1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: Do you want to be in a Mexican idiot? 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 2: All right, here we go on this very interesting Thursday morning. 3 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 2: We got lots of go on, a lot of moving 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 2: parts today. First and foremost, of course, what's happening in 5 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 2: Minnesota as we speak right now with a protest going on. 6 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 2: Of course, the ice agent shooting a thirty seven year 7 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 2: old individual during a stop, and we still don't know 8 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 2: all the working pieces and what actually happened and what 9 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: really transpired. Of course we want know that for some time. 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 2: But the rush to judgment on this whole thing by 11 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 2: both the left and the right has been incredible. Getting 12 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: too this more after nine thirty five here on the 13 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 2: Scotsland Show on seven hundred WLW, I wanted to circle 14 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 2: back though, kind of handle some old business here, something 15 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 2: that happened over the holidays. And typically that's the way 16 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: things are set up. When you want to do something 17 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 2: that's controversial or will upset the appal kart so to speak, 18 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 2: you tend to do it like on a Friday, a weekend. 19 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 2: You do it when many people aren't paying attention. I 20 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 2: would say doing it a Friday when it's the holidays 21 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: is not going to as much attention as it should. 22 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: I'm talking, of course, about what happened to the CBD 23 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 2: infused beverage ban that Mike de Wine single Bagley took 24 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 2: his line out of Veto powers and killed an entire industry. 25 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 2: And this, of course, are beverages that are sold or 26 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 2: sold anywhein Ohio that contained THC small amounts of it too, 27 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 2: derived of course from CBD, and a lot of people said, hey, 28 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 2: this is pretty good. We're taking this product, and technically 29 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 2: it was, yes, a loophole, but a whole industry started 30 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: in what used to be the craft brew industry, and 31 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: a lot of puerveyors were switching over and saying, hey, 32 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: there's a market for this product here. People clearly like it. 33 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 2: They want more of it, they demanded. And yet the governor, 34 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,919 Speaker 2: in some sort of I don't know what, self righteousness 35 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: or knowing better and being in the Naty State killed 36 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: this whole thing. Joining the show this morning on seven 37 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: hundred WLW is the CEO of Ryan Geisberg right here 38 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: in Cincinnati, Adam Bankovic, Adam, good morning, Welcome. 39 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 3: Good morning, Thanks for having me. 40 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've talked about a lot this with Steve Hoffman. 41 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: Of course, you know Steve as well, and talk to 42 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: other industry leaders like yourself, Adam, and as far as 43 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: you're concern from Ryan Guis's perspective here, because you guys 44 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 2: are first and foremost the biggest pure veyors of micro 45 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 2: brief you want to call the micro brew at this point, 46 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 2: it's probably not the missing seeming how you've grown over 47 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 2: the last few years that that's entirely accurate. But how 48 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 2: much of this is impacting your business or will this 49 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: impact your business? 50 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 3: Sure, absolutely happy to talk about that. I would very 51 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 3: much still classify as the craft brew or the Brew's 52 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 3: Association definition put this squarely in there. In the craft 53 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 3: beer industry, while it's grown rapidly over the past few years, 54 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 3: to your point, has started to slow and cool off dramatically. 55 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 3: Specifically within the state of Ohio. For the past year, 56 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 3: craft beer as a category has been down around eight 57 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 3: to nine percent. And it's not the first year we've 58 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: seen the climb in the craft beer industry. So, as 59 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: you pointed out, this is an emerging segment that we've 60 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 3: seen grow rapidly across the country and becoming a real 61 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 3: part of the marketplace here in Ohio. More recently so, 62 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 3: Ryan Geist, among many other crap breweries in the state 63 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 3: of Ohio have looked to it as we know that 64 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 3: we've got lots of consumers in the marketplace that are 65 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 3: asking for these beverages and wanting these beverages, and very clearly, 66 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: not only do those consumers want those, but crap breweries 67 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 3: are very well set up and established to be able 68 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 3: to produce them safely, responsibly, and effectively, which is something 69 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 3: that we're huge advocates for that there is smart, responsible 70 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 3: regulation of this industry, of this marketplace, of these beverages 71 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 3: to make sure that we're clearly communicating to customers what 72 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: they are, they are only being served to adults twenty 73 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 3: one and up, and that there's clear regulation in place 74 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 3: promoting all of that, which is what the Ohio General 75 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: Assembly and Steve Huffman worked so tirelessly on, in my opinion, 76 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: a very great job with SB fifty six creating clear, 77 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: responsible regulation, and that's what changed when Governor DeWine chose 78 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 3: to line at in veto specifically the intoxicating beverage section 79 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: of SB fify. 80 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know there are some other craft brewers 81 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: that are leaning into this more heavily than others. Have 82 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: as well, and you know it makes me sad because 83 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: you know, you talk to people and are like, wow, 84 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: I really like this stuff. You mentioned how the craft 85 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: beer segment itself and craft beer is declining, and we're 86 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: seeing a rapid as you know, gen zers coming along 87 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: and they're just not drinking at the rates. Older millennials 88 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: and certainly Gen xers like myself and baby boomers who 89 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: are older, are consuming alcohol to the point where we've 90 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: had a I was just talking about this yesterday, Gallop, 91 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 2: a ninety year low. As far as alcohol consumption goes, 92 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 2: it's incredible. And yet I think that's also true because 93 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,679 Speaker 2: there are so many options in order to well self 94 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: medicate if you or make yourself feel better. I know 95 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: a lot of people that enjoy the THHC slash CBD 96 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: and fused beverages and go. You know what I don't 97 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 2: feel is maybe as bloated, I don't feel as I 98 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 2: feel different the next day. I feel actually feel better 99 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: than I do after drinking alcohol, and people are moving 100 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: towards that. Why not satisfy that sector because that's just true. 101 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 2: Do you have someone to tell us so heavily invested 102 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: in in graft. 103 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 3: Room, Yeah, the thing I'd like to point out there 104 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 3: that you mentioned is the beverage category as a whole 105 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 3: has faced or has realized a lot of diversity, and 106 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 3: that can be nontoxicating beverages to you name it. And 107 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 3: really it's the prevalence of choice that the younger generation, 108 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 3: to your point, has grown up with, and now that 109 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 3: they're of legal drinking age, they're continuing to experience thingsplore that. 110 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: But I'd also point out that everything that we're seeing 111 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 3: and learning, it's not only the younger generation that are 112 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 3: interested in the intoxicating HEMP beverages. It's really expanning all 113 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 3: demographics as everyone's just enjoying the benefits of these low 114 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 3: test beverages. It'd be really clear when I'm talking about 115 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: the benefits, we are not advertising or marketing these as 116 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 3: healthy alternatives to alcohol. We're speaking about anecdotes we receive 117 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 3: from doing consumer studies and panels and talking to those 118 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 3: that are participating this beverage category. And I think that's 119 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 3: a really important point that this entire industry is aware 120 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 3: and acknowledging of, and SB fifty six is also doing 121 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 3: a good job making sure that there's no unproven health 122 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: claims on packaging as an example, because it's important. Just 123 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 3: like alcohol is regulated, and I'm not trying to draw 124 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 3: a direct parallel or make these categories analogous, but there's 125 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 3: queer governing rules for alcohol and what you can and 126 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 3: can't do and say about benefits or lack there or 127 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 3: lack there of of known benefits and alcohol, and that 128 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 3: makes sense, and it is logical, and a lot of 129 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 3: regulation and guidelines can and should exist in the intoxicating 130 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 3: beverage category as well to make sure that we're communicating 131 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 3: responsibly and effectively to consumers. So when I'm talking about 132 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,159 Speaker 3: those who are choosing to drink less alcohol or abstain 133 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 3: from alcohol entirely, and maybe they are finding great use 134 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 3: in the intoxicating that beverage category, we're talking about anecdotes 135 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 3: and real consumer feedback on learning what they're looking for 136 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 3: and why they're looking for it, and that's really really different. 137 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 3: I want to make it really clear that I have 138 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 3: not seen any actors in the state of Ohio. Certainly 139 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 3: our intent to falsely advertiser represents these products, but at 140 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: the same time, we do know why the consumers are 141 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: turning to them. 142 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, and it makes a lot of sense, and 143 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 2: you know, I'm a big believer, propared owner of giving 144 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: the people what they want. And not only that, you know, 145 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: it's seemingly grossly unfair to yourself and other peer veyors, Adam, 146 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: that you invested a lot in that technology and infrastructure 147 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 2: to ramp this up, only to have that karpo pulled 148 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: off from und you has the Dwine administration Mike Dwine 149 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 2: himself addressed this to your satisfaction and yeah, I've talked 150 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: to lawmakers like Steve Hoffman and others, and there's seemingly 151 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: no answer for the line I'm as to why he 152 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 2: struck this down. Are you getting satisfactory responses from him? 153 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: Is what the reasoning was? 154 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: You know, we're still looking for it. And to be clear, 155 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 3: we do respect the governor's role and what we're advocating 156 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: for here is clarity and consistency going forward. And we 157 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 3: spent a lot of time working with the High General 158 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 3: Assembly and feel like they took all you know, proponents 159 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 3: and opponents of this issue in the consideration in crafting 160 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 3: SP fifty six. So yes, it was very disruptive and 161 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: shocking when the line Adam Vita specific just toe in 162 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 3: toxicating hemp beverages was introduced and signed all at once, 163 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: and so we're still to your point when we open 164 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 3: the segments that was right around the holidays, and we're 165 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 3: all as an industry collectively, and I'm talking about manufacturers 166 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 3: to distributors to retailers, all of us, which are the 167 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 3: three tiers of the system here to get this out 168 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 3: to market. We're still kind of gathering and understanding exactly 169 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 3: what happened and what can be done about it so 170 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 3: that all the investments that have been made can be 171 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 3: sustained going forward, and honestly, more importantly, in my opinion, 172 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 3: this is also about supporting Ohio business and making Ohio 173 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 3: business competitive with other state manufacturers or even national companies 174 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: who are finding great success with these beverages and states 175 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 3: that have created very smart, very responsible regulation. And I 176 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 3: think the General Assembly was doing a great job looking 177 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 3: at what other states have done, who were ahead of 178 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 3: the curve in this category than we were, and trying 179 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 3: to get to Ohio up the speed because there's other 180 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 3: commentary happening where federally. In November of twenty twenty six, 181 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 3: not only will intoxicating hemp no longer be allowed which 182 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: was passed as part of the reopening of the federal 183 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 3: governm in the Appropriations bill related to Partment of Agriculture, 184 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 3: but also CBD beverages and CBD products are also going 185 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 3: to be limited in November of twenty twenty six. And 186 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 3: that's an even larger category than the intoxicating hemp, CBD 187 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 3: being a cannabinoid from the same plant that is now 188 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: intoxicating and lots of people turn to for health benefits. 189 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 3: So really, what Ohio, in my opinion, should be doing 190 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 3: is using the smart responsible regulation from Sub sixty six 191 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 3: to allow Ohio business to continue to prosper. And then 192 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 3: in SB fifty six there was also a consideration acknowledging 193 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 3: that when the federal government provides more clarity prior to 194 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 3: November twenty twenty six, Ohio will look at that and 195 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 3: then adapt as necessary. Whereas right now we're in a 196 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 3: situation that the industry will have to shut down in 197 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 3: March if nothing changes, and that will leave Ohio businesses 198 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 3: behind other states who continue to regulate and support this marketplace. 199 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we want no one suggesting that companies 200 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 2: like yourself say there's no regulation. Of course, there should 201 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 2: be regulation. Health health departments oversee you. There's you know, 202 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: all sorts of regulation has involved in that industry as well. 203 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 2: Should be if you're infusing something with cannabinoids. Okay, I 204 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: get that, But to simply strike it and say we're 205 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: not doing this anymore is rather insane because you know, 206 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 2: one may say, well, are you getting you know it 207 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 2: is the wine getting lobby money from big alcohol? Well probably, 208 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: I don't know, because it's you know, if people aren't 209 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: consuming the product like they once did, and there's all 210 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: their alternatives out there. You mentioned non alcoholics Adam Bankovich 211 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: from ryan Geist that you know, that's another big sector 212 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: right there. Mocktails are huge right now. Nan alcohol beers 213 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: are fantastics. I've tried many of them, and it's certainly 214 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 2: not like the when Oduel's rolled out back in the day, 215 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: it was it didn't taste very good. Now they taste really, 216 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 2: really good, and so there's a lot of diversity in 217 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 2: those products that you offer as well. But simply banning 218 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 2: entire sector here doesn't seem to be a good idea 219 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 2: because people are going to people demand it, but they're 220 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 2: going to find a different alternative to this, which might 221 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: be even more dangerous. Which is is the scary part. 222 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: Is there a hope that legislatively speaking, this is not dead. 223 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely, We've been working almost every day, honestly, including over 224 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 3: the holiday break. We again being kind of this collective industry, 225 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 3: and not just craft brewers in Ohio specifically, but again 226 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,359 Speaker 3: the distributors and retailers also. So there's already a referendum 227 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 3: that's been submitted, and so that effort is ongoing. It's 228 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 3: been turned in in my understanding, already to Franklin Rose, 229 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 3: the Secretary of State and Devostate Attorney General, and so 230 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 3: that timeline is that they need to review the referendum 231 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 3: agic was submitted by January thirteenth, to approve the signatures 232 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,559 Speaker 3: and verify it. And if and when that happens on 233 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 3: the thirteenth, then the deadline becomes a date in March 234 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 3: to be named where two hundred and forty eight thousand, 235 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 3: ninety two signatures would be needed across the eight counties 236 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 3: of Ohio, and there's a certain number needed within forty 237 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 3: four of the eighty eight counties. And if that referendum 238 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 3: were to pass and be approved, then this issue would 239 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 3: actually end up on the November ballot and voters would 240 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,199 Speaker 3: decide what they want to happen. Separately from that, we're 241 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 3: also having conversations with the General Assembly as we did 242 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 3: as they were crafting SD fifty six. Lots of members 243 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 3: on all sides, both political parties, House and Senate have 244 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 3: been listening, which is really really encouraging, and I've been 245 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 3: very appreciative of all those efforts. So we're still talking 246 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 3: to them to see if there's any interest within the 247 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 3: General Assembly on a legislative override, but that would require 248 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 3: a two thirds fote approval in both the House and 249 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 3: the Senates, and those conversations aroundgoing, I'm not sure if 250 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 3: there's enough interest there or not. 251 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, as upset as I am, and even you more 252 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 2: so about this whole thing, I think there's hope. And 253 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 2: since you've got a lame duck governor, you've got to 254 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: do administration coming in, and I think they're going to 255 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 2: set the record straight because clearly there's a mindset in 256 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 2: Ohio that, hey, we've been using these products responsibly. People 257 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 2: clearly enjoy them, the market, the sectors growing. Why would 258 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 2: you try to take that away, especially if you're someone 259 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: who allegedly is pro small business in business growth, why 260 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 2: would you limit that it doesn't make much sense. Adam 261 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 2: Bakovich is the CEO of Guys, joining the show this 262 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: morning with Sloani here on seven hundred WLW. Kind of revisiting. 263 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 2: We'll get in the Minnesota stuff on this a little 264 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 2: bit different topic entirely obviously, but this is something that 265 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 2: happened over the holidays, and generally when stuff happens over 266 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: the holidays or a weekend, it's something that you know, 267 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 2: the establishment really doesn't want you to know about. They 268 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 2: kind of downplay it. It's a huge issue because so 269 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 2: many people enjoyed it and going, wait, what they're taking 270 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 2: this stuff away? 271 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 4: Why? 272 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 2: It's really good? And I'm a big proponent and you know, 273 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 2: if you're an adult, you should be able to choose 274 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 2: what it is that you put in your body, for sure, 275 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 2: and as long as there's regulation involved there and some 276 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: oversight to make sure you're not getting sick. I say, 277 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: have added, have ad all you want, because tastes indeed change. 278 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 2: Hopefully in the next year we have some solution to 279 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: this whole thing, Adam, because you know, to think of 280 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 2: how much money you yourself invested in. Other individuals I 281 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 2: talked to involved in the craft brew industry in Cincinnati. 282 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 2: You know, you don't want to see those investments simply 283 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 2: just evaporate as they have so far in the interim. 284 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 2: How you holding up? You're painting a picture saying, Wow, 285 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: you're the craft brew thinks kind of fading. We're kind 286 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 2: of leaning into this, And you know, maybe not for 287 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 2: you guys, because the scale in which you guys operated 288 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 2: much bigger than a lot of locals. But the craft 289 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 2: brew industry and know locally internationally, tends to be a 290 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 2: close knit group of people who are, yeah, competitors, but 291 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: at the same time you kind of pull for each other. 292 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 2: How are some of these smaller operations doing, do you know? 293 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've suked with lots of them that think it 294 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: impacts all of them differently. You're one hundred percent right. 295 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 3: It's a very cordial community within craft beer where we 296 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 3: have the ohiocreft Brewers Association meeting in a couple of 297 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 3: days of conferences coming up here not too long from now, 298 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 3: and this was a large topic last year. The Ohio 299 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 3: Preppers Association did a great job bringing in national experts 300 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 3: to talk with the ohiocraft brewers about it. And I 301 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 3: know there's some that are reeling from this more than others, 302 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 3: I think the answer for all of us is that 303 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 3: we need to find whatever can possibly work to just 304 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 3: make sure that we're staying competitive within the marketplace. And 305 00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 3: it's really hard to do when we spent a lot 306 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 3: of time here today talking about the diversity beverage. I 307 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 3: agree with you, non alcoholic beers have come a long way, 308 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 3: but the rallies, they're very expensive to make. So if 309 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 3: we're looking at the areas where craft brews can invest 310 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 3: and make some things safely and effectively and responsibly and 311 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 3: support our businesses that we've established, of craft beers declining. 312 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 3: Since we are not able to control the general trends 313 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 3: of the craft beer marketplace, there's very few things that 314 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 3: we concerned to and look to do. And this is 315 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 3: one of those emerging segments like the early days of 316 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 3: the craft beer boom, where a lot of Ohio craft 317 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 3: brewers are looking at this saying, hey, we can make that, 318 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 3: we can make it taste great, we can have it tested, 319 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 3: we can follow all the responsible labeling requirements. So if 320 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 3: it's not this, we're going to have to learn what 321 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 3: else we can do. And you're right, we ryn Gus 322 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 3: is a larger craft brewers in the state of Ohio. 323 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 3: But you're also right that we've spent a long time 324 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 3: developing this product and for the marketplace to go away 325 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 3: in Ohio is very disappointing, and we're really hoping that 326 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: something will change to allow it to exist as we 327 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 3: wait for the federal guidance. 328 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: How much you on your list as a CEO, your 329 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 2: plate is always overflowing, right, How high up on the 330 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 2: list is this for you? Of concerns? 331 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 3: Very high, very hid. It took us. We spent two 332 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 3: years learning about this marketplace and developing Fuzzy Bones, which 333 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: is our brand of in tox getting hemp beverages, and 334 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 3: we're really proud of the brand and we think we 335 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 3: did a great job with the liquids and all the 336 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 3: characteristics of that product. And so its been two years 337 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: on something and then for the marketplace to go away 338 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 3: overnight when we worked so hard to make sure that 339 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 3: the Ohio generally assembly was informed about the category and 340 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 3: writing regulations to allow and promote business to exist in 341 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 3: Ohio was disappointing. So you're right, there's lots of things 342 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 3: on my priority list, but this has been up top 343 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 3: the priority list for a long time and it's going 344 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 3: to remain there. 345 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 2: Well, this is something I strongly advocate for, Adam, and 346 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: keep me in the loop on it and how things 347 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: are going. Lawmakers on all the time, people like yourself. 348 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: It's senseless to think that just on the whims of 349 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 2: an individual, that this stuff all goes away and then 350 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 2: there's no accountability for the action whatsoever, no reason as 351 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 2: to why you would eliminate an entire growing sector that 352 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 2: clearly adult. OHI ones want. I wish all the best, Adam, 353 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 2: thanks for joining the show this morning. 354 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 3: Take care, Thank you to. 355 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 2: All the best. Anam Binkovic, CEO at RANG guys here 356 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 2: in Cincinnati, you know want you want people not to 357 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 2: pay attention to do it during the holidays. You know, 358 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 2: I'll be equally as hard on conservatives as I will 359 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 2: liberals in the sense that you know, look at holding 360 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 2: the feet of the fire that pure Vaul administration. For example, 361 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: when it comes to transparency and accountability. I will turn 362 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 2: that towards Governor DeWine here too. There's no answer. I've 363 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 2: talked to lawmakers and people like Adam that there's no 364 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 2: reason as to why Mike DeWine decided who's gonna kill 365 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 2: this entire sector doesn't after to answer to anybody in 366 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 2: that regard to and we still don't know why that 367 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 2: should trouble all of us listening. Quick time out, we'll pivot. 