WEBVTT - 11-21-25 Sloan with Adam Matthews

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>You want to be an American idiots.

0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:03.840
<v Speaker 2>The weekend is here.

0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:06.800
<v Speaker 3>It is a massive sports weekend in Cincinnati. He doesn't

0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:09.880
<v Speaker 3>get any bigger than this. You have, of course, well,

0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:13.320
<v Speaker 3>Joe Burrow play or not play that debate. On Sunday

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 3>you have UC BYU feeling like for all the marbles

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 3>with the national Fox broadcast in town at Nippert Stadium.

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna look good there.

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:24.960
<v Speaker 3>We've got UC and Inner Miami in the next round

0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 3>of the MLS playoffs at TQL Stadium, winner take all,

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 3>and tonight you've got Elder Saint X. And it was

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 3>interesting as a Bengal fan watching and watching this develop

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 3>going well, they want to move it to pay cour,

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:39.520
<v Speaker 3>which made a lot of sense, you know, as a Mason,

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:40.159
<v Speaker 3>I to look at that.

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Go okay, it's a few thousand dollars.

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully the Ohio State High School Athletic Association gives them,

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 3>gives them a little bit of money back for their investment.

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, seven thousand tickets. The demand is high. I

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 3>don't know how many they've sold at this point. I

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 3>forgot to check, but certainly more than seven thousand. And

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna this pay Court tonight Okay, great, awesome. I

0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 3>was surprised how quickly this came together. But it brings

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 3>up a bigger question, and that is didn't we, the

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.160
<v Speaker 3>taxpayers of Hamilton County pay for the stage? So why

0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:06.959
<v Speaker 3>can't we use that more often?

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 2>On?

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 3>That is a representative state Rep. Adam Matthews, who is

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 3>in control and rules with an iron fist from Lebanon

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 3>to South Lebanon to Mason.

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Adam Matthews, welcome back. How are you brother?

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Always a pleasure to be here. Thank you so much

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:22.560
<v Speaker 2>for having me on.

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.680
<v Speaker 3>Thanks again. So let's jump into this. This is interesting

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 3>what this happened. You probably heard about it, and do

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 3>you have any affiliation with Saint X or Elder You

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 3>got skin in the game there.

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I did. Actually, one of my core memories I was

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 2>winning against Cole Rain in the playoffs just like this

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:45.120
<v Speaker 2>in two thousand and five. We went to overtime and

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 2>beat Coleraine twelve to nine in Paul and then Paul

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Brown Stadium, and it was incredible. Yeah, that was on

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the way to a state championship.

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's face it, many of these young men and some

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 3>may go to play collegiately. For sure, NFL is a

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 3>pipe dream. But then from most of the athletes out there,

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 3>this will be a high point of their athletic career.

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 3>But imagine, I mean, how awesome is that. Getting to

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 3>play on an actual NFL turf has got to be

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.519
<v Speaker 3>and just you know, the locker rooms and everything, the

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 3>whole experience is is going to be something to remember

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:15.239
<v Speaker 3>the rest of their lives.

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 2>It's incredible and I'm so excited for these young gentlemen.

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, then you got involved legislatively the Bengals, and you know,

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 3>it's always in vogue to poke fun at the Bengals

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 3>and question their motives and operations and maybe spendthrift ways

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 3>in some cases. But you gotta also give congratulations too.

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 3>And it certainly isn't how quickly the franchise leaned into

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 3>hosting this game, and typically the Bengals don't do anything quickly.

0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 3>They did this in like less than twenty four hours,

0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 3>and also with the county, and so credit certainly is

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 3>due there. But what do you want to do legislatively?

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I will act that. Thank you so much to

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals from the team. Thank you that those in

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.079
<v Speaker 2>the local county commission that they this happened as well.

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 2>And this should be a model of what goes forward

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 2>if we're going to have tax payer step off and

0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 2>fund these very large investments you have up at the Browns,

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.800
<v Speaker 2>they had asked for one hundreds of millions of dollars.

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:23.080
<v Speaker 2>And even here in Mason we've seen something similar of

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 2>the Cincinnati Open had just been used for one week.

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.359
<v Speaker 2>It became a two week tournament and has been doing

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 2>really well. But it's now also back in October host

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 2>of the girl State Finals, and it's now open for

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 2>more tournaments. It's going to be open to the community

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 2>for a pro shop, for the court, for things like that.

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 2>And if we're going to have these huge professional sports venues,

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 2>there should be a way for that to come at

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 2>functional costs to the community for these types of venues.

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Are looking at legislation on making sure that that can

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>happen and be fair to the owners. You don't want

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 2>to say it's a football situation, and you know, wild

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 2>card weekend lines up obviously, if the Dingles are hosting,

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 2>you can't have a high school game the night before.

