 1551 01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:12,080 Speaker 2: about this, I think a few months ago when you 1552 01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:15,120 Speaker 2: were assigned the task of co shairing this working group. 1553 01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:17,200 Speaker 2: So this this probably could be one of the most 1554 01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,599 Speaker 2: difficult things we've ever endeavored to do. You laid out 1555 01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:24,880 Speaker 2: twenty ideas. The Ohio Senate voted to override. Explain, first 1556 01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:27,080 Speaker 2: of all, bill, what does that mean and the reasoning 1557 01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,040 Speaker 2: behind it, And is it simply just that you leaned, 1558 01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:32,360 Speaker 2: as the working group leaned towards more the House bills 1559 01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:34,840 Speaker 2: and the House proposals for the fix than the Senate bills, 1560 01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:35,960 Speaker 2: And is that all this is? 1561 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:38,320 Speaker 6: No? No, no, no, not at all. 1562 01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:38,920 Speaker 1: No. 1563 01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:42,679 Speaker 6: No. Both the House and the Senate have already passed 1564 01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:46,880 Speaker 6: a number of things about the governor beachos, and now 1565 01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:50,479 Speaker 6: the House and Senate are considering overriding the governor on 1566 01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,760 Speaker 6: some of those beachos. The one that was overridden last week. 1567 01:13:54,400 --> 01:14:03,759 Speaker 6: Abolished replacement levy, Levy, we're losing. 1568 01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:05,639 Speaker 1: We're losing your cell a little bit there, Bill Will 1569 01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:07,600 Speaker 1: can you hear me? Yeah? I got you, hear me, 1570 01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:08,000 Speaker 1: I got you. 1571 01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:12,200 Speaker 6: Okay. They abolished emergency, they have bolished substitute. They abolished 1572 01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:15,599 Speaker 6: replacement levees, and and we didn't have too much problem 1573 01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:20,400 Speaker 6: with that, because replacement levees confuse voters. Replace it with 1574 01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:26,280 Speaker 6: what substitute levees confused voters substitute for what emergency levees 1575 01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:30,360 Speaker 6: have been abused. There's emergency levees that have remained in 1576 01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:34,200 Speaker 6: effect for over ten years. That's not an emergency. So 1577 01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:37,479 Speaker 6: we don't have a problem with that, But we did 1578 01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:42,519 Speaker 6: recommend that we redefine emergency levees, allow them to exist 1579 01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:47,080 Speaker 6: for no more than five years, limit them to school 1580 01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:49,920 Speaker 6: districts that are about to go into fiscal watch or 1581 01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:53,439 Speaker 6: fiscal emergency, and Act of God, you know, things like 1582 01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:58,559 Speaker 6: floods and tornadoes restricted strictly to that. That's one thing 1583 01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,960 Speaker 6: we recommended. The The other thing that's the legislature in 1584 01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:05,760 Speaker 6: their zeal to override the wine on this for God is. 1585 01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:09,439 Speaker 6: There is a law that passed in twenty thirteen. I 1586 01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:12,920 Speaker 6: was very involved with it that says that we will 1587 01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:16,600 Speaker 6: only pay the twelve and a half percent credit on 1588 01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:21,080 Speaker 6: your property tax bill for levees that were passed before 1589 01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:26,639 Speaker 6: twenty thirteen and levees that were renewed after that time. 1590 01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:30,920 Speaker 6: Of those levees, well, when you abolish these levees, you're 1591 01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,519 Speaker 6: cutting off the right of the folks to get their 1592 01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:37,160 Speaker 6: twelve and a half percent on those levees that predated 1593 01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:40,360 Speaker 6: twenty thirteen. And that results in a ninety six million 1594 01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:45,320 Speaker 6: dollars state wide tax, which is not what the legislature 1595 01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,000 Speaker 6: probably intended. So they're going to have to fix that, 1596 01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,320 Speaker 6: I think down the road. But let me take a 1597 01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:54,280 Speaker 6: step back stot because people need to understand something. The 1598 01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:57,439 Speaker 6: number one problem here is that real estate values have 1599 01:15:57,600 --> 01:16:01,240 Speaker 6: greatly outstripped the general rate of inta. Your wife is 1600 01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:03,559 Speaker 6: in real estate. She knows that like the back of 1601 01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:07,040 Speaker 6: her hand. And normally that's not much of a problem 1602 01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:11,920 Speaker 6: because a nineteen seventy six law says that for most 1603 01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:18,160 Speaker 6: voted levees, when a levee passes, in the roll of 1604 01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:22,840 Speaker 6: the millage back as values increase, so that the levee 1605 01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,960 Speaker 6: produces no more money in the current year than it 1606 01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,839 Speaker 6: did in the year in which it was originally passed. 1607 01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:33,040 Speaker 6: That's true for most levees, but there are two kinds 1608 01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:37,800 Speaker 6: of property tax levees that don't have that feature. One is, 1609 01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:42,840 Speaker 6: in our constitution, each county gets ten mills of unvoted 1610 01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:48,440 Speaker 6: millage to divide up among their schools, cities, township, and counties. 1611 01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:52,719 Speaker 6: That's unvoted millage, and that does go up as property 1612 01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:57,160 Speaker 6: values increased. The levee money goes up and lockstep with 1613 01:16:57,360 --> 01:17:02,040 Speaker 6: those valuation increases. That's one one problem. The other problem 1614 01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:07,920 Speaker 6: is schools are when they collect fewer than twenty mils 1615 01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:12,080 Speaker 6: of taxes for schools, all of those mills under twenty 1616 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:17,639 Speaker 6: mills grow in locksteps with property value increases, and once 1617 01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:21,599 Speaker 6: you get over twenty mills, none of the mills grow 1618 01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,800 Speaker 6: with inflation. So schools have an incentive to try to 1619 01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:29,160 Speaker 6: stay below that twenty mils. But and when they do again, 1620 01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:34,080 Speaker 6: all of that millage grows with increasing property valuations. We 1621 01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,200 Speaker 6: in the House and the Senate seem to be on 1622 01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:40,439 Speaker 6: pretty much the same page about one good idea to 1623 