Speaker 1: Elections have consequences, and we need keep Betsy Sunnerman an office.

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: got a great record. She cares about the city of Cincinnati,

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: and she understands crime, and she understands about bad guys

00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 1: her policies are, a little opportunity to donate, get involved,

34
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 4: Thank you for having me.

35
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: It's always a pleasure. I hope the campaign's going well

36
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: for you.

37
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we're all exhausted, but it's only a

38
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 4: week left.

39
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: So keep going right, I know, amen, coming into the

40
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: finish line and hopefully delivering a big win for the city.

41
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: We could use more people like you on the bench.

42
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: So we don't have smart justice. That's initial cap smart justice.

43
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: What the hell is that? And why would voting for

44
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: you prevent us from going down that road. Betsy Suenterman, Right.

45
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: It sounds good. Smart is a good word, right. So

46
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 4: our opponents are publicizing this platform called smart justice. And

47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 4: I asked my two little girls last night, I said,

48
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 4: what do you think smart justice means? And my twelve

49
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 4: year old said, I don't think you can add an

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 4: adjective before the word justice and have it mean the

51
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 4: same thing.

52
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: And I said, exactly from the babes, that's beautiful.

53
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 4: Right, So what is smart justice? Smart justice is a

54
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 4: liberal progressive movement in the court system, and the main

55
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 4: goals are to reduce mass incarceration and to promote kind

56
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 4: of a social worky style for the judges instead of

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 4: our traditional style. So, first of all, mass incarceration is

58
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 4: definitely not happening in Hamilton County anymore. So I don't

59
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 4: know why we need to promote the reduction of mass incarceration.

60
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 4: The jail's completely empty. We have two hundred beds available

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 4: all the time with no one killing them. So if

62
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 4: anyone's running on the position of needing to lock people

63
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 4: up less, I don't think that's possible at this point.

64
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: Nobody's really getting locked up anymore except by the few

65
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: Republican judges who are left. So that's a strange talking point.

66
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: And then as far as the social worky stuff, I'm

67
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 4: sure your listeners have heard about our probation departments now

68
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 4: in the criminal courts are rewarding criminals for good behavior.

69
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 4: They're giving them reds, tickets and different little prizes and right,

70
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 4: so this is part of the social workie. Someone referred

71
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: to it as the hug a thug philosophy. And instead

72
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 4: of rewarding someone by saying you are now off probation,

73
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 4: we are rewarding them with little prizes that regular citizens

74
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 4: don't set when they don't commit crimes.

75
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: Right, don't you have many ideas? Right?

76
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 4: These are the kind of things I used when I

77
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 4: was trying to potty train my kids, and I would say,

78
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 4: you get a sticker, or you get an EM and

79
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: M or something. These are not things that should be

80
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 4: used in the court system. So, and we've seen this

81
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 4: in other cities. These kind of policies have gone into

82
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 4: place like New York City is a mess, Philadelphia, Chicago,

83
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 4: San Francisco, Austin, Texas. I mean, this stuff does not work.

84
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 4: The crime has gone way up in these areas. People

85
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 4: are moving out in mass numbers. People don't want to

86
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: live where these policies are happening.

87
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 1: Clearly, well, you know, insofar as toilet training is concerned,

88
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: you are born without the knowledge of how to use

89
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: a toilet. It is part of the human process to

90
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: learn how to use it when you're an adult. If

91
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: you start defecating in public, you will be held accountable.

92
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: You can be arrested, you can be given a citation,

93
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: public exposure if you know, defecating a public if it's

94
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: all crimes. So, at some point you get past the

95
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: learning process into the punishment stage. You can't abide by

96
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: society's rule. You get punished. You were convicted of a crime.

97
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: That's why you're on probation. Why would we be rewarding

98
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: someone for showing up and visiting the probation officer or

99
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: not cutting off their ankle monitor or something along those lines,

100
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: when they should full well know that there are consequences

101
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: for violating the terms of probation, which should mean guess what,

102
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: probation's over. It was a temporary gift to allow you

103
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: to remain free subject to being revoked.

104
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 4: Great, and it's even more out of it's even more

105
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 4: out of control. Than that, because a lot of the

106
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 4: Democrats judges now are terminating people on probation when they

107
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,799
Speaker 4: haven't even done half of the requirements. They're saying, Okay,

108
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 4: well you you did kind of enough, so we're going

109
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 4: to terminate probation because they want their stats to show

110
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 4: that people are not on probation as long, and that

111
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: shows their method is succeeding. Because people must be succeeding

112
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 4: more on probation, right because they're not on probation. That's

113
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 4: just not how it works. So the biggest, the biggest

114
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 4: problem here is this no cash bail reform nationally. So

115
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 4: I was talking to h some of the other judges

116
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 4: and they were saying, if it weren't for mandatory sentences

117
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 4: and some of these guns crimes and things, we don't

118
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 4: think some of these judges would ever lock anyone up.

119
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 4: We think some of the judges would not lock anyone

120
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 4: up pre trial or even after conviction. I mean, god, right,

121
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: thank god, we have some mandatory sentences, some types of crimes.

122
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: But this is all coming from this is all coming

123
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: from the woke side of the political ledger, the same

124
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: side of the political ledger of the ones to take

125
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,119
Speaker 1: away our second Amendment right to keep them bare arms

126
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: and who thinks that. You know, firearms have to be

127
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: the biggest existential threat to the world, but they won't

128
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: punish someone for actually committing a crime with a firearm.

129
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 4: Okay, exactly, And what is the deterrence if you're committing

130
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 4: these violent crimes and the worst thing that can happen

131
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 4: to you is you get some free Reds tickets or something, right,

132
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 4: I mean, where is any of the punishment.

133
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: It's that insative only works for Reds fans.

134
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 4: Oh, that's a good point. That's a good point. But

135
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 4: when I worked in juvenile court as a prosecutor, juvenile

136
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 4: court is focused on rehabilitation. We are trying to rehabilitate

137
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 4: juvenile you know, all the social working type things for them.

138
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 4: That's appropriate, But in adult court there has to be

139
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 4: some sense of punishment. Of course, if someone's incarcerated, we're

140
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 4: going to try to rehabilitate them. There are tons of

141
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: programs for that. But the main goal cannot just be

142
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 4: to rehabilitate everyone. There has to be some sense of

143
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 4: punishment in there for bad actors.

144
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Yes, it's how the criminal justice system functions. It's the

145
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: core key leg to the criminal justice system. I'm not

146
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: going to commit a crime because I don't want to

147
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: be punished. I don't want to lose my liberties. I

148
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: don't want a record. That should be enough sentence center

149
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: for everyone to not want to go down that road.

150
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: Soften that blow, make it something that you're not charged

151
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: for or held accountable for. People are going to engage

152
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: in that behavior. Thus it has ever been Betsy Sunderman,

153
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: Judge Betsy Sunnerman, Let's keep it, Judge Betsy Sunnamon. Go

00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: to Betsysonnamon dot com. Help her out in any way possible.

155
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: Get out and vote. Vote early voting is going on

156
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,080