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 2>But if it works out that it's Friday night, things

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 2>are fine. You can have a game on Sunday. Wonderful

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 2>let's let's have that happen, and we're going to work

0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>with the USSAA, work with the professional organizations and see

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>what we can do.

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.480
<v Speaker 3>But you also have the contracts that are would this

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know a contract law, I'm not an attorney.

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>How would that work?

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 3>If you have a contract that says, hey, you can

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.840
<v Speaker 3>only have so many dates, whatever it might be, how

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:41.719
<v Speaker 3>does this override that?

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>So we are looking at making legislation that anything going forward.

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:52.159
<v Speaker 2>Anytime that they come with a handout asking for hey,

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.359
<v Speaker 2>we need taxpayer subsidies to build a new stadium or

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.479
<v Speaker 2>renovate a new stadium. If you're not using it for

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 2>your professional purpose, there's other types of reasonable uses out

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.280
<v Speaker 2>to the community should be part of that conversation, and it.

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 3>Would be at market rate obviously, or whatever that looks like.

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.919
<v Speaker 3>Obviously the Bengals aren't charging market rate for the stand

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 3>because it's too high school enterprises.

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>They could never afford that.

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 3>So how do these how do you do you scale

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 3>that legislatively?

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Then? Right, so we would look and see if there's

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:26.479
<v Speaker 2>a way to smooth it out over because I'm grateful

0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.159
<v Speaker 2>to the Bengals. I think the tickets are fifteen dollars

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.719
<v Speaker 2>for tonight and to cover you know, there's still people

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>working the gate, there's still people working concessions. It's more

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 2>than just turning the locks off for the day and

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 2>letting people come in. And so we need to make

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:46.920
<v Speaker 2>sure that things are balanced. And what we're going to

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 2>start as a negotiation place is, uh, they get not

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.159
<v Speaker 2>market rates for the use of the venue, but what

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.360
<v Speaker 2>it would have been had it been at Mason High School.

0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 2>And see can it be within twenty percent of what

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 2>it would have than at Mason High School? And see

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.720
<v Speaker 2>if either the state subsidizes on the front end or

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 2>if that's part of the consideration when we are deciding

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:11.919
<v Speaker 2>whether or not protect their dollars to go into the

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:13.359
<v Speaker 2>renovation or the expansion.

0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, got it.

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 3>So this is just a professional stadiums, not not amateur

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:23.839
<v Speaker 3>stadium paid public amateur stadiums like the Cleveland Brown Stadium.

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 2>Correct, exactly, like the Cleveland Brown Stadium.

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 3>Big oh, yeah, you don't want to fund the amateur

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 3>teams up in Cleveland. So it's a different thing. And

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm trying to think there's there's a lot of stadium

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:37.840
<v Speaker 3>you think. Okay, well, Cincinnati, Columbus Cleveland, but you know Dayton, Toledo,

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Youngstown they have I don't know how much public money

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 3>are those facilities, but that's a lot, right.

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>There's there's conversations all over there I know of. I

0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 2>think right across the border in Butler County they're looking

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 2>at a semi professional or amage or minor league hockey facility.

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 2>That would be great for the community as well. So

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.159
<v Speaker 2>anything that we can do to build those types of

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Friday night lights or those types of touch points for

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>the community to come rather than just the using taxpayer

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 2>dollars for stadiums where the cheap seats are over one

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 2>hundred and.

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 3>Some dollars, seems like, you know, it'd have to be

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 3>a big rivalry game, but getting with all the leagues

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 3>in Cincinnati, you sell everything else. Is to line up

0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:29.320
<v Speaker 3>a marquee game every Friday where the Bengals aren't playing,

0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 3>and do that and do it on the regular I

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 3>think that'd be amazing.

0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 2>It would be really neat. And you see both the

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.240
<v Speaker 2>teams playing tonight and you so this the ticket sold

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.640
<v Speaker 2>out in forty two minutes while the kids were still

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 2>in class. And there are two all boys schools and

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 2>each Friday they sell out their ten thousand stadiums. You

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 2>knew that there was going to be something big.

0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and you know the social opportunity you could get

0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 3>a Friday night passed me on, be a season ticket

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 3>holder if you want to and see all the high

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 3>school games.

0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that would appeal to some folks. Yeah.

0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 3>The side of this thing is the money factor, because

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 3>money's always a concern. Representative Adam Matthews. You know some

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.480
<v Speaker 3>of these you may not get twenty thousand there like

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 3>we're going to get tonight. But if you got ten

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.800
<v Speaker 3>thous is that enough to offset the costs of keeping

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 3>the lights on and keeping the stadium open?