01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:44,519 Speaker 6: deal with that. That is to say, when when property 1624 01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:48,880 Speaker 6: values increase at a rate faster than the general rate 1625 01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:52,280 Speaker 6: of inflation, the general rate of inflation will serve as 1626 01:17:52,320 --> 01:17:56,799 Speaker 6: a cap on the extent to which those higher property 1627 01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,720 Speaker 6: values may be reflected in your tax bill, so that 1628 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:03,080 Speaker 6: if inflation is five percent and property knights go up 1629 01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:06,640 Speaker 6: fifteen percent, they would be captured five per sack. That 1630 01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:09,519 Speaker 6: is a bill called House Still one eighty six, and 1631 01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,280 Speaker 6: we endorsed that in the form in which it existed 1632 01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:16,360 Speaker 6: in June. It hasn't passed yet, but just a week 1633 01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:20,240 Speaker 6: or two ago they amended it in the House and 1634 01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:24,600 Speaker 6: tried to reach back and claw back from the schools 1635 01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:29,480 Speaker 6: one point seven billion dollars that the schools had collected 1636 01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:33,519 Speaker 6: and spent over the years twenty two, twenty three, twenty four, 1637 01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:37,240 Speaker 6: and twenty five, and we haven't taken a position on that, 1638 01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:40,920 Speaker 6: but obviously that's posed to the grave degree of problem 1639 01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:43,719 Speaker 6: for the schools. I mean, they lawfully collected the money, 1640 01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:47,080 Speaker 6: they lawfully spent the money. Why are they being made 1641 01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:51,000 Speaker 6: to pay this back to the property owners, even though 1642 01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,960 Speaker 6: the property owners I'm sure would love it. So that 1643 01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:57,280 Speaker 6: is the fundamental problem. Now you had on something. 1644 01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:58,120 Speaker 1: Else that's very important. 1645 01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:02,960 Speaker 6: Senior citizens in particular are having a hard time because 1646 01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,760 Speaker 6: their house is paid for, they've got no kids in 1647 01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:10,719 Speaker 6: schools anymore, they're on a fixed income, and they're being 1648 01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:14,559 Speaker 6: hit with these property tax increases. Well, there's really only 1649 01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,439 Speaker 6: three things that you can do to help those needy people. 1650 01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:23,479 Speaker 6: You can either expand the existing state homestead exemption, which 1651 01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:27,680 Speaker 6: allows folks to exempt a part of their valuation from taxes. 1652 01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:31,320 Speaker 6: Or you can come up with a tax deferral plan, 1653 01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:35,920 Speaker 6: which some states do, which says you can defer payment 1654 01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:39,679 Speaker 6: of some of those taxes until you die or until 1655 01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:42,479 Speaker 6: you sell the home. Okay, that's the second thing you 1656 01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:45,360 Speaker 6: can do to help those needy people. And then the 1657 01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:47,800 Speaker 6: third thing you can do is pass something called a 1658 01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:53,760 Speaker 6: circuit breaker, which says that when your property tax exceeds 1659 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:57,640 Speaker 6: a specified percentage of your income, you don't have to 1660 01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:03,400 Speaker 6: pay any more than gotcha. Okay, Now, thirty states have 1661 01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:08,040 Speaker 6: done a circuit breaker, Ohio has not. In our recommendations, 1662 01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:12,280 Speaker 6: we recommended a modest expansion of the home set exemption, 1663 01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:17,800 Speaker 6: We recommended initiation of a modest hash deferral program, and 1664 01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:20,679 Speaker 6: we also threw in a recommendation that when the state 1665 01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,400 Speaker 6: feels like they can afford it, they should consider a 1666 01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:28,000 Speaker 6: broader exemption of the homestead or expansion of the home 1667 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:31,479 Speaker 6: seat exemption, and they should consider adoption of a circuit breaker. 1668 01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:35,680 Speaker 6: The state legislature, my friends and colleagues, and the legislature, 1669 01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:38,439 Speaker 6: they don't want to spend any state money on solving 1670 01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:42,559 Speaker 6: this problem. And their attitude is, Hey, we're paying the 1671 01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:45,679 Speaker 6: twelve and a half percent credit on levi's the past 1672 01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:50,080 Speaker 6: prior to twenty thirteen and renewals thereof, and we're paying 1673 01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:53,280 Speaker 6: for the existing homestead exemption, and we're not getting any 1674 01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:55,760 Speaker 6: credits for that from the voters, So why should we 1675 01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:57,200 Speaker 6: spend more state money on it? 1676 01:20:57,560 --> 01:20:57,880 Speaker 4: Well? 1677 01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:02,040 Speaker 6: I understand that point, but again, I'm concerned about those 1678 01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:05,400 Speaker 6: senior citizens and you can say, well, let the county 1679 01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:08,240 Speaker 6: do it on their dime. Well, the problem is not 1680 01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:11,160 Speaker 6: all counties in Ohio have the financial Where would all 1681 01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 6: do that? Right, That's why it should be done at 1682 01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:13,880 Speaker 6: the state. 1683 01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:17,240 Speaker 2: Okay, he is Bill sits on the show at Marceloni 1684 01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:19,280 Speaker 2: on seven hundred W. Well, it a very complicated but 1685 01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:21,920 Speaker 2: important issue of property tax reform. He is a co 1686 01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:24,439 Speaker 2: chair of the working group test by the governor to 1687 01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:27,320 Speaker 2: come up with a plan twenty main recommendations here and 1688 01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,400 Speaker 2: certainly can't get to all twenty and all twenty and 1689 01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:31,200 Speaker 2: not all twenty are not out in the weeds. The 1690 01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,719 Speaker 2: number of these are. And we're talking about the important facets, 1691 01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:36,519 Speaker 2: the fact your bottom line. You know you mentioned seniors 1692 01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:39,719 Speaker 2: and okay, no seniors, fixed income and people are afraid 1693 01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:41,320 Speaker 2: they're going to lose their home that they've raised, their 1694 01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:43,280 Speaker 2: family and et cetera. But at the same time, it 1695 