WEBVTT - Ken Broo Saturday -- 12/20/25 0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:05.920 Now your host Ken Brew on news radio seven hundred WLW. 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:08.240 What a glorious day it is in the tri State. 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:12.479 Here you are on this Saturday before Christmas. Everybody is out. 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:14.840 It seems like at the Kenwood Town Center. I look 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:17.400 over there. Well, most saturdays it's like that, but now 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:21.000 it just appears like it's it's completely out of control. 0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:27.200 I made a joking remark this week that Kenwood Town 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:31.120 Center is the reason why God invented Amazon. And I'm 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.760 not quite so sure that should be a joking reference. 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.839 It might be true, you know. He said, let there 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:38.880 be light, and then after he saw the Kenwood Town 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.199 Center at Christmas, he said, man, let there be Amazon 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.839 dot Com. If you're out there today, please be careful. 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:47.960 I hate it when people say that to me. You 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.159 walk out the door, please be careful. WHOA what do 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:51.960 you think? I'm not going to be careful, But you know, 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.200 it's you know, if somebody cuts you off, or you know, 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:58.800 if it's the last parking spot and there's two cars 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:00.920 it looks like that are ready to attack the spot, 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:02.960 just back off. There'll be something that opens up in 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.960 a couple of minutes. It has been a big week 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:10.559 for weed huge week for weed, both good and bad 0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.720 if you're so inclined to partake in weed. First off, 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:19.040 the President signed an executive order this past week that could, 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:24.000 and the emphasis is on the word could, reclassify marijuana 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:28.720 as a less dangerous drug. Right now, marijuana is a 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:31.240 Schedule one drug and that would put it in the 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:36.120 same classification as heroin LSD. And what the President is 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:40.120 doing is trying to get it to a Schedule three substance, 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.000 which would put it in the same class as things 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:48.760 like ketamine and some anabolic steroids. What this means is 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:54.200 reclassification by the DEA would not not make it legal 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:58.160 for recreational use by adults nationwide, but it could there's 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:02.800 that word again, could change how the drug is regulated 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:07.000 and reduce a hefty tax burden on the cannabis industry. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.840 Right now, medical marijuana is allowed by about forty states 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.440 and the District of Columbia, So that was on one hand. 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.840 On the other hand, this week, just yesterday, the Governor 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:20.640 of Ohio, on an expiring term, this would be the 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:25.520 Honorable Mike DeWine, struck down a provision that was in 0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:31.560 Senate Bill fifty six. That Senate Bill fifty six basically 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.800 said that THC drinks in their present form could be 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:40.680 sold anywhere in the state of Ohio. Dwine does not 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:46.359 want THC drinks. And so when Bill SENATETIL fifty six 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:50.880 got there to his desk, it carved out he carved 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:55.880 out basically that provision, and it gets into milligrams and 0:02:56.200 --> 0:03:01.680 how much are allowed per container. And basically what it 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:05.600 means is that places that sell THHC drinks, you know, 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:10.239 the infused seltzers, are now scrambling to get them off 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.480 the shelves. And if I'm reading this correctly, they've got 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.080 to get them off the shelves and got to be 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.840 done selling them within ninety days of the wine signing 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.959 this bill, which would make it the middle of March. 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.440 So what does this mean for you? What does that 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.840 mean for me if we indulge in these kinds of things? 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:32.359 And can you really, in this day and age legislate morality. 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:39.240 This ain't nineteen twenty and it's not prohibition. And I'm 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.880 just wondering what the weed industry thinks about this. So 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.560 who better to be a spokesman for the weed industry 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.680 at this particular point in time in the tri State 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.600 than the weed Man himself. That would be Jerry J. 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:55.600 Mann Joiner. He is all things weed. He has his 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.240 own television show, Weed and Whiskey TV. And the only 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.560 other person I know know that goes up in smoke 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.480 more than Jerry Joyner, it's Willie Nelson. And perhaps they 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:07.280 know each other. I don't know. We'll find out here 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.000 in just a second. But let's get into this and 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.800 what happened with Trump this week, and also what happened 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.480 with the wine and Jerry Joyner. How are you on 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:15.720 this glorious Saturday. 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.880 Well, I'm doing great, ken, and thank you for those accolades. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.120 Just being in the same sentence with my patriot, Saint 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.719 Willie Nelson is a real compliment. 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:26.520 Thank you for that. 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:29.000 Now you know what happened up here yesterday, I'm sure, 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.839 And that's the governor of Ohio looked at Senate Bill 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.880 fifty six, which had passed the House, hadn't passed the Senate, 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.400 and said, you know what, No, I don't like that. 