And 15 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: one of the things he's also done is he has 16 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 2: given a lot of money over the years to political candidates. 17 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: According to the Internet here three and a half million 18 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: dollars to federal can and it's in party committees since 19 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty and that's both Republican and Democrats. So with 20 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 2: right now, with your name getting tied to Jeffrey Epstein, 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 2: you're getting to posed what happens to all these political contributions? 22 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: What is a politician to do? 23 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: To discuss that much more about this, we bring on 24 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 2: our good friend of the show, former city council member 25 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 2: and public interest attorney Steve Good Steve, how are you hey? 26 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: Great guys, how are you hey, Steve? We are good. 27 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: So I guess what was your reaction when you saw 28 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: the news about Wexner and his ties with local and 29 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: federal governments here and throughout the state of Ohio. 30 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 4: Well, it was no surprise to me. You know, I 31 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 4: many many years ago, I lived in Columbus and worked 32 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 4: as an aid in the state legislature, like in the nineties, 33 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 4: and you know, that was when Wexter was in sort 34 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 4: of his heyday in Columbus. And there's really no one 35 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 4: like him comparable here in Cincinnati. I mean, he's somebody that, 36 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 4: you know it was a multi multi billionaire and had 37 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 4: all these national companies, but lived in Columbus. And he 38 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 4: lives in a huge estate in New Albany, Ohio, which 39 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 4: is kind of like an Indian hill ish area north 40 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 4: of the city. And his tea hit was in the nineties, 41 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 4: really putting his fingerprints on everything. And this is really 42 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 4: before obviously anyone knew about the Epstein piece or anything 43 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 4: of that nature. So you know, restaurants you'd go to like, oh, 44 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 4: this is one of the Wexner you know, family members 45 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 4: has this restaurant. And then you know the the arts center, 46 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 4: you know down as you drive through the short North 47 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 4: the Wexner Art Center. And then he ultimately became the 48 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 4: chair of the board of trustees at Ohio State their hospital, 49 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 4: I think the Hart Hospital, Like you know, it seems 50 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 4: like half the campus is named after West Wexner. And 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 4: millions of pro millions of dollars. And yes, he threw 52 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 4: a lot of money around the political arena up until 53 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 4: this last election cycle. I mean, we now know that 54 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 4: Senator John Hughes did to get back over one hundred 55 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 4: thousand dollars or actually I think he donated a charity. 56 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 4: Even some of the smaller offices locally, like Columbus City 57 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 4: Council members, many of them got donations from Wexner. And 58 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 4: it's become a huge deal. And I worked in Columbus 59 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 4: affair amount vice here in Cincinnati, but I'm in Columbus 60 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 4: often on court cases, and I can tell you that 61 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 4: it's front page news. There there are a lot of activists, 62 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 4: there's a lot of nurses and people who work at 63 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 4: the hospitals where with his name on them, who are 64 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 4: in the name of the Epstein victims are actually pushing 65 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 4: back and demanding that his name come off everything as well. 66 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 4: And I also think, you know, we've got to be 67 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 4: very clear about what he is actually accused of doing 68 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 4: and what the proof is. I mean, he was never prosecuted, 69 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 4: but we do know from this latest dump of Epstein 70 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 4: files that the Justice Department released that as late as 71 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 4: twenty nineteen, he was either listed as or considered as 72 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 4: a possible unindicted co conspirator in some of the Epstein crimes. 73 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 4: We do know that Virginia Guphrey, who is the lady 74 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 4: who was actually now deceased, the young woman who claimed 75 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 4: who you know he isn't the famous photo with Epstein 76 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 4: and Glen Maxwell and Prince Andrew. She claims that she 77 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 4: had been trafficked to less Wexner. So he denies all 78 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 4: of this. We do know that Epstein managed Wexner's money 79 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 4: by and large and handled a lot of his personal affairs, 80 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,799 Speaker 4: and that Wexner actually gave him. Gave Epstein this famous 81 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 4: townhouse that he has had up in New York where 82 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 4: a lot of where he kind of ran his operations 83 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 4: from in the States. So these folks are very intertwined. 84 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 4: And I guess I saw the first statement that was released. 85 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 4: His deposition occurred today. James Comer, Representative Comer, you know, 86 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: was doing this oversight committee into the Epstein release, and 87 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 4: I get the quote that Len Wexner's p The issue 88 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 4: was the quote, I have been duped by a world 89 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 4: class con man. But I don't think that quote's going 90 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 4: to make it go away. So there's a lot of 91 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 4: people who do clearly feel there's either Again, he's never 92 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 4: been formally charged, but there's a lot of people to 93 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 4: feel that the it's kind of how could he not 94 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 4: have known? Is sort of the argument, given the extent 95 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 4: to which Epstein was managing his personal affairs, the extent 96 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 4: to which they apparently traveled together, and the fact that 97 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 4: his name surfaces in connection with some of the alleged 98 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 4: sexual assaults. 99 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 1: So it's something. 100 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 4: I don't think it's going away. But I think pretty 101 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 4: much every politician that has recently taken money is being 102 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 4: put on the hotspot to give the money to charity, 103 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 4: and in an Ohio state, I think this is going 104 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 4: to be something that plays out. 105 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: For some time. 106 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 4: And it looks as though that right now the university 107 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 4: is really not willing to totally cut ties on the 108 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 4: grounds that's saying what he hasn't been convicted of anything. 109 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 4: How long that holds out I think is a political question, 110 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 4: not illegal one, but but that's really the state of affairs. 111 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: You know, Steve, Steve, I knew when reached out to you. 112 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 3: You know, you've been all over following the Epstein case. 113 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: Obviously your connections in not only politics in the state 114 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: of Ohio, but in the legal world as well. 115 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: So I knew. 116 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: I didn't even know, and I didn't realize you had 117 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 3: worked in the state House. So you even knew Les 118 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: Wesner when no one else did, or you know, knew 119 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 3: of him in terms of you had mentioned something to me, 120 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 3: there's a court case that you're involved in that has 121 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 3: some kind of connection to something that he's involved in. 122 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 4: Well, I've got to be a little careful how we 123 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 4: talk about this last week. Yeah, but no, I could 124 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 4: say this because it's been in the Wall Street Journal 125 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 4: of the New York Times last week. There's an independent 126 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 4: journalist in in in Columbus who you know, who walks 127 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 4: around with a camera kind of following people, and he 128 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 4: basically got into a fight with an Ohio State saw 129 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 4: those trying to, yeah, trying to interview Gordon Ghee, who 130 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 4: is the former president of Ohio State but who still 131 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 4: works at Ohio State as sort of a consultant and uh. 132 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 4: And it ultimately ended up with a professor trying to 133 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 4: block the interview of Gordon Gee by this sort of 134 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 4: independent journalist Guy's kind of like a you know, kind 135 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 4: of what Don Lemon is now, someone who had you know, 136 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 4: posts videos on YouTube and so forth. 137 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: Uh. 138 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 4: And it ultimately ended up with the professor being charged 139 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 4: for assault. And it's uh, I think going to turn 140 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 4: into a big nasty piece of litigation. I mean, the 141 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 4: Columbus has a kind of a different culture in terms 142 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 4: of uh, in terms of its journal you know, independent journalists. 