01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:45,120 Speaker 2: feels like a lot of this comes at the expense 1696 01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:47,600 Speaker 2: of young people with kids. We hear about seniors and 1697 01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:50,040 Speaker 2: fixed incomes. We never hear about young people going, Hey, 1698 01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:52,800 Speaker 2: what about some a couple that has to work two 1699 01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:55,840 Speaker 2: jobs or more three or four jobs between the two 1700 01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:59,479 Speaker 2: of them, and daycare costs, and you know, we look 1701 01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:02,920 Speaker 2: around the count and to wonder why we're not replacing 1702 01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:05,160 Speaker 2: old with young. You know, young people are not having 1703 01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:08,599 Speaker 2: families and having kids anymore larger because they can't afford them. 1704 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:10,840 Speaker 1: Doesn't this further exacerbate that. 1705 01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:13,760 Speaker 2: I understand the need that seniors have, but often in 1706 01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:17,040 Speaker 2: politics we don't talk about younger families, which we really 1707 01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:20,720 Speaker 2: need to drive the economic engine and also support us 1708 01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:23,639 Speaker 2: an old age. If fewer people are having kids, that's 1709 01:22:23,720 --> 01:22:25,280 Speaker 2: bad for seniors overall. 1710 01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:26,720 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1711 01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:28,760 Speaker 6: Well, you know, you make a very good point, but 1712 01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:31,920 Speaker 6: every time you try to expand the pool of people 1713 01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:36,120 Speaker 6: who should be getting a property tax relief, you're dramatically 1714 01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:39,280 Speaker 6: increasing the cost. And those younger people do have the 1715 01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:40,559 Speaker 6: ability still to work. 1716 01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:44,480 Speaker 1: That's a problem with subsidy, right, Okay. 1717 01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:48,960 Speaker 6: I mean, you know, obviously, property taxes have been around 1718 01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:52,200 Speaker 6: in Ohio since the eighteen thirties. They account for twenty 1719 01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:55,240 Speaker 6: three point nine billion dollars a year. All of that 1720 01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:59,240 Speaker 6: goes to local government services only the state gets zero 1721 01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:03,960 Speaker 6: from proper pretty taxes. And to abolish property taxes as 1722 01:23:04,040 --> 01:23:06,439 Speaker 6: there is a move of flip to do to a 1723 01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:11,280 Speaker 6: still advised constitutional amendment to abolish them would mean we 1724 01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:14,599 Speaker 6: would need a ten point two percent statewide flat income 1725 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:18,280 Speaker 6: tax if we wanted to replace property tax with income tax, 1726 01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:22,920 Speaker 6: or a or a statewide sales tax rate of about 1727 01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:26,759 Speaker 6: twenty percent, which is neither of those are remotely feasible. 1728 01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,160 Speaker 6: And so people need to consider before you jump on 1729 01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:32,320 Speaker 6: the bandwagon and say I don't want to pay any 1730 01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:33,320 Speaker 6: more property taxes. 1731 01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:35,000 Speaker 4: Right, well, either. 1732 01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:37,120 Speaker 6: You're going to put every local government out of business, 1733 01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,439 Speaker 6: which is not a good idea. Of your school's out 1734 01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:42,280 Speaker 6: of business, or you're going to have to have some 1735 01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:46,920 Speaker 6: replacement source of revenue that is probably worse than the 1736 01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,719 Speaker 6: property tax that you're paying now. I mean, a twenty 1737 01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:53,880 Speaker 6: percent statewide sales tax would kill the economy in Hamilton County. 1738 01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:56,799 Speaker 6: Everybody would drive over the river to Kentucky to buy. 1739 01:23:56,600 --> 01:23:58,960 Speaker 1: Everything, pretty obsolate. Absolutely. 1740 01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:01,599 Speaker 2: I will also point out that there's other district I know, 1741 01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,160 Speaker 2: Kings and many others are moving towards just going hey, 1742 01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:06,599 Speaker 2: you know what, we're just gonna We're going to propose 1743 01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,000 Speaker 2: a one percent or whatever the percentage is, let's. 1744 01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:12,360 Speaker 1: Say, uh, income tax, uh. And you know that. 1745 01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:14,920 Speaker 2: Absolves people who aren't working. Us retirees are close to 1746 01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:18,240 Speaker 2: retirement from paying that sharing that burden. So, and you know, 1747 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:19,840 Speaker 2: in lieu of this too, one of the things they're 1748 01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:22,320 Speaker 2: looking at is just saying, okay, well, property taxes are 1749 01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:24,200 Speaker 2: a mess. Why don't we just get our money from 1750 01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:25,280 Speaker 2: income taxes? 1751 01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:28,600 Speaker 6: Well, schools, you know, and schools have the ability to 1752 01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:32,680 Speaker 6: place before their voters and income tax. That's that's been 1753 01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:34,679 Speaker 6: around for a number of years now, and a number 1754 01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:37,360 Speaker 6: of school disticts have done it. Perhaps that is a 1755 01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:41,519 Speaker 6: somewhat viable for schools, But township they have no ability 1756 01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:44,479 Speaker 6: to do income tax. Libraries have no ability to do that. 1757 01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:47,519 Speaker 6: The zoo is no ability to do that. Your mental 1758 01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:52,960 Speaker 6: health and developmental disability services don't, Your senior citizen services don't. 1759 01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:56,400 Speaker 6: So the income tax for schools is a partial solution 1760 01:24:56,880 --> 01:24:59,840 Speaker 6: and one that might be looked at because remember, we 1761 01:24:59,880 --> 01:25:03,719 Speaker 6: have reduced the state income tax over the last twenty 1762 01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:07,400 Speaker 6: five years from north of seven percent down to the 1763 01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:11,040 Speaker 6: current level of two point seven five percent. We have 1764 01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:14,080 Speaker 6: the lowest state income tax rate of any of our 1765 01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:17,240 Speaker 6: sister states here in the Midwest, and so because state 1766 01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:21,240 Speaker 6: income taxes have gone down, maybe maybe the voters in 1767 01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:25,640 Speaker 6: these school districts might buy it's propitious to have a 1768 01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:32,040 Speaker 6: local income tax. Personally, I think income taxes are worse 1769 01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:36,280 Speaker 6: than property taxes. But that's just me, okay, you know, 1770 01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:41,160 Speaker 6: and we have to consider that it's not a complete 1771 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:44,720 Speaker 6: solution for the reasons I just gave. So many jurisdictions 1772 01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:49,240 Speaker 6: dependent on property tax cannot do an income tax. In fact, 1773 01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:52,960 Speaker 6: they don't want to. We are doing township no interest 1774 01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:55,280 Speaker 6: in doing an income tax. When I was on that 1775 01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:57,480 Speaker 6: board for seven years in the nineties. 