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.200 I'm going to wea to veto the part and take 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.960 out the part where we're going to allow THHC infused 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:49.599 drinks greatly reduce things like even selling him even selling 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.840 marijuana here in the great state of Ohio. Now, when 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.280 you saw something like that, what did you think. 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.520 Well, you know that the headline kind of got on 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:03.640 the THC, which it seems like Governor de Wine wants. 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:07.360 So it is to only be sold in the marijuana dispensaries. 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.600 No more gas stations, sea stores on the corner or 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:11.720 any of those places, or. 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:12.320 The vape shops. 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:18.040 Even at this point, for milligrams, is such a minute 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:21.039 trace that a big fat boy like me might not 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.640 even show up in a drug dest That is. 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.880 That minute of an amount. 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.000 But I think as I did a little research, I 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:34.760 found some more interesting things besides the THHC drink issue. Uh, 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:39.000 marijuana must now be stored in its original packaging and 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:43.680 kept in the trunk of a vehicle while driving. You 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.719 that again, it says that marijuana must be stored in 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.600 its original packaging and kept in the trunk of a 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.360 vehicle while driving out an SUV that doesn't have a trunk. 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:57.120 That's true, and and and so you got to run 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.320 out and buy some of those baggies at the grocery store, Koger, 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:01.600 You're gonna have to go out and get some of 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:05.320 those and use them for other things, because you know, 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.080 a lot of people just throw it in there, you know, 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:08.960 they buy it, they throw it in there, seal it 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.000 up and everything's five. Well, you can't do that anymore. 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.039 You have to use those baggies for something else. 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:14.720 Yes, that's right. 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.240 You know that packaging back in the day was just 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.120 a clear baggie. Let you see exactly what was in there. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.760 And now we've moved to big marketing where you've got 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.360 colorfual graphics, some of them appealing too much towards children. 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.719 And of course it does allow for some labeling and 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.640 some information which we really never got that on those 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.440 just clear baggies that we bought. You know, it's also 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:36.760 going to be a state crime now if you went 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.880 to like Michigan, bought you a little pot and brought 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:40.320 it back. 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:46.080 So this bill that the Senate passed, it had an 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:50.720 exemption for THC infused beverages. At Ohio would have been 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:55.400 allowed to sell these things in breweries and bars with 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.760 no more than five milligrams of THC for serving. That's 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.080 what DeWine did want. He outlawed that. 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.160 Now he says, yeah, use the line item veto to 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:05.600 immediately ban that. 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.560 Well, I say immediately, you've got until. 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:13.080 Twenty March of twenty twenty six for them to depinish 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:14.720 their inventory. 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.119 So if I went down to my local liquor store 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.400 right now, I could if he has it, I could 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:24.560 still buy a THC infuse drink with about five milligrams 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:29.000 of THCHC. But the guy that owns the place has 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:30.840 got to clear the product and it's got to be 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.800 off the shelves within ninety days three months, which would 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.880 be the middle of March. But let me go back 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:39.520 to something else here. What's the difference in terms of 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.120 what a THC drink will do for you? What's the 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:47.080 difference between five milligrams which the wine says no, and 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:51.120 zero point four milligrams, which he says, okay. Up to 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.560 that you can sell it, but anything over that you 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.560 got to go to a licensed marijuana dispensary. So just 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.920 to what it does to you, what's the difference between 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:03.520 five milligrams of EHC and point four milligrams of THHC. 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.720 Ken, let's compare them to beer. A point four is 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.640 going to be a non alcoholic beer. That's about what 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.640 it's going to do to you. A five milligram is 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.360 going to be like a regular beer a two point 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.720 five milligram, which is what oj Man recommends people to 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.960 try if they're new to this and they want to 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:26.680 see how it compares to to beer and those those 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:30.040 things two point five milligrams. But again, it also depends 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.280 on the size of the can. There's some there's some. 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:40.360 I think it's a twelve ounce can't five milligrams is 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:41.080 not as much. 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.079 THC is a two point five milligram. 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.679 And in a in that small shot thing that they 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:47.480 have now, so. 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:50.600 You've got to a degree in chemistry to figure out 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:50.840 all this. 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:52.640 It really does. 