143 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 4: There are several guys who have websites and Twitter feeds 144 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 4: where they go around the State House and do these 145 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 4: sort of ambush interviews where they you know, raize their 146 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 4: own camera and so forth. The Rooster is one of them. 147 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 4: This is not the rooster, although the rooster was present, uh, 148 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 4: and published the video of what occurred here. This this 149 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 4: guy that the guy I'm dealing with is not the rooster, 150 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 4: but it's similar. Uh, I guess aspires to be the rooster. 151 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 4: But it's very common in Columbus, I guess because it's 152 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 4: the state capital that people do this sort of ambush 153 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 4: journalism stuff thing. We don't really see it a lot 154 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 4: in Cincinnati. But yeah, that's ad probably the federal court 155 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 4: in a really nasty way. Uh. And this guy, you know, 156 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 4: that's just part of the thing. And and if you 157 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 4: if you look at a lot of the videos on 158 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 4: the Rooster, you see you know, on their Twitter feed 159 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 4: and their Facebook feed and their sub stack. You know, 160 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 4: these are guys that have been relentless on the Wexner 161 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 4: piece in Columbus. They follow Wexner's attorneys and other people, 162 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 4: They follow them around parking lots. They try to get 163 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 4: every little piece of information they can. And right now, 164 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 4: Gordon Gee, who was you know, one time just one 165 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 4: of the most beloved OSU presidents ever saw that line. 166 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: He really yeah, he's in. 167 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 4: He's in the hot seat because of he's the guy 168 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 4: that actually took a lot of the Wexner money and 169 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 4: facilitated a lot of the Wexner naming. So, you know, 170 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 4: a lot of people's legacies are in Columbus are very 171 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 4: very much in jeopardy right. 172 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 2: Now, Steve good as our guests, and Steve, this is 173 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 2: quite the moral dilemma, is it not. I mean, let's 174 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: leave the political contribution piece aside and just talk about 175 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: the buildings that have his name on met Ohio State 176 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 2: and all over Columbus. 177 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: You know, what what do you do? 178 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 2: Do you do you find if he's convicted, Yes, it's obviously, 179 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: you know. 180 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: A horrible, horrible, horrible thing. 181 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 2: But you know, colleges that are getting millions and millions 182 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: of dollars don't want to part with those funds. And 183 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: then it becomes well, when did the impropriety take place? 184 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 2: Was it before this day? Was it after, you know, 185 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: before Epstein and his involvement. If it was, does that 186 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: make it okay? And if it was after, it's not. 187 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 5: What was the case. 188 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: What was the building down that you see that had 189 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: someone's name Marshot Marshall Stadium? 190 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: Okay, there was that one, but I felt like there 191 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 2: was another one too, had a tie to someone whose 192 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: family at some point had slave and it was a 193 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 2: big deal. 194 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: There you go. Yeah, so it is a you know, 195 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's. 196 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: A moral dilemma, and you don't want to give up 197 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 2: the funds, but it's what what is the right thing 198 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 2: to do here? 199 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: That's a huge question. 200 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 4: Well, and I think that's that's really what what everyone's 201 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 4: wrestling with is kind of what did they know and 202 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 4: when did they know it? And I think that's one 203 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 4: of the particular reasons. Yeah, Gordon Gee is in Touble. 204 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 4: I mean, look, as we mentioned before, I never met 205 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 4: Les Wesner, but he was certainly somebody you knew about 206 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 4: if he worked in the state house back in the nineties, 207 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 4: because he was really, you know, a businessman on the rise, 208 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 4: uh and and was throwing a lot of money around 209 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 4: the political systems. It's just a name that you heard. 210 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 4: It was in the newspaper almost every day, and you know, 211 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 4: and frankly, there was a lot of pride. I mean, 212 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 4: Victoria's secrets of you know, you know, bath and body works. 213 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 4: These these are things that I typically wouldn't buy. Jason, 214 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 4: maybe you do, but I don't. But they were big 215 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 4: national brands and everyone was like, wow, look they're being 216 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 4: run out of Columbus, and it was great. All these 217 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 4: jobs and he's employing people, and his operation that he 218 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 4: had there was just you know, it was just massive, 219 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 4: the warehouses that he had. So he was throwing a 220 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 4: lot of money around and doing a lot of business 221 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 4: there and was just seen as sort of a pillar 222 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 4: of the community. And now, you know, for the last 223 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 4: you know, twenty years, it's been this slow drip of information. 224 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 4: That's all that's been, you know, frankly terrible. But I 225 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 4: would say this, and this is why I think this 226 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 4: is such a conundrum for Ohio State is not only 227 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 4: has he not been charged, it's very unlikely that he 228 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 4: ever will be. I mean, he's eighty eight years old. 229 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 4: The one, for sure person who in the Epstein files, 230 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 4: you know, makes a really direct allegation, this Virginia Guffrey 231 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 4: person is deceased, you know, and you know, and what 232 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 4: she's alleging was many many years ago. It's not clear 233 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 4: that that any charges ever could be brought at this point. 234 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 4: And absent like a criminal charge at this point, you know, 235 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 4: the High State like, well, god, you know, it really 236 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 4: is you know, rumor and you Win. It's very clear 237 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 4: that they knew each other and were friendly, and that 238 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 4: Epstein worked for him. So it's really kind of a 239 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 4: guilt guilt by association, I would say, maybe guilt by association. Plus, 240 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 4: I mean, some of the details in the files are 241 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 4: are very troubling, and it does beg the question of 242 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 4: how could he not have known or and it does 243 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 4: you know, really does lead to the legitimate questions about 244 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 4: whether or not he was involved with any of this stuff. 245 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 4: I think it's also pretty clear that they traveled together, 246 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 4: he was on the island. 247 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: And so forth. 248 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 4: So but at the end of the day, you just 249 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 4: don't have a court document saying you know he did this. 250 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 3: Well, now, Steve, and you mentioned Les Westerner was mentioned 251 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 3: in that. There's a Epstein documentary Filthy Rich on Netflix, 252 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 3: and Les Wester's mentioned in that by wat shot it's 253 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 3: been it's been on there for a few years. But 254 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 3: real quick, Steve, bringing this back home the Cincinnati I 255 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 3: saw those headlines all across the state yesterday. Rocky mentioned 256 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 3: earlier all these Democrats and Republicans, John Houston being the 257 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 3: biggest name, are given their money back or they're donating 258 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 3: it that they got from les Wester and political donations. 259 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 3: Did do you know of anyone in Cincinnati that les 260 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 3: Wesner has supported or or as close with and has 261 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 3: nothing to do, not necessarily with anything Epstein or anything. 262 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 3: Uh you know, because did did Did he have any 263 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 3: connections here with you know, in the business or political world, 264 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 3: you know, not really. 265 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 4: I mean I do know that some of our local 266 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 4: folks who have run for statewide office, I think, you know, 267 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 4: had had met with him over the years in the nineties, 268 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 4: but no one, no one in recent memory. And uh, 269 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 4: you know, there really aren't l Brands as his parent company, 270 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 4: and they really don't have much of a presence here 271 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 4: other than some retail stores.

