1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: You want to be an American idiots. 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 2: The weekend is here. 3 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,800 Speaker 3: It is a massive sports weekend in Cincinnati. He doesn't 4 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 3: get any bigger than this. You have, of course, well, 5 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow play or not play that debate. On Sunday 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 3: you have UC BYU feeling like for all the marbles 7 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 3: with the national Fox broadcast in town at Nippert Stadium. 8 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna look good there. 9 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 3: We've got UC and Inner Miami in the next round 10 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 3: of the MLS playoffs at TQL Stadium, winner take all, 11 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 3: and tonight you've got Elder Saint X. And it was 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 3: interesting as a Bengal fan watching and watching this develop 13 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 3: going well, they want to move it to pay cour, 14 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 3: which made a lot of sense, you know, as a Mason, 15 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 3: I to look at that. 16 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: Go okay, it's a few thousand dollars. 17 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 3: Hopefully the Ohio State High School Athletic Association gives them, 18 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 3: gives them a little bit of money back for their investment. 19 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 3: But yeah, seven thousand tickets. The demand is high. I 20 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 3: don't know how many they've sold at this point. I 21 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 3: forgot to check, but certainly more than seven thousand. And 22 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 3: they're gonna this pay Court tonight Okay, great, awesome. I 23 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 3: was surprised how quickly this came together. But it brings 24 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 3: up a bigger question, and that is didn't we, the 25 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 3: taxpayers of Hamilton County pay for the stage? So why 26 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 3: can't we use that more often? 27 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 2: On? 28 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 3: That is a representative state Rep. Adam Matthews, who is 29 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 3: in control and rules with an iron fist from Lebanon 30 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 3: to South Lebanon to Mason. 31 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: Adam Matthews, welcome back. How are you brother? 32 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: Always a pleasure to be here. Thank you so much 33 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: for having me on. 34 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 3: Thanks again. So let's jump into this. This is interesting 35 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 3: what this happened. You probably heard about it, and do 36 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 3: you have any affiliation with Saint X or Elder You 37 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 3: got skin in the game there. 38 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 2: I did. Actually, one of my core memories I was 39 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: winning against Cole Rain in the playoffs just like this 40 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 2: in two thousand and five. We went to overtime and 41 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: beat Coleraine twelve to nine in Paul and then Paul 42 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 2: Brown Stadium, and it was incredible. Yeah, that was on 43 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: the way to a state championship. 44 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 3: Let's face it, many of these young men and some 45 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: may go to play collegiately. For sure, NFL is a 46 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 3: pipe dream. But then from most of the athletes out there, 47 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 3: this will be a high point of their athletic career. 48 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 3: But imagine, I mean, how awesome is that. Getting to 49 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 3: play on an actual NFL turf has got to be 50 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 3: and just you know, the locker rooms and everything, the 51 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 3: whole experience is is going to be something to remember 52 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 3: the rest of their lives. 53 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: It's incredible and I'm so excited for these young gentlemen. 54 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, then you got involved legislatively the Bengals, and you know, 55 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 3: it's always in vogue to poke fun at the Bengals 56 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 3: and question their motives and operations and maybe spendthrift ways 57 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: in some cases. But you gotta also give congratulations too. 58 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: And it certainly isn't how quickly the franchise leaned into 59 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 3: hosting this game, and typically the Bengals don't do anything quickly. 60 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 3: They did this in like less than twenty four hours, 61 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: and also with the county, and so credit certainly is 62 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 3: due there. But what do you want to do legislatively? 63 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I will act that. Thank you so much to 64 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: the Bengals from the team. Thank you that those in 65 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 2: the local county commission that they this happened as well. 66 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 2: And this should be a model of what goes forward 67 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: if we're going to have tax payer step off and 68 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: fund these very large investments you have up at the Browns, 69 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 2: they had asked for one hundreds of millions of dollars. 70 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 2: And even here in Mason we've seen something similar of 71 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Open had just been used for one week. 72 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 2: It became a two week tournament and has been doing 73 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: really well. But it's now also back in October host 74 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: of the girl State Finals, and it's now open for 75 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: more tournaments. It's going to be open to the community 76 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 2: for a pro shop, for the court, for things like that. 77 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: And if we're going to have these huge professional sports venues, 78 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: there should be a way for that to come at 79 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: functional costs to the community for these types of venues. 80 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: Are looking at legislation on making sure that that can 81 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: happen and be fair to the owners. You don't want 82 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: to say it's a football situation, and you know, wild 83 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 2: card weekend lines up obviously, if the Dingles are hosting, 84 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: you can't have a high school game the night before. 