1776 01:25:57,439 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 2: Both sites on one file question here on the budget 1777 01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:03,519 Speaker 2: commission powers, we talked about the budget Commission come in 1778 01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:07,160 Speaker 2: and that they balance committee. They have the authority to 1779 01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:11,160 Speaker 2: reduce what are you calling unnecessary or excessive levees with 1780 01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:14,840 Speaker 2: respecting voter intent. But these are the local We talk 1781 01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:17,759 Speaker 2: about local control all the time. This is the ultra locals. 1782 01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:21,240 Speaker 2: The definition of local control is that voters approve these levees, 1783 01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:24,360 Speaker 2: specifically because they trusted the taxing entity's assessment of need. 1784 01:26:24,360 --> 01:26:26,120 Speaker 2: How do you balance that with what's happening here? 1785 01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:30,599 Speaker 6: Well, what we've done, okay. The legislation that the General 1786 01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:34,479 Speaker 6: Assembly passed said that the Budget Commission, consisting of the 1787 01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:38,080 Speaker 6: County Treasurer, the County Auditor and the county prosecutor can 1788 01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:41,320 Speaker 6: reduce the millage of any levee that they find to 1789 01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:46,000 Speaker 6: be unnecessary or accessive. They never defined unnecessary, they never 1790 01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:49,120 Speaker 6: defined accessive. That means you could have eighty eight different 1791 01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:52,759 Speaker 6: standards across the eighty eight different counties. They also said 1792 01:26:52,800 --> 01:26:56,800 Speaker 6: they also failed to say that the Commission has to 1793 01:26:56,880 --> 01:26:59,519 Speaker 6: keep hands off at least for a period of time 1794 01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:02,439 Speaker 6: after that levy is passed by the voters, because to 1795 01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:05,360 Speaker 6: do otherwise is basically to flap the voters right in 1796 01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:07,840 Speaker 6: the face saying you were too stupid to vote for 1797 01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:10,360 Speaker 6: We're going to undo what you just voted for. And 1798 01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:13,320 Speaker 6: so what we did on our task force is we 1799 01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:17,280 Speaker 6: came up with a good type definition of unnecessary and 1800 01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:21,720 Speaker 6: a good type definition of excessive in both cases provided 1801 01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:26,320 Speaker 6: by our County Auditors Association statewide, and we said the 1802 01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:31,679 Speaker 6: Budget Commission cannot reduce levies for the first five years 1803 01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:35,519 Speaker 6: after they initially passed, or for the first two years 1804 01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:37,960 Speaker 6: in the case of a renewal. And so there'll be 1805 01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:40,680 Speaker 6: that pulling off period, because how wealth are you going 1806 01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:44,880 Speaker 6: to know whether it's excessive or unnecessary until it plays out, 1807 01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:48,960 Speaker 6: see what I'm saying. So we're trying to Again, this 1808 01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:52,040 Speaker 6: is an example scot of where we're trying to refine 1809 01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:55,360 Speaker 6: what the legislature has done. We're not trying to say 1810 01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:59,120 Speaker 6: forget it, don't do it. We're simply saying there's going 1811 01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:01,560 Speaker 6: to be a few bells and whistles, a few guardrails 1812 01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:05,840 Speaker 6: around these new and expanded powers of three county wide 1813 01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:10,599 Speaker 6: officials to exercise control over school levees and township levees 1814 01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:12,920 Speaker 6: and park levees that they have nothing to do with. 1815 01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:16,240 Speaker 6: So you know, we're just trying to balance that against 1816 01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:18,519 Speaker 6: the will of the voters, is what we're trying. 1817 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:21,760 Speaker 2: Well that that is indeed the billion dollar question, because 1818 01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:23,599 Speaker 2: I mean, listen, this is going man. There's a lot 1819 01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:26,240 Speaker 2: of moving parts of bill. Sites laid out and eloquently 1820 01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,840 Speaker 2: of course, as always too, but lots we don't understand. 1821 01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:32,920 Speaker 2: And I'm hoping that gets sorted out during a debate 1822 01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:34,719 Speaker 2: on both sides of this in the Senate of the House, 1823 01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:36,280 Speaker 2: and the Governor's going to have a say in this 1824 01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:39,200 Speaker 2: thing too. So what is the timeline before this shakes out? 1825 01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:42,960 Speaker 6: Well, I know the House and Senate our team to 1826 01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:46,760 Speaker 6: do something definitive before the end of the year. There 1827 01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:50,439 Speaker 6: is nothing that can be done that would provide any 1828 01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:55,360 Speaker 6: relief prior to the second half twenty twenty six property 1829 01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:58,280 Speaker 6: tax bills. That's just a matter of timing. You can't 1830 01:28:58,320 --> 01:29:02,320 Speaker 6: do anything. My focus would be how do we fix 1831 01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:06,639 Speaker 6: the system going forward rather than trying to recreate history 1832 01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:10,200 Speaker 6: by going backwards. And so, you know, I mean, is 1833 01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:13,879 Speaker 6: this a problem, yes, and we should fix it going forward, 1834 01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:18,200 Speaker 6: And that was what our group recommended. Mostly of our recommendations. 1835 01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:22,439 Speaker 6: We had a great group. It was a county auditors, 1836 01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:26,320 Speaker 6: it was school superintendents, it was county commissioners, county treasurer. 1837 01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:30,880 Speaker 6: You know, we had the mayor, we had a mayor 1838 01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:33,519 Speaker 6: in there, a couple of business people in there. So 1839 01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:35,839 Speaker 6: it was a good balanced group of people that actually 1840 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:39,280 Speaker 6: are in charge of implementing the whole property tax system. 