Come up at four o'clock. 356 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 2: We're supposed to have a Hollywood director producer on to 357 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: talk about it's It's made a lot of rounds on 358 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: social media. The video of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise 359 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 2: fighting on top of this on this rooftop building, and 360 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 2: it looks real right. If you didn't know any better, 361 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 2: you would not know. But it is one hundred percent AI. 362 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 2: So we are often discussing the implications of AI and 363 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 2: the jobs that may or may not take And I 364 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 2: think the world of Hollywood is a platform where a 365 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 2: lot of jobs could go. 366 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: I mean AI making movies and TV shows. 367 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 2: I mean, think about all the money. I mean even 368 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 2: these like I mean, to shoot a movie in California 369 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 2: anymore is just astronomically expensive. So now if you don't 370 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 2: even have to shoot in California, you do it on 371 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 2: your laptop. It's But then again, the dilemma is do 372 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 2: people want, well, they watch a movie that doesn't have 373 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: soul in my opinion, you know, well, you listen to 374 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 2: a song that AI creates that wasn't it didn't come 375 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 2: from the soul of an artist who went through a 376 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 2: certain thing and had an emotion. 377 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: And the is a dilemma. 378 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 3: But I think just from the well, yeah, I mean 379 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 3: the other part of that dilemma is is there gonna 380 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 3: be any kind of regulation where you have to even 381 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 3: disclose that exactly? 382 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: Will we even know? Oh we even know? 383 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 13: Right? 384 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 2: That's you're right, that's the big question. So we're scheduled 385 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 2: talking to him at four, but he's on a plane. 386 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 2: If we don't give it. 387 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: Before, we'll get him at four thirty five. That'll be interesting. 388 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 2: On this day in history, Jason February eighteenth nineteen thirty, 389 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 2: So this is I think Willy reported this. He was 390 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 2: doing the Night show at the time, and I think 391 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 2: seg was still doing the pregame red stuff like down 392 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 2: the Dugout. 393 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right around that same thing. I believe he 394 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: reported on this. Yeah. 395 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 2: Pluto, once believed to be the ninth planet, is discovered 396 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 2: at the LAO Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, by astronomer Clyde W. 397 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: Tomball all Right. 398 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 2: The existence of a unknown ninth planet was proposed by 399 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: first by per use of Old Lowell, who theorized that 400 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: the wobbles in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune were 401 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 2: caused by a gravitational pool by some other planets. So 402 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 2: they didn't couldn't see the planet back there and before 403 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 2: nineteen thirty, but they're like, okay, the orbits are kind 404 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: of wobbly, so that must mean there's something pulling on it. 405 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: YadA YadA ya. 406 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: Lowell calculated the approximate location of the hypothesized planet and 407 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 2: searched for more than a decade without success, but in 408 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: nineteen twenty nine, using the calculations of Lowell, the search 409 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 2: for Pluto was resumed at the observatory there in Arizona, 410 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 2: and then again on February eighteenth to this day in 411 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,239 Speaker 2: history nineteen thirty, Tombaugh discovered the distant planet by use 412 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 2: of a new astronomic technique of photographic plates combined with 413 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 2: a blink microscope. So it just took the you know 414 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 2: itok time for the technology. It's like, it's crazy, like 415 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 2: they knew for a long time that there's something probably there, 416 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 2: but we can't see it. And then they finally had 417 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 2: the technology that allowed them to see it with a 418 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 2: surface temperature estimated approximately minus three hundred and sixty degrees fahrenheit, 419 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: so not unlike a couple of weeks ago here in Cincinnati. 420 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 2: Pluto was appropriately given the Roman name for the god 421 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: of the underworld in Greek mythology. Pluto's average distance from 422 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 2: the Sun is nearly four billion miles takes approximately get 423 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 2: this preaks approximately four or two hundred and forty eight 424 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 2: years to complete one orbit. Is also the most elliptical 425 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: and tilted orbit of any planet, and its closest point 426 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 2: and to the Sun passes inside the orbit of Neptune 427 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: at certain points. The eighth planet, which, by the way, 428 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 2: you know, fast forward here to leave the get to 429 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 2: the point here. That is the reason why in nineteen 430 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: seventy excuse me, two thousand and six, NASA and the uh, 431 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 2: those folks in the in that world said that Pluto 432 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 2: is not in fact a planet with. 433 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,719 Speaker 1: The stipulation reading classified. 434 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 2: Yes, right, it's it's it's orbit at some point in 435 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 2: it and its rotation goes inside of Neptune. That is 436 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 2: their classification. And if it does that, you're not a planet. 437 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 2: So I still think Pluto should be the planet. 438 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 3: This is a great topic for our bud Dean Dean 439 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 3: because he gets fired up about it. And he was 440 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 3: talking about was there you mentioned something about the Arizona. Yeah, 441 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 3: and that's going on. Is that going on right now 442 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 3: where people are out looking at it or something? 443 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: Okay? 444 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I was in in for you a couple 445 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 3: of Fridays ago and we had him on and uh 446 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 3: he mentioned this and he said, I wish I could 447 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 3: be there. I think it was something online. I wish 448 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 3: I could be there so I could tell those people 449 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 3: that Pluto is not a plant. 450 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's yeah. He might even have a book 451 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: on it, like he is. Probably. 452 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 2: He is steadfast and and sure and certain and very 453 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 2: convicted that I Love I Love NASA is a description 454 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 2: of it. Pluto is a small, icy world with five moons. Yeah, 455 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 2: a world versus on icy world versus a plan Let's see, 456 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: pluto diameter is something else Star Wars fourteen miles so yeah, 457 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 2: fairly small. 458 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 1: But uh it's very easy. You think, like, how far 459 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: away like it is? 460 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 14: What was it again? 461 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: From the sun? Yeah, let me let me look it up. 462 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 4: I had it. 463 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, the average distance from the Sun is nearly four 464 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 2: billion with a b miles. That's multiple eternity is away, 465 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 2: so you can't even fathom it. 466 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: So here, let's go. 467 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 2: Let's go the phones here. This is what I love 468 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 2: about the show. Here we have people weigh in on 469 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 2: such topics. Let's go to Blue Ash and talk to Darren. 470 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 2: Darren weigh in on Pluto. 471 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: Please, Hey guys. 472 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 15: So yeah, I went out to school in beautiful Flags 473 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,360 Speaker 15: at Arizona, home of Glorious Lumberjackson. While I was there, 474 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 15: the story was always said that Pluto has hypothesized over 475 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 15: a conversation at a bar, the famous hotel Mani Vista 476 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 15: Cocktail Lounge. 477 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 10: If you've ever heard of that place in Flag. 478 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 2: Really, so like you're talking, I mean hundreds of years ago. 479 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 2: It was like, hey, we think it's up there, and 480 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 2: it was talked about before it was discovered. 481 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 15: Yeah, I believe it was Lowell that was talking about it. 482 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 15: And he was talking to his colleagues after a day 483 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 15: at the office pretty much, and they were scribbling his 484 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 15: mathematical equations on the back of a cocktail napkin. And 485 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 15: I guess that's how they got the whole thing rolling. 486 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 15: It's at least the rumor that. 487 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 2: I was told there now and it's amazing, and Darren, 488 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 2: thank you. That's great stuff. That a lot of the 489 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 2: early astrological findings were all theory because they didn't have 490 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 2: these telescopes actually see it. Right, It's like, well, because 491 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 2: of this and because of that, and because this is 492 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 2: there and that star is there and there's you know, 493 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: there's Mars boom, this must mean this has to exist. 494 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 3: It's pretty fall incredibly hard to comprehend, very very hard 495 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 3: to comprehend. Moving on, here's something else hard to comprehend. Yes, 496 00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 3: your boy, Tony Clark. 497 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: Okay, he was the executive director of the Major League 498 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 2: Baseball Players Association. I had been in that role for 499 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 2: twelve years and they got a big a big time 500 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 2: coming up here. 501 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: The potential. Yeah, it's gonna be ugly baseball stoppage next year. 502 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 3: It's very very real that that we may not have, 503 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 3: that we will not have baseball in twenty twenty seven. 504 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: It's very real, real possibility. 505 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 2: Quickly, give me before we get back to your boy, 506 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 2: Tony Clark, why do you what's your number one hypothesis? 507 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 3: Well, I mean that the owners want a salary cap 508 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 3: and the players don't. And that's I mean, that's the 509 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 3: oversimplification of it. But essentially, you know this is, you know, 510 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 3: the players want to maximize how much they can make, 511 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 3: and you know there's a salary cap your potential level, 512 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 3: and ultimately a salary cap it essentially doesn't do a 513 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 3: lot of good for baseball. It punishes, you know, the 514 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 3: y Dodgers and the Dodgers. But it's like it it's again, 515 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 3: if you're the Reds, you're like, Okay, we don't have 516 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 3: to spend up to it, so we're can just keep 517 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 3: going what we're doing. And on all those a lot 518 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 3: of those teams that are the way they spend now 519 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 3: they can continue to spend because like, oh, the salary 520 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 3: caps at this we're't never close to that. 521 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: We don't have to be. But but isn't that the 522 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: argument for why football is seemingly more fair. 523 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 2: That is that because there's a salary cap, yes, and 524 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 2: you can't just buy everybody, but the salary cap there 525 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 2: is congruent with you know, it's all a big mathematical calculation. 526 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 3: It's more congruent with the revenue sharing. And with the 527 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 3: revenue sharing, you've all you know, generally got a pretty 528 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 3: equal amount of money from the TV. That's why the 529 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals, you know, are on par with even the 530 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 3: biggest of market teams for the for the most part. Now, 531 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 3: now the team itself, uh, you know, if you're the 532 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 3: New York Giants or the you know, the Los Angeles Rams, 533 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 3: you know, you have the potential to make more money 534 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 3: in corporate sponsorships that you sell, you know, for your 535 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 3: stadium versus a Cincinnati. 536 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 5: But you can't. 537 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 16: Can't. 538 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 3: Amount of money is your TV money. And that's all 539 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 3: spread evenly across every you know, over four hundred million 540 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 3: dollars now, and there's a why. 541 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: Wouldn't they just do what football? 542 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 2: I mean, that works and it gives everybody, and I 543 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: understand the players argus I wouldn't want it either if 544 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 2: I was, if I was the Dodgers. 545 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: But at some point, what's better for the game, isn't it? 546 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: I agree? 547 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 3: No, no, I agree, like, But the problem is is 548 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 3: that TV is so easy. In football, there's one game 549 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 3: a week, seventeen weeks a year. There's a game every 550 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 3: day for six months and what five six months in baseball, Yeah, 551 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 3: and that's every team, every game, and that's it's incredibly 552 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 3: hard to get, you know, because not everyone's gonna want 553 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 3: to watch, uh you know, as you know, there's just 554 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 3: such a great regional national TV set up between you know, 555 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 3: with with the NFL, but it's that's incredibly difficult to 556 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 3: do on a daily basis and with all the network infrastructure, and. 557 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 2: I guess, but I mean, I mean, more people watch, 558 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 2: you know, the the Rams than they watch the Browns. 559 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 2: And they figure it out, right, right, they do. But 560 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 2: you know, at the end of the day, it's one 561 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 2: game a week, though, right, right, Yeah, I mean, can 562 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 2: you just divide it by one sixty two? I hope 563 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 2: they they hope it happens. I'm always told that Baseball's 564 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 2: union is the most powerful thing there. 565 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: It is, and not just in sports. 566 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 3: It's one of the most powerful unions and all right, 567 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 3: all of America, all of America. 568 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, they really have. 569 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 3: I having covered the baseball beat earlier in my career, 570 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 3: I got a pretty close up experience dealing with the 571 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 3: union and the Union rep in the in the clubhouse, 572 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 3: and uh, I learned a lot and it was very 573 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 3: very powerful. 574 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: Interesting. 575 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 2: Well back to my original topic here, Tony Clark again, 576 00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: he's the executive director of the MLB Players Association, been 577 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 2: there for twelve years. 578 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: Uh. He was caught in an. 579 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: Inappropriate relationship with his with his sister in law. Now, 580 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 2: that could mean one of two things. That could mean 581 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 2: your brother's wife or in this case, it's your wife's sister. 582 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 2: That's what turned out. It was his wife's sister, I 583 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 2: believe was also working for MLB. 584 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: Uh. 585 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 2: So the question to you and the American people, I 586 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 2: guess it could be a sister's wife or sister, right, yes, three, 587 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,959 Speaker 2: I thank you, Austin. Yes there's a third possibility out there, really, 588 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 2: so in your opinion and always to the American people 589 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 2: as well.

