Friday Mornings with Jack Windsor - Do you believe in Bigfoot? · Brian Thomas

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: A twenty nine. If you have kroc de talk station,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: it's Friday, which means the return oh Jack Windsor from
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the High Press Network. I see you there, Jack, the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: little zoom thing working now and you're in screen. Fortunately
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: you weren't for a moment ago. I didn't think you
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: were there, and that always worries the hell out of you.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Joe, Joe, Is he there?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Anyway?
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Jack?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: You find Jack online and you bookmark the website because
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you're gonna love at the Ohio Pressnetwork dot com reporting
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: on lots of matters going on in Ohio, including topic
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: number one. And I've been cracking up. What in the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: hell's with you in Bigfoot? Man? I mean, you know
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I am not a Bigfoot believer, good cause you would
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: have been duped like so many other people. Jack read
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal article from John Jurgensen outlining the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: new movie that came out, letting everybody know that it
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: was all a hoax, going back to what his dad
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: did and faking that video back in nineteen sixty seven.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Thank you for pointing that out.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: So part of why we published the story is that
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: there were six and I used it in I see
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: marks credible Bigfoot sighting incredible. When I talked about it
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: on air, I said, well, whoever deems them credible? Apparently
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: it's the Bigfoot Society and the Bigfoot Mapping Project, probably
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: two entities that want these things to be true, or
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: at least want people to think they're true so that
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: their membership and support goes up. But I digress sales. Yeah,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: that's right. Here's what's interesting about this to me? Are
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: there people who truly believe it? And what did these
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: people see or are they lying? Okay, so it happens
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: on six different occasions in one area, and maybe it
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: is some conspiracy that ties them all together. But here's
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: where my head went, and it's probably wrong, but if
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: you remember, there was a drug trafficking case involving an
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: incarcerated prisoner and a big network of people, and what
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: we learned as we dug through the facts is that
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: one lady talked about using a drone that actually looked
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: like a bird in order to ship these drugs. And
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I thought, Okay, wouldn't it be interesting if these people
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: dressed as Bigfoot? We're out doing the various things. Now
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: I shouldn't say that on air because now people will
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: probably try to capture them and see what they hell
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: they're up to. But nonetheless, six credible bigfoot sightings is
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: something that hasn't happened since the nineteen seventies.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I thought, well, we ought to probably take a look
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: at that. Okay.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I take issue with the word credible, because let me
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: ask us a simple question, Jack Winsor, in all the
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: years that people who believed in Sasquatch and Bigfoot and
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell you want to call this fictisous being
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: question for those who really believe in them, where do
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the big feet go to die? How come we haven't
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: run across the big Foot carcass? Do they bury themselves
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: ahead of time? Are they immortal? Just asking for a friend, Jack.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well I'll tell you the answer that I get.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: They find these portals that are interdimensional travel tunnels, maybe
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: they go there to die.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Credible sources confirming what Jack Winsor just said. And also
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the other correlator or corollary to this is are they
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: some sort of a subset of the broader category of
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: lizard people which some people think are real?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, lizard people, moth men? I don't know.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: There may be this entire genre of human like beings
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: that we just don't understand yet.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Perhaps, Also, where did chop a cobbra go to die?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Apparently they're all over the place too, except we can't
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: find any dead ones laying around.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Okay, I will tell you this. Here's the best part
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: of this for me. Do you know how Bigfoot tells time?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Brian no sas squatch?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's a Joe doesn't have a rim shot on
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: SoundBite ready, ready, readily hand handy Jack.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: The kids didn't even laugh at that when I know
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: it's not good. But that's all I could muster after
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: this Bigfoot story.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Fair enough?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, we'll keep We'll be keeping in touch
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: with your hogh press network dot com. Make sure we're
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: all up to speed on Bigfoot in the sightings anyhow.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Pivoting over Donald Trump visited the other day. Your reaction
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to the visit, generally speaking, Jack windsor.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Well, I think the reaction is it's good for him
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: to be out and about touting his economic plan. Thermo
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Fisher is one of the Ohio places that he stopped by,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: and they were able to grab a quote from a
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: woman there who says that their business is doubling because
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: of some of the things that are going on. I
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: think that's important, But don't lose sight of the fact
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: that he stopped in Kentucky and in the same district
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: where he has supported a primary candidate that is opposing
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Congressman Thomas.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Massive yah ed Gowran.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: You know that's right, that's right now. I think it's important.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: It's all about messaging, Brian, and so as Trump gets
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: out and spreads the message more about Trump, RX, about
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: drug price, is about the economy, and explains what's going
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: on in Iran. I think that's better for Republicans that