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.079 Used to we just took a piece of rolling paper, 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.480 got the seeds out, rolled a joint up, and smoked it. 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.320 And now there's so many ways that you can get 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:01.680 THC into your system. 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:03.559 Yeah, but you're right, but so so the bottom line 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.880 of all of this is, despite the fact that the 0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:09.400 Senate will pass, despite the fact that recent surveys show 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.800 at about sixty five sixty six percent of Ohioans like 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:17.000 it the way it is, our marijuana, our THC laws, 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.040 the things governing those products to be you know, as 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.280 free and as loose as possible. The governor says no, no, 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.080 we're not going to do that. Anything like that goes 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.600 to a dispensary. And if you want to go to 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.479 your local liquor store and buy a can of THHC 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.719 or whatever it is, can't do that after March of 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.800 twenty twenty six. So it just means you're probably going 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.200 to be taking your business elsewhere. 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:42.480 Right, Well, let's hope that it doesn't go underground or 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:46.160 to the black market. You know, the flower aspect of marijuana, 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:51.960 cannabis our snip which they call THC a now is 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.400 still very very popular, and that's going to be difficult 0:09:55.640 --> 0:10:00.040 for the cartails and organized client people to get in 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.720 the drink business. It's easy for them to sell that flower, 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:06.920 but getting into the drink business is a whole different arena. 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.400 And I believe by this time next year you'll be 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:13.320 able to get those THC drinks in a two point 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:17.040 five milligram dose at your liquor stores. I think the 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:21.000 liquor industry is going to take over the THHC drinks. 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:22.720 You know, they keep trying to carve out the drinks 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.120 from everything else. Book on the federal level, and now 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:26.920 as we see what the governor do wine on the 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:30.040 state level, so there's something up with the drinks in 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.960 how it's going to replace beer in the next five years. 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.120 Well, you know that's interesting because that would fly in 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.440 the face of what this from what I can see, 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.480 what this law says, because as we mentioned earlier, anything 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:44.680 more than point four milligrams per curtainer per container have 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.240 to be sold and licensed marijuana dispensaries. So I guess 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:50.960 you're just basically moving state money from a marijuana dispensary 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:52.880 to a liquor store, right. I mean, it sounds like 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.120 it's a book keeping problem for the state of Ohio, 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:56.959 is what it sounds like it's going to be. 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:03.360 Jory State has these of how they're going to deal 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.880 with this, and I think the main thing people need 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:09.480 to keep in mind, kid is make sure and don't 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.280 drink more than one of these drinks until you see 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.280 how it affects you and use common sense. That's something 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.079 in twenty twenty six we all need a big dose 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:18.079 of it's common sense. 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:21.520 Well now, in another front on the marijuana level, President 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:25.200 Trump this past week signed an executive order that could 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.120 reclassify marijuana to a less dangerous drug and that would 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.760 open up new avenues for medical research. That would be 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.000 a shift in federal drug policy, and it gets to 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.600 where a lot of other states are with this. So 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.880 he's trying to deal with this on the federal level. 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:44.199 And from what I read, this reclassification by the DEA 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:49.400 would not make it legal for recreational utes by adults nationwide, 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.719 but it could, and emphasize the word, could change how 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.280 the drug is regulated and reduce a hefty tax burden 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.360 on the cannabis industry. So how do you view someone 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.240 that understands as this someone that lives his life in 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.600 a haze of smoke? Jerry Joinder? How do you view 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:06.400 what President Trump did last week? 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.000 I do it is a good thing for the industry 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:13.920 and for the people because it will loosen up the 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:18.000 restrictions on research. You know, we've been very limited on 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:22.000 the research into marijuana just because of it being illegal 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:24.040 on a federal level, and so this has been to 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.760 allow for more dollars to flow for research. It's supposed 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.320 to help the good players in the industry with their 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:32.400 two ade tax situation, which has been a burden on 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:33.400 a lot of these players. 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.400 But I found it interesting. 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:40.000 A good friend of mine, David Charles, who is the 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.600 CEO of a company called Mood that tells one hundred 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:47.440 million dollars worth of thc or hip products online across 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.360 the country within the White House, and you would have 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.800 thought he would have been like, oh, what are they. 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:53.320 Doing to us? 