And 829 00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 13: you know it's created by a guy name Rori Robinson 830 00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 13: who's an Oscar nominated filmmaker. And you did mention that 831 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,560 Speaker 13: this is part of Sea Dance two point zero, which 832 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,240 Speaker 13: is no, It's basically you could. 833 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,320 Speaker 1: Enter a text and it creates the video. 834 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,399 Speaker 13: And so this is also part of Byte Dance, which 835 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 13: is the parent company of TikTok. So sort of a 836 00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 13: lot of layers here to sort of pack. 837 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 2: So, but I mean, are do you share the worry 838 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 2: of a lot of people? And I've heard, you know, 839 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 2: actors and folks involved in Hollywood of like, so, so 840 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,840 Speaker 2: what happens? Are they gonna not even just the the 841 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 2: actors themselves, but the you know, the screenwriters and the 842 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,120 Speaker 2: production folks and the extras that are in these movies. 843 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 2: It seems like a lot of these folks can become replaceable. 844 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:25,800 Speaker 2: Do you share that opinion? 845 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:27,399 Speaker 18: Yeah? 846 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,480 Speaker 1: I think that's certainly there. There will be some of that. 847 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,280 Speaker 13: Like any tool, digital tool, it's going to be deployed 848 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,839 Speaker 13: to help you do things quicker with less manpower. I mean, 849 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,160 Speaker 13: we've done that since we've got rid of horse and 850 00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 13: buggies and created in general combustion engine, right, So, I 851 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 13: mean technology is always frightening. I think one of the 852 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 13: things to really remember is that much of this is 853 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,320 Speaker 13: going to have to be litigated over the next few years. 854 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 13: You know, are going to have to put some bumpers 855 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 13: and some guard rails on this to protect many of 856 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,879 Speaker 13: these jobs. But really, at the end of the day, 857 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 13: you know, great creative minds, the human being is not 858 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,200 Speaker 13: ever going to be replaced by by an AI tool. 859 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 3: That was what I was gonna ask you. And there's 860 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 3: there's so many layers to this as well. You know, 861 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 3: like you mentioned, there's gonna be parameters. I mean, it's 862 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 3: Congress gonna have to get involved to put regulation in. 863 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 3: And then you throw on top of that, I mean, 864 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,839 Speaker 3: we're Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise and you know any 865 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,239 Speaker 3: other actor out there. Are they gonna be cool with that? 866 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:32,960 Speaker 3: Or are they gonna have to sign off on it? 867 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 3: Is it gonna be legally like yeah, you can use 868 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 3: me my image in an AI film and uh, you 869 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 3: know as long as I make X amount of dollars, 870 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,320 Speaker 3: is that are we heading that direction? Or you know, 871 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 3: it seems like the layers of litigation and regulations are 872 00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,279 Speaker 3: are are kind of you know, it's hard to get 873 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 3: your arms around it. 874 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 13: Yeah, No, to your point, there definitely is gonna be litigation, 875 00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 13: but you know, we really have to protect people's you know, 876 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 13: visual image rights. I mean recently, Matthew McConaughey popyrighted all right, 877 00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:10,280 Speaker 13: all right, all right, so yeah, anytime that is used, 878 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,400 Speaker 13: he's going to earn a dime on it. So uh, 879 00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,120 Speaker 13: I mean that is the piece of puzzle that is 880 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 13: going to take a while to figure out, as it 881 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 13: does with a lot of new technologies that we want 882 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 13: to you know, impress upon people that we can only 883 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 13: use people's images, images and life rights, you know, with 884 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 13: specific permissions, and those guardrails are gonna have to be 885 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:38,479 Speaker 13: put up, you know, in profit in court. My guess 886 00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,000 Speaker 13: is it will go all the way to the Supreme 887 00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 13: Court some of these cases. 888 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 2: Jonathan Brown is our guest award winning director and producer, 889 00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 2: and Jonathan, look, I'm not an artist obviously, but you 890 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 2: know I think about like a film or a song 891 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,760 Speaker 2: even that can be generated by AI, like it doesn't 892 00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:58,680 Speaker 2: have the soul to it, right, Like it doesn't have 893 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,720 Speaker 2: there's no like like especially music. For me, I can't 894 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,800 Speaker 2: fathom like enjoying a song created by Ai because I 895 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,960 Speaker 2: like the fact that there was some person that was 896 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 2: going through some hard time and that that that moment 897 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,680 Speaker 2: made them out of that hardship, right created some great 898 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 2: song or or for your in your case, a great movie. 899 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 2: Do you feel that people consumers of in this case 900 00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,960 Speaker 2: movies will look at it that way and they'll shun 901 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,800 Speaker 2: ai generated movies or people just say, hey, whatever the 902 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 2: hell entertains me at the moment, and if it's cheap, 903 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:34,320 Speaker 2: I'm all for it. 904 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,680 Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah, No, I think I think 905 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 1: you're right. I think there really isn't. 906 00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 13: I think a lot of this stuff up here is 907 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:46,840 Speaker 13: quite soulless, and you know, we really do connect with 908 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 13: characters that are real, that have real struggles, and and 909 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 13: that that feel real to us real life experiences, and 910 00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 13: that that really is something I'm not sure that the 911 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:04,600 Speaker 13: technology piece is going to be able to to generate. 912 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:04,839 Speaker 1: At this point. 913 00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 3: And then I guess too, you throw in that you know, 914 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,680 Speaker 3: this is a Chinese company that did this video, and 915 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 3: so you know, are they you know, how does Hollywood 916 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 3: even view that it's not it's not a Hollywood organization 917 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 3: or uh, this isn't this isn't a offshoot of a 918 00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 3: Hollywood studio that's doing AI. 919 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 18: This is a. 920 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,719 Speaker 3: Complete outsider here that's that's coming in and disrupting. How 921 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,279 Speaker 3: does how would Hollywood even view that that part of it? 922 00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a good question. 923 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 13: I mean, obviously, the the entire entertainment industry is a 924 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:44,279 Speaker 13: contraction period right now, with companies buying up companies, and 925 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,400 Speaker 13: you know, there there is a great line now between 926 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 13: you know, online content and content companies such as you know, 927 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:58,279 Speaker 13: TikTok and others, and you know, you know what we 928 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,960 Speaker 13: used to call traditional linear tell division or feature films. 929 00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 13: So you know, Hollywood has really been right for some 930 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:12,040 Speaker 13: big changes and nobody likes change. But I think, you know, 931 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,719 Speaker 13: mines there, we'll see some really great creative things come 932 00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:19,200 Speaker 13: out of these tools. 933 00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 1: I'm really excited to see how people use them. 934 00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,879 Speaker 2: John, last question before you let you go. You said 935 00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,120 Speaker 2: at the top there that you know, hey, look, this 936 00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 2: is kind of part of the evolution, right. We don't 937 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 2: use a horse and buggy anymore, and I'm sure even 938 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 2: twenty years ago, filmmakers use techniques that were more cutting 939 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 2: edge to save costs than they did in nineteen twenty six. Right, 940 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:46,160 Speaker 2: So what is the in your opinion, what is what 941 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,080 Speaker 2: of all the people involved in the production of a film, 942 00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 2: who is the who's the most at risk? The earliest here? 943 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 1: What do you think? Ai? Yeah, sooner rather than later 944 00:48:58,400 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 1: kind of takes over that role. 945 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:06,080 Speaker 13: Yeah, I think if we're talking about episodic television and 946 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:10,360 Speaker 13: feature films, those sort of long long form and not 947 00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,759 Speaker 13: just online content. You know, I think script writers and 948 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 13: people at that level have to worry. I think folks 949 00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 13: that do visual effects and editing pieces of the technology side, 950 00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 13: those are probably some of the jobs that are most 951 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,120 Speaker 13: at risk in short term. 952 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,239 Speaker 1: Interesting, Well, we will see how it all goes. 953 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:37,799 Speaker 2: I know, Jonathan's that technology seemingly every day gets better 954 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 2: and better, so we'll see how it all works out. 955 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:42,600 Speaker 2: But hey, listen, I know it was hard.

