  Speaker 1: A thirty eight fifty above Kerseity Talk station. Mary is
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: I can see him from the High Press Network, the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Ohio Press Network dot com. Jack Winsor, Jack Winsor, Welcome
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: back to the Morning Show. Missed you in the last segment, Brian.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: It's good to be with you, Always good to be
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: with you. Thank you for choosing me today.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it, and I appreciate you posting the article and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: doing the Record's request to get some background information on
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: that nine to one one call from several years ago,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: doctor Amy Acton. There's been an ad campaign running about
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: her issues with drugs and alcohol and some involvement with
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: law enforcement. This sort of adds an additional background information
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: on that, doesn't it.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Jack, Yeah, it does. If you remember back in April,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: when this story first broke on the national scene, NBC
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: broke the story and a couple of things happened. Amy
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Acton's running mate, David Pepper was the guy that was saying, well, listen,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: we don't know who called. Whoever called was probably concerned
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: about Amy and about what was going on for her.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: And then, of course the campaign said that she only
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: had one drink that night and in the police reported
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and indicated that there was a mirror that had shattered
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: and they said, well, you know she bumped the mirror. Well,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: we were able to get our hands on the nine
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: to one to one call log, and what we were
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: able to determine is that it was Amy Actin's daughter
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: who made the phone call, and she said, as was
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: put down in the report, quote, mom has been drinking
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: and throwing things and breaking glass. So with that, that
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: to me says that maybe David Pepper didn't know who
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: made the call, but his assertion that we're not sure
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: who made the call and it was probably somebody concerned
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: about Amy act and that seems to be honest ear now,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: because it was her daughter. And the daughter didn't say,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: hey dad, my stepdad's drinking, he's throwing stuff. She said,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Mom has been drinking and throwing things and breaking glass.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: So it certainly makes it look like they tried a
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: CYA operation back in April, and that now seems to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: be exposed.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Now, is this a separate incident involving suggestions of alcohol
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: use maybe excessive with Amy acting beyond just this nine
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: one one call. Is this nine to one call is
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: an independent incident compared to the one that was discussed
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in the ad campaign.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: For example, Jack, great question, Glad you asked it. It
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: really is the same call, Okay. So this ties back
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: to a twenty nineteen incident at her home where she
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and her husband Eric were in a dispute and according
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to the caller, her daughter, she was throwing things, breaking glass.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: That police report also indicates that she went to the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: garage and she was going to leave and her husband
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: talked her out of it. In the incident report, it
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: indicates that both he and her her had been drinking.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Didn't say how much. The campaign says one drink, but
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: it also indicates that she had taken an unknown amount
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: of prescription medication. Now, the campaign says that was just
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: medication for migraine headaches, but it begs the question if
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: she was asked if she had taken any medication, why
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: didn't she just say, well, yeah, I took the one
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: pill or the two pills for the migraines. It was
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: an unknown amount, so I don't know if that means
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: it was excessive. But here's the other thing we were
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: able to learn and include in the story that I
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: published yesterday. This is the second incident. There was a
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: phone call back in twenty thirteen that was made by
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a daughter because Amy Act and her then husband were
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: in what appeared to be a dispute. I don't know
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: if it was verbal physical, but it does not indicate
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: in the report that there was any physical violence. But
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: it was the second time that a daughter had called
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: because they were concerned that Amy Acting was in an
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: altercation with her spouse.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: So no issue of or or in factual information is
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: whether that related any alcohol or drug use. Just a
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: domestic dispute.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Just a domestic dispute. That's right. And one thing I
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: should add, Brian, since you asked. The way the campaign
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: has tied this back is that when Amy Acting applied
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: for medical school, on her application there was a question
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that asked if she had ever been treated for alcohol, drugs,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: or some sort of mental health issue. She indicated yes,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: And so some people look at that and go, okay,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: was she talking about drugs and alcohol, because now in
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, there's something on the record that indicates she
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: was consuming alcohol, had taken an unknown number of prescription medications.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Now her campaign claims that that box check was about
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: mental health treatment, that Amy Acting had been molested as
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a child, And look, I'm not going to judge that.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: If that that's the case, that's terrible and good for
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: her forgetting treatment. But it certainly has a lot of
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: people wondering whether she has had or battled in the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: past alcohol and drug issues.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Well, clearly this is an issue people are paying attention to.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Obviously there's an entire ad campaign swirling around these claims,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and of course these documented claims. Is this going to
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: be an appropriate subject matter for a debate, for example,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: with her in vivig Ramaswami?