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: are that are aligned with.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Him well and being aligned with Congressman Mai Massey on
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: things constitutional. He is a very strict interpretation is to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the Constitution. He fights to uphold it in the face
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: of many and most politicians wanting to play fast and
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: loose with the with what's in the Constitution, the rights
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: that are protected by the Constitution. He didn't vow and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: swear an oath to the Republican Party, which is a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: statement from Donald Trump that rubbed me the wrong way.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: While he was there in Kentucky, he attacked him for
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: like abandoning the Republican Party, and yet Congress from Massie
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: can stand on principle and say I swore an oath
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to the Constitution, and he has done probably a better
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: job than any of the politician at least reminding people
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: about what the Constitution says.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Yeah.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: If there is something I will say about Thomas Massey,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I've had the honor of interviewing him twice. It's that
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: you know what you're gonna get, Amen. Thomas Massey comes
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: from the same position every single time. Is is it constitutional?
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: And if I strictly interpret that and try to spread
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: that out over this policy, over this position, you know
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: where you are now.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: There are some Congressmen that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Are in some hot water about recent positions with respect
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: to Iran that you kind of look at and go, oh,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: maybe you don't want to go there, But you know
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: where Massi's coming from all the time.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And in spite of how great the outcome may end
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: up for the entire globe with Iran, you still have
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to deal with the legal realities. There are different interpretations
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of what it means to declare war and who has
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that power. We have the war Powers resolution to contend with, too,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: which also may be in constitutional never tested in court,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: but different perceptions, different realities. You may not like what
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: he says, but I think he is consistent as he
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: always has been with his interpretation of the Constitution. So
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: there we have it. We'll continue with Jack Winsor and
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: find out what he thinks about Dwine's latest State of
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the State address eight fifty five Caroseed Talk Station. Always
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: enjoy these conversations with Jack Winsor from the Ohio Press
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Network editor in chief. He is and he also writes
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: many articles at the ohiopressnetwork dot com. Jack wins Or,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I saw your piece on the state. Last State of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the State we get from Governor Mike Dwine, your thoughts
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and comments, reactions, and some of the things he had
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: to say. I know we talked a lot about artificial
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: intelligence and tech issues, and I appreciate this sentiment behind
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: that he wants new law forcing cell phone tech manufacturers
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: to make an automatic parental controls in there to let
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: parents track and limit content. There are applications out there
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you can do on your own if you're not informed
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: along those lines. We have Tech Friday Dave Hatter every
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Friday in the morning show reminding us yes, you can do
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that already.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Do we need a law for this, Jack, No, we
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: do not.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: This is again Governor Mike DeWine playing benevolent grandpa, where
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: he wants people to perceive him as the guy that
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: cares about kids and takes care of everything. Now, this
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: to me is no different than Shared Brown touting a
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: shrinkflation bill telling businesses how they're going to package their products.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Governor Mike Dwine might be well intended, but telling tech
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: companies that they have to do X, Y and Z
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: is him stepping over the line from the public sector
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: into the private sector, where he has no business being
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: and where lawmakers I don't think in this instance have
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: any place.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: To go what was popular.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I actually agree we have to get our minds and
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: laws around. This is tackling some of the AI dangers.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: You've seen headlines in the past couple of weeks about
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: people who are using AI and they're making those AI
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: caricatures or whatever you want to call them, look like
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: miners for pornographic reads. Since I think that is disgusting
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: as it is something that we do need to come against,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: and so I think there is support for that. But
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: then you know he also talked about reviving Ohio's seat
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: belt law. That's something that I think is going to
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: die with that speech.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Look if I.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Want, if you want to wear a seat belt, Brian,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: and I think great bay telling me to do it
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: is none of the guideliness.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I ride a motorcycle, not as much as I used to,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: but always wear a helmet. You got a ten dollars head,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: at least put it in a ten dollars bucket. But
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to tell you have to do it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: It just seems to make common sense. My head sliding
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: along a pavement at fifty miles an hour without a
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: helmet is enough of a threat to get me to
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: do the right thing. Same thing with a seat belt.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Put it on, You're going to end up in an
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: airbag at minimum.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Well, and if I'm wrong here, please prove me wrong
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: and I will accept responsibility. But where this is asinine
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: to me is that I think he actually commissioned to
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: study about putting seat belts in school buses, because my
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: argument is, if you're going to force somebody in a car,
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: why aren't our kids seat belt you know, protected?