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>And if not, isn't that back on the taxpayers? Does

0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.000
<v Speaker 1>that make sense? Right?

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:26.680
<v Speaker 2>So you'd have to look at that balance to make

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 2>sure that the money makes sense because not just the

0:08:31.440 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 2>lights on, make sure that the harm of the field,

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.840
<v Speaker 2>make sure that the workers are there, and it will

0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 2>have to make some tod of balance, which is why

0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:43.560
<v Speaker 2>we're work on this legislation with say, with the pro

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 2>stadiums and with the professional owners.

0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's got to be a balance.

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Theres like you know, a couple of Division three schools

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 3>or schools where you're not going to get that much attendance.

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, it doesn't make sense to have it at

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 3>paycre or something like that just to give kids the experiencing,

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 3>and that's a substantial cost to the already burden taxpayers

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:02.840
<v Speaker 3>of Hamilton County. We don't want to go down that road.

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 3>Correct tonight should pay for it. I would think it

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 3>should be at ten dollars parking. I don't know what

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 3>tickets are, but ticket sales are awesome despite the weather

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 3>that's going to be extremely bad. But I don't think

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 3>kids care. But I think you know, if you're getting

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.240
<v Speaker 3>to play at pay Corps and your kids out there

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 3>or you know, relatives saying I just a fan of

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.600
<v Speaker 3>the school. I know a lot of elder and sex

0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.679
<v Speaker 3>grads are going to go tonight just because it's pay Corps,

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 3>Brian Combs being one of them. So that'd be kind

0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:30.760
<v Speaker 3>of fun. What's the timeline for getting this done.

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 2>We just went through a marathon session to finish out

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:40.360
<v Speaker 2>the House voting for twenty twenty five, so we will

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:44.719
<v Speaker 2>be back with legislation in January February to get this

0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 2>really working.

0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, good, that's awesome.

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, taking some time off after I don't know what

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 3>just the what the hell just happened with the CBD thing.

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean I followed closely, more closer than anyone, and

0:09:55.160 --> 0:10:00.160
<v Speaker 3>I still don't understand all the imaginations and levers and

0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 3>trip wires and everything else that was set up, and

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.679
<v Speaker 3>why how this thing got so sideways in such a

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 3>short period of time when it's coming to when it

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:10.199
<v Speaker 3>comes to CBD, sash THHC and fuse beverages, it seems

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:11.959
<v Speaker 3>to me like I don't there's not much difference beween

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.520
<v Speaker 3>THHC and alcohol because you're drinking it for an effect.

0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't know why we have to get rid of one,

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.960
<v Speaker 3>especially as populaters. Is that seems to be really anti business,

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 3>anti small business to me, and also anti choice.

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 2>And part of this the confusion, mean you said you're

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>afraid that the going sideways all at once was we

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:37.920
<v Speaker 2>had had through the house something that would allow your

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.559
<v Speaker 2>five milligrams ten milligram drinks, whether it's at Ryan Geist

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 2>or fifty West or elsewhere, to be bought on site

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 2>and taken home. And while it goes through the house,

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 2>conversations over to the Senate, and the Senate conversations. The

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 2>federal government made some changes that made a phase out

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 2>over the next year to get rid of these, and

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 2>so what we had to do in the Ohio state

0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.600
<v Speaker 2>houses we can't go much further than the feds two

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.440
<v Speaker 2>and so that is what the final product is is

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 2>matching what the federal government.

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, the Fed. The Fed forcing your hands on

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 3>that because federal law. But at the same time, I

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.319
<v Speaker 3>just there was no impetus for this, and you know,

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 3>the idea of you know, you're I know, you're around them,

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 3>but like Nancy Pelosi and you know, well, we got

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:29.439
<v Speaker 3>to pass the bill to see what's in it.

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:30.679
<v Speaker 1>It's it's more the same.

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.319
<v Speaker 3>As much as we talk as conservatives talk about changing

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.760
<v Speaker 3>the government, that seems to be the same thing that hey,

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 3>we snuck this in here at the last minute. Trump

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 3>signed it in the law, and wait, what do we do.

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 3>We just eliminated it in industry. That's literally saving the

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 3>craft beer people in Ohio because fewer people are drinking

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.480
<v Speaker 3>craft beer, more are drinking the THC beverage. It's clear

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 3>there's consumer demand for it. I don't think the public

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:57.160
<v Speaker 3>risk is any greater than alcohol, and clearly many Ohioans,

0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.319
<v Speaker 3>Kentucky Indians want the THC and fused beverages the way

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 3>they are. Do you think there's hope in the next

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 3>year that maybe we come up with a better a

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:07.960
<v Speaker 3>better way to do this from the federal level.