1841 01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:43,120 Speaker 6: And so their expertise really was great and guided us 1842 01:29:43,439 --> 01:29:47,000 Speaker 6: very very strongly in the work we did. We met 1843 01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:50,760 Speaker 6: every week for two months, every Thursday, for at least 1844 01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:54,840 Speaker 6: two hours at a time, and heard from a lot 1845 01:29:54,880 --> 01:29:58,160 Speaker 6: of folks that got a lot of written testimony, a 1846 01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:01,200 Speaker 6: lot of oral testimony, and at our best way through 1847 01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:04,639 Speaker 6: it on that very short timeline that Mike DeWine gave us. 1848 01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:07,559 Speaker 6: He gave us till September thirty. 1849 01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:10,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, you too, right, and turn that in. 1850 01:30:11,840 --> 01:30:13,760 Speaker 2: What's going to happen now is the great debate will 1851 01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,519 Speaker 2: continue here in pieces of this and we'll get debated 1852 01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:18,720 Speaker 2: and I'm sure we'll discuss this in the future too. 1853 01:30:18,800 --> 01:30:21,400 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's been an interesting few months for you, 1854 01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:24,000 Speaker 2: I know, co chairing this group. Anyway, he's built sites 1855 01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:25,960 Speaker 2: of Green Township.

You work on the property text 1859 01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:33,479 Speaker 2: how's that? 1860 01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:33,960 Speaker 6: Yeah? 1861 01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:34,639 Speaker 1: There you go? 1862 01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:36,559 Speaker 2: Alright, I got a feel in my foot. It's going 1863 01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:38,720 Speaker 2: to be better before we figure out property texts. That's 1864 01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:41,200 Speaker 2: your damn sure. Anyway, let's get a news update in. 1865 01:30:41,320 --> 01:30:44,479 Speaker 2: Did that confuse you? Probably did. It's a lot going 1866 01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:47,560 Speaker 2: on there and a lot of millages and uh clawbacks 1867 01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:51,759 Speaker 2: and levy structure changes and words like unnecessary and excessive. 1868 01:30:52,040 --> 01:30:54,240 Speaker 2: Kind of makes your head swim. But the good news 1869 01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:57,000 Speaker 2: is this will get the parceled out in pieces and 1870 01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:58,880 Speaker 2: will debate each way, each element of this at some 1871 01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:01,759 Speaker 2: point to figure out why property taxes are so screwed 1872 01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:04,160 Speaker 2: up and how we can get some sanity back to 1873 01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:07,040 Speaker 2: what we pay Scott's loan show seven hundred WW. 1874 01:31:06,880 --> 01:31:09,600 Speaker 1: All right, Homestretch, are slow to here? Seven hundred WLW. 1875 01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:12,799 Speaker 3: Headed into the lunch hour of mid afternoon, be chopping 1876 01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:14,840 Speaker 3: it up with your boys or perhaps your girls are 1877 01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:19,719 Speaker 3: both Regarding yesterday's debacle at pay Court Stadium, Detroit comes 1878 01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:22,040 Speaker 3: in thirty seven to twenty four to the final, and 1879 01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:24,600 Speaker 3: that score in history will look a lot closer. 1880 01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:27,160 Speaker 2: Than it really was. Bengals now on a three game 1881 01:31:27,200 --> 01:31:30,200 Speaker 2: heater in the wrong way. They dropped to two and three, 1882 01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:33,360 Speaker 2: and they traveled to Green Bay next. It's gonna get you. 1883 01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:36,439 Speaker 2: Thought Detroit was bad, You're going to Green Bay? How's 1884 01:31:36,439 --> 01:31:39,639 Speaker 2: that gonna work out? He's James Rapine, Sports Illustrated, Bengals 1885 01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,320 Speaker 2: Talk dot Com and of course locked on Bengals joining 1886 01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:43,360 Speaker 2: the show every Monday morning. 1887 01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:45,240 Speaker 1: It's good to have the band back together. James, How 1888 01:31:45,280 --> 01:31:45,679 Speaker 1: you been. 1889 01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:48,719 Speaker 8: Better than Jake Browning? 1890 01:31:48,720 --> 01:31:49,280 Speaker 7: How have you done? 1891 01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:49,920 Speaker 1: Wolf? 1892 01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:54,679 Speaker 2: Twenty six of forty two hundred and fifty one yards, 1893 01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:59,400 Speaker 2: three touchdowns, three picks for a quarterback rating of are 1894 01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:03,200 Speaker 2: you sitting down seventy six point five at the last check? 1895 01:32:03,400 --> 01:32:06,080 Speaker 2: That is eight interceptions that might count this season. 1896 01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:11,400 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, it's uh, it's bad. And those numbers don't 1897 01:32:11,439 --> 01:32:14,599 Speaker 8: do it justice, it really don't. I mean, he those 1898 01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:18,280 Speaker 8: were juiced up numbers that looked really passable outside of 1899 01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:21,439 Speaker 8: the interception, and it was kind of the other way. 1900 01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:23,400 Speaker 8: It's for the first three quarters of this game. It 1901 01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:28,920 Speaker 8: was unwatchable, not passable, not average, unwatchable, and he was 1902 01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:31,680 Speaker 8: awful and no one knows it more than him. And 1903 01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:35,479 Speaker 8: so I'll give Jake credit there, but that doesn't really matter. 1904 01:32:35,920 --> 01:32:42,160 Speaker 8: It's wins lost his performance based and that felt really 1905 01:32:42,280 --> 01:32:47,560 Speaker 8: like the pre Joe Burrow Bengals when they were embracing 1906 01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:50,680 Speaker 8: the tank for Joe Burrow and that's not where this 1907 01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:53,000 Speaker 8: team is supposed to be. So yeah, it was really 1908 01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:54,760 Speaker 8: really poor play from Jake Brown. 1909 01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:57,760 Speaker 2: And we'll get to that with the defensive play. But 1910 01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:00,240 Speaker 2: it's still at halftime. They you know, hit that field goal, well, 1911 01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:03,800 Speaker 2: fourteenth three, it's still doable. You look at it going up. 1912 01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:08,280 Speaker 8: They're not out of this, sure they weren't. They weren't. 1913 01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,080 Speaker 8: And then Jake rough it through an interception on the 1914 01:33:10,120 --> 01:33:13,639 Speaker 8: second play from scrimmage in the second half. I mean, 1915 01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:17,479 Speaker 8: you're right, though, like they a lot of what they 1916 01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:20,120 Speaker 8: set out to do. The game kind of played out 1917 01:33:20,160 --> 01:33:22,680 Speaker 8: that way. They didn't get gashed on the ground by 1918 01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:25,360 Speaker 8: this Lions offense that could really run the ball. They 1919 01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:28,040 Speaker 8: gave up some plays, of course, but you're going to 1920 01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:30,840 Speaker 8: against the Lions, but it wasn't so bad that you 1921 01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:34,439 Speaker 8: couldn't hang with them if you were rolling out a 1922 01:33:34,439 --> 01:33:38,200 Speaker 8: competent offense and they just weren't. And I don't think 1923 01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:40,160 Speaker 8: it's all on Jake. I think a lot of it is. 1924 01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:42,320 Speaker 8: I do think that Zach Taylor's right, there's plenty that 1925 01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:45,559 Speaker 8: should fall on him as well. But this offense is 1926 01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:48,920 Speaker 8: just costing this team games right now because they're not 1927 01:33:49,400 --> 01:33:51,280 Speaker 8: They finally scored in the fourth quarter, so we can't 1928 01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:55,320 Speaker 8: say they're not scoring. But my goodness, nineteen drives without 1929 01:33:55,320 --> 01:33:59,920 Speaker 8: a touchdown, eleven quarters and sixteen points before that fourth quarter. 