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.640 So that lets me think that there's something still going 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.800 on behind the scenes, that this hip stuff will come back, 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:03.360 but it'll just be in the liquor stores are where 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:07.640 beer is normally being sold in a different fashion with 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:10.920 better in safer products. That's what let's all hope. 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:15.400 Biden tried to do what Trump did, but never really 0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:18.439 took up the issue. Trump did it, but a lot 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:23.320 of his Republican cohorts are not happy that he's doing this. 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.760 A lot of the people that governed in the South, 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:30.040 particularly people like North Carolina Senator Ted Budd says that 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.960 it's dangerous and this shift would undermine strong efforts made 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.520 by Trump. I don't know. I think anything that's unknown 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.160 tends to scare people. It took us a very long 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.400 time in this stage, Jerry to get legalized gambling. You know, 0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.800 the opposition was running commercials where it was some dude 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.679 dressed up like the devil talking about the devil. We 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:50.160 were all going to go to hell. And you know, 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.200 right now, I don't sense anybody is getting burned. I 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.200 only maybe people with you know, an addiction to gambling 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:59.440 that they can't cure. But the fact of the matter 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:04.199 is always said this, it's very difficult to legislate morality. 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.840 It's a very difficult thing to do in the American 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.000 society that we live in right now. And now that 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.080 the toothpaste is out of the tube, so to speak, 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:17.880 with marijuana, I don't sense that anybody is going to 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.360 be successful taking things back. I think it's going to 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:25.680 have to be a very thoughtful and very prodigious step 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.480 forward with all of these things. But going back, I 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.000 just don't think that's going to work. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:34.760 Your thoughts, well, we learned that from prohibition, right you know, 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.920 the Americans they wanted alcohol even though the government made 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.600 it illegal. They still found ways to get alcohol, no 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.000 different than gambling. And so if we allow these things 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:49.840 that people want to be legal, but regulated in thoughtful, 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.080 proper manners, I think it's a good thing because, as 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:56.600 you said, Kim, Americans are gonna kind of we're built 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.720 that way. If we want something, we're going to go 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.480 get it. And let's just make sure what we want 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.280 and we get it safe. That's the moral of all 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:04.680 this to me. 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.200 So your prediction is by November of next year, despite 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.440 what the governor signed into law this past week, your 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.760 prediction is in November of twenty twenty six that these 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:18.280 THC infused drinks and not the ones that are limited 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.560 by zero point four milligrams. Your prediction is that they 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:27.000 will be available in liquor stores in November twenty sixth 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:28.400 I am I hearing you correctly. 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:33.560 That's my prediction for what it's worth. And I also 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:37.480 think we'll see a reduction in the amount of what 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.080 we call flour or the plant that the people smoke. 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.880 You know, across the country. I hear people complain all 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:43.680 the time. Jay Man. 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.840 You know, I don't mind people smoking pot, but I 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:47.840 don't want to smell it everywhere I go. I had 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:49.800 a friend tell me the other day he could smell 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.960 it going down the highway coming out of somebody's guard right, 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:55.000 So first of all, don't drive around and smoke it. 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:57.920 But you know, if the drinks are a way for 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.680 people to get the THCHC and it takes away from 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.680 them wanting to smoke, that I think that's a good thing, 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:04.440 even for myself. 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:04.960 At my agent. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.360 Willy doesn't smoke anymore, but he's got his own Willy's remedy, 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.840 but he's got his own drink right uh. And and 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.200 so if we see a change in people's attitudes moving 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.880 towards Hey, I want this TC in my system, but 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.600 I'll get it from drinking instead of smoking. That will 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:26.480 really reduce the black markets a huge hold on this, 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:27.560 so right Will. 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.440 He's also got a song about it. He rolled me 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:30.760 up and smoked me. When I die. 0:16:31.080 --> 0:16:32.480 You hear that one. 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.160 When I die, I have another one. 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.560 It's all going the pot. We lock it or not. 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:43.640 Jay Man, it's it's great catching up with you. You 0:16:43.680 --> 0:16:45.800 have a merry Christmas and stay out of trouble, all right. 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:48.040 You two can't talk to you next year. 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:50.960 There's a Yeah, there's a guy that knows his weed. 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.920 But I I think when the Governor's office turns over, 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:59.320 whether it's acting God help us all or if it's 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:03.760 a nswami, I think this thing will come before the 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:08.800 governor again. If the legislature stays read. I think this 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.320 whole thing comes before the governor again, whoever it may be. 