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 2>I think that there needs to be some transparency. I

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 2>know that you, as you mentioned, this was part of

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 2>a long late night negotiation on the federal government to

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.839
<v Speaker 2>get it back open after the Democrats were not coming

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.959
<v Speaker 2>to the table in the Senate and the government the

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>government needed to turn back on. So yeah, thick in

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 2>at the last minute. And uh, but as things continue,

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 2>and as you hear from the constituents like you or

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.480
<v Speaker 2>like others, I do think that the federal government is

0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 2>probably going to revisit this.

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I would hope.

0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:44.719
<v Speaker 3>So they're going to have to final point something else

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 3>you just got through and I wanted to circle back around.

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:48.480
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know much about. It's called the Patient

0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:52.199
<v Speaker 3>Protection Act, and this is your legislation. It targets high

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 3>risk medications, and that is drugs defined with at least

0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 3>a five percent chance of severe at verse side effects

0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 3>that could lead to death or infection or And this

0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 3>has to do with mail order drugs.

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Well, why this what's this?

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 3>Is this legislation about abortion pills basically or no, this medication.

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Is about any type of medication where like you said

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 2>five percent, and we saw the terrible story out of

0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Washington State where a college student was getting antidepressive medications telehealth,

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:29.000
<v Speaker 2>no no doctor oversight other than their telehealth, so they

0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 2>never got checked on. When he complained to the organization

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 2>that was prescribing these drugs, they're like, well, we'll just

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:42.080
<v Speaker 2>up your dosage. And eventually he died by suicide. And

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.080
<v Speaker 2>now there's a wrongful death claim in all of this.

0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 2>And we have seen similar things. We just start We're

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.439
<v Speaker 2>not even through picking up the pieces from the opiate epidemic,

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 2>which was similar. We've had other medications, and some opponents

0:13:59.040 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 2>are are focused thing on abortion pills, and there are

0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 2>some studies along this, but any type of medication, we

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 2>want to have a stated of care that if you're

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 2>playing a board game and you roll the dice, and

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.839
<v Speaker 2>if if you're rolling the dice and you roll a three,

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.880
<v Speaker 2>and that means you're going to have organ failure, septist

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.840
<v Speaker 2>or sent to the hospital with tim or Jane or infections,

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.760
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty high odds. And this isn't banning any medication.

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:30.080
<v Speaker 2>It just says before you get something that is one

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.960
<v Speaker 2>out of twenty sending you to the hospital, you just

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 2>need to see a doctor before and then have a

0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.840
<v Speaker 2>doctor check on you afterwards.

0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Okay, I see what you're saying there. But you know,

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 3>the claim though, is a what a five percent mortality rate?

0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 3>That there aren't any drugs that have a five percent

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 3>mortality rate that would that would never forget through through trials.

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Uh, there there have been, and sometimes we are we

0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 2>see this afterwards where uh would you have an FDA trial?

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:06.720
<v Speaker 2>It is where you have people taking the medication clinically

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 2>according to every single rule versus how people actually are

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 2>using it right, and then that that difference can get

0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:17.840
<v Speaker 2>to have this type of danger.

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.640
<v Speaker 3>Well you can, I mean, you know, op, it's a

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.160
<v Speaker 3>great example of that. You can become addicted, and we've

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 3>cracked on that and obviously, but I mean the thing

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 3>if you're talking about this is somehow a product liability thing.

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Oh hi, we already have malpractice laws and state boards

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.240
<v Speaker 3>and FDA oversight and all that stuff, and of course

0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.640
<v Speaker 3>litigation as well. Doesn't that balance things out?

0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 2>So you have both on the front and the backside.

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Just in medication, you do things that are that help

0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 2>you and then stick some problem afterwards. This is a

0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 2>standard of care to make sure that you're getting good

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.480
<v Speaker 2>care on the front end. Malpractice is only after things

0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.440
<v Speaker 2>have already gone bad. Okay, So we are making sure

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:00.840
<v Speaker 2>that both you have a good dinner. This care. We

0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:05.000
<v Speaker 2>are bolstering the relationships between the patient and the doctor. Hey.

0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:09.880
<v Speaker 2>And then yeah, as you mentioned, malpractice if things go wrong,

0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 2>but we're trying to avoid those things so wrong because

0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:16.960
<v Speaker 2>sometimes that money will not six oregan failure or death.

0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha? Okay.

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.680
<v Speaker 3>The big question, of course, Rocky boyman texting me wants

0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:23.360
<v Speaker 3>to know if he can still get his ed medicine

0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.560
<v Speaker 3>uh in a in a brown bag.

0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Delivered to his house. So that is that in jeopardy. Okay.