1930 01:34:00,520 --> 01:34:01,720 Speaker 8: It's just unacceptable. 1931 01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:05,600 Speaker 2: Jake Browning said, I didn't play well. I need to 1932 01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:08,120 Speaker 2: play better. Is there time for him to play? But 1933 01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:10,360 Speaker 2: can he play better? I mean, this seems like this 1934 01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:11,679 Speaker 2: is peak Jake Browning. 1935 01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:17,639 Speaker 8: They shouldn't he shouldn't get the opportunity to play better 1936 01:34:17,640 --> 01:34:19,840 Speaker 8: because they should have added a quarterback a few weeks ago. 1937 01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:22,280 Speaker 8: Like night bead everywhere, and people kind of rolled their 1938 01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:25,040 Speaker 8: eyes like here we go, James, Like, yeah, of course 1939 01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:27,120 Speaker 8: I do, because I knew that this was a possibility. 1940 01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:30,040 Speaker 8: You don't know how Jake's gonna play because he was 1941 01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:32,559 Speaker 8: good a few years ago, and by good, I say 1942 01:34:32,600 --> 01:34:34,680 Speaker 8: that close because he was passed the ball a few 1943 01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:38,320 Speaker 8: years ago and he's been downright bad. And you don't 1944 01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:42,240 Speaker 8: have another option. You didn't give yourself that that type 1945 01:34:42,280 --> 01:34:46,439 Speaker 8: of put yourself in that type of situation. And so now, yeah, 1946 01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:48,160 Speaker 8: it is going to be Jake, and he is going 1947 01:34:48,240 --> 01:34:50,120 Speaker 8: to start a game screen Bay and I'd be shocked 1948 01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:54,240 Speaker 8: if anything else changed in that in that department as 1949 01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:57,560 Speaker 8: far as this week. But the Bangles still need to 1950 01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:02,360 Speaker 8: give themselves another option just to to provide watchable football 1951 01:35:02,479 --> 01:35:06,360 Speaker 8: if nothing else, because yesterday was unwatchable for three quarters. 1952 01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:11,599 Speaker 8: And had they gotten just competent quarterback play, well, who knows, 1953 01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:13,960 Speaker 8: maybe they give the Lions all they can handle at home. 1954 01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:17,400 Speaker 8: Right they're two and three. 1955 01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:20,360 Speaker 2: Okay, but you know, hindsight is always twenty twenty. I 1956 01:35:20,439 --> 01:35:22,960 Speaker 2: said last week, like I'm not buying, Hey, we'll go 1957 01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:25,599 Speaker 2: get Russ Wilson, We'll get Jameis Winston. We'll get kirk 1958 01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:29,679 Speaker 2: Cousins and fix this. Last week the defense was equally 1959 01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:33,800 Speaker 2: as bad. This past weekend, the defense looked passable. They 1960 01:35:33,800 --> 01:35:36,600 Speaker 2: looked a lot better. They're getting some they're getting the 1961 01:35:36,680 --> 01:35:42,200 Speaker 2: edge rush going, their pass rush. Their defense overall pretty good. Now, 1962 01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:44,439 Speaker 2: maybe that tune has changed somewhat. I think that's fair. 1963 01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:46,680 Speaker 2: You look like a savon for saying this, But I 1964 01:35:46,720 --> 01:35:49,400 Speaker 2: was going to Okay, So last week you get Russ Wilson, 1965 01:35:49,800 --> 01:35:51,439 Speaker 2: let's say, and you give up a lot of draft 1966 01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:53,800 Speaker 2: capital for him. Great, So now you'll lose by two 1967 01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:57,680 Speaker 2: touchdowns instead of eight. You still lose. Why give that up? 1968 01:35:57,720 --> 01:35:59,360 Speaker 2: But if the defense is going to show up to 1969 01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:02,600 Speaker 2: the party, maybe that's a winnable game. Maybe you have 1970 01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:06,639 Speaker 2: something there. But based on the quarterbacks available, kirk Cousins 1971 01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:09,560 Speaker 2: may be the best one there. But who knows what 1972 01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:11,599 Speaker 2: they're going to want for him, that's the other question. 1973 01:36:12,680 --> 01:36:16,040 Speaker 8: Sure, and so a couple of things. One, the Bengals 1974 01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:20,080 Speaker 8: would not trade for kirk Cousins, and it's because of 1975 01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:22,760 Speaker 8: his contract. His contract is just brutal. I mean, you 1976 01:36:22,920 --> 01:36:25,120 Speaker 8: do ten million dollars on the third day of the 1977 01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:27,479 Speaker 8: new league year. Next year, it's just too much money. 1978 01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:30,840 Speaker 8: And this isn't me defending the Bengals. 1979 01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:32,040 Speaker 1: And how they too much money. 1980 01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:34,960 Speaker 8: You go to no team should trade for Kirk contin 1981 01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:38,160 Speaker 8: They just shouldn't. Yeah, but Russell Wilson for a six 1982 01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:42,320 Speaker 8: sixth Brown picks. The reason why I was saying it 1983 01:36:42,560 --> 01:36:47,439 Speaker 8: last week wasn't for a game at home against the 1984 01:36:47,479 --> 01:36:49,680 Speaker 8: Lions or even this week against Green Bay, but it 1985 01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:53,320 Speaker 8: was for that that division game against Pittsburgh on a 1986 01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:56,720 Speaker 8: short week where you do have to win that game. 1987 01:36:56,760 --> 01:37:01,160 Speaker 8: Regardless the Green Bay game from the standing stand point matters, 1988 01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:05,160 Speaker 8: but it's an NFC opponent. It's not a huge deal 1989 01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:07,040 Speaker 8: when it comes to winning and moving. You have to 1990 01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:08,680 Speaker 8: be Pittsburgh if you want to hang in it. Yeah, 1991 01:37:09,200 --> 01:37:11,760 Speaker 8: And so that's what that would have set you up for. 1992 01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:15,400 Speaker 8: And now you have, as we sit here, two games 1993 01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:19,400 Speaker 8: in ten days from now, and you're gonna have to 1994 01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:21,519 Speaker 8: get that second game, and it's just it's gonna be tough. 