We're trying 1610 01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:37,680 Speaker 21: to prepare young men and young women for two to 1611 01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:40,479 Speaker 21: be in the workforce of tomorrow. We're trying to teach 1612 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:45,040 Speaker 21: them communication and discipline and character and leadership and communication 1613 01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:47,560 Speaker 21: skills and fitness and all of these things. And so 1614 01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:53,000 Speaker 21: it should not be an opportunity to make all of 1615 01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:56,120 Speaker 21: its money and to take us down the destructive path 1616 01:21:56,600 --> 01:22:01,320 Speaker 21: of sports agents and and you know the recruiting that's 1617 01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:03,880 Speaker 21: going to inevitably happen because of it. And we've seen 1618 01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:06,800 Speaker 21: the damage and danger that has happened at college because 1619 01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:08,640 Speaker 21: of this. It's gotten out of control, and we got 1620 01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:09,639 Speaker 21: to protector young people. 1621 01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:12,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, Representabird, you're from here in New Richmond. You co 1622 01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:16,200 Speaker 3: sponsored this with Mike Odioso from Green Townships, the two 1623 01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:20,719 Speaker 3: Greater Cincinnati guys. Mike Odioso a former teacher at Saint Xavier. 1624 01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:25,640 Speaker 3: Uh So he has Mike Odioso as an education background, you, 1625 01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,200 Speaker 3: as a former superintendent of New Richmond Schools, have that background. 1626 01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:32,439 Speaker 3: If you what are you hearing? And I know obviously 1627 01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:36,360 Speaker 3: you had some folks testify, but what are you hearing 1628 01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:40,479 Speaker 3: all from that school level? You know from your sup 1629 01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:42,679 Speaker 3: the folks that you got to know and you knew 1630 01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:45,720 Speaker 3: across the state from your work as a superintendent. What 1631 01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,839 Speaker 3: what what are their concerns? I know you mentioned agents, 1632 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:52,480 Speaker 3: but on the broader scale, what are the real concerns 1633 01:22:52,560 --> 01:22:53,800 Speaker 3: here that you're hearing? 1634 01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:55,479 Speaker 18: Sure? 1635 01:22:55,800 --> 01:22:58,960 Speaker 21: And I have spoken to educational leaders from around the state, 1636 01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,400 Speaker 21: and you know, you mentioned the fact that they changed 1637 01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:04,800 Speaker 21: that they changed this based on a vote of its 1638 01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:05,639 Speaker 21: member schools. 1639 01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:07,599 Speaker 18: They have to have that, and they did. 1640 01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:10,760 Speaker 21: They ask their member schools to change their bylaw on 1641 01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:14,200 Speaker 21: this issue because of what one judge in Franklin County 1642 01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:18,799 Speaker 21: had ruled a temporary injunction for Jamir Brown, as you mentioned, 1643 01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:21,920 Speaker 21: and and and so I you know, I really believe 1644 01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:24,800 Speaker 21: that that OHSAA really didn't want to go down this path, 1645 01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:27,040 Speaker 21: and I think they made a mistake by jumping because 1646 01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,400 Speaker 21: of what one judge in one county decided. And so 1647 01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:33,720 Speaker 21: you know, fifty Only about fifty five percent of the 1648 01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:37,960 Speaker 21: HSAA schools voted in support of this. The rest a 1649 01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:41,519 Speaker 21: stained or voted no. And so you asked the question, 1650 01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:45,000 Speaker 21: why are why are people concerned about it? And they're 1651 01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:49,400 Speaker 21: concerned because you know, if you allow high school high 1652 01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:51,000 Speaker 21: schools to go down this path, they're not going to 1653 01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:53,519 Speaker 21: be able to control it. It's going to lead to 1654 01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:58,120 Speaker 21: recruiting even more than is already happening right now. And 1655 01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:00,960 Speaker 21: I just think that you're going to what teams that 1656 01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:04,320 Speaker 21: are And I said, the word team team is everybody 1657 01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:07,519 Speaker 21: is sacrificing their own priorities for the will of the team, 1658 01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:08,559 Speaker 21: the mission of the team. 1659 01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:09,200 Speaker 14: UH. 1660 01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:13,280 Speaker 21: And and when you have that situation, what's the coach 1661 01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:17,519 Speaker 21: going to do when the high profile UH member member 1662 01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,240 Speaker 21: of the team that is an nil deal. What happens 1663 01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:24,000 Speaker 21: when they're not getting enough playtime? What happens when uh, 1664 01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:26,920 Speaker 21: you know, the offensive line is getting nothing and the 1665 01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:30,880 Speaker 21: quarterbacks getting a bunch? You're going to destroy that locker room? 1666 01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:34,519 Speaker 21: And and just there's so many issues here that we're 1667 01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:35,080 Speaker 21: trying to deal with. 1668 01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,800 Speaker 1: State Rep. Adam Bird joined us on the program. 1669 01:24:37,960 --> 01:24:40,920 Speaker 2: And Adam right now, if he could just you know, 1670 01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:47,240 Speaker 2: concisely lay out what the current NIL allowment is, Like, 1671 01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:50,320 Speaker 2: what is what is Ohio and Ohio schools and Ohio 1672 01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:53,519 Speaker 2: businesses allowed and not allowed to do when it comes 1673 01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:55,000 Speaker 2: to paying athletes. 1674 01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:59,920 Speaker 21: Yeah, so currently let's start with college though college is 1675 01:25:00,120 --> 01:25:04,040 Speaker 21: have a collective and they colleges do fundraising into that 1676 01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:08,160 Speaker 21: collective from from wealthy alumni, from businesses that want to 1677 01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,240 Speaker 21: be a part of that. They pay into that, and 1678 01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:13,800 Speaker 21: a college creates a budget to which they use that 1679 01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:17,720 Speaker 21: budget to pay different members of their athletic program. But 1680 01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:21,080 Speaker 21: that is not going to be allowed in OHSAI bylaws, 1681 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:24,200 Speaker 21: and of course it shouldn't be. But you also, uh, 1682 01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:26,840 Speaker 21: the school has to have no part of this, and 1683 01:25:27,240 --> 01:25:30,720 Speaker 21: and so you know, this is going to create a 1684 01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:34,200 Speaker 21: wild wild West environment because the college, I'm sorry, the coach, 1685 01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:36,000 Speaker 21: high school coach is not going to be involved, the 1686 01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:38,080 Speaker 21: athletic director of the high school, principle is not going 1687 01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:40,880 Speaker 21: to be involved. It's a hands off kind of situation, 1688 01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:45,800 Speaker 21: and I think that it's right for people to take 1689 01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,720 Speaker 21: advantage of it. And you're going to have some let's say, 1690 01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:52,080 Speaker 21: a wealthy business owner in the community that says, you know, 1691 01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:55,599 Speaker 21: I'm going to offer money, uh, and NIL deal money 1692 01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:58,160 Speaker 21: to such and such a kid, but only if you 1693 01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:01,040 Speaker 21: transfer to the school of my choosing, and that one 1694 01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:04,879 Speaker 21: person who is disassociated with from the school can decide 1695 01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,799 Speaker 21: to create an all star team on one for one school, 1696 01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:12,360 