85 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: But if it works out that it's Friday night, things 86 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 2: are fine. You can have a game on Sunday. Wonderful 87 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: let's let's have that happen, and we're going to work 88 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: with the USSAA, work with the professional organizations and see 89 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 2: what we can do. 90 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 3: But you also have the contracts that are would this 91 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: I don't know a contract law, I'm not an attorney. 92 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: How would that work? 93 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 3: If you have a contract that says, hey, you can 94 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 3: only have so many dates, whatever it might be, how 95 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 3: does this override that? 96 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 2: So we are looking at making legislation that anything going forward. 97 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 2: Anytime that they come with a handout asking for hey, 98 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 2: we need taxpayer subsidies to build a new stadium or 99 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 2: renovate a new stadium. If you're not using it for 100 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: your professional purpose, there's other types of reasonable uses out 101 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 2: to the community should be part of that conversation, and it. 102 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 3: Would be at market rate obviously, or whatever that looks like. 103 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 3: Obviously the Bengals aren't charging market rate for the stand 104 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 3: because it's too high school enterprises. 105 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: They could never afford that. 106 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 3: So how do these how do you do you scale 107 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: that legislatively? 108 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 2: Then? Right, so we would look and see if there's 109 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 2: a way to smooth it out over because I'm grateful 110 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 2: to the Bengals. I think the tickets are fifteen dollars 111 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 2: for tonight and to cover you know, there's still people 112 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 2: working the gate, there's still people working concessions. It's more 113 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: than just turning the locks off for the day and 114 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: letting people come in. And so we need to make 115 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 2: sure that things are balanced. And what we're going to 116 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 2: start as a negotiation place is, uh, they get not 117 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 2: market rates for the use of the venue, but what 118 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 2: it would have been had it been at Mason High School. 119 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: And see can it be within twenty percent of what 120 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 2: it would have than at Mason High School? And see 121 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 2: if either the state subsidizes on the front end or 122 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 2: if that's part of the consideration when we are deciding 123 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 2: whether or not protect their dollars to go into the 124 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 2: renovation or the expansion. 125 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: Okay, got it. 126 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: So this is just a professional stadiums, not not amateur 127 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 3: stadium paid public amateur stadiums like the Cleveland Brown Stadium. 128 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 2: Correct, exactly, like the Cleveland Brown Stadium. 129 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 3: Big oh, yeah, you don't want to fund the amateur 130 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 3: teams up in Cleveland. So it's a different thing. And 131 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 3: I'm trying to think there's there's a lot of stadium 132 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,840 Speaker 3: you think. Okay, well, Cincinnati, Columbus Cleveland, but you know Dayton, Toledo, 133 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 3: Youngstown they have I don't know how much public money 134 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 3: are those facilities, but that's a lot, right. 135 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 2: There's there's conversations all over there I know of. I 136 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: think right across the border in Butler County they're looking 137 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 2: at a semi professional or amage or minor league hockey facility. 138 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: That would be great for the community as well. So 139 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 2: anything that we can do to build those types of 140 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 2: Friday night lights or those types of touch points for 141 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: the community to come rather than just the using taxpayer 142 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: dollars for stadiums where the cheap seats are over one 143 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: hundred and. 144 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 3: Some dollars, seems like, you know, it'd have to be 145 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 3: a big rivalry game, but getting with all the leagues 146 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 3: in Cincinnati, you sell everything else. Is to line up 147 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 3: a marquee game every Friday where the Bengals aren't playing, 148 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 3: and do that and do it on the regular I 149 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 3: think that'd be amazing. 150 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 2: It would be really neat. And you see both the 151 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: teams playing tonight and you so this the ticket sold 152 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: out in forty two minutes while the kids were still 153 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: in class. And there are two all boys schools and 154 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: each Friday they sell out their ten thousand stadiums. You 155 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: knew that there was going to be something big. 156 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know the social opportunity you could get 157 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 3: a Friday night passed me on, be a season ticket 158 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 3: holder if you want to and see all the high 159 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 3: school games. 