368 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 2: We'll get to the very latest. What's going on in Minnesota. 369 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 2: Me and you talking this one out as to what 370 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 2: you saw in your reaction coming up next year, and 371 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 2: something that I think was missed in this whole thing 372 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 2: and our fight over who's right and who's wrong in America, 373 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 2: I think we're missing the big picture on something. I'll 374 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 2: touch on that right after news update here on seven 375 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 2: hundred ww boy, Hell of Us starts at twenty twenty 376 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 2: sixth Huh. We have an eleven year old girl murdered 377 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: on New Year's Day. We take out Maduro in vade Venezuela, 378 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 2: and all our teams are over the New year here 379 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. And now this yesterday morning in Minneapolis, ice 380 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,959 Speaker 2: agent shot killed Renee Good. We know our name now, 381 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 2: Renee Good, thirty seven year old mother of one and 382 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 2: also US citizen, appears to be Caucasian and intentionally blocked 383 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 2: a group of officers. And big picture here is there 384 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 2: have been what seven officer involved shootings, two of them 385 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 2: fatal now involving ICE and other individuals. So yeah, I'm 386 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: sure you've seen the video by now. If you haven't, 387 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 2: it's about five six seconds maybe, And the person shooting 388 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: the video is up close obviously, And agent approaches a 389 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: c a SUV that's parked perpendicular to the street, somewhat 390 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 2: blocking traffic. Not sure if this person's trying to get out. 391 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: Some of the reports did say that this individual was, 392 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: you know, blocking traffic. Others say she's trying to turn 393 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 2: around or whatever. But nonetheless, you have a bunch of 394 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 2: ICE agents uniformed, labeled marked. These are marked, and these 395 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 2: aren't like undercover. You kind of know what's going on there. 396 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 2: And the driver, as an agent approaches the front of 397 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 2: the vehicle, says, hey, roll your window down. I need 398 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: to talk to you. She doesn't do that. He tries 399 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 2: to reach for the handle of the door from the outside, 400 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: and at this point then she accelerates, now out of 401 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 2: a high rate of speed as we've seen in the 402 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 2: past and other other circumstances, but attempts to in the 403 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 2: street's icy too, I believe, and tries to leave, but 404 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 2: there's another agent in front of them. This one pulls 405 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: their weapon out and fires a deadly shot. It looked 406 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 2: appears to be like one round through the driver's side 407 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 2: window that hits and strikes this woman. The suv speeds 408 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 2: forward because at that point I'm guess saying that is 409 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 2: good is no longer with us or some of the 410 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 2: throes of dying. The vehicle speeds forward, strikes a park 411 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 2: car short distance away. They render aid and she is 412 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 2: sadly she has died. Almost the instant though this this 413 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 2: awful news broke, we have two sharply different narratives that 414 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 2: didn't just take hold. I mean they really were pushed 415 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,919 Speaker 2: actively by politicians. And on the right you had Christy 416 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 2: Noman others labeling this as an issue of domestic terrorism, 417 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 2: and that's a stretch. Certainly, the ICE agent was acting 418 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 2: in self defense. That's pretty clear. Tactically speaking, it doesn't 419 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 2: appear as if this was a good decision to stand 420 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 2: in front of a car. We know Cincinnati and the 421 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: way we police hear now because of what happened with 422 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 2: Sam Debo some other cases, officers have said, hey, you know, 423 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: it's not a good idea to stand in the front 424 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 2: of a vehicle. But you know, we had a in 425 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 2: occurrence I think it was in Columbus, was it where 426 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 2: that individuals being stopped in a car backing of a 427 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 2: parking spot cop shot her, But you know, to label 428 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 2: them as a domestic terrorist, I don't know if I 429 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 2: agree with that. On the other side, on the left, 430 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 2: the progressive left, you have this calling him active murder. Well, 431 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 2: it's not murder if you're a Swan law enforcement officer. 432 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 2: And so the after the video came out, we had 433 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 2: these parallel rushes to judgment and everyone's just sting and 434 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: we still don't know the entire story, right. But my 435 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 2: perspective on this is what does this say? What does 436 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 2: it say about us here in Cincinnati. I can't speak 437 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 2: for what's happening in Minnesota. I can talk about the 438 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 2: fields here in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. And what troubles 439 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 2: me about this whole thing is not the shooting itself. 440 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 2: We'll get into that a minute. Is So this story 441 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 2: is an entirely different time zone. It's in Minnesota and 442 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 2: we're paying attention to it. But right now in Cincinnati, 443 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 2: as far as social media goes trends, people talking, this 444 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 2: is a bigger issue, a bigger story then the murder 445 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 2: of Quinnary Reid in Laurel Playground, the eleven year old 446 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 2: girl who was shot to death on New Year's Day? 447 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 2: And what does that say about us? Wait, wait a minute, 448 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: here's something that we haven't can have an impact on 449 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 2: because it's local government. It's local and it's it's fair 450 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 2: to ask, hey, where the cameras, what happened to the money? 451 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: And I did all that yesterday's show and been doing 452 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: that all week. What where's the accountability here? And hold 453 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: them to a standard. But even that topic is like, yeah, okay, yeah, 454 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 2: ke eleven year old kids shot. Mean, it's it's sad, 455 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 2: it's horrible. But because this involves conservatives and progressives, this 456 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 2: thing is just escalate. It's all anybody's talking about. And 457 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 2: that is you know, well, we can certainly second guess 458 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 2: our administration, we can certainly guess our elected officials. We 459 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 2: should hold them accountable for things, whether you agree or disagree. 460 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 2: But what does that say about us is as consumers 461 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 2: of the news that were more people are more worked 462 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 2: up about this than what happened on New Year's Day. 463 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 2: I think that's a reflection on all of us, all 464 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 2: of us, me, you, everybody. Relative to what's going on Minnesota, 465 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 2: our good old friend who died a long time ago, 466 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 2: common sense would come in early handy here, look, protest 467 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 2: all you want, okay, And I'm watching live shots now 468 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 2: on Fox and CNN of law enforcement and protesters clashing 469 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 2: in Minnesota. It's a bunch of armed uniform military looking 470 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 2: agents that are standing in front of people and trying 471 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 2: to balk in the street somewhat here. I don't see, 472 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 2: you know, punches being thrown. There's some pepper spray. I 473 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 2: think some chemical hrants going on for those across the line. 474 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 2: But by and large it's a peaceful demonstration. People protesting 475 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: with the f the police signs and all that. And 476 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 2: guess what, bring your bullhorns, bring your signs, yell be mad, 477 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 2: absolutely on thousand percent this and we should you know, 478 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 2: enforcing the border was a mandate by voters that helps 479 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 2: sweep Trump in no office. We need to know who's 480 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 2: coming here, we need to know why. I for a 481 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: long time thought building a wall. It is kind of 482 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 2: stupid unless it's around a major urban area to try 483 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 2: and block them off. Sure, but in the middle of nowhere, 484 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 2: a different story, But it doesn't mean you are against 485 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 2: enforcing our borders. We need to know who's coming in 486 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 2: this country. We need to separate the criminals from everyone else. 487 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,959 Speaker 2: That's a lot different than snatching people off the streets 488 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 2: in the aisles of home depot. Based on how you look, 489 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 2: that for many is a bridge too far. And if 490 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 2: that upsets you, we should be protesting that. 491 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 5: Right. 492 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 2: If you agree with it, then maybe you want to 493 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 2: protest and support them for that too. Yeah, when you 494 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 2: have people who came here as children and our teens 495 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 2: are adults, they they don't deserve that kind of treatment. 496 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 2: That's what upsetting me. It's a fundamental American right. But 497 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 2: when you have an armed identifiable agent or a police 498 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 2: officer or a sheriff's deputy issuing a command saying hey, stop, 499 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 2: I need to talk to you, roll your window down, 500 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 2: you stop and up until well, at least points you 501 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 2: hear this. Countless cases where well they got shot because 502 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 2: they're black. Right back to well Minnesota again, Rodney King 503 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 2: and others because they're black. Well, okay, you know we've 504 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 2: had the we had this shooting white woman, we had 505 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 2: the shooting of figures for some of the lender, the 506 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 2: lender guy, you know, Carl Linder's offspring who was shot. 507 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 2: We had shootings in Boone County. We have all so 508 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 2: you know the narrative about well it's because well it's 509 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 2: not because they're black. It's because they're doing something they 510 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 2: shouldn't be doing. And it doesn't matter if you think 511 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 2: you're right. Hell, it doesn't matter if a judge says 512 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: you're completely right, that doesn't matter at that moment in time. 513 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 2: And you may be right, but you fight that in 514 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 2: court alive, with an attorney or someone representing you. You 515 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 2: certainly don't when someone ann officer and a market officer says, hey, 516 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 2: I got to talk to you. Stop what you're doing. 517 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 2: That is not the time to accelerate your vehicle. And 518 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 2: here's the memo to progressives on this. The self absorption 519 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 2: and the righteous indignation can get you killed. And it's 520 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 2: not just progresses. If you think that way, that you 521 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 2: can do whatever you want with impunity. And we see 522 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 2: countless cases where people act the fool because they have 523 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,360 Speaker 2: I know my rights. You know, when when an officer's 524 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 2: you disobey a lawful command and you're blocking the street, 525 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 2: I'm not going to say, you get what's coming to you, 526 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 2: but you open the door for that to occur. You 527 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 2: have a hand in this. You're not completely innocent. And 528 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 2: do we live in an age where everyone thinks that 529 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 2: they are their own entity, they're their own island. No 530 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,719 Speaker 2: one can touch me, no one can disrespect me, or 531 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 2: regardless of what authority or the authority you don't you 532 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 2: know you can. You can't do what you want to 533 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 2: you gotta. I can disrespect you, but you can't disrespect me. 534 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 2: That's simply the culture in America today. Or you think 535 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: you can do what you want with impunity, and you 536 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: clearly you can. And if you're i know, a mega 537 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 2: conservative for example, and you're not in your head going amen, yeah, yeah, yeah, 538 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 2: Well guess what this also applied to Ashley Babbitt, didn't it? 539 00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 6: Wait? 540 00:26:59,200 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 7: What? 541 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 4: Well? 542 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 2: No, No, that's different. It's not different. You're in the 543 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,640 Speaker 2: United States Capitol on J six and there's a bunch 544 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 2: of people trying to break down a door, or on 545 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 2: the other side, are a handful against a big angry mob. 546 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 2: By the way, a handful of law enforcement officers. Whether 547 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 2: they're capital to police or ice agents, it doesn't matter. 548 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 2: They're law and force for on law enforcement officers, and 549 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 2: it's pretty clear they have their weapons out. You smash 550 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,919 Speaker 2: through the window and you look through and say, hey, 551 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 2: there's a guy with a gun pointing it at me. 552 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 2: I'm going to jump through this window. What the hell 553 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 2: do you think was gonna happen? So this isn't about 554 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 2: conservative ideology progressive ideo. This is about damn common sense 555 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 2: is what this is. When the man has a gun 556 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 2: and he's uniformed and he says, hey, I need to 557 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 2: talk to you, stop, that's the time to take your 558 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 2: foot off the gas. Protest all you want. There's a 559 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 2: lot of things we should be protesting. There's this question 560 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 2: about it. Things are off the rails. But the idea 561 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 2: here is that, you know, now, people have already made 562 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 2: their minds up based on five seconds of video, and 563 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 2: that's where we are right now. We've completely lost any 564 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 2: context or common sense whatsoever. Your thoughts A five point 565 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,479 Speaker 2: three seven four nine, seven thousand and eight The Big 566 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 2: One on talkback iHeartRadio app also coming up at ten 567 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 2: oh seven this morning, will continue the topic.

They advise local jurisdictions on 571 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 2: while things like this, for example, a lot of what 572 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 2: we'll call what is kind of spin control, if you 573 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 2: need call it that, and just advise them on how 574 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 2: to handle things because if you're a small jurisdiction and 575 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 2: you get jammed up with what's going on Minnesota, you 576 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 2: kind of need some guidance on that. That's what they do. 577 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 2: Not to be labor that point, but this is a 578 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 2: guy who is an expert in use of force, and 579 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: I'm curious to know what his analysis is of what 580 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,479 Speaker 2: he saw in Minnesota. That's coming up at two ten 581 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 2: of six in the meantime to Xenia and Jeff on 582 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 2: the Scott Slung Show Morning, how are you and Scott? 583 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 4: All good logical points there, But you know you're talking 584 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 4: too much common sense yourself, right right. 585 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 3: You know. 586 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 4: The thing is is if you if you watch YouTube, 587 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,240 Speaker 4: there's plenty of videos out there too about people. You know, hey, 588 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 4: if you get pulled over by the cops, this is 589 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 4: what you can and cannot do. You know, don't open 590 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 4: your windows, don't do this, show them your license through 591 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 4: the window, and this and that and as you just stated. 592 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 4: You know, if you put yourself in the position that 593 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 4: you can possibly be determined to be a threat to somebody, 594 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 4: that's all it is. That's all it comes down to. 595 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 4: And the cops aren't gonna hesitate because they don't know 596 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 4: whether you might be some psychotic, they don't know what 597 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 4: you might be a normal human being. But if you 598 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 4: put yourself in that position, be ready for the consequences. 599 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 4: And people just don't seem to think that, you know 600 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 4: that they they are impunity, they have impunity, and they 601 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 4: don't it doesn't matter what they do that they're they're 602 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 4: gonna be okay with it. 603 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's putting yourself in that situation. It's just 604 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 2: it's the righteous indignation culture that you think you know 605 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 2: without question and what I believe is the absolute, unmigated truth. 606 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 2: And you have no right to tell me what to do. Well, 607 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 2: you know, I don't know why you think that way 608 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 2: or think it doesn't apply to you, but it does. 609 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 2: And again, you can be one hundred percent of the right. 610 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 2: That's up to a judge and a jury to decide 611 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 2: at a later date if you're in the right or 612 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: the wrong. But you know, you need to be alive 613 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 2: to fight for that too. You know. It's the thing 614 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 2: that somehow I'm this, you know, I'm gonna I know 615 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 2: this woman was thinking being the savior to the community. Okay, good. 616 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: You can empathize with them for sure, and advocate for them, 617 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 2: as I think she was. But you know, when when 618 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 2: there's a simple command to stop and you don't do that, 619 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 2: it doesn't mean anything at that point. Just stop what 620 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 2: you're doing. It's not a black, white male, female gay 621 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: straight issue applies to everybody exactly. 622 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 4: I had an instance where I'd go down and help 623 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 4: a friend because he'd gotten pulled over. And I go 624 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 4: down there and the cop said, hey, who are you? 625 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 4: And I said, well, you guys called me to come 626 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 4: down here. 627 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 2: Says you got any ID on you? 628 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 4: Right, and I gave it to him and the cops 629 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 4: the other one said run it, you know, and I'm 630 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 4: staying and they're looking at this guy said, wait a minute, 631 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 4: I came down here to take this guy's car because 632 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 4: you basically nabbed him for a duy or whatever, and 633 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 4: you and you said run it, and right that second, 634 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 4: you know, I'm slaying big time. But I didn't say 635 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 4: anything because I know, I know that. If I want 636 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 4: to do anything about it, well, I go talk to 637 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 4: the supervisor, I go do something like that. But the 638 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,479 Speaker 4: fact that that basically that they do that, you know, 639 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 4: to somebody, has nothing to do with it. It basically 640 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 4: had basically coming down here to help a friend. But 641 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 4: they figure birds of a feather is what they're looking at. 642 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 4: I understand that too. I understand that too. But you know, 643 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 4: that's simple interest. I could have I could have gone 644 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 4: nuts on him, but I didn't, you know, and got 645 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 4: a hand. 646 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 2: I also get maybe this woman panicked too. There's an 647 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 2: element there as well, like I wait a minute, all 648 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 2: of a sudden, this got real. And but but again, 649 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 2: you have to you have to have that situational awareness 650 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 2: of going, okay, I probably should stop this vehicle. And I, 651 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 2: you know, I don't know why you would pull forward 652 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 2: if someone is standing you wouldn't do that. If a 653 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 2: kid or maybe one of the people in the community 654 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 2: were there who you're trying to help, were standing in 655 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 2: front of you'd probably give them, hey, get out of 656 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 2: the way thing. But instead decided to stay hit the gas. 657 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 2: And now it's a fatal and it's you know, it's 658 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 2: an ever evolving. So, but there's a there's a consistency 659 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 2: here to this whole thing, and that is it's not 660 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what you look like. And that's what 661 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 2: I hated about the whole narrative the first time we 662 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 2: did this in Minnesota. It's about your actions, about what 663 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 2: you're doing when it evolves a officer involved stop. And 664 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 2: I'll ask Dan about this. Come up, Dan Hills. I 665 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 2: think it bears okay. So if you're a I don't know, 666 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 2: you're since a police offer you haml Kant, a sheriff's deputy, 667 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 2: you're trained in tactics when it comes to traffic. These 668 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 2: are immigration agents, you know. Did they get the same 669 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 2: level of a training as a beat cop and how 670 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 2: to handle the situation like that? Because we talked about 671 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 2: you look at it, go wow, that's kind of bad 672 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 2: tactically that you're standing in front of a vehicle that's running. Okay, 673 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 2: But were these guys have been trained for things like this? 674 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 2: And I think that's something else that's missed here too 675 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 2: in this effort to Villa and I, every single ICE 676 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 2: agent that's out there and lined up is man, what 677 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 2: are you doing? Why are you doing this? 678 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 4: Well? 679 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 2: Because you swore an oath. Okay, now it doesn't allow 680 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 2: you to break the law. You know, you're allowed to 681 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 2: refuse legal orders. And look at the whole Clark thing, right, 682 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 2: and you're taught that, But that seemed to be a 683 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 2: reasonable order. Border patrols GA like, Okay, we're gonna stop, 684 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 2: and this person's blocking traffic and we're trying to do 685 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 2: our jobs. And now I got to find out why 686 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 2: she's doing this, and hold on, stop, I gotta talk 687 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 2: to you. You know, it's not like these guys, I 688 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 2: think almost all of them, if not every one of them, 689 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 2: Like you know, I just I want the paycheck and 690 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 2: the job, and I don't make the policies. I go 691 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 2: where I'm told. I mean, we all have jobs, we 692 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 2: all report to someone. You go where you're kicked. That's true. 693 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 2: Whether you're a radio talk show host, whether you work 694 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 2: in a fifth third bank, whether you're I work at 695 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 2: a grocery store, or whether you're an ice agent or 696 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 2: police officer. Their orders. You may have disagree with them, 697 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 2: but you got to pair amount. It's kind of like 698 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 2: in the back of the day when I'm obviously I 699 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 2: was in a on for this, but you know, the 700 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 2: stories about soldiers coming back from Vietnam and people attacking them. 701 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 2: What they're just fronding commands. It's like you're a baby killer. 702 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 2: You're I didn't sign up for this. You want to 703 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 2: be mad, be mad at Kennedy, be mad at LBJ, 704 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,240 Speaker 2: be mad at Nixon. I'm just I'm just a pawn. 705 00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 2: Five and three seven four nine, seven eight hundred, the 706 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 2: Big One to Bridget and Peebles this morning, how are you? 707 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 8: I am good? 708 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 5: And I just want to say I'm a longtime listener 709 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 5: of yours and first time caller, and I couldn't agree 710 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 5: with you more. I just don't understand what people are 711 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 5: thinking anymore. I mean, they just think they can do 712 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,560 Speaker 5: whatever they want, and it really makes you not want 713 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 5: to go out in public. I mean, at least for me, 714 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 5: I don't want to go down to Cincinnati and you know, 715 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 5: get confronted by someone, and I'm just I don't understand it. 716 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 8: I mean, I'm glad I live more out in a 717 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 8: rural area that we don't have to put up with 718 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 8: that as much. But I feel like I was looking 719 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 8: at social media today Facebook and I felt like there 720 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 8: was a post from Channel nine News about the girl 721 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 8: and I've seen it, and I just can't believe that 722 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 8: there's not more outrage about this. 723 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 5: I mean, people comment about snow and weather in Cincinnati 724 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,280 Speaker 5: more than they have commented. 725 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 2: About this, I think, And let me matter reject a second, 726 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 2: Bridget And you know, I kind of understand. What I 727 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 2: did is that you're one hundred percent right about that 728 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 2: is what does that say about us? And that's me, 729 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 2: it's you, it's everybody listening that we're more polarized and upset. 730 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 2: And look how quickly people jump to one side or 731 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 2: the other, and there's no room for going well, okay, 732 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 2: the facts aren't in all the way yet on what's 733 00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 2: right or wrong. But you have the left and the other. 734 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 2: You have conservatives, you have progressives, and they're entrenched to write. 735 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 2: I mean, look, within seconds of the story breaking, and 736 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 2: everyone in since in the air area is talking about 737 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 2: this story more than what happened on New Year's Day 738 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 2: with that eleven year old girl in the park, and 739 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,680 Speaker 2: that's a reflection on us. 740 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't understand it.