Speaker 21: perhaps the school that that wealthy alumni graduated from, and 1697 01:26:13,320 --> 01:26:18,120 Speaker 21: create create just a mess. And we're trying to solve this, 1698 01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:21,880 Speaker 21: and we're trying to keep this from from carrying apart 1699 01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:23,479 Speaker 21: high school athletics in Ohio. 1700 01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:27,680 Speaker 2: So, Adam, I mean full disclosure, I agree with with you, 1701 01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:30,639 Speaker 2: and I agree with I do not want an iol 1702 01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:34,840 Speaker 2: a part of high school sports, right, But let me 1703 01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:36,800 Speaker 2: give you some of the arguments that I hear and 1704 01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,360 Speaker 2: and just get your response. So I guess the one 1705 01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:42,639 Speaker 2: I hear the most is, you know that this money 1706 01:26:42,680 --> 01:26:45,600 Speaker 2: would help create a better situation for some kids and 1707 01:26:45,720 --> 01:26:48,280 Speaker 2: some families, and they don't have any money, and you 1708 01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:50,200 Speaker 2: know now all of a sudden, even just a few 1709 01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:54,240 Speaker 2: thousand bucks can change that kid's life. What's your response 1710 01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:54,479 Speaker 2: to that? 1711 01:26:56,680 --> 01:27:00,800 Speaker 21: Well, I'm not sure that that is all, And yes, 1712 01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:03,679 Speaker 21: that's the argument that's going to be used to take 1713 01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:05,920 Speaker 21: us down this destructive path. Now, I will tell you 1714 01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:10,120 Speaker 21: that I spoke to a registered sports agent in the 1715 01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:13,439 Speaker 21: state of Ohio today, and he told me that he 1716 01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:19,360 Speaker 21: already knows of unlicensed sports agents that are already inking 1717 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:24,000 Speaker 21: high school kids to a twenty percent blind deal. And 1718 01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:29,759 Speaker 21: this is outrageous that we have predatory kinds of people 1719 01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:32,360 Speaker 21: out there that are trying to take advantage of kids, 1720 01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:36,280 Speaker 21: trying to take advantage of their parents. And oh, by 1721 01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:38,640 Speaker 21: the way, we mentioned parents, and you said, well, that 1722 01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:42,280 Speaker 21: kid can maybe earn a thousand dollars. What about the 1723 01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:46,759 Speaker 21: issue of parents siphoning off money. We've got sports agents 1724 01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:51,760 Speaker 21: that are already siphoning off twenty percent. And I think 1725 01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,719 Speaker 21: we have child labor laws in Ohio for a reason. 1726 01:27:55,080 --> 01:28:00,760 Speaker 21: I think that we have protection regarding minors signing into 1727 01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:05,160 Speaker 21: a contract. That that's a big problem. So we've got 1728 01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:07,800 Speaker 21: to we've got to hit the brakes hard good now. 1729 01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:08,719 Speaker 18: On this issue. 1730 01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:11,840 Speaker 1: So I understand what you're saying there. 1731 01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:15,560 Speaker 2: The other one that I could think of, uh, the 1732 01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:18,760 Speaker 2: argument could be made, well, Adam, look, if if you 1733 01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:22,720 Speaker 2: don't allow Ohio to pay these athletes, and then in 1734 01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:25,880 Speaker 2: this case we're talking the top athletes, then they'll just 1735 01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:28,639 Speaker 2: transfer to another state. I mean, that's essentially what Chris 1736 01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:30,759 Speaker 2: Henry Junior did. He was at with Throw High School. 1737 01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:33,040 Speaker 2: Whether this is disclosed or not, he wound up going 1738 01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:36,280 Speaker 2: to Modern Day because guess what, they could pay him money. 1739 01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:39,200 Speaker 2: So does it dilute What do you say to the 1740 01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:42,200 Speaker 2: folks to say this will dilute the amount of of 1741 01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:44,280 Speaker 2: top talent the state of. 1742 01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:45,000 Speaker 1: Ohio will have. 1743 01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:49,960 Speaker 21: I say to that, that's not an important issue to me. 1744 01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:54,320 Speaker 21: If if top elite athletes want to transfer, they can 1745 01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:57,360 Speaker 21: do that. I'm okay with that. And in fact, Rocky 1746 01:28:57,479 --> 01:29:01,599 Speaker 21: I talked to Ohio State this week and they don't 1747 01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:04,360 Speaker 21: care if the top talent in the state leaves and 1748 01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:07,200 Speaker 21: goes because they know they can recruit and they're one 1749 01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:10,400 Speaker 21: of the best recruiters in the nation and they repeatedly 1750 01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:13,559 Speaker 21: get five stars from California, Texas, Florida to come back 1751 01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:16,679 Speaker 21: to Ohio State. So this doesn't concern them at all. 1752 01:29:17,160 --> 01:29:19,160 Speaker 21: And if somebody feels like they need to leave, or 1753 01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:21,960 Speaker 21: if they're so elite or uber talented that they can 1754 01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:25,800 Speaker 21: earn money, then okay, great, go to another state, enter 1755 01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:29,120 Speaker 21: college early and make any all money there, go to 1756 01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:32,560 Speaker 21: the Olympics, enter a professional tour. There's all kinds of 1757 01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:35,640 Speaker 21: other ways to do that, but I don't believe that 1758 01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:43,000 Speaker 21: Ohio should be subsidizing this with taxpayer money for weight rooms, stadiums, 1759 01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:45,160 Speaker 21: and so forth. And I just don't think that that's 1760 01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:47,559 Speaker 21: what Ohio High school athletics should be about. 1761 01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:52,639 Speaker 3: I'm glad you're taking this up, because, look, it's something 1762 01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:54,000 Speaker 3: that's got to stop somewhere. 1763 01:29:54,600 --> 01:29:56,280 Speaker 1: Rocky and I were talking off air, and he use 1764 01:29:56,360 --> 01:29:57,080 Speaker 1: a great example. 1765 01:29:57,360 --> 01:30:00,479 Speaker 3: I think it's on the surface of it, and at 1766 01:30:00,560 --> 01:30:03,680 Speaker 3: least the original idea of n IL was and he 1767 01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:06,360 Speaker 3: used the l Roses as an example. Ah, you know 1768 01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:10,240 Speaker 3: Star Johnny quarterback at Star, you know, high school, local 1769 01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:13,400 Speaker 3: high school goes and works with the Rosas, and you 1770 01:30:13,479 --> 01:30:15,360 Speaker 3: know they want to do a put him on a 1771 01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:19,160 Speaker 3: billboard and pay him and that's it. Like done, You're 1772 01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:20,880 Speaker 3: that's it. You know, he went out on his own 1773 01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:22,760 Speaker 3: and did it. But that's that was what it was 1774 01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:25,160 Speaker 3: supposed to be in college and it turned into pay 1775 01:30:25,240 --> 01:30:28,080 Speaker 3: to play. Like you said, agents, it's now happening in 1776 01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:31,439 Speaker 3: the state. I told a buddy of mine, I'm very 1777 01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:34,080 Speaker 3: involved in coaching youth baseball. I told a buddy of 1778 01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:36,560 Speaker 3: mine a couple of weeks ago. I was like, you 1779 01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:39,439 Speaker 3: know what this the slippery slope is happening. You're going 1780 01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:41,720 Speaker 3: to see this in youth sports at some point. And 1781 01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:43,920 Speaker 3: he laughed with me and I said, I said, don't laugh, Like, 1782 01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:48,879 Speaker 3: did you ever think we were repaying illegally paying college athletes. 