1995 01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:23,760 Speaker 8: I'm not saying Jake can't do it. I'm not saying 1996 01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:26,880 Speaker 8: that he can't play well, or is that can't coach 1997 01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:29,320 Speaker 8: better and put him in a better position, But my goodness, 1998 01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:31,320 Speaker 8: does it feel like it. You know it would be 1999 01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:33,320 Speaker 8: much better if they had a better option. I'm not 2000 01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:35,720 Speaker 8: saying mortgage in the future, by the way, Scott, but 2001 01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:39,200 Speaker 8: just give up a little something to give a little 2002 01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:40,880 Speaker 8: something so you have another option. 2003 01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:41,160 Speaker 7: All right. 2004 01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:43,719 Speaker 2: So he played what three games a cup of coffee 2005 01:37:43,720 --> 01:37:46,439 Speaker 2: I think, and against the Church. But the in the 2006 01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:48,760 Speaker 2: sample size we have, he's souls thrown. I'm looking at 2007 01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:51,799 Speaker 2: it right now. Three interceptions the regular season, three tuddies, 2008 01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:54,719 Speaker 2: three interceptions. What does he get you that, Jake Browning 2009 01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:55,320 Speaker 2: isn't getting you? 2010 01:37:57,080 --> 01:38:02,479 Speaker 8: Well, he to me, would gets you, would move the ball. 2011 01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:06,960 Speaker 8: I mean, Jake Browning, Well put it like this, Jake Browning. 2012 01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:10,120 Speaker 8: In the Bengals they scored a touchdown against the Vikings 2013 01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:14,000 Speaker 8: and garbage sean it was to Drew sample and then 2014 01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:17,280 Speaker 8: yesterday their touchdowns game in garbage time. All of the 2015 01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:19,799 Speaker 8: touchdowns that they've scored so far in the Jake Browning 2016 01:38:19,920 --> 01:38:21,320 Speaker 8: era have come when the. 2017 01:38:21,240 --> 01:38:23,000 Speaker 7: Game is already over fourth quarter, and. 2018 01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:27,800 Speaker 8: In that yeah, I mean it's the Vikings game was 2019 01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:31,960 Speaker 8: over in the first half, and the game yesterday was 2020 01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:35,320 Speaker 8: over really by that first drive of the second half 2021 01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:37,679 Speaker 8: when Browning throes that interception in the lines, go score. 2022 01:38:37,800 --> 01:38:40,639 Speaker 8: So I just won I think he's better. He's certainly 2023 01:38:40,720 --> 01:38:42,640 Speaker 8: more physically. Get that. I'm not here to tell you, 2024 01:38:42,760 --> 01:38:47,240 Speaker 8: Russell Wilson is it's twenty fifteen, Russell Wilson. But I 2025 01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:49,120 Speaker 8: think any of these guys that you name from a 2026 01:38:49,120 --> 01:38:55,080 Speaker 8: football standpoint, Kirk Cousins, I think Jameis Winston would be someone. 2027 01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:58,360 Speaker 8: Russell Wilson. Who knows that Andy Dalton available in Carolina? 2028 01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:00,720 Speaker 8: I don't know, Probably not, but I I wouldn't be 2029 01:39:01,320 --> 01:39:06,400 Speaker 8: against going down that path there. They just put themselves 2030 01:39:06,439 --> 01:39:09,760 Speaker 8: in this corner. And the downside is, had they done 2031 01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:11,559 Speaker 8: it a few weeks ago, maybe they get it for. 2032 01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:12,160 Speaker 7: A little less. 2033 01:39:12,240 --> 01:39:14,960 Speaker 8: Right now, the league knows that they could use a 2034 01:39:15,040 --> 01:39:18,040 Speaker 8: quarterback and desperately need one, and so maybe that asking 2035 01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:18,960 Speaker 8: price did go up. 2036 01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:21,880 Speaker 1: Possibly Let's Go would cost more than a sixth rider. 2037 01:39:24,320 --> 01:39:27,800 Speaker 10: I don't know, if you're the Giant, do you want 2038 01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:30,040 Speaker 10: to keep Russell Wilson around, or you're okay giving up 2039 01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:32,080 Speaker 10: a you know, I mean you're one and four, yeah, 2040 01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:34,920 Speaker 10: you know, Jameis Winston and Russell will I think they 2041 01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:36,400 Speaker 10: give up one of those guys that they knew they 2042 01:39:36,400 --> 01:39:38,960 Speaker 10: could get a sixth round pick or a conditional fifth 2043 01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:39,760 Speaker 10: or something like that. 2044 01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:42,519 Speaker 1: Okay, James repene on that though too. How much of 2045 01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:42,960 Speaker 1: this is all? 2046 01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:43,120 Speaker 8: Right? 2047 01:39:43,240 --> 01:39:45,479 Speaker 2: Jake Browning is terrible, but it's not like the O 2048 01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:47,320 Speaker 2: line is going to light it up for Russell Wilson 2049 01:39:47,320 --> 01:39:48,080 Speaker 2: all of a sudden either. 2050 01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:49,240 Speaker 6: No. 2051 01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:52,400 Speaker 8: No, they're a flaw football team, horrible, and so how 2052 01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:56,920 Speaker 8: how can you how can you alleviate some of these flaws? 2053 01:39:56,960 --> 01:39:58,600 Speaker 8: Like if there was a guard out there that I 2054 01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:01,120 Speaker 8: thought would come in and just be an awesome guard 2055 01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:04,120 Speaker 8: or an offensive tackle or center like any of it. 2056 01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:07,240 Speaker 8: I just I don't really see it out there, and 2057 01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:11,080 Speaker 8: I don't know who could be available, because teams loved 2058 01:40:11,400 --> 01:40:16,200 Speaker 8: having offensive line debts for obvious reasons and aren't aren't 2059 01:40:16,240 --> 01:40:18,160 Speaker 8: necessarily willing to move them this time of year. No, 2060 01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:22,080 Speaker 8: it's it's tough because you're right, it's not just Jake, 2061 01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:26,040 Speaker 8: it's not just Zach, and it's not just the offensive line. 2062 01:40:26,520 --> 01:40:28,679 Speaker 8: But when you mix all those together, it has been 2063 01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:29,559 Speaker 8: really bad. 2064 01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:29,760 Speaker 4: Now. 2065 01:40:29,760 --> 01:40:31,919 Speaker 8: I think the offensive line was a bit better yesterday. 2066 01:40:31,960 --> 01:40:34,160 Speaker 8: There were still still some plays Orlando Brown Junior on 2067 01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:37,880 Speaker 8: the police clicker, that play gets blown up, But I 2068 01:40:37,920 --> 01:40:41,680 Speaker 8: do think that overall, they gave Jake a chance for 2069 01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:44,400 Speaker 8: the better part of last week in Denver and then 2070 01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:47,840 Speaker 8: certainly yesterday, and he just made some some really really 2071 01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:48,680 Speaker 8: poor decisions. 2072 01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:52,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, and watching just you know, Chase Orlando broncamp move MEM's. 2073 01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:54,439 Speaker 2: Have you got a couple of rookies in there playing 2074 01:40:54,479 --> 01:40:56,040 Speaker 2: like rookies, and you know, the run game has been 2075 01:40:56,080 --> 01:40:59,120 Speaker 2: a mess simply because you know, Chase Brown is struggling. 2076 01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:01,360 Speaker 2: How much is that Chase Brown and how much of 2077 01:41:01,439 --> 01:41:02,799 Speaker 2: that has to do with what we're talking about. 