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Then?
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: And somehow I think that study came out that it
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: was just not a good idea. Okay, if we have
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: jumped the shark konzi. If it's not a good idea
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: for kids in the school bus, then we cannot require
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: adults in cars to wear them as well. But one
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: thing that I do appreciate is that he continues to
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: tout Ohio's science of reading, which I think has a
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: mountain of evidence behind it. I think Ohio, like many states,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: suffered just dangerous levels of academic and education and loss
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: during COVID, and we need to make sure that kids
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: maintain a level of literacy, and the science of reading
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: is the way to do that. There are laws on
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: the books, and he's saying, look, we're going to put
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: together some groups to help make sure that our resources
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: to help make sure that that is actually what is taught.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: The people who are teaching reading that they understand how
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: to teach it. So that's a good thing. But then
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: he kind of went down the path again and oh, look,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: we're going to use another tool to track student attendance.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: We're going to create a dashboard, and he lost me again.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: There there are a lot of people, Brian in my
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: world who are celebrating probably popped some Champagne on Tuesday,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: realizing that that is the last time they need to
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: watch or hear Governor Dwine deliver.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: A state of the state.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Amy Acton was appeared by his side
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: many times, rubbing many of my listeners the wrong way
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: over during the COVID period, Amy lockdown acting, you do
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: have choices when it comes to the next governor. I
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want to get down that road. So we've learned
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a lot from the Dwine administration, have we not?
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: He created that monster? Brian, thank you for going to that.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: And by the way, maybe I shouldn't ask you a question.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Do you put any stock in the poll that we
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: saw yesterday that has Amy acted ten points onto a
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: bak Ramaswami?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, good, No, although you know I'm glad you brought
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: up Eva Ramaswami clearly obviously a segue for that. But
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I have met people I have had it explained to
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: me that the opposition of Viva Ramasami springs almost purely
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: not because he's a wildly successful businessman, ornything because he's Hindu.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: We live in a theocracy. No, we don't live in
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: a theoto. Can they promise on me make.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Me worship the Hindu religion or otherwise change religious affiliation.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Does he have a power to even suggest that.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: No, he doesn't, and I think that's why he's stayed
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: in tight in the lane about the policy positions. But
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: that will become an issue for people who want it
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: to become an issue. But what will be interesting is
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: to talk about Amy act and what's her belief system,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: because we can talk about abortion all day long. I
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: don't think she's a Christian, but now we're going to punish.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: So we're going to go down that road and I'm
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: going to get fired up. But I will say this,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I think one of the things that Republicans are going
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: to have to come to a reckoning on is I
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: don't think it's just him being Hindu. I'm going to
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: say this, and it's probably going to perturb some people.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I think it's that he has brown skin in a
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: funny last name. I think that's one of the things
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: that some Republicans in certain circles still struggle with.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: And so we're going to see.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: It is racist one hundred percent, and that is that
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: is exactly what some of the feedback we get is that, oh,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I don't want him to support these visas.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I don't want him bringing people from India over. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: don't want X, Y and Z.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: He's an Indian and I'm thinking, man, I thought the party,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: you know, had a better look about it than that.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: But that is still an issue for some Republicans unfortunately.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Well, not to maybe mistake her nationality, but I do
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: believe my cancer doctor who I will be seeing today
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: for my treatment is from India and she's a hell
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: of a great doctor. How about that, Listen, I don't
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: get it, man.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: You know, my family came from England, and my mom
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: and her family are Native American. And by the way,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: America is the great melting pot. The only problem that
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I think I have with immigration is that when it's
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: not done lawfully, and am to jump each other in
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: the line, and we're not strategic about it, and we
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: allow criminals in. Otherwise, America is the great melting pot,
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: and so we should welcome people like vivik Ramaswami to
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: lead our state.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And I agree, and I just go back to my
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: immigrant history. The difference between then and now. You can
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: be libertarian in a perception about open borders, but when
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: open borders means automatic access and rights to the public
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: city and all the social welfare programs. And you can't
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: keep a hold on the numbers, you end up bleeding
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: heart yourself into death right. I mean, that's what's going
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: on right now. Look at our deficit.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Well, not only are we seeing resources stretched thin I