1783 01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:51,360 Speaker 3: Now we're doing that with high school athletes. So I 1784 01:30:51,439 --> 01:30:55,240 Speaker 3: think what you're doing here represented bird like there's got 1785 01:30:55,360 --> 01:30:56,760 Speaker 3: to be a fight. There's got to you got to 1786 01:30:56,760 --> 01:30:59,320 Speaker 3: put up the fight or the slippery slope was going 1787 01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:02,559 Speaker 3: to continue going down. And you get that, you get 1788 01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:05,160 Speaker 3: that into U sports and it's already a mess in 1789 01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:06,160 Speaker 3: you sports generally. 1790 01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:09,320 Speaker 1: That is going to make it. It's going to ruin it. 1791 01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:12,760 Speaker 21: Yeah, yeah, Jason, thank you for bringing that up. And 1792 01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:15,960 Speaker 21: you know, before Rocky, Rocky talked about what other states 1793 01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:18,080 Speaker 21: are doing, and I think it's important to note that 1794 01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:20,920 Speaker 21: for the states that don't allow in IOL at the 1795 01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:23,519 Speaker 21: high school level, it's not because of the high school 1796 01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,400 Speaker 21: athletic governing body that's making that decision. It's because their 1797 01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:30,600 Speaker 21: state legislature has stopped stepped in and stopped this. And 1798 01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:33,439 Speaker 21: the vast majority of states that allow an IL are 1799 01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:37,200 Speaker 21: doing it because their state legislature has stayed on the 1800 01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:40,760 Speaker 21: sideline let their athletic governing body make this decision and 1801 01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:43,040 Speaker 21: has just taken a hands off approach. 1802 01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:46,840 Speaker 2: So I guess, you know, again to give my thoughts 1803 01:31:46,920 --> 01:31:52,400 Speaker 2: on that's important is if it could truly be n 1804 01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:54,559 Speaker 2: I L where again, there was a star player who 1805 01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:57,920 Speaker 2: made a name for himself, and that name had some 1806 01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:00,519 Speaker 2: sort of value to a local establish wishment and they 1807 01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:02,640 Speaker 2: wanted to, you know, kind of kind of pull that 1808 01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:06,160 Speaker 2: and give this kid fifteen hundred bucks to sign autographs 1809 01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:08,720 Speaker 2: or be a part of a billboard. If you could 1810 01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:12,240 Speaker 2: confine it to that, I would be okay with it. 1811 01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:15,680 Speaker 2: But there's no way to confine to that. I mean, 1812 01:32:16,080 --> 01:32:18,439 Speaker 2: the example was already there. It's college That was how. 1813 01:32:18,800 --> 01:32:21,000 Speaker 2: That's how college football. It was always promised to me. 1814 01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:23,559 Speaker 2: All these poor kids they after a game, they can't 1815 01:32:23,560 --> 01:32:26,600 Speaker 2: even take their girlfriend out for a cheeseburger because they 1816 01:32:26,600 --> 01:32:29,040 Speaker 2: don't get paid any money. Well, now this allows them 1817 01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:31,639 Speaker 2: to profit off or name, image and likeness. It has 1818 01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:34,439 Speaker 2: nothing to do with name, image and likeness. It is 1819 01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:37,080 Speaker 2: pay to play. So if they can't figure it out, 1820 01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:39,720 Speaker 2: If they can't figure out in the college level, with 1821 01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:43,400 Speaker 2: the NCAA and all these multimillion dollar organizations and lawyers, 1822 01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:46,360 Speaker 2: what makes people think that the high schoolers can figure 1823 01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:46,720 Speaker 2: this out. 1824 01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:50,519 Speaker 1: It absolutely won't happen for that reason alone. 1825 01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:53,360 Speaker 2: Again, and I know the OHSAA has said, oh, we 1826 01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:55,280 Speaker 2: haven't set up in a way where it doesn't allow 1827 01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:57,800 Speaker 2: collectives and it doesn't allow pay to play that there 1828 01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:01,960 Speaker 2: is so many easy, easy ways to circumvent those things. 1829 01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:04,840 Speaker 1: Adam, And somebody's gonna take it to court. Yeah that's it. 1830 01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:08,360 Speaker 2: Well, and again, Adam, you know I if you ever, 1831 01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:10,760 Speaker 2: if you ever need my services, I am happy to 1832 01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:13,400 Speaker 2: go and and and and give my thoughts on as 1833 01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:16,080 Speaker 2: someone who covers college football and me and high school football, 1834 01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:19,439 Speaker 2: Jason all of us man, because I do think this 1835 01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:22,680 Speaker 2: is kind of a you know, an Alamo moment here 1836 01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:24,960 Speaker 2: of like, if it doesn't stop here, then yeah, I'm 1837 01:33:25,000 --> 01:33:27,760 Speaker 2: gonna be you know, my my kids, you know, twelve 1838 01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:30,040 Speaker 2: year old seven on sevent team teams are gonna say, 1839 01:33:30,400 --> 01:33:32,080 Speaker 2: these kids are gonna go, well, yeah we can play 1840 01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:33,920 Speaker 2: for you, Rocky, but it's gonna it's gonna cost you 1841 01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:36,479 Speaker 2: a thousand bucks a month. That's gonna happen one day. 1842 01:33:37,479 --> 01:33:40,920 Speaker 2: So Adam, Uh, we got to run. But uh, I 1843 01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:42,320 Speaker 2: guess what what comes next year? 1844 01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:44,920 Speaker 1: Quickly? What comes next year? What's in terms of this fight. 1845 01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:49,599 Speaker 21: We had a great proponent testimony at time and committee yesterday. 1846 01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:51,439 Speaker 21: By the way, I also had one of the winning 1847 01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:54,840 Speaker 21: as basketball coaches in the state of Florida submit testimony 1848 01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:57,880 Speaker 21: to the committee on how bad ani out in Florida 1849 01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:02,439 Speaker 21: has been. And so we've got committee hearing next Tuesday 1850 01:34:02,479 --> 01:34:04,240 Speaker 21: as well. I think I've got a couple of other 1851 01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:07,120 Speaker 21: proponents that are going to come. They'll also be opportunity 1852 01:34:07,200 --> 01:34:09,920 Speaker 21: for opponents of the bill to come next Tuesday, and 1853 01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:14,360 Speaker 21: so that's that's the next step. The committee process continues. 1854 01:34:14,840 --> 01:34:17,200 Speaker 21: And so if I could just say one more thing 1855 01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:20,080 Speaker 21: about what Jason said about the courts, A lot of 1856 01:34:20,120 --> 01:34:23,160 Speaker 21: people don't want to fight this. OHSAA or high schools 1857 01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:25,360 Speaker 21: don't want to fight this because they have limited resources 1858 01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:27,600 Speaker 21: when it comes to fighting back in the court. And 1859 01:34:27,760 --> 01:34:30,400 Speaker 21: if we can pass a bill on this issue that 1860 01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:35,479 Speaker 21: prohibits it or or or limits it, then the Ohio 1861 01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:38,040 Speaker 21: Attorney General, who has deeper pockets, will be able to 1862 01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:40,680 Speaker 21: go successfully defend this bill. And that's why I think 1863 01:34:40,680 --> 01:34:43,519 Speaker 21: it's important for the state legislature to get in this all. 1864 01:34:43,720 --> 01:34:46,439 Speaker 2: I'm looking keep up the fight here, appreciate your time 1865 01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:48,320 Speaker 2: on this and I'm sure we'll touch base again. 1866 01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:51,439 Speaker 21: Thank you so much, Thank you, Thanks guys, appreciate it. 1867 01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:54,400 Speaker 1: Yep, State Rep. Adenberg. Yeah again. 1868 01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:58,439 Speaker 2: If it was the true essence of nil, where a 1869 01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:00,439 Speaker 2: guy makes a name for himself and you know, like 1870 01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:04,160 Speaker 2: a Matt Pantowski, right, that's kind of a household name, right, 1871 01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:08,639 Speaker 2: great mulder quarterback and that and he can profit off that. Fine, 1872 01:35:08,720 --> 01:35:11,960 Speaker 2: but it's it's not that because that's the worst cap 1873 01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:14,240 Speaker 2: sceiver in the world. At the that college, it has 1874 01:35:14,320 --> 01:35:17,240 Speaker 2: an aisle, it's paying, it's paying players to come to 1875 01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:21,280 Speaker 2: that school and for pay and performance.