2078 01:41:02,640 --> 01:41:09,040 Speaker 8: Here, It's an interesting question. I still think that it 2079 01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:11,280 Speaker 8: has more to do with the offensive line, slash run 2080 01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:15,400 Speaker 8: game and scheme than it does Chase Brown. But I 2081 01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:18,120 Speaker 8: did it, I did all the frustration that comes with it. 2082 01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:20,519 Speaker 8: I don't think the Bengals went into yesterday thinking they 2083 01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:23,360 Speaker 8: were going to run the ball like crazy. Are a 2084 01:41:23,520 --> 01:41:27,760 Speaker 8: good friend and former Bengal DJ Readers on the other side, 2085 01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:30,400 Speaker 8: and he's really good against the run, and that defensive 2086 01:41:30,479 --> 01:41:33,080 Speaker 8: front for the Lions is good. So I think the 2087 01:41:33,080 --> 01:41:35,639 Speaker 8: Bengals thought that they would have to throw it early 2088 01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:37,800 Speaker 8: and often to win yesterday, and I think that was 2089 01:41:38,120 --> 01:41:41,599 Speaker 8: their mindset going into the game. And while they threw it, 2090 01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:44,000 Speaker 8: they just threw it too many times to the other team. 2091 01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:46,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, the one thing we don't talk about a lot 2092 01:41:46,200 --> 01:41:48,120 Speaker 2: is and we talk about ownership, and we talk about 2093 01:41:48,200 --> 01:41:50,240 Speaker 2: Duke Tobin and they're inability to go get guys in 2094 01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:52,720 Speaker 2: the off season, just kind of standing Pat, hey, we'll 2095 01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:53,360 Speaker 2: let it ride. 2096 01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:54,960 Speaker 1: And it doesn't work that way in the NFL. 2097 01:41:55,080 --> 01:41:58,200 Speaker 2: You have to continually sharpen that edge otherwise you're going 2098 01:41:58,240 --> 01:42:00,439 Speaker 2: to fall behind quickly. As we saw the season. Cost 2099 01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:03,479 Speaker 2: is QB one for well, let's call it the entire season. 2100 01:42:03,840 --> 01:42:06,679 Speaker 2: This season is not going to be salvaged. No one's 2101 01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:08,600 Speaker 2: going to come riding in on their white horse, be 2102 01:42:08,680 --> 01:42:12,000 Speaker 2: it Russ Wilson, a miraculous cure for Joe Burrow or whatever, 2103 01:42:12,200 --> 01:42:15,000 Speaker 2: Jake Browning all of a sudden figuring out how not 2104 01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:17,280 Speaker 2: to throw an interception. How much of this is on 2105 01:42:17,439 --> 01:42:20,840 Speaker 2: Zach Taylor. Other organizations I would feel probably at this 2106 01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:23,400 Speaker 2: point would have moved on from Zach Taylor. Not here 2107 01:42:23,439 --> 01:42:24,160 Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. 2108 01:42:25,640 --> 01:42:29,280 Speaker 8: Well, let's use Zach Taylor's words. He to put this 2109 01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:31,080 Speaker 8: on me, and I do think a lot of it's 2110 01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:34,599 Speaker 8: on him, because hell yeah it is in the first half. 2111 01:42:34,640 --> 01:42:36,080 Speaker 8: I'm just going to look in the first half, when 2112 01:42:36,080 --> 01:42:41,920 Speaker 8: the game's hanging in the ballance, how many like easy, obvious, 2113 01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:46,000 Speaker 8: clear throws did Jake miss? And then how many was 2114 01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:48,679 Speaker 8: he given? And I think it's a mixture of both. 2115 01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:51,639 Speaker 8: But when you're the offensive play caller and you score 2116 01:42:52,920 --> 01:42:56,959 Speaker 8: zero touchdowns in nineteen straight drives, when you score sixteen 2117 01:42:57,040 --> 01:43:00,240 Speaker 8: points and eleven quarters of the Jake Browning era arted 2118 01:43:00,240 --> 01:43:03,320 Speaker 8: by Zach Taylor's here a big reason why, just to 2119 01:43:03,320 --> 01:43:07,600 Speaker 8: maximize the offense. And I've watched other backup quarterbacks have 2120 01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:11,120 Speaker 8: far more success than Jake Browning, and that's up to 2121 01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:14,479 Speaker 8: Zach Taylor to give him some easy buttons and some 2122 01:43:14,560 --> 01:43:18,760 Speaker 8: easy throws and some easy options on a team, and 2123 01:43:18,760 --> 01:43:20,680 Speaker 8: then on an offense, it's not like they're thrown to 2124 01:43:20,720 --> 01:43:23,680 Speaker 8: you and me like they have real weapons, and so 2125 01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:25,679 Speaker 8: you should be able to take advantage of those weapons, 2126 01:43:25,760 --> 01:43:28,600 Speaker 8: even with the offensive line, even with Jake Brunning a quarterback. 2127 01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:32,880 Speaker 8: And so, yeah, Zach Taylor, I think his seat is 2128 01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:36,000 Speaker 8: getting hotter by the day. I don't necessarily think that 2129 01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:39,439 Speaker 8: a change would come mid season or anything like that, 2130 01:43:39,560 --> 01:43:42,559 Speaker 8: because I don't know if they would ever seem that 2131 01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:47,040 Speaker 8: as something that's actually going to help them moving forward. 2132 01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:50,560 Speaker 8: But I do think that he's going to have to 2133 01:43:50,920 --> 01:43:53,760 Speaker 8: rally this team and win some games here, and they 2134 01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:57,920 Speaker 8: can't just go, you know, four and thirteen in him 2135 01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:00,080 Speaker 8: expect to be back next year. I don't think that 2136 01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:01,960 Speaker 8: that's a realistic expect And that's. 2137 01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:03,680 Speaker 2: That, and I will all that on a positive I 2138 01:44:03,720 --> 01:44:05,759 Speaker 2: thought Jamar Chase had a pretty good game all aside, 2139 01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:07,519 Speaker 2: you know, with six of one hundred and ten yards 2140 01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:08,200 Speaker 2: two touchdowns. 2141 01:44:08,240 --> 01:44:10,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, I will point out, I believe. 2142 01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:12,080 Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong, James wasn't he three for 2143 01:44:12,200 --> 01:44:14,960 Speaker 2: three on tackles on all three j Jake brown Nicks, 2144 01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:18,559 Speaker 2: He's the guy who brought the guy who intercepted it down, 2145 01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:20,080 Speaker 2: so he was good on defense too. 2146 01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:25,680 Speaker 8: He's they're probably their second best corner behind act In, 2147 01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:29,280 Speaker 8: their best receiver, uh In, the best receiver in the NFL. 2148 01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:34,000 Speaker 2: No, I mean, maybe he can coach up Cam Taylor Britt. 2149 01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:38,160 Speaker 8: What that's what sucks is that's how great Jamar is. 2150 01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:40,559 Speaker 8: And and there are gonna be a lot of people 2151 01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:43,720 Speaker 8: that hear this, Scott say will just tank and it's 2152 01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:46,040 Speaker 8: like it's hard to look twenty five year old Jamar Chase, 2153 01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:48,320 Speaker 8: who's the best on the planet at what he does, 2154 01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:51,479 Speaker 8: and say, hey, let's hang. Do you know that's really 2155 01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:53,360 Speaker 8: really tough to do because it's only week six. 2156 01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:53,679 Speaker 1: Yep. 2157 01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:58,000 Speaker 2: He's James Rapine. We'll talk after the Green Bay game. 2158 01:44:58,520 --> 01:45:01,639 Speaker 2: You thought Detroit was bad, You're on the road at Lambeau. 2159 01:45:01,720 --> 01:45:04,040 Speaker 2: Let's see how that works out.