160 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: I'm sure that would appeal to some folks. Yeah. 161 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: The side of this thing is the money factor, because 162 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 3: money's always a concern. Representative Adam Matthews. You know some 163 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 3: of these you may not get twenty thousand there like 164 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 3: we're going to get tonight. But if you got ten 165 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: thous is that enough to offset the costs of keeping 166 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: the lights on and keeping the stadium open? 167 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: And if not, isn't that back on the taxpayers? Does 168 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: that make sense? Right? 169 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: So you'd have to look at that balance to make 170 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: sure that the money makes sense because not just the 171 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: lights on, make sure that the harm of the field, 172 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 2: make sure that the workers are there, and it will 173 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: have to make some tod of balance, which is why 174 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: we're work on this legislation with say, with the pro 175 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 2: stadiums and with the professional owners. 176 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's got to be a balance. 177 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 3: Theres like you know, a couple of Division three schools 178 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 3: or schools where you're not going to get that much attendance. 179 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 3: You know, it doesn't make sense to have it at 180 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 3: paycre or something like that just to give kids the experiencing, 181 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 3: and that's a substantial cost to the already burden taxpayers 182 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 3: of Hamilton County. We don't want to go down that road. 183 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 3: Correct tonight should pay for it. I would think it 184 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 3: should be at ten dollars parking. I don't know what 185 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 3: tickets are, but ticket sales are awesome despite the weather 186 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 3: that's going to be extremely bad. But I don't think 187 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 3: kids care. But I think you know, if you're getting 188 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 3: to play at pay Corps and your kids out there 189 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 3: or you know, relatives saying I just a fan of 190 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 3: the school. I know a lot of elder and sex 191 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 3: grads are going to go tonight just because it's pay Corps, 192 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: Brian Combs being one of them. So that'd be kind 193 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 3: of fun. What's the timeline for getting this done. 194 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: We just went through a marathon session to finish out 195 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: the House voting for twenty twenty five, so we will 196 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 2: be back with legislation in January February to get this 197 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: really working. 198 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: Okay, good, that's awesome. 199 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, taking some time off after I don't know what 200 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 3: just the what the hell just happened with the CBD thing. 201 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 3: I mean I followed closely, more closer than anyone, and 202 00:09:55,160 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 3: I still don't understand all the imaginations and levers and 203 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 3: trip wires and everything else that was set up, and 204 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 3: why how this thing got so sideways in such a 205 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 3: short period of time when it's coming to when it 206 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 3: comes to CBD, sash THHC and fuse beverages, it seems 207 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 3: to me like I don't there's not much difference beween 208 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 3: THHC and alcohol because you're drinking it for an effect. 209 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 3: I don't know why we have to get rid of one, 210 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 3: especially as populaters. Is that seems to be really anti business, 211 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 3: anti small business to me, and also anti choice. 212 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 2: And part of this the confusion, mean you said you're 213 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 2: afraid that the going sideways all at once was we 214 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 2: had had through the house something that would allow your 215 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 2: five milligrams ten milligram drinks, whether it's at Ryan Geist 216 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: or fifty West or elsewhere, to be bought on site 217 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 2: and taken home. And while it goes through the house, 218 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 2: conversations over to the Senate, and the Senate conversations. The 219 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 2: federal government made some changes that made a phase out 220 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 2: over the next year to get rid of these, and 221 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 2: so what we had to do in the Ohio state 222 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 2: houses we can't go much further than the feds two 223 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 2: and so that is what the final product is is 224 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 2: matching what the federal government. 225 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the Fed. The Fed forcing your hands on 226 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 3: that because federal law. But at the same time, I 227 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 3: just there was no impetus for this, and you know, 228 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 3: the idea of you know, you're I know, you're around them, 229 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 3: but like Nancy Pelosi and you know, well, we got 230 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,439 Speaker 3: to pass the bill to see what's in it. 231 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: It's it's more the same. 232 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 3: As much as we talk as conservatives talk about changing 233 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 3: the government, that seems to be the same thing that hey, 234 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 3: we snuck this in here at the last minute. Trump 235 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 3: signed it in the law, and wait, what do we do. 236 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 3: We just eliminated it in industry. That's literally saving the 237 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 3: craft beer people in Ohio because fewer people are drinking 238 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 3: craft beer, more are drinking the THC beverage. It's clear 239 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 3: there's consumer demand for it. I don't think the public 240 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: risk is any greater than alcohol, and clearly many Ohioans, 241 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 3: Kentucky Indians want the THC and fused beverages the way 242 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 3: they are. Do you think there's hope in the next 243 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 3: year that maybe we come up with a better a 244 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 3: better way to do this from the federal level. 