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: was boots on the ground covering it up close in Springfield,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Ohio with the Haitian population.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: I know for a fact that exists.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: But let's just look as far back as yesterday, Brian,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: two tragic shootings here in the United States of America,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: both perpetrated by people who were somehow ideologically infiltrated by
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: ISIS terrorists. That is a significant issue. When you have
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: a welcome matt instead of a border wall for four
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: years and you allow whatever the number is, ten million,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: fifteen million, twenty million people in, you start to see
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: how tragic that can be. That's my biggest heartburn, Brian,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: is that there are people here who hate this country
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: and they came in under the Biden administration. Not only
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: are they stretching our resources, but they have they have
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: the ability to make our communities extremely unsafe.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: They do. And that's one thing you say about legal
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: immigration may be a challenge to get through the whole process,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and some say it's too difficult. At least you have
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: to take the time and the effort and learn and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: understand the founding principles of our country, which is a
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: great opportunity for us to ensure that they are coming
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: here to assimilate. They demonstrated a desire to assimilate by
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: going through the legal process, and that ensures a more
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: stable and well valuable workforce if they're willing to do
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the time recognizing that they have to actually work for
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: a living problem. Solve more with Jack Winsortheohio Pressnetwork dot com.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: We're gonna ask I'm asking him about Marcel Sturbage and
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Roberts Bregg since Robert Sprague preceded you on the morning show.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: This KOC the talk station eighty nine.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Little Dead Kennedy's going there, Thank you, Jostrekker closing out
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: to Dy by Gary Karrose Morning.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Show Jello Biofera.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: As we finish up one more segment here with Jack
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Winsor from the High Press Network. Thankfully we get him
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: every Friday for about a half hour and real quick
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: before we leave the State of the Year Union. The
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: last or State of the State address from Dwaine. Did
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: he have anything to say about energy policy? I mean,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: you mentioned artificial intelligence. We have a huge demand that's
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: coming our way. I know again shout out to Vivi Ramaswami.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Is all about maybe embracing these small modular reactors. I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: am a huge fan of them. It seems to be
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: the salvation of the world. But here we are with
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the opportunity that exists in these various facilities. Whether you
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: want one in your backyard or not, this is obviously
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the future. So either we get them or somebody else
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: gets them. What about the energy.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think sorry about that. He mentioned that Ohio
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: is site ready. That is the primary focal point of
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: what he talked about with respect to economic policy and advancement.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Now I will have to tell you about the final
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: ten minutes. I actually kind of tuned out. I listened,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: but I wasn't listening.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know that terrible.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: Probably there's a point beyond which his voice it just
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: kind of goes in one there and out the other.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: For me. But no, I think the way that he
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: positioned it is that Ohio is site ready. We've made
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: significant changes with respect to our energy marketplace with respect
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: to permitting, and so the way that he teed it up,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: he talked about places like joeb Aviation Anderill and how
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: those companies are here because Ohio is site ready, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: so I think he believes that we're kind of on
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: the bleeding edge there.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, and he's it's out of his hands,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I guess by now anyway, because this is year. This
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: will be years in the making to get to that point,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and we're at the front end of it. So at
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: least if we're site ready, that's one step that's knocked
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: down and we can move forward with hopefully under the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: under the control of Ramaswamy and anyway, pivoting over, we
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: have choices when it comes to Secretary of State. I
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: had treasure Robert Sprague on earlier, and you know, honestly,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I really really like Marcel Sturvage I've had I've talked
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: to him a couple of times. His energy, his enthusiasm,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: his command of the issues and what I mean. He
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: is a strong, strong candidate and he's got some great ideas.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I kind of flip a coin. If we get Sprague,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: if we at Marcel Sturbadge, I think neither one of
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: them is advancing any policies that I completely disagree with.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: But I did ask mister Sprague about the endorsement from
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the party ahead of the primary and if he thought
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: that was an appropriate thing to do. Of course, he said, well, listen,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the voters ultimately get the choice anyway. He's representative democracy
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: we live in. I appreciate the endorsement from the Republican Party.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: It is what it is. They do what they do,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: so I understand his point on that. But going back
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: to the issues, and I know you're a fan of
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Sturbridge as well. What's your take on all of this
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: as we and he didn't. He kind of well of
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: fuled a little bit about a debate.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Yes he did.