I usually just kind 742 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,760 Speaker 5: of creep on social media, but I just said, everybody 743 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 5: needs to go back and listen to your interview with 744 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 5: the city council lady, and there was just no answer. 745 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 8: I mean, I understand she's looking forward and she's. 746 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 9: Trying to get she doesn't have answers. 747 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,319 Speaker 5: The right Yeah, I mean it was I felt like 748 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 5: people need to go and listen to that interview, and 749 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 5: they really need to, you know, I don't know. I'm 750 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 5: like I said, I'm glad I live in Peeble's, Ohio. 751 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 10: Small community, great community. 752 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 9: So I work where I work. 753 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 8: They have their Christmas parties down in Cincinnati. 754 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 5: Didn't go this year. 755 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 3: Not going. 756 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not good because they need the business down there. 757 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 2: I I me and myself, I'm not you know, I'm 758 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 2: not too worried about it.

You just don't know. But I 762 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 2: think it's reflective our society that. I mean, we just 763 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,880 Speaker 2: had a story here where a woman had a Maga 764 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 2: Girl license plate, Maga Girl license plates, and someone shot 765 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 2: at her. You know, I think that's two ways. Is 766 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 2: number one, is I wouldn't put anything political on my vehicle, 767 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 2: on my Bristol vehicle, how vanity plates anything like that. 768 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,800 Speaker 2: People are crazy, but we're just so entrenched in political 769 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 2: ideology and this is just another example of it. Hey, Bridge, 770 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 2: thanks for listening. I appreciate you. Have a great day. 771 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 2: You thanks all the best.

For that reason, 811 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 10: I will say this. 812 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 2: I was gonna say Happy New Year, but it doesn't 813 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,440 Speaker 2: fit because we've had a This has been a hell 814 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 2: of a start to twenty twenty stations, when we had 815 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,960 Speaker 2: eleven year old girl murdered on New Year's Day at 816 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,000 Speaker 2: a park, we had the invasion of Venezuela. All of 817 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 2: our teams in Cincinnata are oh for the new year, 818 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 2: and now this I demand a restart of twenty twenty six. 819 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:42,919 Speaker 10: I'll second your motion. 820 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 2: It's been awful. So after the shooting, obviously you get 821 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 2: crowds gathering. They're gathering and protesting today. So far, I 822 00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 2: don't see too much of violence here towards police, other 823 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:58,760 Speaker 2: than maybe some snowballs. But you have federal agents appearing 824 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,479 Speaker 2: to respond by releasing chemical irritans around the crowds right now, 825 00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:05,279 Speaker 2: and you know there's you look at this whole thing 826 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,160 Speaker 2: and it's played out time and time again. Dan, there's 827 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,360 Speaker 2: just no winners in this. You know, everyone's taking signes 828 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 2: and this as I've been talking about this morning, and 829 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 2: yet certainly the neighbors lose, the protesters lose, the cops lose, 830 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 2: the ice agents lose, the country loses. 831 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 10: This is it's just horrible, it is, you Know'slanny. I 832 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 10: appreciate you having me on, but you know I have 833 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 10: to go in and tell your audience than the ones 834 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 10: that you know this already, that I'm coming in pretty biased, right. 835 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 10: I represent h plolice officers and you know did for 836 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 10: years as the union president and still do with frontline advisors. 837 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 10: With all that said, I do want to speak to 838 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 10: a greater audience, one that one that doesn't necessarily see 839 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,919 Speaker 10: everything in the same lens that that I do. And 840 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 10: you know, I do understand why people look at a 841 00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 10: shooting like that involving the vehicle and say why and 842 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 10: and so for that part, I will say that, you know, 843 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 10: I don't like to see the tactical approach of anybody 844 00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 10: being in front of a vehicle one that is you know, 845 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,399 Speaker 10: obviously in drive. Right. With that said, though too, that 846 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 10: your bad tech approach does not remove you from the 847 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:26,320 Speaker 10: right to defend when you defend yourself and defend yourself, 848 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,280 Speaker 10: as the courts have laid out, and that is about 849 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 10: the perception at the time, the perception that you have 850 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 10: at the time, and that a reasonable auser would do 851 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 10: the same thing. It doesn't mean that every officer would 852 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,480 Speaker 10: do the same thing. It means that a reasonable auser 853 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 10: would do the same thing. 854 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this has elements of uh not directed. But 855 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 2: but this is like Ray to Bow's rate Tensing Sam 856 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 2: to Bow's over in that occurrence, and you are on 857 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 2: the job then and you know, we well remember how 858 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 2: horrible that was. Is Officer Tensing is trying to stop 859 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 2: the BOS for a front flight violation, which then at 860 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 2: the time Joe Dieters now Supreme Court to set up 861 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 2: his BS to BS. It's it's a chicken bleep stops. 862 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,359 Speaker 2: I think the words that he used, and we since 863 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 2: change that with front plate because I think he's right 864 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,040 Speaker 2: in that regard too. I mean, it seems cheap, as 865 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,320 Speaker 2: there's plenty of people with expensive cars, maybe at Kenwoock 866 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 2: Country Club for example, where they don't have front plates 867 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,319 Speaker 2: because it's a you know, eighty thousand dollars car. They're 868 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 2: not the ones getting pulled over usually, But in that 869 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 2: regard not to get down a rabbit hole or get 870 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 2: out in the weeds on this thing, I look at 871 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 2: it and go, yeah, you know you're reaching in a 872 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 2: car to try and stop it, and he pulls off 873 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 2: and Tensing it no choice but to shoot. And we've 874 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 2: changed tactics since then. I guess the big question Dan 875 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 2: would be street cops know that, but our ice agents 876 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 2: trained as street. 877 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 10: Cops are, well, you you went down a rabbit hole. 878 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:44,960 Speaker 10: I'm going to sit down there with you. I've talked 879 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 10: about I've talked about ten ten on the radio. I 880 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,360 Speaker 10: have a very strong belief that ten Ting did not 881 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 10: decide to shoot to as Joeaters was putting down there 882 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 10: because he's a racist, or he wanted to kill, or 883 00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 10: be because he wanted to save his wife. I thank 884 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 10: Tenking shot because of a muscle reflex. I think it 885 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,400 Speaker 10: was an accidental shooting. And I'm went over that. There's 886 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 10: a fourth science experts out there and stuff that I'll 887 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:12,719 Speaker 10: talk about the timing with that, the one that would 888 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,040 Speaker 10: actually match this better. 889 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 6: Solony. 890 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,719 Speaker 10: If you remember, I think the trial just happened last 891 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,840 Speaker 10: year is in twenty twenty five. So not that long ago. 892 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 10: Is the blended township? Am I saying that? Right? Up 893 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 10: and up by Columbus the lady was a leisure or whatever. 894 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 10: That case and it went to a trial is very 895 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 10: similar to this. And that's another one where people saw 896 00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 10: somebody out in front of a car, and I guess 897 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,319 Speaker 10: again have the questions about that, And those are fair 898 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,760 Speaker 10: questions because I do not believe those were good, strong 899 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:51,880 Speaker 10: tactical approaches. But again, just because your technical approach isn't 900 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 10: the best, that doesn't stop you. As far as caseball 901 00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,399 Speaker 10: is considered, from the right to defend yourself, and when 902 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,399 Speaker 10: you're holding a gun, and when you're already pointing a gun, 903 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 10: your natural order of reflex almost is then to use 904 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 10: that gun to defend yourself. And so again, the people 905 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,239 Speaker 10: who are going to be question this, they're going to say, well, 906 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,319 Speaker 10: why didn't he move out of the way? And you know, 907 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,240 Speaker 10: could moving out of the way been a good answer? 908 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 10: It could have been? Could, but could was his reflex 909 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 10: is at that time something that would be reasonable? And 910 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 10: I think that's what we're going to end up finding them. 911 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 10: I hope to God it through a trial or whatever. 912 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,560 Speaker 10: I hope this political divide doesn't create an officer being 913 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:39,879 Speaker 10: charged for something that quite clearly was the self defense move. 914 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,319 Speaker 10: One that we can argue about when we can talk 915 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,719 Speaker 10: about tactics about and all that stuff. But as far 916 00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:50,400 Speaker 10: as could you ever see a jury beyond a reasonable 917 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 10: doubt saying that this person that you know want to 918 00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,240 Speaker 10: work that day with the intention of just killing somebody. 919 00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 2: But that's a sad thing the case, Dan, that's a 920 00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 2: sad narrative I think from you know, from aggressives, for example, 921 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,320 Speaker 2: is that these guys are bloodthirsty and want to go 922 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 2: out there and shoot as many people. You know, you're sworn. 923 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 2: You took a sworn oath, right, And this is kind 924 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,720 Speaker 2: of like the parallel to me and I mentioned earlier. 925 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,840 Speaker 2: The parallel is like when soldiers came home from the 926 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 2: Vietnam War and they're spit on and cursed. They're you know, 927 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,760 Speaker 2: they're they're they are under orders, they're in her command 928 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,719 Speaker 2: to do that. Now, a lot we're drafted. You don't 929 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 2: have a draft in this case with police officers. You 930 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 2: do this voluntarily. But you know when you when you 931 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 2: joined the force, however many years ago or whatever's you 932 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 2: signed up for perhaps you know this, this wasn't seen 933 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 2: as something that's going to happen. You never know what's 934 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,799 Speaker 2: going to happen tomorrow or the next minute on, and 935 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 2: so you're following commands. You're following orders. Now, whether they're 936 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,760 Speaker 2: lawful orders or not, it seems like a lawful command 937 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,799 Speaker 2: to go out whatever they're asking this woman to do. 938 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 2: The other reasonable side of this thing is is looking 939 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 2: at it going, well, you know, the idea that these 940 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,560 Speaker 2: cops are out there to just hammer down on citizens 941 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 2: is silly in itself. No one's going to sign up 942 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,279 Speaker 2: for that, and certainly it's not going to pass muster. 943 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,760 Speaker 2: But the problem is at the top. If you disagree 944 00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,680 Speaker 2: with the policies and how they're being enforced, you have 945 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 2: every right to protest that. But when when an armed 946 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 2: agent tells you to stop what you're doing, roll your 947 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 2: window down, obey a command, that's not the time to 948 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 2: hit the accelerator. 949 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 10: It sure isn't. And that's what you know. I'm I 950 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,960 Speaker 10: looked at the shooting, and like I said, I come 951 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 10: in knowing that and a lot of stuff and a 952 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,960 Speaker 10: lot of history, and I believe in my heart of 953 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 10: heart that that that's not going to be prosecuted. Because 954 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,640 Speaker 10: it is prosecuted, the alser to be found not guilty. 955 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,799 Speaker 10: He has a right to defend himself. So just to 956 00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:34,239 Speaker 10: move beyond that for Minionian talk about the deeper politics 957 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,839 Speaker 10: that's going on here and how dangerous it is that 958 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,360 Speaker 10: you have a mayor and a governor, you know, wanting 959 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,840 Speaker 10: to jump out ahead of this without even any time, 960 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 10: uh to to to really take a deep look at it, 961 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,839 Speaker 10: and want to call this this this I think they've 962 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 10: even used the word murder or something of that sort. 963 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 10: And there they are setting the stage for something that 964 00:46:55,560 --> 00:47:00,600 Speaker 10: you know is approaching, you know, almost civil ar type 965 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:04,000 Speaker 10: of of a reaction where you're you're splitting the right 966 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,319 Speaker 10: and the left up there to the point where we 967 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:08,880 Speaker 10: can't even have reasonable conversations. 968 00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 2: We can't. 969 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,799 Speaker 10: I come in, I come in with bias that I'm 970 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 10: I'm conservative, yes, and I am I am pro law enforcement, 971 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:18,240 Speaker 10: and and of course I'm all for cost defendent themselves. 972 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 10: But I'll have a reasonable conversation with somebody about this. 973 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 10: I'm not going to come on screaming and using the 974 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 10: F bomb and all this stuff like this mayor did 975 00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 10: we just were losing civil discourse, and that's questions. 976 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,799 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, on the right calling this this woman 977 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,120 Speaker 2: a domestic terrorist, is that that's also insane. I mean, 978 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,359 Speaker 2: it's probably a right. I mean, that's just that's just fair. 979 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:41,320 Speaker 2: But but look at I was pointing this out earlier, 980 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 2: is that the instant this broke, we went into two 981 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 2: entirely different narratives on this before all the facts came out, 982 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,520 Speaker 2: by the way, and we didn't know what the timeline was, 983 00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,359 Speaker 2: and we still don't know all the facts of this thing, 984 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 2: but politicians on both sides actively push their agenda. We 985 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 2: go to demerica, domestic terraces on the right, murders on 986 00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 2: the left, and and we just it just we don't 987 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:03,359 Speaker 2: even know the whole story. And as I pointed out, 988 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 2: and this comes back to you as a longtime CPD officer, 989 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 2: Dan Hills, what does it say about us here in Cincinnati. 990 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 2: I can't speak for Minnesota or any other state, but Ohio, 991 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 2: Kentucky and Indiana. What does it say about us here? 992 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 2: The biggest story of the week so far is this. 993 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 2: It's exploding all over the city. People are debating and 994 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,479 Speaker 2: discussing it. Something that happened in a different time zone, 995 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,000 Speaker 2: is bigger than the issue. When we talk about justice 996 00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:27,960 Speaker 2: for Quinary Reid, who was murdered on New Year's Day 997 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,399 Speaker 2: at a park, that story was like wow, everyone's like, yeah, okay, 998 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 2: another shot, another eleven year old, this park, Okay, great, 999 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 2: put the cameras up, debate at whatever. But this story 1000 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,480 Speaker 2: is more gripping than that. What does that say about us? 1001 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,640 Speaker 10: Yeah, no, it's it's a really good point you're making 1002 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,640 Speaker 10: when we have we have an eleven year old that 1003 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,799 Speaker 10: is completely innocent, and this isn't like this is the 1004 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 10: first time it's happened. By God, it happened in almost 1005 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:57,160 Speaker 10: in the exact same spot. Cincinnati needs to really come 1006 00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 10: to grist of what is going on culturally, the criminal 1007 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,240 Speaker 10: justice system. All these things come together and it isn't working. 1008 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 10: Something is really really broken bad. When we can kind 1009 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:11,799 Speaker 10: of shrug off the death of eleven year old, like 1010 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,479 Speaker 10: you said, go and then now we're off worrying about 1011 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 10: something in some other state, or what we're actually worrying 1012 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:20,959 Speaker 10: about is like you heading off to our right left camp, 1013 00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,879 Speaker 10: so everybody just once can't wait to head off into 1014 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,720 Speaker 10: their own camp instead of having a discussion. And Sonny, 1015 00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,480 Speaker 10: you said it too. About this shooting. We don't know 1016 00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 10: all the facts. I could sit here and tell you, Look, 1017 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,480 Speaker 10: I'm biased, I'm pro police, and I have a lot 1018 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,840 Speaker 10: of experience in these type of cases, and I believe 1019 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:43,839 Speaker 10: that the outre will be found just in what he did. 1020 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,840 Speaker 10: But that doesn't mean that there isn't still more to 1021 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,560 Speaker 10: know about this thing. Before you say anything for sure, 1022 00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:53,400 Speaker 10: before you decide whether you're would you just say that 1023 00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:57,879 Speaker 10: the two camps are murder or domestic care or whatever camp, 1024 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,239 Speaker 10: I think we should all slow down a little bit. 1025 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,759 Speaker 10: I think we should flow down a lot and say, look, 1026 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 10: something awful happened. There was a loss of life. I 1027 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,919 Speaker 10: think we're going to find that there was a lot 1028 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 10: of things that came up to this uh uh that 1029 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,839 Speaker 10: that we need to look at too, these demonstrators, how 1030 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,880 Speaker 10: we're reacting to these demonstrators, ices and all that stuff. 