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.840 And I think it passes without line item veto. I 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:19.080 just do I just you know, okay, I think there 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:21.320 are a lot of people that were disappointed, a lot 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.359 of people that were happy. But it sounds like the 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.120 overwhelming majority in this state if you look at the polling, 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:32.800 one in fifty six to pass without without challenge or change. 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:35.840 So keep your antenna up. There you go. The j 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.679 man said, come next November, it's all going to change. 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.919 We're twelve twenty five right now, right here on this 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:53.119 December news Radio seven hundred WLW Torld forty one. On 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:57.800 this Saturday, Welcome back News Radio seven hundred WLW. 0:17:57.840 --> 0:17:58.280 I am. 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:08.520 On the program today John Houston, who is an Ohio senator. 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:11.000 Don't feel badly if you don't know who the guy is. 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.359 Forty percent of the people in Ohio apparently don't know 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.480 who John Houston is in a recent poll. Anyway, he 0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:20.400 is filling out the term that JD. Vance was elected 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.560 to when Vance became the Vice President of the United States. 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.760 And anyway, John Houston wants to run again on his 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.280 own And like I said, forty percent of the state 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:32.200 don't know who John Houston is. So who the hell 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.240 is this guy and why does he want to continue 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.760 being a senator. And if he is the man that 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.240 could get lost in a phone booth all by himself, 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:43.520 what's the point of sending him back to Washington. We'll 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.800 get into that at one o'clock with Rebecca Downs from 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.600 the Daily Signal. Also, the best and worst airlines to 0:18:48.680 --> 0:18:52.959 travel during this holiday season. Believe it or not, there 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:55.280 are more than a few you might be on heading 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.760 out to wherever you're going for Christmas in the New 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:02.080 Year's that are not so let's say, reliable. And then 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:05.399 what's going on in Venezuela. I mean, what is exactly 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.520 is Trump doing down there? He's got a blockade of 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:12.480 the country, He's blowing up drug boats from Venezuela, and 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:14.679 it looks like he's going to going to make a 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:19.440 move on Meduro down there. Some thought he would say 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:23.399 something about that in his speech to the country a 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.399 couple of nights ago, but he did not. But it 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:29.640 looks like there are very good odds of something happening 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.840 militarily between the United States and Venezuela. We'll get into 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.320 that with a guy who is knee deep in that 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:39.960 story at the two of six, Bill Conroy. All of 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:44.639 that and more Oh, and by the way, the Epstein 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:49.360 files are being released, what it's left of them over 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.440 the course of the last twenty four hours they've been 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:56.120 released by the DOJ. But of course, the Democrats aren't 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:59.440 really interested in anything inside the Epstein files unless it 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:04.920 incriminates Donald Trump. Uh, you got a guy, Democrat, Representative Garcia, 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:08.280 we will take legal action of Trump continues to stonewall 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:12.160 on the Epstein files. And then, of course you've got 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:17.840 the squad. You have congress Woman Ayana Presley. She's accusing 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:22.080 Trump of a brazen cover up with redacted Epstein files. 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:23.800 You want to know if it's redacted in the files 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.520 that they've bet. They got Bill Clinton. They got a 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:30.960 picture of Bill Clinton in a bathtub with another woman 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:35.120 who's whose whose eyes have been redacted, and they're only 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:41.400 redacting apparently pictures and things inside pictures that involve victims 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.520 or people that are not named inside the Epstein files. 0:20:46.560 --> 0:20:50.200 Per se, they got Clinton laying in some bathtub. They 0:20:50.280 --> 0:20:54.439 got another picture of swimming in a pool with the 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:59.320 Maxwell chick that was Epstein's right hand person. And I've 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.639 said this, and I said it really since all of 0:21:01.640 --> 0:21:04.560 this popped up, if the Democrats were so damned interested 0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:08.160 in the Epstein files, then why weren't they all over 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:12.160 getting them released when they had power White House, Senate, 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:16.880 House of Representatives from twenty twenty one through twenty twenty three, 0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:20.040 twenty twenty one January through twenty twenty three January. They 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:23.240 had two years to do it, and of course they 0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:29.040 didn't because they know that most of the people that 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:32.920 are inside those files, most of the people of note, 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:35.120 at least the ones we've seen so far, but they 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:39.560 probably knew it would be embarrassing to their party. But 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:41.880 they really don't give a rats rear end about Bill 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:46.440 Clinton or his wife Hillary. They don't give really a 0:21:46.560 --> 0:21:49.600 rats rear end about Barack Obama anymore. They want something 0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:52.600 that's going to get Trump, get Trump, stop Trump, Orange 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:56.200