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: I've seen the rejection email where he states that they're
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: not going to debate it this time. So when he
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: says that we will see if we can find a
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: time in some kind of platform, he did, that's breaking news.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: So let's follow up on that and let's keep his
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: feet to the fire on it. And then he points
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: out that Trump didn't enter.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: The debate stage.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: By the way, I want to say this very firmly,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I really like Robert Sprague, I would he probably wouldn't
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: have a bourbon. I would have a bourbon. He'd probably
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: have a coffee, but I'd sit down and have drink
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: with the guy. And by the way, no, I don't
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: over consume bourbon. Just trying to be funny, Okay, But
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: he's no Trump. He's no Donald Trump, and I think
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: trying to compare himself to Donald Trump is quite a
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: bold move on his part. And the reason I say
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: that is if you go back and you listen to
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump in the eighties and nineties, he was saying
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: the same things then as he is today about China,
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: about America's position in the world. And then you look
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: at Robert Sprague and you go, Okay, Robert Sprague, if
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: you are so passionate about these election law and election
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: integrity changes, why didn't you pass or propose election integrity
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: legislation when you were in the legislature for eight years?
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Because I'm not seeing it. If somebody else is seeing it,
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: I would love to report on it. And here's my
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: big issue.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I like Robert Sprague, but if he refuses to debate
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: and just wants to defer to President Trump on that again,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: he's comparing the East to the West. He is not
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump. But if he wants to take on some
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: of the significant changes in Ohio, making sure only citizens
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: get on the voter rolls ensuring that mismatched voter forms
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: go to provisional status until proven offuthentic, outlawing third party
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: groups that register people. Now we'll talk about that maybe
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: a later time, because he's kind of bastardized that idea,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: and requiring photo ID for all voting that means getting
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: mail in ballots and then eliminating drought boxes. If he
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: wants to do all those, I'm going to tell you
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: he's not only going to get pressure from Democrats in lawsuits.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: He's going to get Republicans who go, oh, goy, you know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: gotcha really hard. If you can't debate your opponent who's
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: a Republican, how the hell are you going to stand
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: in the breach and do those hard things?
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Well, and he did sort of kind of bring that
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: up in the context of these election reforms, that the
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: counties will bear the way to responsibility for implementation, and
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: they're always complaining, like Republicans would be complaining against these reforms.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: We don't have the money or the ability to do that.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: I would like to think that somewhere in the vast
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: resources of the Higle budget they can come up with
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: enough money to deal with election integrity, the foundation of
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: our entire system of government.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, actually do an audit on the Somali daycare issue.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Pay attention to the reporting that we're going to have
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: come out in the next week or so that deals
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: with the billions of dollars in fraud in Ohio's medicaid system.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: So look, the money is there, Brian.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: You know this.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: I come from the business world, and we used to say,
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: if you want to get something done, give it to
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: a busy person, because a busy person knows how to prioritize.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: It's no different in politics. If you want to get
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: something done, make it a priority.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: That's an excuse.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Well stated Jack wendsorhiwpressnetwork dot com where you find him.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Check it out a bookmarket and tune in next Friday.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: We'll talk with Jack again at eight thirty on next Friday. Jack,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: have a great week and a great weekend, my friend,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: you too, Brian, God bless you, bless you appreciate your time.