1031 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,560 Speaker 10: Because we want to prevent loss of life, we all 1032 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 10: should agree on that and then then we can move 1033 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,239 Speaker 10: on from there. But if all we do is head 1034 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,400 Speaker 10: off to those two camps like you talk about, screaming 1035 00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:34,240 Speaker 10: at each other, I'm really really worried about America and 1036 00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 10: and and and to do that little bounce back like 1037 00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,840 Speaker 10: you said, I'm worried about I'm worried about our community 1038 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,360 Speaker 10: that we still haven't even really come to griss of 1039 00:50:42,480 --> 00:50:43,840 Speaker 10: what just what just happened to? 1040 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, second eleven year old murdered in Laurel Park in 1041 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,719 Speaker 2: two and a half years and people just shrug and go, Okay, well, 1042 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,719 Speaker 2: what's what's for dinner? And we're all wor at word 1043 00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 2: about Minnesota. Yeah, back when you were on it, you know, 1044 00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,720 Speaker 2: we had the whole I mentioned the police involve shootings 1045 00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,080 Speaker 2: here and how tactically we change things on the street saying, hey, 1046 00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,239 Speaker 2: you know, let's let's not stand in the front part 1047 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,919 Speaker 2: of a vehicle that's running right and kind of maybe 1048 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,320 Speaker 2: move to the side. We've seen shootings. You mentioned one Columbus. 1049 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:08,879 Speaker 2: That was another one where the woman's trying to back 1050 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 2: up out of a parking spot, or the person's backing 1051 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 2: up and officer shoots them. And I get that. I 1052 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,920 Speaker 2: just wonder if there's a disconnect between, you know, not 1053 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 2: to make this all about tactics, but the kind of 1054 00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 2: training that ice agents were getting relative to these stops. 1055 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,759 Speaker 2: You guys train all the time, and I just don't 1056 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,359 Speaker 2: I don't know, and maybe you do or don't what 1057 00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,400 Speaker 2: level of train they receive when it comes to traffic 1058 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,799 Speaker 2: stops like this, because essentially you've got immigration agents that 1059 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,879 Speaker 2: are handling this. This was a traffic stop. I don't 1060 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,440 Speaker 2: know what the level of training there is with those guys, 1061 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,719 Speaker 2: and you know, I think that also clouds things too. 1062 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,359 Speaker 10: It'd be a guest, but I think you're you're going 1063 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 10: down the right day. Up. I think it's it's likely 1064 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:48,359 Speaker 10: that they haven't had trained slash experience in these type 1065 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,040 Speaker 10: of things, because, yeah, I see this, I see this 1066 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 10: crazy uh demonstrator not to talk to all of the dead, 1067 00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 10: but out there, you know, what are you doing moving 1068 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,360 Speaker 10: her car around when she's dealing with a bunch of 1069 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,800 Speaker 10: armed agents. It doesn't seem very balanced to me. Slowly, 1070 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,759 Speaker 10: I'm up on the sidewalk, I'm standing behind the st here. 1071 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:07,719 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. 1072 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,759 Speaker 10: There's only so much a human being can do to 1073 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,880 Speaker 10: affect a car. If if they wanted the stopper or 1074 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,160 Speaker 10: I would use a vehicle or something to stop her 1075 00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,879 Speaker 10: if they if they have charges that are that high 1076 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 10: a level that they want to do. Other than that, 1077 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,360 Speaker 10: I mean, you know, I'm giving my commands from somewhere say. 1078 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,480 Speaker 2: The story here is it? And again it may change, 1079 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:33,280 Speaker 2: it may not who knows, but that she was blocking 1080 00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 2: traffic and she's trying to pull away and move her 1081 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:39,160 Speaker 2: You know, the self absorption and righteous indignation can get 1082 00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:42,400 Speaker 2: you killed. And that's true. Whether it's it's this this woman, 1083 00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 2: this thirty seven year old Renee Good in Minnesota, whether 1084 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,680 Speaker 2: it's uh, you can you can? You know, look at 1085 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 2: the Sam Debos thing, look at the look at the 1086 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:56,080 Speaker 2: shooting of of Linder. Right, we had shootings that you know, 1087 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,440 Speaker 2: you start doing in pointing weapon and whether it's a 1088 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:01,280 Speaker 2: car or a gun at a and an armed officer, 1089 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,359 Speaker 2: bad things are going to happen to you as well. 1090 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:06,719 Speaker 2: They should. This was entirely preventable. But just roll the 1091 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,440 Speaker 2: window down and talk to the agent. I don't understand 1092 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,080 Speaker 2: the pulling away and why we're defending that. 1093 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,160 Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know what business it is now that's 1094 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:19,399 Speaker 10: running a commercial might be for all, getting getting your 1095 00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:22,200 Speaker 10: call and screened or whatever is like, these things are preventable, 1096 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,280 Speaker 10: and you know, I'm on the loss what I think today? 1097 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,480 Speaker 10: Have you heard this commercials w W an them? But 1098 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,160 Speaker 10: these things are preventable, is your point these things are 1099 00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:34,319 Speaker 10: very preventable, and it starts with the person that lost 1100 00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 10: their life. They made lots of decisions, uh that that 1101 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,359 Speaker 10: that prevented this. Yes, I know we tend to look 1102 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 10: at the institutions, whether it's a police department or ice 1103 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:45,399 Speaker 10: or whoever, and say how can they do things better? 1104 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:50,000 Speaker 10: And we always should right, right, But but but these 1105 00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,760 Speaker 10: these these actors that are going out and doing these things, 1106 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:58,400 Speaker 10: are are putting themselves at risk. And look, if you 1107 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,560 Speaker 10: don't like the law, immigration laws. I believe in immigration laws. 1108 00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,080 Speaker 10: I believe in borders in the country. If you don't 1109 00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 10: believe in them, then vote for somebody that's you know, 1110 00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:14,279 Speaker 10: wants to change the immigration law or peacefully demonstrate in 1111 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 10: a way that is common sensical. Don't go out there 1112 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:21,400 Speaker 10: and put your life on the line to make your statement, 1113 00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,360 Speaker 10: because it is a shame. Like I said, everything is 1114 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,440 Speaker 10: is well also, Dan going about things much more peaceful. 1115 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,440 Speaker 2: You know you can be for you could be for 1116 00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:32,680 Speaker 2: securing the borders and making sure we know who's coming 1117 00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,240 Speaker 2: in this country and our sovereignty. 1118 00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:35,040 Speaker 6: We have a right to do that. 1119 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:36,800 Speaker 2: But you know, even a lot of people agree with that, 1120 00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 2: disagree with sweeping people up in home depot and just 1121 00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:41,960 Speaker 2: snatching them up and grabbing them with like, hey, we're 1122 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,120 Speaker 2: going to quiz you see if you're here illegally or not. 1123 00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:46,080 Speaker 2: You know, I got a couple of people that I 1124 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,920 Speaker 2: know personally through family, friends and the like that. One 1125 00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,200 Speaker 2: guy's Irish and and now he may be kicked out 1126 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,399 Speaker 2: of the country for whatever reason. He got me went 1127 00:54:53,440 --> 00:54:56,239 Speaker 2: to school here, and there's there's stories that's all the time. 1128 00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,400 Speaker 2: It's just like, uh, you know, when when you overextend 1129 00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,800 Speaker 2: yourself in that capacity, going from immigration to in a 1130 00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:05,719 Speaker 2: lot of cases, what we're doing here, you know, it 1131 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,959 Speaker 2: tends to polarize people and turn people against you. Would 1132 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 2: normally support you. But again, when an officer gives you 1133 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,440 Speaker 2: a reasonable command, hey roll your window down. You're blocking 1134 00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,920 Speaker 2: the street. You can't block us from doing our jobs. 1135 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,680 Speaker 2: You've got a problem right there, because that's your war. 1136 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:21,160 Speaker 6: Can't do it. 1137 00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,080 Speaker 10: You have to obey law enforcement. And this wedge, this 1138 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:29,560 Speaker 10: wedge that the politicians out there are putting between federal 1139 00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:35,280 Speaker 10: law enforcement and state law enforcement, is insane. Look, I'm 1140 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:39,560 Speaker 10: responding to whatever law enforcement officer needs assistance. I'm not 1141 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,560 Speaker 10: thinking about the politics involved in it, and neither should 1142 00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,759 Speaker 10: the Minnesota Chief of Police and some of the things 1143 00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:48,280 Speaker 10: that they're saying that the christ should recognize law enforcement 1144 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,760 Speaker 10: officers as law enforcement officers. And again, they are enforcing 1145 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,400 Speaker 10: the law. Maybe it's not the most popular, Maybe some 1146 00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,719 Speaker 10: people might not like the common sense of who they're 1147 00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,839 Speaker 10: approaching at a certain time or whatever. We can all 1148 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,680 Speaker 10: talk about that, but you know, policemen needs help. They 1149 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:08,000 Speaker 10: need to stand together as police officers, federal whatever, as 1150 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,239 Speaker 10: long as as long as they're enforcing the law and 1151 00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,560 Speaker 10: doing it going about it in the legally correct ways, 1152 00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 10: Gateball approved ways that they should stand together. And this 1153 00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,560 Speaker 10: divide that's being put in between them, Yeah, this is 1154 00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:22,319 Speaker 10: really bad. 1155 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,920 Speaker 2: This is blaming the foot soldier obviously for what the 1156 00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 2: what the chief is doing. And yeah, I think it's 1157 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 2: it's it's unfair to think that some I wonder how 1158 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:31,960 Speaker 2: many you've talked to ICE agents off the record. I 1159 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:33,680 Speaker 2: don't know, but I wonder how many they agree with 1160 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:35,960 Speaker 2: what they're doing. But again, it's it's their job. They're 1161 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,800 Speaker 2: sworn to do this stuff, and you'll obey the commands 1162 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:41,839 Speaker 2: above you. So Dan Hill's at the frontline advisor. He's 1163 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,480 Speaker 2: a president of course, former FOP president here in Cincinnati.

Uh, the opposite. 1182 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,880 Speaker 1: Well, no, I I was in the Top Docs episode 1183 00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,959 Speaker 1: of Cincinnati Magazine. I was not voted at Top Docs, 1184 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,880 Speaker 1: but you know some of my work is highlighted there. 1185 00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:37,800 Speaker 10: Appreciate. 1186 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:38,920 Speaker 9: Why do you just say. 1187 00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 2: Again the truth. We're in the post truth society, Sanjay, 1188 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:46,320 Speaker 2: just say you're the best guy in the world. Fair 1189 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,440 Speaker 2: one will check, No one will check. Here we are 1190 00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:54,400 Speaker 2: in the first first CENTI first week of January, and 1191 00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:56,880 Speaker 2: I know the trend the kids all do, like yourself, 1192 00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:58,919 Speaker 2: here is dry January. What the hell is the point 1193 00:57:58,960 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 2: of that? 1194 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,720 Speaker 10: So it's it's interesting, Scott, before you even go on, 1195 00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:09,480 Speaker 10: I found this shock. This that shocking, which was Gallup 1196 00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 10: poll found that fifty four percent of adults drink alcohol now, 1197 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 10: which is the lowest it's been since they started recording it. Yeah, 1198 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,960 Speaker 10: which is it was my it's been up to like 1199 00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,080 Speaker 10: seventy one percent, so like fifty four percent, So it's 1200 00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:28,520 Speaker 10: actually become less commonplace to drink. Have you tried tried 1201 00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:29,200 Speaker 10: January before? 1202 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,440 Speaker 6: So I'm really I don't. 1203 00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,640 Speaker 2: Drink all that much. I might have, you know, every 1204 00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 2: couple of weeks or maybe once a week really unless 1205 00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 2: we're out with friends or something like. I'm not like 1206 00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:39,560 Speaker 2: a big sit around and watch football and drink beer. 1207 00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,360 Speaker 2: I don't know why I should because my team's never win, 1208 00:58:42,560 --> 00:58:44,360 Speaker 2: so I should probably drink more than I don't. 1209 00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: It was dull the pain, for sure. Yeah, but you know, 1210 00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:50,360 Speaker 1: now that the season's over for the Bengals, you know, 1211 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:55,240 Speaker 1: there's no real reasons. But yeah, it's it's actually becoming 1212 00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 1: more and more common. The whole dry January thing only 1213 00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:02,520 Speaker 1: started about less than twenty years ago, which also was 1214 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:04,360 Speaker 1: surprising to me. I thought this has been around for 1215 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 1: a while, But what we're seeing is the movement's increasing. 1216 00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:11,600 Speaker 1: And this study just came out, Actually it was out 1217 00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 1: of Brown University, but it was a combination of a 1218 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:17,480 Speaker 1: bunch of other studies about dry January and the positive 1219 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:22,160 Speaker 1: effects that we're actually seeing. And it's really encouraging for 1220 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 1: the movement, not just for the month itself, but for 1221 00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:28,680 Speaker 1: the long term effects of actually just going cold turkey 1222 00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:29,240 Speaker 1: for a month. 1223 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 2: How many people continue after Januer saying, you know, I 1224 00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,080 Speaker 2: feel pretty good, I don't need the alcohol. 1225 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,640 Speaker 10: So it's a significant amount. And it's not necessarily like 1226 00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:41,720 Speaker 10: going completely sober, we don't see that so much, but 1227 00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,280 Speaker 10: it is a huge curb on the drinking. 1228 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,800 Speaker 1: So you know what doing a dry January does. It 1229 00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:50,640 Speaker 1: tells you a few things. One you can reflect on it. 1230 00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:52,680 Speaker 1: And that's one of the most important things I tell people, 1231 00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:55,320 Speaker 1: which is, you know, don't just do the act. Think 1232 00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:58,960 Speaker 1: about how you felt before, and then document how you 1233 00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,200 Speaker 1: feel afterwards, because you'll see the benefits. And if you 1234 01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,120 Speaker 1: don't reflect on it, you may see it and you 1235 01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,400 Speaker 1: may just say, you know, this is just one month 1236 01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:08,960 Speaker 1: in my life and go back to your usual habits. 1237 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:13,280 Speaker 1: What people find is by doing a month of dry January, 1238 01:00:13,640 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 1: feeling better, they're sleeping better, they're like having better social connections, 1239 01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:21,800 Speaker 1: and you know, they're losing weight. You know, there's a 1240 01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:25,880 Speaker 1: ton of effects to work this, and people realize if 1241 01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:28,720 Speaker 1: they reflect on it and curb their drinking. So maybe 1242 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,080 Speaker 1: you know, you're doing two drinks a night, or two 1243 01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:32,720 Speaker 1: drinks a few times a night, and maybe it's down 1244 01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:36,720 Speaker 1: to two drinks once a week, which any cutdown is beneficial. 1245 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 2: Is there a benefit to alcohol, I'm sorry, is there 1246 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,600 Speaker 2: a benefit to alcohol specifically wine? You know, you hear 1247 01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,840 Speaker 2: about the Mediterranean diet and the French and they drink 1248 01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,800 Speaker 2: a lot of wine and the health and is that 1249 01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:51,760 Speaker 2: bonc or is there a certain amount of alcohol that 1250 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:52,560 Speaker 2: actually is helpful? 1251 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,600 Speaker 1: So I know, the studies keep going back and forth, 1252 01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,640 Speaker 1: and you know, we get conflicting evidence, which makes it 1253 01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:03,400 Speaker 1: r The current stance in science is that there is 1254 01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:08,840 Speaker 1: no health benefit to drinking alcohol. So no alcohol is 1255 01:01:08,920 --> 01:01:12,280 Speaker 1: better than any at all. Uh And and you know, 1256 01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 1: maybe it's subject to change, but I kind of believe 1257 01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,840 Speaker 1: for myself someone who you know, It's not like I 1258 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,600 Speaker 1: was binging or anything, but I was drinking more than 1259 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 1: I do now. And it just took a couple of 1260 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,720 Speaker 1: changes and now I'm like you, I'm drinking maybe one 1261 01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,280 Speaker 1: night a week. It's that and at that it would 1262 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:32,040 Speaker 1: be like a drink or two max and h seeing 1263 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,600 Speaker 1: that has has confirmed my bliss. 1264 01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:35,640 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1265 01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,320 Speaker 2: I mean, if you're out three or four nights a week, 1266 01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 2: that's that's a problem, unless you know, you're in college. 1267 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:41,640 Speaker 2: I think you get to pass up until grad school. 1268 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:43,800 Speaker 2: Then after that it's probably time to take that kind 1269 01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,440 Speaker 2: of stuff seriously. But if in the thing, you kind 1270 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,920 Speaker 2: of probably want to admit to yourself, hey, I'm probably 1271 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,440 Speaker 2: drinking more nights than I should be. If I can 1272 01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,480 Speaker 2: cut that back down to you know, one or two, 1273 01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:55,720 Speaker 2: how much is how much? Is the way you said? 1274 01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,800 Speaker 2: You know, no alcohol is you know, the best, but 1275 01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:00,720 Speaker 2: I think you know, a little whe or red wine 1276 01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,880 Speaker 2: something like that, it's probably pretty good for you. You know, 1277 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:06,760 Speaker 2: you start chugging handles of Jack Daniels, you got problems. 1278 01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,840 Speaker 1: Exactly, you know, And I'm I'm not one to say, 1279 01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,360 Speaker 1: you know, absolutely cut it out of your life, no 1280 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,560 Speaker 1: questions asked, you know, there is a point to drinking. 