I was watching Fox News last night and 1898 01:36:36,680 --> 01:36:40,000 Speaker 2: jd Vance was on and was talking about how the 1899 01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:43,800 Speaker 2: Iranians aren't acknowledging some red lines that US. You know 1900 01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:46,880 Speaker 2: that President Donald Trump is laid out. So what is 1901 01:36:46,960 --> 01:36:50,720 Speaker 2: the status of that potential conflict? Join us right now 1902 01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:54,200 Speaker 2: to discuss from ABC, our good friend Jordana Miller. Jordana, 1903 01:36:54,240 --> 01:36:56,880 Speaker 2: welcome in the program.

And Vice President JD. Vance, 1906 01:37:05,560 --> 01:37:09,439 Speaker 16: I think gave the most kind of apt description of 1907 01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:14,960 Speaker 16: the talks in Geneva yesterday. He said that they were mixed. Right, 1908 01:37:15,040 --> 01:37:19,160 Speaker 16: there was some progress, but also, as you just said, 1909 01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:24,679 Speaker 16: it appears the Iranians are still very far from meeting 1910 01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:29,360 Speaker 16: President Trump's red lines. And we know what some of 1911 01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:33,680 Speaker 16: those red lines are when it comes to the nuclear program, right, 1912 01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:40,479 Speaker 16: President Trump wants Ran to end its enrichment of uranium 1913 01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:45,479 Speaker 16: on its soil, and the President also wants Iran to 1914 01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:52,640 Speaker 16: hand over four hundred kilograms of highly enriched uranium that 1915 01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:55,759 Speaker 16: is at sixty percent, which is really just a step 1916 01:37:55,840 --> 01:38:00,320 Speaker 16: away from weaponization levels of ninety All of that cial 1917 01:38:00,400 --> 01:38:03,000 Speaker 16: the President wants Iran to hand over to a third 1918 01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:07,240 Speaker 16: country right to ship it out of Iran. And it 1919 01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:13,200 Speaker 16: appears from the lead reports, which seemed very credible, that 1920 01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:17,200 Speaker 16: the Iranians are only offering a pause on their enrichment 1921 01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,160 Speaker 16: program and they only want to ship out part of 1922 01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:25,840 Speaker 16: their nuclear material or they're highly enriched material. So you know, 1923 01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:30,760 Speaker 16: I think the President and his team and of course 1924 01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:36,080 Speaker 16: defense officials in Washington or you know, they're trying to 1925 01:38:37,040 --> 01:38:41,320 Speaker 16: figure out how much time to give Ran to you know, 1926 01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:45,439 Speaker 16: show more flexibility, make more concessions at the table. It 1927 01:38:45,560 --> 01:38:48,280 Speaker 16: looks like there's a window of a couple of weeks, 1928 01:38:50,760 --> 01:38:56,160 Speaker 16: though the President's a spokesperson, Karen Levitt, didn't exactly you know, 1929 01:38:56,240 --> 01:39:00,840 Speaker 16: there was no exact date given a deadline, but it's 1930 01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:03,640 Speaker 16: clear that the president doesn't have a lot of patients. 1931 01:39:05,160 --> 01:39:07,360 Speaker 16: And I think if we look at Iran and its 1932 01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:12,280 Speaker 16: history and its regime, I don't know if it's if 1933 01:39:12,320 --> 01:39:16,519 Speaker 16: it's possible to expect the Iranians to make such huge 1934 01:39:16,600 --> 01:39:19,640 Speaker 16: confessions in a short period of time. They like to 1935 01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:22,880 Speaker 16: drag things out, you know, in negotiations for a very 1936 01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:27,040 Speaker 16: long time. And so that's why I think tonight, at 1937 01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:30,720 Speaker 16: least here in Israel, the assessment is that we are 1938 01:39:30,960 --> 01:39:36,160 Speaker 16: closer than ever to a military conflict. Wow, because it 1939 01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:40,200 Speaker 16: doesn't it doesn't seem that that decides they're gonna be 1940 01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:41,519 Speaker 16: able to really bridge the gaps. 1941 01:39:42,160 --> 01:39:45,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing. So it was what last year was 1942 01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:48,800 Speaker 2: Operation Midnight Hammer, right where they came in in the US, 1943 01:39:50,160 --> 01:39:52,719 Speaker 2: as directed by Trump, took out a couple of nuclear 1944 01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:56,840 Speaker 2: enrichment facilities. But the understanding is that there are still 1945 01:39:56,920 --> 01:40:00,840 Speaker 2: some some facilities that exists and and they're just going 1946 01:40:00,880 --> 01:40:05,960 Speaker 2: about their business and trying to enrich this uranium, right, right, Well, 1947 01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:06,360 Speaker 2: I think the. 1948 01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:13,320 Speaker 16: US fear is that the Iranians have other undisclosed secret 1949 01:40:13,439 --> 01:40:18,080 Speaker 16: sites where they are continuing to move forward with their 1950 01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:25,280 Speaker 16: plan to enrich more material and to finish their plans 1951 01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:29,479 Speaker 16: for building a warhead, right to carry the material. Before, 1952 01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:34,160 Speaker 16: you know, Israel's twelve day war with Iran, which included, 1953 01:40:34,200 --> 01:40:40,719 Speaker 16: as you said, that Midnight Hammer operation which bombed several 1954 01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:44,800 Speaker 16: of Iran's nuclear sites. Before all of that, the assessment 1955 01:40:45,200 --> 01:40:47,800 Speaker 16: in the United States and in Israel was that the 1956 01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:53,960 Speaker 16: Iranians are about two years away, right, So it's clear 1957 01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:57,799 Speaker 16: that the President is worried Iran can still move forward 1958 01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:03,599 Speaker 16: even though some of their big disclosed sites were heavily damaged. Also, 1959 01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:10,000 Speaker 16: that material, the four hundred kilograms of enriched material, you know, 1960 01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:13,720 Speaker 16: that presents a danger as well, right, because that's that's 1961 01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:18,080 Speaker 16: that's enough for several warheads, right if it's enriched just 1962 01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:18,960 Speaker 16: a little bit more. 1963 01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:22,679 Speaker 2: Jordana Miller's our guests and Jordana, we just got about 1964 01:41:22,720 --> 01:41:25,920 Speaker 2: thirty seconds. If it did come down to some sort 1965 01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:29,080 Speaker 2: of conflict, what is your knowledge of the capability of 1966 01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:33,240 Speaker 2: Iran's military I mean, I mean, do they have are 1967 01:41:33,280 --> 01:41:35,920 Speaker 2: they formidable to stand up against the United States if it. 1968 01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:36,920 Speaker 1: Came to that or not? 1969 01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:44,360 Speaker 16: Well, their air defense systems are you know, mostly wiped 1970 01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:48,360 Speaker 16: out from the Twelve Day War with Israel and their 1971 01:41:48,479 --> 01:41:50,440 Speaker 16: ballistic missile capabilities. 1972 01:41:50,960 --> 01:41:51,840 Speaker 1: They have been able to. 1973 01:41:51,960 --> 01:41:56,160 Speaker 16: Build produce some more to fill in for those that 1974 01:41:56,320 --> 01:42:02,680 Speaker 16: were were destroyed. But you know, they don't have they 1975 01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:05,840 Speaker 16: don't have the kind of you know, they don't have 1976 01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:08,479 Speaker 16: the kind of military might the United States does. But 1977 01:42:08,640 --> 01:42:10,360 Speaker 16: still no question about that. 1978 01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:12,200 Speaker 1: Right, still do. 1979 01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:16,800 Speaker 2: Damage, right exactly, Just because they can't win doesn't mean 1980 01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:17,719 Speaker 2: they can't do damage. 1981 01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:18,080 Speaker 3: Well. 1982 01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:22,519 Speaker 2: Listen, Jordan.