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I think it is right because who you are as
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: a person affects your ability to show up every day
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to make the right decisions. And when you're the governor
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: of the state of Ohio, it's not about can you
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: function healthily in a marriage? Can you act on the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: behalf as a good steward of eleven point seven million Ohioans.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: But I think the bigger issue there, Brian, is Amy
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: actin going to debate? And maybe the second part of
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: that question, the second part that we need to be asking,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: is where is Amy actin outside of the things that
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: she does in front of groups of people that like her.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Have we seen her take any hard questions, have we
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: seen her commit to a debate? I have not seen
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: that yet.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Or you know, just to clear the air of all
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the swirling speculation, come out and issue a statement. Hi,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: it's me. I'm not taking questions today, but in order
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to address these swirling accusations, I've got a drug an
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: alcohol problem. Let me assure you I do not, or
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: let me explain exactly what happens, so you don't speculate
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and wonder and draw conclusions about my character based upon
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a political action committee adds. You know, that's what you got.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: This is out there. You're gonna have to address it
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: at some point anyway. That will be my take on it,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Jack Winsor. But then again, I'm not nor will I
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: ever run for political office. From the Ipress network dot com,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: don't away, Jack, because we're gonna be talking about the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: socialist housing policy and maybe a word or two about
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the John Houston Shared Brown Race. More with Jack Windsor
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: after these brief.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Words fifty five Krson fifty five KRCD talk station, A fifty.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: If pitty by KRCD talk station. Right time, I speak
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: with Jack Windsor from the High Press Network and pivoting
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: over Jack Windsor Well, all housing policies I think from
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: government these days are socialists. So what's the story with
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: this one? And how much is it going to cost
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Ohio families?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Jack Well, Listen, whenever there is any type of control
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: with respect to housing, we've got to hit the economics
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: of it. Brian, Right, government intervention. I mean, you can
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: look at the crazy stuff that goes on out in
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: New York, and sometimes people clamor for that right when
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: things are not as affordable as we would like, But
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: you have to look at maybe what the unintended consequence is.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: And when you start dickering with pricing controls and housing controls,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: what ends up happening over the intermediate and long term
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: is supply collapses and units go dark because when rants
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: are frozen, taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs, those things keep rising,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: and you know, landlords stop renovating or even renting vacant units.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Buildings eventually deteriorate, so quality craters, and then what ends
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: up happening is that market rate rents get driven higher
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: and new construction gets chilled, which is certainly not the
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: way the direction we want to go with housing supply.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: In twenty twenty six.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole concept. Who in their right mind would
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: build multiple dwelling units, you know, apartment buildings when they're
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: told they're going to be capped on the rent that
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: they can charge. I mean, as you point out, inflation
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: is never static. It always goes more. It gets more
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and more expensive every year. So you know it's going
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to be more expensive to repair the place, to heat it,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to air condition whatever. So you've got to be able
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to raise the rent. I mean, it's not a working
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: business model if your rent is controlled.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Well listen, I again, people criticize me a lot. I
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: think you and I are probably cut from the exact
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: same claw off on this. It's amazing what the free
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: market will do when the government stays out of the way.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Let me give you an example. I had somebody send
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: me a video earlier this week about prices in Perry
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: and Muskingham County of gasoline going up almost a dollar
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: soon after Governor Mike Dwine announced the emergency there because
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: of the inclement weather the flooding, And your visceral response is, well,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: you shouldn't do that, okay, And in some states there
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: are statutes that say you can't do that. But that's
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: not the case in Ohio. And when we looked at
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: what was going on in the larger area, prices had
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: gone up, and so it wasn't just for that area.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: But the whole point is that's the natural market. What
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: happens is the price goes up that deters people from
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: hoarding gasoline and taking it so other people can't have it.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: And again I'm a huge free market guy. It's people
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: like the free market, they just don't like those intermediate
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: times where maybe they can't afford what they think they
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: want fair.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Enough, Jack windsor if you words on the current status
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of the John Houston Shared Brown race, it's a little close.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Are too close for comfort? Matter of fact, maybe Houston
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: underwater from some of the polling.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so depending on what you're looking at. I think
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: there was a Fox Beacon Shaw poll has Brown of
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: eight points. Things that are concerning to me just looking
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: at it. Brown's favorability is plus eight. Houstead is underwater
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: at negative ten. That's concerning independence right now, are breaking
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: very hard for Shared Brown. He has a double digit
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: crossover from the Make America Great Again Republican crowd women
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: under forty five, urban and suburban lean for Brown, rural
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: men lean for Houstead. Inflation, affordability, It's still the whole Anchilada, Brian,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: That's what voters care about. This is a really hard
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: national environment. I don't know economically if things are going
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: to turn around so that people feel like things are
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: more affordable. The only thing that I I think is
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: a solid maybe consolation for John Houstead is that Trump
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: has won this area, won this state by eleven points
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: in the past, and again it's going to come down
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: to turn out. But our Republican's going to be fired
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: up enough to get out to the polls in November
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: and vote for John Houstad. Other aggregates have this almost
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: neck and neck. But that again that Fox pulls a
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: little concerning.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's an economic lesson needs to be taught.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Granted that the situation where the trade of hormones has
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: indeed impacted gasoline. It's not that we don't have the oil.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: The resource isn't limited. It's the refining and getting it
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: out of where it is out to the open market.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: So it's a market interruption and you can blame that
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: on Trump if you want. I think there's a logical
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: connection there or equal to shut down the increase. But
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: with regard to inflation, generally speaking, that's the trillions of
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: dollars at the printing press. Now Republicans bear some responsibility
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: for that as well. But when the value of the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: dollar loses one third over a period of time less
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: than a year, I think I read that since twenty
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: nineteen one third less buying power. That's the watering down
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of the currency. And you can't put that at the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: feet of Trump alone. It's you know, administration after administration
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: running the printing press. But if you want to find
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: blame for the current round of inflation, well, isn't it
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the Green New Deal that we were sold, the Inflation
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Reduction Act, which really wasn't It was three trillion additional
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: dollars thrown into the world based upon one bill alone.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Jack, Listen that you're absolutely right, And here's the problem
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: you probably confront this. People have short memories, and I
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: feel like when we say that and it is the truth,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: people go, okay, but Trump's been in office how long.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of that excuse because the reality is most
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: presidents do do that. They blame their predecessor, absolutely times appropriately,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: sometimes inappropriately. Here it's appropriate. I just don't know if
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: people are.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Buying it, Jack windsor theehigh Press Network dot com where
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: you fine and bookmark the site, you'd be glad you did. Jack.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Hopefully we can do this again next week.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir, thank you, Brian.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I have a great weekend. Sate fifty six if you
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: five carries to the Detalx station tech part with Dave