1281 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:20,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes there is a social connection and something that happens 1282 01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 1: when you when you're sharing drinks with friends. Sure, but 1283 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,520 Speaker 1: I would say, you know, no more than once or 1284 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 1: twice a week and you'll you'll be better off. And 1285 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:31,120 Speaker 1: even that again, limiting your alcohol consumption will help you 1286 01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:32,640 Speaker 1: in in a ton of ways. 1287 01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:33,880 Speaker 10: And it's been shown scientist. 1288 01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,680 Speaker 2: Let's get into those things that that show up that 1289 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:40,360 Speaker 2: just one month of dry January, no drinking and dry January, 1290 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:41,880 Speaker 2: what does that do for you? What are the benefits? 1291 01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,280 Speaker 10: Yeah, so one of the main things that you know, 1292 01:02:45,560 --> 01:02:47,720 Speaker 10: you and I talked about it on our very first segment, 1293 01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:51,800 Speaker 10: which is sleep. A lot of people drink alcohol too 1294 01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:53,480 Speaker 10: before they go to bed and they say, you know, 1295 01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,960 Speaker 10: it helps me sleep, and there is some truth to that. 1296 01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,760 Speaker 1: It helps you get to sleep. The problem is you don't. 1297 01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,280 Speaker 1: You don't stay asleep, so you get this four hour 1298 01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,400 Speaker 1: rebound effect where the alcohol goes away and suddenly your 1299 01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:07,080 Speaker 1: brain is more wired than. 1300 01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:07,840 Speaker 10: When you went to bed. 1301 01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:10,240 Speaker 1: And so you know, if you're waking up in the 1302 01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:13,680 Speaker 1: middle of the night because of alcohol, there's the alcohol 1303 01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,280 Speaker 1: is the reason for that. The other thing we see 1304 01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,480 Speaker 1: is that you don't get rem sleep when you drink alcohol, 1305 01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,480 Speaker 1: or you get very minimal rem sleep, So while you 1306 01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:23,960 Speaker 1: fall asleep, and you fall asleep quickly, you don't get 1307 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,520 Speaker 1: that quality sleep that helps you restore, helps you forward 1308 01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,480 Speaker 1: memories and do all the stuff that happens during your 1309 01:03:30,560 --> 01:03:34,080 Speaker 1: dream state, which is essential for not just you know, happiness, 1310 01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:37,440 Speaker 1: but also helps So sleep is the main thing. 1311 01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:41,280 Speaker 2: Gotcha, Yeah, I was gonna say. It's Sanjay Scheva Crimani. 1312 01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,080 Speaker 2: He's the our physician also a resident health and fitness 1313 01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,320 Speaker 2: guy on the show. And first segment you were talking 1314 01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:48,320 Speaker 2: about drive January and a lot of people are getting 1315 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,720 Speaker 2: on this bandwagon by the thousands, especially your millennials and 1316 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,560 Speaker 2: gen zers, older gen zers, I guess I should say, 1317 01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:57,520 Speaker 2: are getting on this bandwagon just for a month to 1318 01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,960 Speaker 2: see how it feels. And then remarkably people go back 1319 01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,000 Speaker 2: back to those habits that don't make them feel well. 1320 01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:04,280 Speaker 2: But you know, I think, like we're saying anything in 1321 01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 2: moderation is pretty good. We're talking about the effects of 1322 01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,760 Speaker 2: that though, and what you know, going dry for an 1323 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 2: entire month is going to do for your body, sleep 1324 01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:12,040 Speaker 2: being one, what else. 1325 01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,080 Speaker 1: The other things the things that come out of sleep 1326 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,479 Speaker 1: directly would be your mood and energy levels. So people 1327 01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 1: feel better, they have more energy to do the things 1328 01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,520 Speaker 1: they want, and especially in a dreary month like January, 1329 01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:25,840 Speaker 1: that will help you. 1330 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,160 Speaker 10: So things that come out of sleep. 1331 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,120 Speaker 1: The other things we see is weight loss, and you 1332 01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:32,880 Speaker 1: can imagine, you know, the term empty calories. I just 1333 01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:34,440 Speaker 1: kind of heard it, but I didn't know what it meant. 1334 01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:37,640 Speaker 1: But basically, there's no nutritional value in alcohol, but it 1335 01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,040 Speaker 1: has a ton of calories if you look at at 1336 01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:42,760 Speaker 1: a bottle or if you're having a sugary cocktail or 1337 01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,600 Speaker 1: something like that, it adds up quickly. And so people 1338 01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,240 Speaker 1: find that they lose about three to five pounds if 1339 01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:50,960 Speaker 1: they do drive January on average, And so that's a 1340 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,720 Speaker 1: pretty significant thing, especially when you know we start the 1341 01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:55,720 Speaker 1: year and we all want to be healthier, et cetera. 1342 01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:58,480 Speaker 1: That would be a huge way to get there, is 1343 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,800 Speaker 1: just limiting those empty calories that aren't doing anything for you. 1344 01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,920 Speaker 1: The other thing we see, uh, you know other things anyway, 1345 01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,040 Speaker 1: would be a drop in blood pressure that seemed kind 1346 01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:12,240 Speaker 1: of across the board, uh, and then liver problems. So 1347 01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, it's interesting. 1348 01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,880 Speaker 10: A lot of us have what we call fatty liver disease, 1349 01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,360 Speaker 10: which is basically as fat deposits, and what they saw 1350 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,160 Speaker 10: in these studies is that those amount of fat deposits 1351 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,920 Speaker 10: go down in your liver. Fat deposits are important because 1352 01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:31,520 Speaker 10: what what they can lead to is liver injury and eventually, 1353 01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:33,520 Speaker 10: and this is not to like spook anyone else, but 1354 01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:36,880 Speaker 10: you know, it's one of the precursors sometimes for cirrhosis, 1355 01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:40,120 Speaker 10: and so that's end stage liver disease. And so any 1356 01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:41,800 Speaker 10: any cut back. 1357 01:05:41,680 --> 01:05:44,840 Speaker 1: On your alcohol intake will decrease that fat formation in 1358 01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 1: your liver. So we see a ton of benefits from 1359 01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:48,800 Speaker 1: from dropping alcohol. 1360 01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:51,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, you hear about that fatty liver thing that that's concerning, 1361 01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,320 Speaker 2: and that is from drinking out of that diet, and 1362 01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,520 Speaker 2: lack exercise too contributes to its. 1363 01:05:57,960 --> 01:05:58,760 Speaker 10: All of the above. 1364 01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:03,040 Speaker 1: So you know, you have non alcoholic fatty liver disease 1365 01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,560 Speaker 1: and then you have the alcoholic type. And so what 1366 01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,120 Speaker 1: we find is that you know, alcohol does lead to it, 1367 01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:11,320 Speaker 1: but also obesity and being overweight can lead to it too, 1368 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,520 Speaker 1: just because of insulin resistance. And so there are many 1369 01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:17,680 Speaker 1: ways to get a fatty liver, but alcohol certainly doesn't. 1370 01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:20,160 Speaker 10: Help and probably it leads to a lot of the cases. 1371 01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:22,800 Speaker 2: This is the time of year of people focus on 1372 01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:25,160 Speaker 2: diet and exercise and okay, drive j anywhere. Can you 1373 01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:25,720 Speaker 2: do too much? 1374 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:25,920 Speaker 4: Though? 1375 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:27,600 Speaker 2: Can It's like, hey, I'm gonna diet and it's dry 1376 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,320 Speaker 2: January and I got I'm gonna start exercising and you 1377 01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,760 Speaker 2: start loading that up on your plate. Should you just 1378 01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:34,880 Speaker 2: pick one of the three or more? 1379 01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:41,760 Speaker 1: Whatever? Whatever you can sustain is always the best. Like, 1380 01:06:41,920 --> 01:06:45,040 Speaker 1: it is possible to go too hard just for your brain. No, 1381 01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,800 Speaker 1: health wise, no, it's not a thing. And that comes 1382 01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 1: with a disclaimer. If you do drink moderate to severe 1383 01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 1: amount of alcohol, I'm talking like three or four drinks 1384 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,960 Speaker 1: a day or more, I would consult a health professional 1385 01:06:57,040 --> 01:07:00,640 Speaker 1: before you go cold turkey. That's why risk, because the 1386 01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:04,560 Speaker 1: risks of alcohol withdrawal are very high. The other, you know, 1387 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:08,360 Speaker 1: the other thing to your point is, uh, it's hard 1388 01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:11,600 Speaker 1: to it's hard to make change. And so if you've 1389 01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:15,400 Speaker 1: never tried, you know, improving your health before, I would 1390 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,280 Speaker 1: recommend doing one thing now. This may be the thing 1391 01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,200 Speaker 1: for you, especially if if you're drinking, you know, three 1392 01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:22,960 Speaker 1: plus times a week. Just dropping that. 1393 01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:26,360 Speaker 10: Again, better sleep leads to better health, Uh, at least 1394 01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:26,960 Speaker 10: a better mood. 1395 01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:29,720 Speaker 1: It leads to better social connections, and just try it 1396 01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:33,040 Speaker 1: out and see again. Like we were talking about before 1397 01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:39,720 Speaker 1: the break, the benefits of habit formation. You know, it's 1398 01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:42,240 Speaker 1: great if you can find a health habit, but it 1399 01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,400 Speaker 1: takes about three weeks to even start forming those connections 1400 01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:48,080 Speaker 1: in your brain. So that's the beauty of doing dry 1401 01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,960 Speaker 1: January fair an entire month because you can start building 1402 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:54,680 Speaker 1: those habits and that ability to say no, I won't 1403 01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 1: drink tonight and showing yourself the benefits of this. 1404 01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's fascinating because you know, you start 1405 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,360 Speaker 2: to feel better, you notice those changes, and one may ask, well, 1406 01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:06,120 Speaker 2: why don't you keep You tend to fall back into 1407 01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,040 Speaker 2: the same pattern. No, I think, and you know, for 1408 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:09,840 Speaker 2: the next eleven months you try to make up for 1409 01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:10,960 Speaker 2: the one month where you didn't drive. 1410 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:15,560 Speaker 1: It's definitely possible to have that rebound, which is that 1411 01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 1: reason of building those good habits and even the habit 1412 01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:22,439 Speaker 1: again of saying no or not sharing it. Now there's 1413 01:08:22,840 --> 01:08:25,120 Speaker 1: there's all these things that have been kind of set 1414 01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:27,800 Speaker 1: up for success for drand dry January. Where we lived 1415 01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:31,120 Speaker 1: right now at this time in history, and our beautiful city. 1416 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,599 Speaker 1: You know, a ton of restaurants out there and bars 1417 01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,200 Speaker 1: now have mocktails, so you have another option if you 1418 01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,280 Speaker 1: don't want to drink alcohol. You know, if you if 1419 01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,160 Speaker 1: you name it, Homemakers is one of them that just 1420 01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:45,760 Speaker 1: prides themselves on their mocktails. Sundry Advice does it too, 1421 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,599 Speaker 1: but almost every restaurant is doing mocktails, and so there 1422 01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 1: are other options. And then if you know, I've had 1423 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,720 Speaker 1: the Athletic Brewing, which is an alcoholic beer I don't 1424 01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,400 Speaker 1: even like I PAS, and their non alcoholic i PA 1425 01:08:57,760 --> 01:09:01,120 Speaker 1: is amazing, And so you know, there's there's a ton 1426 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,040 Speaker 1: of options out there. The other thing is we have 1427 01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,240 Speaker 1: leaders in the industry of food and wine and drink 1428 01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:09,560 Speaker 1: that are you know, telling telling their alcohol story and 1429 01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:13,439 Speaker 1: talking about how they've achieved sobriety, Jose Salazar being one 1430 01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:15,400 Speaker 1: of them. And so you have leaders in our community 1431 01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:19,000 Speaker 1: that are speaking about the benefit of stopping alcohol intake. 1432 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,200 Speaker 1: And so that's that's leading into it too. And then 1433 01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:23,920 Speaker 1: again more and more people are doing it's now socially 1434 01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,640 Speaker 1: acceptable to not drink alcohol, which I don't think was 1435 01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:28,519 Speaker 1: the case you know twenty years ago. You know, you 1436 01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,439 Speaker 1: get made fun of or people would be like, are 1437 01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:32,960 Speaker 1: you pregnant? And even if you're a guy, you know, 1438 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:36,760 Speaker 1: and now it's much more socially acceptable, and that's it's 1439 01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,080 Speaker 1: created a better, better society. 1440 01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:39,200 Speaker 9: For all of them. 1441 01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:41,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it makes sense at this time of the year. 1442 01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,000 Speaker 2: As I mentioned the confluence of diet, exercise, not drinking, 1443 01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,640 Speaker 2: all these things. If you make this part of a 1444 01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,120 Speaker 2: fast let's pivot to that real quick here too, because 1445 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 2: I know a lot of people at first the year 1446 01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:54,080 Speaker 2: they start a I got to clean up after the holidays, 1447 01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:55,519 Speaker 2: they had a couple of weeks off and I feel 1448 01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,360 Speaker 2: like crap, and I've got to reset my metabolism, my brain. 1449 01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:00,880 Speaker 2: Where are you on fasting? Does it actually work? And 1450 01:10:00,960 --> 01:10:03,559 Speaker 2: what you should What should you do if you're contemplating. 1451 01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:07,080 Speaker 1: It's tough. I know a lot of people who have 1452 01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:10,240 Speaker 1: had success with it. At the end of the day, 1453 01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:12,599 Speaker 1: a lot of people say that the fasting its main 1454 01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:15,519 Speaker 1: effect is that it's hard to eat all your caloric 1455 01:10:15,600 --> 01:10:19,160 Speaker 1: intake in one day. I'll be honest, I don't know 1456 01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:20,880 Speaker 1: all the data on it, and I know it gets 1457 01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,400 Speaker 1: down to a lot of minutia that I don't bother 1458 01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 1: myself with. I mean, I'm still a simple guy who 1459 01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 1: says calories in versus calories out. 1460 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:30,880 Speaker 10: And there's you know, there's there's layers on top of that. 1461 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,000 Speaker 1: Of the type of food you're bringing in, et cetera. 1462 01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:35,600 Speaker 1: And I just I try to be I try to 1463 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:37,800 Speaker 1: live with a cleaner diet these days than I used to. 1464 01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:40,960 Speaker 1: For a while there, I was eating onhealthy and a 1465 01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:44,240 Speaker 1: lot of like inflammatory foods, and now I'm introducing more 1466 01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,760 Speaker 1: fiber and nutrient rich foods to my diet and less 1467 01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:51,639 Speaker 1: processed stuff. As far as you know, it is possible 1468 01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,439 Speaker 1: to go too hard, and you know, if you're intimently fasting, 1469 01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:58,799 Speaker 1: it might work for you, it's really hard to maintain 1470 01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,800 Speaker 1: that long term. And so like with anything, I say, 1471 01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,920 Speaker 1: do what makes you feel better that you can maintain forever, 1472 01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:08,840 Speaker 1: as opposed to going hard and really clunging yourself and 1473 01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,360 Speaker 1: maybe seeing some benefits. But then when it's done, like 1474 01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:14,920 Speaker 1: you talked about, when it's done in February or whenever 1475 01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:18,120 Speaker 1: you decide to stop that process, you don't rebound and 1476 01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 1: go crazy and you know, eat everything under the sun. 1477 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:25,360 Speaker 1: So small changes are more important that you can sustain 1478 01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:27,840 Speaker 1: than one massive change that is just going to be 1479 01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:28,520 Speaker 1: a flash. 1480 01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:28,599 Speaker 10: In the pan. 1481 01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've heard success. People get older, you know, inflammatory disease, 1482 01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:34,320 Speaker 2: everything starts hurting, and as soon as you clean your 1483 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:36,080 Speaker 2: diet up or fast for a while, you start to 1484 01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:39,240 Speaker 2: feel better. You know, you go into what's called katosis, 1485 01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:41,720 Speaker 2: where you're burning your fat basically you know, very low 1486 01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,200 Speaker 2: carbohydrates if any. But there's a certain benefit that mentally 1487 01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:47,600 Speaker 2: and physically as well. But of course you know, you 1488 01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:51,360 Speaker 2: can't fast for thirty straight days. There's a reasonable amount 1489 01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,560 Speaker 2: of time you should you should subject your body to that. 1490 01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:57,120 Speaker 2: So and then gradually introduce reintroduce foods that there are 1491 01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,880 Speaker 2: maybe less inflammatory. So as you get older, that definitely 1492 01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:02,519 Speaker 2: is that when you're younger, but you're older, everything hurts. 1493 01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:06,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there are Resilience is huge when we're 1494 01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:08,360 Speaker 1: when we're young. And then it starts to say that 1495 01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,600 Speaker 1: you and I have experienced. I'll say I did the 1496 01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:14,320 Speaker 1: Whole thirty diet, which is anti inflammatory and no alcohol. 1497 01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,479 Speaker 1: I did that for a January a few years ago, 1498 01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 1: and the things I learned from that I took with me. 1499 01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:22,720 Speaker 1: Did I you know, do I go Whole thirty all 1500 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:23,040 Speaker 1: the time? 1501 01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:23,240 Speaker 4: No? 1502 01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:26,439 Speaker 1: But do I see the things and the potential benefits 1503 01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:30,080 Speaker 1: and stopping alcohol and being more mindful about the food 1504 01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,840 Speaker 1: that I'm putting in my body. Yes, and so it's 1505 01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,559 Speaker 1: do it over time. The more you do it, I mean, 1506 01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,960 Speaker 1: it's almost like stopping any bad habit. Reflect on it, 1507 01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:42,200 Speaker 1: see how it makes you feel. You will probably you know, 1508 01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:45,560 Speaker 1: fail and even if you you know, if you do 1509 01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,560 Speaker 1: drive January back to that and you start you have 1510 01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:51,240 Speaker 1: a drink or to either in January, they're calling it 1511 01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:52,640 Speaker 1: damp January, where you like. 1512 01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:56,600 Speaker 10: Maybe slip up. It's better then, It's better than just 1513 01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:59,519 Speaker 10: you know, drinking every day or going back. It's okay. 1514 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,559 Speaker 1: We're human after all, and it's okay to slip up 1515 01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,040 Speaker 1: every now and then, no matter what, you're doing your 1516 01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:07,439 Speaker 1: body a favor by decreasing your. 1517 01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:11,120 Speaker 2: Alcoholic Sonja Schewercramani is an er doctor here in Cincinnati 1518 01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:13,280 Speaker 2: and he comes on the show Thursday mornings.