245 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 2: I think that there needs to be some transparency. I 246 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: know that you, as you mentioned, this was part of 247 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 2: a long late night negotiation on the federal government to 248 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 2: get it back open after the Democrats were not coming 249 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 2: to the table in the Senate and the government the 250 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 2: government needed to turn back on. So yeah, thick in 251 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 2: at the last minute. And uh, but as things continue, 252 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: and as you hear from the constituents like you or 253 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 2: like others, I do think that the federal government is 254 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 2: probably going to revisit this. 255 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 1: I would hope. 256 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 3: So they're going to have to final point something else 257 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 3: you just got through and I wanted to circle back around. 258 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 3: And I don't know much about. It's called the Patient 259 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,199 Speaker 3: Protection Act, and this is your legislation. It targets high 260 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 3: risk medications, and that is drugs defined with at least 261 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 3: a five percent chance of severe at verse side effects 262 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 3: that could lead to death or infection or And this 263 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 3: has to do with mail order drugs. 264 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: Well, why this what's this? 265 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: Is this legislation about abortion pills basically or no, this medication. 266 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 2: Is about any type of medication where like you said 267 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: five percent, and we saw the terrible story out of 268 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 2: Washington State where a college student was getting antidepressive medications telehealth, 269 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: no no doctor oversight other than their telehealth, so they 270 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: never got checked on. When he complained to the organization 271 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 2: that was prescribing these drugs, they're like, well, we'll just 272 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 2: up your dosage. And eventually he died by suicide. And 273 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 2: now there's a wrongful death claim in all of this. 274 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 2: And we have seen similar things. We just start We're 275 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 2: not even through picking up the pieces from the opiate epidemic, 276 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 2: which was similar. We've had other medications, and some opponents 277 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 2: are are focused thing on abortion pills, and there are 278 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 2: some studies along this, but any type of medication, we 279 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: want to have a stated of care that if you're 280 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 2: playing a board game and you roll the dice, and 281 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 2: if if you're rolling the dice and you roll a three, 282 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: and that means you're going to have organ failure, septist 283 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: or sent to the hospital with tim or Jane or infections, 284 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: that's pretty high odds. And this isn't banning any medication. 285 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: It just says before you get something that is one 286 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 2: out of twenty sending you to the hospital, you just 287 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: need to see a doctor before and then have a 288 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 2: doctor check on you afterwards. 289 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, I see what you're saying there. But you know, 290 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 3: the claim though, is a what a five percent mortality rate? 291 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 3: That there aren't any drugs that have a five percent 292 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 3: mortality rate that would that would never forget through through trials. 293 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: Uh, there there have been, and sometimes we are we 294 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 2: see this afterwards where uh would you have an FDA trial? 295 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: It is where you have people taking the medication clinically 296 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 2: according to every single rule versus how people actually are 297 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: using it right, and then that that difference can get 298 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: to have this type of danger. 299 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 3: Well you can, I mean, you know, op, it's a 300 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 3: great example of that. You can become addicted, and we've 301 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 3: cracked on that and obviously, but I mean the thing 302 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 3: if you're talking about this is somehow a product liability thing. 303 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 3: Oh hi, we already have malpractice laws and state boards 304 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 3: and FDA oversight and all that stuff, and of course 305 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 3: litigation as well. Doesn't that balance things out? 306 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: So you have both on the front and the backside. 307 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 2: Just in medication, you do things that are that help 308 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 2: you and then stick some problem afterwards. This is a 309 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: standard of care to make sure that you're getting good 310 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: care on the front end. Malpractice is only after things 311 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: have already gone bad. Okay, So we are making sure 312 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: that both you have a good dinner. This care. We 313 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: are bolstering the relationships between the patient and the doctor. Hey. 314 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 2: And then yeah, as you mentioned, malpractice if things go wrong, 315 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 2: but we're trying to avoid those things so wrong because 316 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: sometimes that money will not six oregan failure or death. 317 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: Gotcha? Okay. 318 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 3: The big question, of course, Rocky boyman texting me wants 319 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 3: to know if he can still get his ed medicine 320 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 3: uh in a in a brown bag. 321 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: Delivered to his house.