Every day there's something more we 1531 01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:50,559 Speaker 2: got it. We need to I think a new year reset, 1532 01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,840 Speaker 2: if you will. Other stuff going on includes, of course 1533 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:56,240 Speaker 2: the battle over healthcare too, and we recently had a 1534 01:13:56,280 --> 01:14:00,400 Speaker 2: government shutdown that illustrated the silliness, absurdity with poult that 1535 01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:03,880 Speaker 2: we tolerate in this country right now, certainly in America. 1536 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:05,120 Speaker 2: You know a lot of people still come here for 1537 01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:08,320 Speaker 2: health care renowned for research and development, and there's a 1538 01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:10,840 Speaker 2: lot of vesture in that. So you know, certainly the 1539 01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:13,200 Speaker 2: system is broken. It's not completely broken or it can't 1540 01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:15,479 Speaker 2: be fixed. But we're back to that critical issue of 1541 01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:18,760 Speaker 2: healthcare and getting people covered. On that is doctor Peter 1542 01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,519 Speaker 2: Cowie on the show this morning, How you been. 1543 01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:25,479 Speaker 9: Scott, Thanks for having me and I appreciate the invitation. 1544 01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think this is extremely relevant now that 1545 01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,640 Speaker 2: we fight over healthcare subsidies and you know, you know, 1546 01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:33,599 Speaker 2: there are a number of Americans that are dependent upon 1547 01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:36,600 Speaker 2: that and working people who are working multiple jobs in 1548 01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:40,519 Speaker 2: order to try and survive today, and they need healthcare. 1549 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,519 Speaker 2: It's not provided by their employer, and so ACA fills 1550 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,600 Speaker 2: that void. They get high scores for that. But you know, 1551 01:14:45,760 --> 01:14:48,960 Speaker 2: to act like somehow it makes it affordable, it doesn't. 1552 01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:52,439 Speaker 2: Because the tremendous amount of subsidy that's at stake here, 1553 01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,120 Speaker 2: you continue to subsidize things, it distorts what the costs 1554 01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 2: really are, and it really it just glosses over a 1555 01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:03,120 Speaker 2: broken system them in that regard, doesn't it absolutely. 1556 01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:07,080 Speaker 9: You know, we have two populations that are at risk here. 1557 01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:12,080 Speaker 9: One is obviously the uninsured, but there's a gigantic proportion 1558 01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,760 Speaker 9: of our population who are underinsured, so they have to 1559 01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:19,200 Speaker 9: pay large deductibles, they have to pay a lot of 1560 01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:24,320 Speaker 9: out of pocket expenses when they seek medical care. Those 1561 01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:26,200 Speaker 9: are the people who are really at risk here. And 1562 01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,520 Speaker 9: of course, with the reduction in the subsidies, their premiums 1563 01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:30,600 Speaker 9: look like they're going to. 1564 01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:31,320 Speaker 10: Go through the roof. 1565 01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:36,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we have lawmakers breaking away. I mean, Taylor 1566 01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:39,400 Speaker 2: Green from Georgia's just saying, look, listen, you know I've 1567 01:15:39,439 --> 01:15:42,919 Speaker 2: got family members that rely on subsidies on the Affordable 1568 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:45,240 Speaker 2: Care Act in order to provide they're working a few jobs. 1569 01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:46,880 Speaker 2: I have family members that are like that right now. 1570 01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:49,200 Speaker 2: You know, this isn't like us against them and we 1571 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:51,840 Speaker 2: might you know, it's because it's Obamacare. It must be destroyed. 1572 01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,479 Speaker 2: It's propping up a broken in defunct system, and something 1573 01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:58,639 Speaker 2: needs to be done because the future is not looking bright. 1574 01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:00,560 Speaker 2: And you're right about that in failure to treat what 1575 01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:03,960 Speaker 2: this really means for ordinary families as things continue the 1576 01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,240 Speaker 2: way they are. The broad picture on this, though, doctor 1577 01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:09,280 Speaker 2: Cowie is Here's what I don't understand, right, is that 1578 01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:12,360 Speaker 2: we have a not a good system was is with 1579 01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:15,240 Speaker 2: Medicare and Medicaid and the Affordable Character and Obamacare and 1580 01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:17,880 Speaker 2: things are being popped up and subsidized and it's ugly 1581 01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,680 Speaker 2: and it doesn't work the other side of it, I 1582 01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:23,240 Speaker 2: don't see many ideas come out of the Republicans though, 1583 01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:25,720 Speaker 2: when it comes to a better solution for this other 1584 01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:28,519 Speaker 2: than well, you know, it's socialized medicine and we can't 1585 01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:30,920 Speaker 2: have that. What's the solution. 1586 01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:36,560 Speaker 9: Yeah, so you're entirely correct, we can't. We have a 1587 01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:40,280 Speaker 9: patchwork system right now, we have people trying to get 1588 01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:44,280 Speaker 9: health insurance in several different directions, and as we've already said, 1589 01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:48,920 Speaker 9: at very high cost. It really is going to come down, unfortunately, 1590 01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:53,080 Speaker 9: to a debate about whether we should as a country, 1591 01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:58,680 Speaker 9: as a civilization here, but just say everybody has to 1592 01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:03,280 Speaker 9: have affordable healthcare, and in whatever form that's going to take. 1593 01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:07,040 Speaker 9: You've heard the term medicare for all. That may be 1594 01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:09,880 Speaker 9: a little bit large in terms of how much that 1595 01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:13,120 Speaker 9: would cost and whether it could be implemented. But the 1596 01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:15,200 Speaker 9: truth of the matter is that until we get to 1597 01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:18,720 Speaker 9: the point that we all agree that this is not 1598 01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,920 Speaker 9: a luxury, this is a necessity that we need to 1599 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:26,040 Speaker 9: provide affordable healthcare for all of our citizens. Until we 1600 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,120 Speaker 9: grasp that concept, I'm afraid that the system is not 1601 01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:29,960 Speaker 9: going to get fixed. 1602 01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:34,080 Speaker 2: In the Isey the overwriting story here regards of where 1603 01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:36,200 Speaker 2: you stand politically on this, the fact is it doesn't. 1604 01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:38,880 Speaker 2: I think everyone agrees in Republican Democrats know that it 1605 01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:41,080 Speaker 2: doesn't work the way it is, and it's something has 1606 01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:44,040 Speaker 2: to give because we spend what twice as much per 1607 01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:47,280 Speaker 2: person on healthcare as other countries who are wealthy, and 1608 01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:50,519 Speaker 2: something like thirteen thous or thirteen grand per person annually 1609 01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,280 Speaker 2: spend on healthcare, and a lot of those people don't 1610 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,680 Speaker 2: use healthcare. We're talking about younger people who don't use 1611 01:17:55,800 --> 01:17:58,439 Speaker 2: healthcare as much as older people do. And we're not 1612 01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:01,120 Speaker 2: getting any better outcomes. Number one one cause of personal 1613 01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:06,599 Speaker 2: bankruptcy medical bills. That's no future for a that's still 1614 01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:08,200 Speaker 2: a recipe for future success. I should say. 1615 01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:12,120 Speaker 9: Now, we're spending four and a half trillion dollars a 1616 01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:15,320 Speaker 9: year on healthcare in the United States, projected in twenty 1617 01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:18,759 Speaker 9: thirty five to be closer to nine trillion dollars on healthcare, 1618 01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:21,799 Speaker 9: and yet, as you just said, and I completely agree, 1619 01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:25,799 Speaker 9: we sit at the bottom in ranks of civilized countries 1620 01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:28,760 Speaker 9: in terms of almost any healthcare outcome measure you want 1621 01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:35,040 Speaker 9: to use, infant mortality, life expectancy. It is not a 1622 01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:36,160 Speaker 9: system that's working. 1623 01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:38,960 Speaker 10: But we have the recently. 1624 01:18:39,120 --> 01:18:42,320 Speaker 9: You're preamble by the way, I really appreciate it, because you're. 1625 01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:43,400 Speaker 10: Right, you know you can. 1626 01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:47,040 Speaker 9: The glass isn't completely empty half empty. There's a lot 1627 01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:50,280 Speaker 9: of really good things about our healthcare system. The problem 1628 01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:50,840 Speaker 9: is access. 1629 01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:53,960 Speaker 10: The problem is allowing people to get into the system 1630 01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,240 Speaker 10: so that they can take advantage of this wonderful technology 1631 01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:58,800 Speaker 10: and innovation that we have here. 1632 01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:02,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw the murder of the CEO of United 1633 01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:06,639 Speaker 2: Healthcare and the reaction that I saw from a number 1634 01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:09,519 Speaker 2: of people sickening that we're celebrating the death of the 1635 01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:11,559 Speaker 2: CEO of a company like he is the one driving 1636 01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:15,120 Speaker 2: this problem people. And I get it, you know, it's 1637 01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,639 Speaker 2: a metaphor for the system that's broken. But I don't 1638 01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:21,680 Speaker 2: understand celebrating someone's assassination basically is what happened here? What 1639 01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:23,200 Speaker 2: does that tell you about where we're in and how 1640 01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,080 Speaker 2: much of that has to do? And I get it. 1641 01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:28,320 Speaker 2: You know, insurance companies and insurers they stand the most 1642 01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,920 Speaker 2: to gain by well what the democrats want. A lot 1643 01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:33,080 Speaker 2: of this money is going to go to UH. If 1644 01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:35,680 Speaker 2: you subsidize anything, what happens is you just it just 1645 01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:37,720 Speaker 2: costs you more. College is a great example. You know, 1646 01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:40,639 Speaker 2: we subsidize college. Everyone has to go to college free 1647 01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:43,200 Speaker 2: college money grants tuition on the thing, and college is 1648 01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:45,559 Speaker 2: raised it. Okay, we'll just going to charge more because 1649 01:19:45,600 --> 01:19:47,960 Speaker 2: more people have its more money and it's artificial till 1650 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:49,599 Speaker 2: you have to pay it. The same thing is true here, 1651 01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:49,920 Speaker 2: isn't it. 1652 01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:54,719 Speaker 9: Yeah? I agree entirely would you song with the reaction 1653 01:19:55,000 --> 01:20:00,120 Speaker 9: to that unfortunate event is how angry people are. I 1654 01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:02,720 Speaker 9: think what you saw was a reflection of their frustration 1655 01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:07,880 Speaker 9: and their anger with dealing with healthcare insurance companies that 1656 01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:11,560 Speaker 9: they really don't care about you. I mean, they've advertise 1657 01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,560 Speaker 9: on television how much they care, and the truth of 1658 01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:14,960 Speaker 9: the matter is they don't. I don't know if you 1659 01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:18,919 Speaker 9: saw recently, Scott, that a number of companies, including Medicare 1660 01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:22,120 Speaker 9: as well, are now going to go to pre certification 1661 01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:23,880 Speaker 9: done by artificial intelligence. 1662 01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:24,920 Speaker 10: Now think about that. 1663 01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:27,800 Speaker 9: Think about that your doctor orders a test and some 1664 01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:30,080 Speaker 9: computer is going to make a decision as to whether 1665 01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:30,400 Speaker 9: or not. 1666 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:32,400 Speaker 10: You can get that test done or not. 1667 01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:35,840 Speaker 9: I mean, that's the level of the absurdity that's going 1668 01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:39,679 Speaker 9: on with pre certification, for example, or denials of care. 1669 01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:43,360 Speaker 9: And in the book as failure to treat their numerous 1670 01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:48,599 Speaker 9: examples in the stories about people who suffered really severe 1671 01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:52,599 Speaker 9: harm because of what happens with their medical insurance system 1672 01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:54,000 Speaker 9: as it currently exists. 1673 01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:54,960 Speaker 6: Oh, you don't have to. 1674 01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:57,240 Speaker 2: Look far to find those examples that you know, the 1675 01:20:57,640 --> 01:20:59,200 Speaker 2: things that you think are covered, and they try to 1676 01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:01,080 Speaker 2: find a way not to cover it. Or you know, 1677 01:21:01,120 --> 01:21:04,040 Speaker 2: it's almost a It's hard enough when your child, for example, 1678 01:21:04,120 --> 01:21:06,559 Speaker 2: as you know doctor Cowie is ill and you're trying 1679 01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:09,840 Speaker 2: to get them treatment for something like pediatric cancer, heart 1680 01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:11,840 Speaker 2: or some sort of serious illness like that, and then 1681 01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:14,679 Speaker 2: you're waging a war with the insurance company on top 1682 01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:15,959 Speaker 2: of that. It seems punitive. 1683 01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:21,320 Speaker 9: Yeah, and don't don't believe that the doctors aren't advocating. 1684 01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:26,120 Speaker 9: I mean, my office spends almost a full fte just 1685 01:21:26,280 --> 01:21:30,000 Speaker 9: dealing with insurance companies to get certification for procedures. And 1686 01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:32,679 Speaker 9: they put you on hold for a couple of hours 1687 01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:34,600 Speaker 9: and you have to wait there until they've decided to 1688 01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:37,280 Speaker 9: come on the phone. And then when they deny something, 1689 01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,679 Speaker 9: you have to go into a complicated system of trying 1690 01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:43,519 Speaker 9: to appeal to appeal the decision, and you have to 1691 01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:46,560 Speaker 9: go up in the ladder to what they call a 1692 01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:49,880 Speaker 9: peer review and talk to somebody who may not even 1693 01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:52,920 Speaker 9: be in your specialty to make a decision about coverage. 1694 01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,480 Speaker 9: So the system is rotten. Okay, it's a rotten system. 1695 01:21:56,240 --> 01:22:00,880 Speaker 10: And unfortunately we've adapted to a tried to live with it. 1696 01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:02,360 Speaker 9: But it has to it has to change. 1697 01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:04,680 Speaker 2: Well, we've heard that for a long time, though, What 1698 01:22:04,880 --> 01:22:06,600 Speaker 2: is going to be the change agent here? Is it 1699 01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:09,760 Speaker 2: going to be one extreme case, one extreme example, kind 1700 01:22:09,800 --> 01:22:12,920 Speaker 2: of like you know, when we have a terror attack, 1701 01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,240 Speaker 2: everything changed after nine to eleven. Do we need like 1702 01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:18,200 Speaker 2: a medical nine to eleven to occur? And what would 1703 01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:18,519 Speaker 2: that look like? 1704 01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,240 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, you know, I wondered. 1705 01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:24,080 Speaker 9: I've wondered this myself. You know, I used to think 1706 01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:28,280 Speaker 9: that when the Sandy Hook shootings occurred and all those 1707 01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:31,679 Speaker 9: children were massacred, that that was going to stimulate change 1708 01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:35,000 Speaker 9: in the gun laws. And it didn't. Uh, it almost 1709 01:22:35,320 --> 01:22:38,240 Speaker 9: rised the level of absurdity of what you need to 1710 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:42,280 Speaker 9: do to convince legislators. And that's where this has to 1711 01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:44,560 Speaker 9: come from. Right, We need we need major changes in 1712 01:22:44,640 --> 01:22:48,200 Speaker 9: our regulation of insurance companies and laws. What's it going 1713 01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:50,439 Speaker 9: to take to get these people off the dime and 1714 01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:53,280 Speaker 9: make them understand that we need to move forward and 1715 01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:54,240 Speaker 9: make the system better. 1716 01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:56,840 Speaker 2: Well, you know, I thought of the Sandy Hook allerg 1717 01:22:57,840 --> 01:22:59,960 Speaker 2: but I don't know if I entirely agree that because 1718 01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:02,560 Speaker 2: there you have, Okay, you have a second amendment, we 1719 01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:05,479 Speaker 2: have second membright to arm ourselves and that is a 1720 01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:08,400 Speaker 2: I don't think European countries understand the second amoment, how 1721 01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:09,840 Speaker 2: powerful it is and what you can do. And we 1722 01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:12,760 Speaker 2: put a lot of laws in place to again keep 1723 01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:15,200 Speaker 2: guns on the hands of criminals, but also impacts most 1724 01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:17,840 Speaker 2: most people don't guns, are law abiding citizens. And there's 1725 01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:19,880 Speaker 2: also a mental health component. Use a physician know that, 1726 01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:22,920 Speaker 2: and you know what about people who commit domestic violence acts? 1727 01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:24,920 Speaker 2: And well, we have HIPPA, but we can't disclose. And 1728 01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:27,519 Speaker 2: when you fill out your federal firearms form, you know 1729 01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:29,760 Speaker 2: you may have mental health issues, but you're not going 1730 01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:31,120 Speaker 2: to admit it, or maybe you don't know what you 1731 01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,000 Speaker 2: think the rest of the world's crazy and you're normal 1732 01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,439 Speaker 2: and you go, yeah, I'm perfectly fine. And then they 1733 01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:38,200 Speaker 2: go on a mass shooting. But there's none of that 1734 01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:40,280 Speaker 2: in play here. You don't have that. But when you 1735 01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:43,360 Speaker 2: have both sides agreeing right that the healthcare system is 1736 01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:45,920 Speaker 2: broken needs to be fixed, there's no hey, there's an 1737 01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:49,240 Speaker 2: amendment that says you're not entitled to healthcare, or there's 1738 01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:51,280 Speaker 2: no opposition this. We all agree in the same thing, 1739 01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:53,320 Speaker 2: and yet we can't do anything to me. That's the 1740 01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:54,760 Speaker 2: most frustrating part about this. 1741 01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 9: Yeah, I completely agree that they're not now necessarily and now. 1742 01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:03,800 Speaker 9: I guess, however, think about this that the Republicans are 1743 01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:08,040 Speaker 9: denying the fact right now, they're denying the fact that 1744 01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:13,320 Speaker 9: cutting Medicaid and Medicare in the big beautiful bill. They're 1745 01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:15,600 Speaker 9: denying the fact that that is going to cause a 1746 01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:18,880 Speaker 9: disaster in American medicine when everybody knows that it's going 1747 01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:20,600 Speaker 9: to hospitals. 1748 01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:22,280 Speaker 10: Are already teeter tottering right. 1749 01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:25,120 Speaker 9: I mean, the majority of hospitalsiness country are operating in 1750 01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:30,760 Speaker 9: the red. Seventeen percent of hospitals last year either bankrupted 1751 01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:35,000 Speaker 9: or came close to bankruptcy. And these are royal hospitals, 1752 01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:38,760 Speaker 9: creating these healthcare deserts. I mean, if the Medicaid thing 1753 01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:42,000 Speaker 9: goes in to effect and the hospitals can no longer 1754 01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:47,840 Speaker 9: rely on that revenue, it could actually be a complete catastrophe, 1755 01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,679 Speaker 9: and the Republicans need to know that, but they're they're 1756 01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:51,240 Speaker 9: in denial. 1757 01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:54,920 Speaker 2: Would that be the medical nine eleven we're talking about? 1758 01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:59,640 Speaker 9: I think absolutely, Scott, that could be the disaster that 1759 01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,439 Speaker 9: finally which people up. But the problem is that once 1760 01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:06,280 Speaker 9: it happens, yeah, getting reversing it it may take years 1761 01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:08,320 Speaker 9: and people are going to die. 1762 01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:08,720 Speaker 10: Because of it. 1763 01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,360 Speaker 2: I have a family in rural Ohio. You listening, you 1764 01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:12,960 Speaker 2: might have that as well, or like at least you 1765 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:15,559 Speaker 2: know someone because you know, we're in a big city. 1766 01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:18,240 Speaker 2: We're in Cincinnati, Ohio. We have Columbus, we have Cleveland. 1767 01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:21,439 Speaker 2: We have mid sized cities like Dayton and Toledo and 1768 01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:24,640 Speaker 2: elsewhere in our listening area. But the bulk of all 1769 01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:27,679 Speaker 2: eighty eight counties are pretty rural in Ohio. And I've 1770 01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:32,040 Speaker 2: seen firsthand clinics and hospitals closed because they just don't 1771 01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:34,360 Speaker 2: have the people coming in and can't afford the staffing 1772 01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:36,920 Speaker 2: and everything, all the compliance and everything else in order 1773 01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:39,760 Speaker 2: to operate a modern hospital. There's just it's not profitable. 1774 01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:42,280 Speaker 2: And I know a lot of people cringe at the 1775 01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:45,840 Speaker 2: states taking over health care, but I don't know, can 1776 01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:47,720 Speaker 2: this be? And we tell you, yeah, I look, I go, 1777 01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,880 Speaker 2: all right, well, we know healthcare. We've seen hospitals clothes 1778 01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:52,800 Speaker 2: in rural areas. It's happening as we speak right now. 1779 01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:55,360 Speaker 2: It doesn't get to play simply because it's flyover country. 1780 01:25:56,520 --> 01:25:58,760 Speaker 2: People lose all their healthcare, they lose all hope. At 1781 01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:00,840 Speaker 2: that point, we're gonna have people eyeing of things that 1782 01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:05,160 Speaker 2: were easily fixable just weeks and months and years ago 1783 01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:08,080 Speaker 2: as opposed to to right now and at some point 1784 01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:09,760 Speaker 2: that it's going to come to a tipping point, because 1785 01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:11,760 Speaker 2: you're right, these hospitals can't run profitable. But you look, 1786 01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:14,280 Speaker 2: listen to this can go oad a minute. If every man, woman, 1787 01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:16,720 Speaker 2: a child, we're spending like thirteen thousand dollars plus on 1788 01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:19,760 Speaker 2: average for our healthcare system. We were it's not that 1789 01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:21,800 Speaker 2: we're not spending money. Where's the money going? 1790 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:25,200 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Well, it's going into the pockets of 1791 01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:28,640 Speaker 10: people like in private equity, for example, they've taken over 1792 01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:31,080 Speaker 10: a lot of these hospital systems and managed to bankrupt 1793 01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:34,120 Speaker 10: them and close them for profit. But if you recall 1794 01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:36,360 Speaker 10: in the book A Failure to Treat, there's a story 1795 01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:40,000 Speaker 10: about a baby and a parents who were trying to 1796 01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:42,559 Speaker 10: get their baby to a hospital in a rural early 1797 01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:45,920 Speaker 10: This is an affluent couple. This isn't just about this 1798 01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:49,559 Speaker 10: isn't just about an indigen people. This is everybody trying. 1799 01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:51,400 Speaker 9: To get their baby to a hospital. And when they 1800 01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:54,160 Speaker 9: pull up to the emergency room, the hospital had closed 1801 01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:57,040 Speaker 9: and they ended up having another driv another twenty five 1802 01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:59,360 Speaker 9: miles to get to a hospital. By the time they 1803 01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:02,680 Speaker 9: got there, they was beyond fixing and died and that 1804 01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,760 Speaker 9: these are true stories. This is a true story of 1805 01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:07,679 Speaker 9: what can happen in our healthcare system. 1806 01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:08,200 Speaker 10: And you're right. 1807 01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,680 Speaker 9: If that starts happening on a big, high level. 1808 01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:13,519 Speaker 10: Big scale, it could be. 1809 01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:15,759 Speaker 9: It could be the Armygeddon that you're talking about. 1810 01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:18,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I get the private equity element too, but 1811 01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:20,080 Speaker 2: they come in and go, hey, listen, you know you're 1812 01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:24,280 Speaker 2: not profitable, Well, we'll buy a stake, we'll buy you out, 1813 01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:26,439 Speaker 2: we'll take you And of course they're about squeezing the 1814 01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:30,000 Speaker 2: last remaining dollars out there. And that is the nature 1815 01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:35,040 Speaker 2: of how our enterprises, the conditions in which we engage 1816 01:27:35,080 --> 01:27:38,400 Speaker 2: in America today, of course, is capitalism. And that's the 1817 01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:40,360 Speaker 2: ugly side of it, to be sure. But you know, 1818 01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:42,560 Speaker 2: it used to be a government be kind of like 1819 01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,240 Speaker 2: a referee in these things, and that's long since gone 1820 01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:47,800 Speaker 2: away with modern politics the way it is. He is 1821 01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:51,280 Speaker 2: doctor Peter Cowi. He's a cardiologist, public health expert. Failure 1822 01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:53,080 Speaker 2: to treat as the book and where things are headed 1823 01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:56,519 Speaker 2: here with our broken healthcare system that both Republicans and 1824 01:27:56,560 --> 01:27:59,720 Speaker 2: Democrats agree on, it's broken and has to change. There's 1825 01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:01,559 Speaker 2: got to be a change age in company. He believes 1826 01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:04,799 Speaker 2: it's going to be more healthcare deserts, meaning rural hospital 1827 01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:08,519 Speaker 2: shutting down and people dying, uh, largely from trauma. I mean, 1828 01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,280 Speaker 2: you're telling me that people can literally bleed out because 1829 01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:14,519 Speaker 2: there's no physician or emergency room to treat them in 1830 01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:16,559 Speaker 2: a rural area. And we're talking about people who are 1831 01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:20,800 Speaker 2: farmers a lot of agricultural areas. And as we take 1832 01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:23,120 Speaker 2: the information super Highway and put it more rural areas 1833 01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:25,360 Speaker 2: because of the technology, well we'll see people who have 1834 01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:28,160 Speaker 2: met in a motor vehicle accident or you know, cut 1835 01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:30,040 Speaker 2: themselves of the saw that wind up dying, is what 1836 01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:32,639 Speaker 2: you're saying, when just a few weeks ago they could 1837 01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:35,160 Speaker 2: go to the clinic and get sutured up. That's kind 1838 01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:38,840 Speaker 2: of and it's like an almost third world It sounds like, uh. 1839 01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:41,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, well, you know there are many areas you're write about, 1840 01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:45,720 Speaker 9: absolutely right about trauma. Think about obstetrical obstetrical care. How 1841 01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:48,639 Speaker 9: many hospitals not they might not necessarily closed, but they've 1842 01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:52,280 Speaker 9: closed their obstetrical programs, so women have no place to 1843 01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:56,040 Speaker 9: deliver their baby. And and there's many reasons for that. 1844 01:28:56,439 --> 01:28:59,160 Speaker 9: For the reasons we just discussed. There's there are financial issues, 1845 01:28:59,200 --> 01:29:03,840 Speaker 9: but there's also liability. Now doctors are not going into obstetrics. 1846 01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:06,640 Speaker 9: We have a severe shortage of obstetrical physicians in the 1847 01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:08,360 Speaker 9: United States, especially in. 1848 01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:10,120 Speaker 10: The West and the Midwest. 1849 01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:13,800 Speaker 9: And so you're a woman, you're going to deliver your baby, 1850 01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:16,080 Speaker 9: you have to drive fifty miles to find someplace where 1851 01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:17,280 Speaker 9: they'll deliver your baby for you. 1852 01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:18,000 Speaker 6: Think about that. 1853 01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:22,480 Speaker 2: You can hang on after your water breaks. 1854 01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:26,599 Speaker 9: Right, I mean, it's insane, but that's exactly what's happening. 1855 01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:29,280 Speaker 9: And the thing that's really maddening about this is that 1856 01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:33,439 Speaker 9: the public does occasionally take notice of this stuff, but 1857 01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:35,760 Speaker 9: they hadn't risen up to the extent that I thought 1858 01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:38,240 Speaker 9: that they might. And the book is really kind of 1859 01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:40,360 Speaker 9: a clarion call for people, the. 1860 01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:43,679 Speaker 10: Public as well as practitioners to speak up, to talk 1861 01:29:43,760 --> 01:29:46,200 Speaker 10: to their legislators, to make sure that they understand that 1862 01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:48,360 Speaker 10: this is an initiative they really have to deal with. 1863 01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:53,360 Speaker 2: He's doctor Peter Cowey's cardiologists public health expert. The book 1864 01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:55,519 Speaker 2: is a failure to treat and what things look like 1865 01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:59,599 Speaker 2: maybe in a not so future dystopian future for that matter, 1866 01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:01,479 Speaker 2: it sounds it's just dope being to me and like 1867 01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:04,200 Speaker 2: the stuff of movies. But this is reality. If things 1868 01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:06,360 Speaker 2: continue to go the way they are, the question is 1869 01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:08,200 Speaker 2: who wakes up and says, all right, we got to 1870 01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:11,320 Speaker 2: blow this thing up. You know, government subsidized healthcare costs 1871 01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:14,280 Speaker 2: way more money, and tell me, subsidize something. It becomes 1872 01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:17,320 Speaker 2: grossly more inefficient and really doesn't help those who would 1873 01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:20,160 Speaker 2: serve to help, because, let's face it, the insurance companies, 1874 01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:21,880 Speaker 2: the middle men, are the ones taking the money from 1875 01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:24,920 Speaker 2: the government here as the holdout continues on the other side, 1876 01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:26,960 Speaker 2: if we just go, well, you know what, we can't 1877 01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,360 Speaker 2: have socialized medicine. Well what's your alternative? 1878 01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:29,559 Speaker 1: Well? 1879 01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:32,360 Speaker 2: Nothing. Maybe the simple solution is as simply, and I've 1880 01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:33,920 Speaker 2: said this for a long time, the easiest thing to 1881 01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,200 Speaker 2: be doctor Cowie would be to take away the burden 1882 01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:39,640 Speaker 2: for providers like yourself. Imagine if you don't have to 1883 01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:43,919 Speaker 2: employ an entire team behind the scenes for medical billing, coding, Medicare, 1884 01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:46,560 Speaker 2: Medicaid and all that nonsense, and just go listen, you 1885 01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:49,560 Speaker 2: get sick, here's how much it costs. Pay it or 1886 01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:53,680 Speaker 2: get for cast drivic situations, Just get catastrophic insurance and 1887 01:30:53,800 --> 01:30:56,639 Speaker 2: pay that much Like you do your homeowners your auto insurance, 1888 01:30:56,800 --> 01:30:59,120 Speaker 2: your life insurance. Go to a system like that and 1889 01:30:59,160 --> 01:31:01,360 Speaker 2: get your employer the health all of the business providing healthcare. 1890 01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:02,679 Speaker 2: I think would solve the problem. 1891 01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:07,320 Speaker 9: I think what you're suggesting has tremendous merit, and there 1892 01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:10,360 Speaker 9: are many people who believe that you're correct. That we've 1893 01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:17,400 Speaker 9: created an infrastructure of health insurance companies, administrators. We have 1894 01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:20,280 Speaker 9: more administrators in our hospital than we have nurses. Yeah, 1895 01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:25,879 Speaker 9: to get rid of this gigantic infrastructure that we probably 1896 01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:28,360 Speaker 9: don't need and return to some kind of a more 1897 01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:32,000 Speaker 9: simplistic approach to payment. And I completely agree with your 1898 01:31:32,080 --> 01:31:35,160 Speaker 9: catastrophic insurance for those situations where things get a little 1899 01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:38,080 Speaker 9: out of control and you're very ill. But yeah, it's 1900 01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:40,720 Speaker 9: going to take people to wake up and have a 1901 01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:44,400 Speaker 9: little common sense about this, and hopefully the book and 1902 01:31:44,920 --> 01:31:47,400 Speaker 9: your radio program will get people. 1903 01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:48,240 Speaker 10: Motivated in the right now. 1904 01:31:48,280 --> 01:31:50,320 Speaker 2: All we have to do is eliminate the administrative and 1905 01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:53,880 Speaker 2: bureaucratic class that's a problem. It's too big in medical medical, 1906 01:31:54,360 --> 01:31:56,280 Speaker 2: it's too big in government, it's too big in schools. 1907 01:31:56,360 --> 01:31:58,599 Speaker 2: You name where the problem is, it's because we've got 1908 01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:01,360 Speaker 2: a bloated administrative and or credit class. That's the problem. 1909 01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:04,040 Speaker 2: All the best doctor luck with the book, Yeah. 1910 01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:04,880 Speaker 10: I appreciate it very much. 1911 01:32:04,880 --> 01:32:06,000 Speaker 9: Scott, have a good one. 1912 01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:07,599 Speaker 2: I've got to get a news update. Aroun a little 1913 01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:10,200 Speaker 2: bit late here, very lates on what's happening in Minnesota. 1914 01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:14,040 Speaker 2: More tragedy in our lives here.

There's plenty of people who are sick and 1946 01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:44,720 Speaker 2: it's not fixable. So I will take this, you know, 1947 01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:46,800 Speaker 2: you know, kids will lie of the people are here, 1948 01:33:46,960 --> 01:33:48,920 Speaker 2: break my chops about this stuff?

It's like 1951 01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:52,120 Speaker 2: it's you know, it's like having a car. You hit 1952 01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:54,200 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars. You got to get new spark plugs, 1953 01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:58,120 Speaker 2: timing chain, diming belts, gotta get done. You gotta let's 1954 01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:02,000 Speaker 2: swap out the transmission fluid and it's one hundred thousand miles. 1955 01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:02,439 Speaker 9: It's like that. 1956 01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:03,280 Speaker 3: That's what this is. 1957 01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:06,320 Speaker 7: No, I do feel very blessed because the left knee 1958 01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:09,400 Speaker 7: has recovered to a point where for the most part 1959 01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:11,679 Speaker 7: it should be able to support me as I recover 1960 01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:12,639 Speaker 7: on the right knee. 1961 01:34:14,240 --> 01:34:20,360 Speaker 6: But you know, it's it's not without its concerns, and yeah. 1962 01:34:20,560 --> 01:34:22,280 Speaker 2: The rehab is a hard part. It's like an and 1963 01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:24,240 Speaker 2: I will say you are committed, because normally you give 1964 01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:26,080 Speaker 2: up on stuff, but this you've been like, well, no, 1965 01:34:26,200 --> 01:34:29,640 Speaker 2: I can't really tenacious about this whole things. Absolutely, All right, 1966 01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:32,320 Speaker 2: let's talk real estate related stuff, tiny, tim, what do 1967 01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:32,599 Speaker 2: you got? 1968 01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:33,320 Speaker 6: All right? 1969 01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:36,719 Speaker 7: Well, President Trump gave us some big news, big news 1970 01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:39,760 Speaker 7: in the world of real estate yesterday. He announced that 1971 01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:45,639 Speaker 7: some of the most aggressive housing reform in American history 1972 01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:49,960 Speaker 7: is on the way. He wants to prohibit large institutional 1973 01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:54,280 Speaker 7: investors from buying single family homes, saying that you know, 1974 01:34:54,920 --> 01:34:59,000 Speaker 7: homes should be owned by people and not corporations. I 1975 01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:05,080 Speaker 7: think that's real, really interesting, and I personally find it 1976 01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:08,240 Speaker 7: quite fascinating. Now, the one thing is we don't have 1977 01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:12,479 Speaker 7: any details. It's just him talking on yeah right when. 1978 01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:12,840 Speaker 9: He was on. 1979 01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:16,439 Speaker 7: It doesn't mean anything yet, but I do think it has. 1980 01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:22,719 Speaker 7: It definitely has some momentum because the stock market definitely 1981 01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:26,120 Speaker 7: reacted yesterday. A lot of the Democrats have said, hey, 1982 01:35:26,200 --> 01:35:28,040 Speaker 7: we've been telling you that we need to do this 1983 01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:32,599 Speaker 7: for many years, so it may have some bipartisan support, 1984 01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:36,400 Speaker 7: which would be very very interesting. So the one thing 1985 01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:39,480 Speaker 7: is this is this is a quote I am immediately 1986 01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:44,400 Speaker 7: taking steps to ban large institutional investors from buying more 1987 01:35:45,160 --> 01:35:46,360 Speaker 7: single family homes. 1988 01:35:46,439 --> 01:35:52,519 Speaker 6: Okay, okay, I feel it sounds like, yeah, I feel. 1989 01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:54,760 Speaker 7: Like the damage is done and the homes that these 1990 01:35:54,880 --> 01:35:59,120 Speaker 7: companies are holding, they're going to continue to hold, right, 1991 01:35:59,600 --> 01:36:02,920 Speaker 7: And so it's interesting the mega investors, so it doesn't 1992 01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:05,360 Speaker 7: look like they're going after he would be going after 1993 01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:09,200 Speaker 7: the mom and pop investors, the people that have like 1994 01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:13,560 Speaker 7: fifty properties or less. They're looking for the big, the 1995 01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:19,280 Speaker 7: big guns. So interestingly enough, there's only thirty two institutional 1996 01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:24,600 Speaker 7: investors that own more than a thousand single family properties. 1997 01:36:25,560 --> 01:36:28,240 Speaker 7: I find that's interesting. And you know how many properties 1998 01:36:28,479 --> 01:36:28,920 Speaker 7: they own? 1999 01:36:29,720 --> 01:36:30,559 Speaker 2: Eleventy billion? 2000 01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:34,200 Speaker 6: No, only about five hundred thousand across the country. 2001 01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:34,960 Speaker 2: Really a lot. 2002 01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:38,120 Speaker 6: That's like a drop in the bucket. No, yeah, that's 2003 01:36:38,360 --> 01:36:39,160 Speaker 6: not very many. 2004 01:36:39,320 --> 01:36:43,479 Speaker 7: So it may not be the impact that all of 2005 01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:47,000 Speaker 7: the headlines are saying, because you know, Devil's in the details. 2006 01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:47,640 Speaker 6: It always is. 2007 01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:51,479 Speaker 7: And it's really interesting because one in three in the 2008 01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:53,840 Speaker 7: last year, so in twenty twenty five, one in three 2009 01:36:53,880 --> 01:36:58,000 Speaker 7: homes were purchased by investors. But it doesn't mean that 2010 01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:02,320 Speaker 7: these mega investors are the ones that are buying these properties. 2011 01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:03,720 Speaker 6: It's the people who are. 2012 01:37:03,720 --> 01:37:05,920 Speaker 7: Doing the buy and flip, the people that are going 2013 01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:08,760 Speaker 7: to hold them and build a small portfolio so that 2014 01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:14,240 Speaker 7: they can help pay for their generational wealth. But it 2015 01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:18,200 Speaker 7: doesn't necessarily mean it's these big guys. So you're going 2016 01:37:18,280 --> 01:37:22,880 Speaker 7: after the big guys and the results interestingly on the 2017 01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:26,720 Speaker 7: stock market. So open Door is a company that does 2018 01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:31,920 Speaker 7: business in Cincinnati. They buy and sell properties. They're trading 2019 01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:36,439 Speaker 7: down eleven and a half percent yesterday. The stocks from 2020 01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:40,960 Speaker 7: some of the other big names, Blackstone, Invitation Homes and 2021 01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:44,880 Speaker 7: American Homes for Rent. Now, American Homes for Rent has 2022 01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:49,200 Speaker 7: a very big presence in the Cincinnati market, especially in Mainville. 2023 01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:50,360 Speaker 6: There's a couple of. 2024 01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:55,800 Speaker 7: Neighborhoods that have Back in the two thousand and eight 2025 01:37:55,840 --> 01:37:57,519 Speaker 7: two thousand and nine we had the crash and we 2026 01:37:57,640 --> 01:38:01,000 Speaker 7: had so many people going into foreclosure. American Homes for 2027 01:38:01,120 --> 01:38:04,920 Speaker 7: Rent bought a ton I mean hundreds and hundreds of 2028 01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:08,960 Speaker 7: properties in our area, and they are continuing to hold 2029 01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:12,479 Speaker 7: them and rent them for pretty high prices. And so 2030 01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:16,040 Speaker 7: the stocks for American homes for rent was down about 2031 01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:19,280 Speaker 7: seven percent yesterday. Now it may bounce back, you know, 2032 01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:23,679 Speaker 7: day to day, everything changes. But I find it's really 2033 01:38:23,960 --> 01:38:26,600 Speaker 7: I think it's very very fascinating because we always have 2034 01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:29,879 Speaker 7: to find a bad guy, and you look for the biggest, 2035 01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:34,400 Speaker 7: biggest guys or gals I suppose in the room, and 2036 01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:37,479 Speaker 7: you look at the corporations to blame for all of 2037 01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:41,240 Speaker 7: the drama and the misdeeds of whoever. 2038 01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:41,640 Speaker 9: You know. 2039 01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:44,880 Speaker 6: So I think it is very interesting. I think that 2040 01:38:45,040 --> 01:38:47,200 Speaker 6: it is something that we're going to watch. 2041 01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:52,000 Speaker 7: You know, if it slows down the institutional investors from 2042 01:38:52,040 --> 01:38:55,160 Speaker 7: buying more single family homes, will it affect us day 2043 01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:55,479 Speaker 7: to day? 2044 01:38:56,439 --> 01:38:58,880 Speaker 6: Probably not? Probably not. 2045 01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:01,679 Speaker 2: I think what's interesting about a couple of things. First 2046 01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:04,439 Speaker 2: of all, the idea of these companies come in Blackstone whatever, 2047 01:39:04,640 --> 01:39:07,840 Speaker 2: and it's largely it's private equity, right, private equity. They 2048 01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:10,559 Speaker 2: don't want generally don't want to own things long term. 2049 01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:12,280 Speaker 2: They want to get their money maker money, turn it, 2050 01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:16,519 Speaker 2: chop it up, whatever they do, you know, become vultures essentially, 2051 01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:19,280 Speaker 2: and that's but that's the nature. That's part of capitalism. 2052 01:39:19,439 --> 01:39:21,400 Speaker 2: They'll come and pick the bones and what's salvageable. 2053 01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:21,600 Speaker 9: Is it? 2054 01:39:21,680 --> 01:39:23,040 Speaker 2: Kind of like big boy, big Boy on Okay, well, 2055 01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:25,720 Speaker 2: what are we gonna keep? The tartar sauce is good? Right, 2056 01:39:25,800 --> 01:39:27,680 Speaker 2: we're gonna We're gonna continue to do that. Will sell 2057 01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:29,720 Speaker 2: the pumpkin pies and everything else that's a burger. I 2058 01:39:29,760 --> 01:39:32,360 Speaker 2: can get that anywhere. So they take what's profitable and 2059 01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:36,080 Speaker 2: then turn it around. If they own this stuff right now, 2060 01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:38,320 Speaker 2: I would think at some point they're going to wind 2061 01:39:38,400 --> 01:39:40,519 Speaker 2: up exiting and getting out of this business, wouldn't they 2062 01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:42,880 Speaker 2: if they can't turn a high profit every quarter. 2063 01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:47,439 Speaker 7: Yeah, especially since these corporations are stock driven. Yeah, you know, 2064 01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:50,640 Speaker 7: holding these properties long term, it could and it may 2065 01:39:50,720 --> 01:39:52,280 Speaker 7: put five hundred thousand properties. 2066 01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:56,479 Speaker 6: Now this is nationwide. That's nothing. Yeah, it's not very much. 2067 01:39:56,640 --> 01:40:00,679 Speaker 7: So if it affects the bottom line, it maybe cheaper 2068 01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:03,599 Speaker 7: for them to diversify and go ahead and sell off 2069 01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:06,240 Speaker 7: and find a new way, you know, go into more 2070 01:40:06,320 --> 01:40:10,080 Speaker 7: of the commercial market rather than the and they may 2071 01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:10,960 Speaker 7: already be in that. 2072 01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:13,200 Speaker 6: That's just not my expertise. 2073 01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:16,040 Speaker 7: I'm in the single family realm for the most part, 2074 01:40:16,160 --> 01:40:19,280 Speaker 7: so you know, that's it's it's very very interesting. But 2075 01:40:19,400 --> 01:40:23,840 Speaker 7: still one in three homes bought in twenty twenty five 2076 01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:28,720 Speaker 7: were purchased by investors. And again it doesn't have to 2077 01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:32,880 Speaker 7: be these large institutional ones. And I just I just 2078 01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:36,320 Speaker 7: find that it's we're always looking for a scapegoat. We're 2079 01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:39,680 Speaker 7: always looking for someone to blame. And you know, the 2080 01:40:39,800 --> 01:40:44,519 Speaker 7: big thing that we need is more inventory, and we've 2081 01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:46,880 Speaker 7: been saying we need more inventory. The other thing that 2082 01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:50,280 Speaker 7: a lot of the prognosticators who are looking at twenty 2083 01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:53,519 Speaker 7: twenty six, they're saying the interest rates still need to 2084 01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:56,160 Speaker 7: come down a little bit to make the market a 2085 01:40:56,320 --> 01:40:59,800 Speaker 7: little bit more balanced. And we have homes that are 2086 01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:04,200 Speaker 7: on the market. There are huge opportunities out there for 2087 01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:06,400 Speaker 7: people who want to buy a home. I think a 2088 01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:08,760 Speaker 7: lot of younger people don't really want to buy a 2089 01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:09,600 Speaker 7: home right now, and. 2090 01:41:09,640 --> 01:41:12,320 Speaker 2: They want to rent, which opens the opportunity. 2091 01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:14,160 Speaker 7: For they don't want the Yeah, a lot of the 2092 01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:16,960 Speaker 7: younger people and I'm going to say younger people that 2093 01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:22,120 Speaker 7: is thirty and younger, don't want to buy because they 2094 01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:24,439 Speaker 7: don't want to a be tied down they don't want 2095 01:41:24,439 --> 01:41:26,760 Speaker 7: to have to fix stuff. They don't know how to 2096 01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:29,400 Speaker 7: fix stuff, they don't want to learn how to fix stuff. 2097 01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:31,120 Speaker 6: They want somebody else to do it. 2098 01:41:31,680 --> 01:41:33,519 Speaker 7: And you and you and I both know we have 2099 01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:37,439 Speaker 7: fewer people that are around to fix stuff. So we 2100 01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:42,000 Speaker 7: have an imbalance in the entire like real estate circle. 2101 01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:44,439 Speaker 6: But you know, I don't know it. 2102 01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:50,599 Speaker 7: It's an interesting topic of will the you know, saying 2103 01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:52,400 Speaker 7: large institutional investors, so. 2104 01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:54,720 Speaker 2: They just get well, I think something else to look 2105 01:41:54,760 --> 01:41:57,360 Speaker 2: at is, let's let's face it. They came on following 2106 01:41:57,439 --> 01:41:59,880 Speaker 2: the two thousand and eight home foreclosure, right the the 2107 01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:02,320 Speaker 2: housing crisis that we had, and they came in and 2108 01:42:02,920 --> 01:42:05,599 Speaker 2: they swooped in and cheap because you buy cheap, sell high, 2109 01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:08,240 Speaker 2: that's how you make money. They bought them. When things 2110 01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:10,559 Speaker 2: properties are in distressed, they fix them up. They rented 2111 01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:14,599 Speaker 2: them out and increase that portfolio. Okay, so we now 2112 01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:16,679 Speaker 2: ban that from happening. What happens if we have another 2113 01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:19,000 Speaker 2: housing crash at some point in the future, and then 2114 01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:19,880 Speaker 2: who's going to come. 2115 01:42:19,800 --> 01:42:20,880 Speaker 10: In and do that? 2116 01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:25,240 Speaker 7: And I would rather have and we've talked about this before, 2117 01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:29,640 Speaker 7: rather than having a whole bunch of vacant homes. I 2118 01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:32,680 Speaker 7: would rather have an investor come in by it and 2119 01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:35,360 Speaker 7: have a family living in that home, because if you 2120 01:42:35,520 --> 01:42:38,560 Speaker 7: have a vacant home for long periods of time, it 2121 01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:41,479 Speaker 7: just gets worse and worse and worse. It brings down 2122 01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:45,880 Speaker 7: the entire neighborhood, the entire community. So I would say 2123 01:42:46,280 --> 01:42:50,200 Speaker 7: some institutional and some investors actually saved the day back 2124 01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:51,840 Speaker 7: in two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine 2125 01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:56,280 Speaker 7: when our economy was really having a difficult time and 2126 01:42:56,439 --> 01:42:59,840 Speaker 7: the whole real estate interest industry was having you know, 2127 01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:02,840 Speaker 7: it was crashed, It had totally crashed, but it was 2128 01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:06,439 Speaker 7: because we had too much inventory. The balance was way off. 2129 01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:09,240 Speaker 7: Right now, our balance we are in the process of 2130 01:43:09,439 --> 01:43:13,600 Speaker 7: rebalancing the market. And by rebalancing the market is you know, 2131 01:43:14,120 --> 01:43:17,760 Speaker 7: we need a little bit more inventory guests. We need 2132 01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:22,200 Speaker 7: more buyers out there who are approved and able to purchase, and. 2133 01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:24,040 Speaker 6: They have to want to purchase. 2134 01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:28,040 Speaker 7: You know, if the demand is for rentals, guess what 2135 01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:31,920 Speaker 7: that's there are people out there who will provide that service. 2136 01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:35,320 Speaker 7: They will provide an opportunity for you to rent. Now, 2137 01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:37,519 Speaker 7: it's going to be a high price, and there are 2138 01:43:37,560 --> 01:43:40,840 Speaker 7: so many people that are they are renting at twenty 2139 01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:43,760 Speaker 7: five hundred dollars a month, three thousand dollars a month, 2140 01:43:43,880 --> 01:43:46,400 Speaker 7: and you think that is absolutely crazy because you can 2141 01:43:46,560 --> 01:43:50,080 Speaker 7: get a mortgage for that amount, and but you know 2142 01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:53,160 Speaker 7: you have to pick and choose. How's your credit were. 2143 01:43:53,439 --> 01:43:55,439 Speaker 2: I mean, we're obviously in a renders market that's not 2144 01:43:55,479 --> 01:43:57,320 Speaker 2: going to change anything. It time assume people who want 2145 01:43:57,320 --> 01:43:58,920 Speaker 2: to rent rather than buy, and there's a whole bunch 2146 01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:01,960 Speaker 2: of factors into that. But you know, the other thing 2147 01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:04,479 Speaker 2: I look at too is, you know, we talked about 2148 01:44:04,880 --> 01:44:08,080 Speaker 2: these big corporations, the genius in the details like anything. 2149 01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:11,200 Speaker 2: What is that definition? What what's an institutional builer? Is 2150 01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:13,320 Speaker 2: that a publicly Is that only applied to a publicly 2151 01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:15,920 Speaker 2: traded company? What if I don't know, you're a local 2152 01:44:16,040 --> 01:44:18,280 Speaker 2: person and you own I don't know, a couple hundred 2153 01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:21,360 Speaker 2: homes that you're and there's there's people in Cincinnata they're 2154 01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:23,280 Speaker 2: doing that. You know, we're not into that that rare 2155 01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:25,519 Speaker 2: air ourselves. We got as many as we can handle 2156 01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:28,160 Speaker 2: on our own because we're in the real estate business. 2157 01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:29,880 Speaker 2: But I look at it going, Okay, well, what does 2158 01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:32,000 Speaker 2: that mean for the mom and pop people like us 2159 01:44:32,160 --> 01:44:35,840 Speaker 2: that have put sweat equity and all our savings into 2160 01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:39,160 Speaker 2: real estate properties and continue to parlay that into more 2161 01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:42,800 Speaker 2: properties to a certain point. What does that mean for 2162 01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:45,320 Speaker 2: someone like us or you know, the little guy I 2163 01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:47,400 Speaker 2: just you know instante here. Oh yeah, it's just the 2164 01:44:47,439 --> 01:44:49,439 Speaker 2: big guys a big well. Where do you draw that line? 2165 01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:50,519 Speaker 9: You know? 2166 01:44:50,720 --> 01:44:52,320 Speaker 6: Is it the number of properties? 2167 01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:54,160 Speaker 7: So if you own a thousand, we don't know, more 2168 01:44:54,520 --> 01:44:58,280 Speaker 7: so then they're going to own nine hundred nights. 2169 01:44:58,360 --> 01:44:59,880 Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna apply to you, but then 2170 01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:02,200 Speaker 2: then again, you never know. And I'll leave with the 2171 01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:05,120 Speaker 2: final point on this thing too. Here's a parallel for you. 2172 01:45:05,200 --> 01:45:07,160 Speaker 2: When it comes to careful what you wish for, you 2173 01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:09,720 Speaker 2: might just get it all right, No, institutional investors, we 2174 01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:12,000 Speaker 2: have another market to you know, housing market tanks in 2175 01:45:12,040 --> 01:45:13,519 Speaker 2: the future. At some point, what do you do then, 2176 01:45:13,520 --> 01:45:15,799 Speaker 2: Who's going to come in and buy stuff at distressed 2177 01:45:15,800 --> 01:45:18,920 Speaker 2: prices and turn it around and reset the market. It's 2178 01:45:19,000 --> 01:45:20,800 Speaker 2: kind of like we see this ourselves because we own 2179 01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:24,040 Speaker 2: a couple town homes that are involved with hoa's and 2180 01:45:24,320 --> 01:45:26,519 Speaker 2: it's kind of interest because the hoa's generally made up 2181 01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:29,800 Speaker 2: of older residents and they don't like renters for whatever reason. 2182 01:45:29,880 --> 01:45:32,200 Speaker 2: And I could see, you know, some some sort of 2183 01:45:32,240 --> 01:45:34,760 Speaker 2: distrust there because they're transient, but they don't want to 2184 01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:37,000 Speaker 2: so they'll they'll ban you from renting properties in the future. 2185 01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:38,600 Speaker 2: The grands father, then they'll do everything to try and 2186 01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:41,280 Speaker 2: drive you out of the neighborhood. If your own properties 2187 01:45:41,320 --> 01:45:44,240 Speaker 2: at rent, okay, great, we're only going to what happens 2188 01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:47,000 Speaker 2: when you have a recession. And okay, so instead of 2189 01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:49,120 Speaker 2: someone coming in and renting it and taking care of 2190 01:45:49,160 --> 01:45:51,479 Speaker 2: the property, now you have all these vacant properties next 2191 01:45:51,520 --> 01:45:54,000 Speaker 2: to you, your neighbors who are quote unquote owners, not renters, 2192 01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:57,599 Speaker 2: and they can no longer pay their mortgage and they default. 2193 01:45:57,680 --> 01:46:00,120 Speaker 2: That's going to drive your property values down even more 2194 01:46:00,200 --> 01:46:02,519 Speaker 2: than the renters. Would you need that in those And 2195 01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:04,360 Speaker 2: I think it's very short sighted of a lot of 2196 01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:07,160 Speaker 2: people to go, we want no renters in Urha. Well, 2197 01:46:07,479 --> 01:46:09,640 Speaker 2: guess what when the market tanks, you're gonna wish you 2198 01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:10,759 Speaker 2: had renters. 2199 01:46:11,160 --> 01:46:14,120 Speaker 7: Well, and that has that has changed so much in 2200 01:46:14,240 --> 01:46:17,560 Speaker 7: the last fifteen years since the stock market crash. So 2201 01:46:17,720 --> 01:46:20,880 Speaker 7: many condos and it's really mostly the condos with the 2202 01:46:20,920 --> 01:46:25,799 Speaker 7: condo the really strong monthly condo associations where they're banning 2203 01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:29,720 Speaker 7: renters because they just don't know who their neighbors are necessarily, 2204 01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:31,519 Speaker 7: so it's some of the old. 2205 01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:34,320 Speaker 2: Nobody does anymore look in the neighborhood. Now you don't 2206 01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:35,160 Speaker 2: know your neighbors are. 2207 01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:36,479 Speaker 6: What's the different, right right? 2208 01:46:36,640 --> 01:46:40,280 Speaker 7: But now I mean as condos and as properties age, 2209 01:46:41,160 --> 01:46:45,400 Speaker 7: the HOA fees have gone up so dramatically over the 2210 01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:49,280 Speaker 7: years because the cost of keeping these places updated. So 2211 01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:53,479 Speaker 7: it is not uncommon to have an HOA of three 2212 01:46:53,600 --> 01:46:55,880 Speaker 7: hundred and fifty dollars a month, plus you. 2213 01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:57,200 Speaker 6: Have to pay the mortgage. 2214 01:46:57,640 --> 01:47:00,080 Speaker 7: Again, we're going to get to that point where one 2215 01:47:00,400 --> 01:47:02,800 Speaker 7: may start to struggle quite a bit because there are 2216 01:47:03,080 --> 01:47:05,360 Speaker 7: there are nice ways. There are not nice reasons to 2217 01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:08,080 Speaker 7: own a condo because you don't have as much of 2218 01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:10,040 Speaker 7: the maintenance that you have to take care of yourself 2219 01:47:10,080 --> 01:47:12,479 Speaker 7: on the exterior and that sort of thing. But at 2220 01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:15,680 Speaker 7: the same time, can you avoid the mortgage plus an 2221 01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:18,840 Speaker 7: additional three hundred and fifty dollars a month for HOA, 2222 01:47:19,240 --> 01:47:22,320 Speaker 7: plus the taxes, plus the this and the plus the that. 2223 01:47:24,400 --> 01:47:27,799 Speaker 7: So you may find more condos being vacant for longer 2224 01:47:27,920 --> 01:47:31,400 Speaker 7: periods of time, and if there again, I feel the 2225 01:47:31,640 --> 01:47:35,360 Speaker 7: worst property is one that is not lived in, and 2226 01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:40,000 Speaker 7: I would rather one hundred thousand percent have somebody who's 2227 01:47:40,080 --> 01:47:42,519 Speaker 7: living in it, whether they're renting it or owning it, 2228 01:47:42,720 --> 01:47:46,200 Speaker 7: than having a vacant home next to me, because honestly, 2229 01:47:46,320 --> 01:47:48,200 Speaker 7: it's just a call for trouble. 2230 01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:49,840 Speaker 2: Right all right, So President Trump saying he wants to 2231 01:47:49,920 --> 01:47:53,679 Speaker 2: ban Wall Street investments, institutional investors, and single family homes. 2232 01:47:53,680 --> 01:47:55,559 Speaker 2: Will see how this plays out.
