00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:21.640
<v Speaker 3>getting ready to do on Monday.

31
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:25.760
<v Speaker 4>Thank you very much, Earl. Appreciate you and community of

32
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 4>Bartlesville and Potter family giving us an opportunity to be

33
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.879
<v Speaker 4>here this morning in some more rainy weather.

34
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.480
<v Speaker 2>I haven't had enough of that. No. Now, we first

35
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 2>got introduced to you here a little bit ago when

36
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>he ran from Congress, and he made many trips in here,

37
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:46.879
<v Speaker 2>so you're a familiar face to a lot of folks,

38
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 2>but to those who might not know you, tell us

39
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.319
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about what you got going on and

40
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 2>what you're run for. Well.

41
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 4>Appreciate that we ran for Congress a couple of years ago,

42
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:03.439
<v Speaker 4>but our career has been spent in insurance industry, and

43
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 4>so Glenn mull Rady is your current insurance commissioner. Glenn

44
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 4>turns out in twenty twenty six, so next June will

45
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 4>be the Republican primary. So we have basically a year

46
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 4>from now to get ready to you know, earn people's

47
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 4>vote and Borrowsville's a strong community and full of good

48
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 4>people and a lot of good things going on, and

49
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 4>we want to build a good network here. But it's

50
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.840
<v Speaker 4>our plan next Monday to announce that we're running for

51
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:34.879
<v Speaker 4>insurance commissioner.

52
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 2>That's the plan.

53
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 3>Now.

54
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 2>The job of the insurance commissioner you hear insurance and

55
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.919
<v Speaker 2>then you hear commissioner is to pretty much oversee how

56
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 2>things are running as far as insurance correct or correct me, I'm.

57
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 4>It's you know, the insurance commissioner is you know, he's

58
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:53.960
<v Speaker 4>responsible for the statutes and the regulations that are in

59
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:58.560
<v Speaker 4>place and whether that's you know. Another part of it

60
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.400
<v Speaker 4>that people forget is you want to competitive marketplace. So

61
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.479
<v Speaker 4>you want an environment that people in the insurance industry

62
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.400
<v Speaker 4>want to do business in Oklahoma. Currently, for example, we

63
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 4>have about one hundred companies that are able to write

64
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 4>homeowners insurance. There's only probably fifty plus companies that are

65
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 4>currently engaged in writing homeowners But you want that market

66
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 4>competitive because, as in any other marketplace, the more competition

67
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 4>that you have, the better the price is. Now, having

68
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:34.000
<v Speaker 4>said that, everybody that's listening to this radio station knows

69
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 4>that their homeowners' rates have went up, and we want

70
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 4>to make sure in the future, especially in my opinion,

71
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.960
<v Speaker 4>the consumers where everything starts. If you don't have a consumer,

72
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 4>whether that's an agency for us or whether that's the

73
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 4>people that are buying the products, you don't have a

74
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 4>good consumer foundation. You don't have companies to do business with.

75
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:57.039
<v Speaker 4>But the office, in my opinion, is kind of like

76
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 4>a scale. One day you're dealing with corporate rations and

77
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 4>trying to create an environment that they want to do

78
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.960
<v Speaker 4>business in, and then the next day you're dealing in

79
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 4>an environment that you're making sure that the consumer is protected,

80
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:17.600
<v Speaker 4>making sure that the consumer is covered properly when claims

81
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 4>time comes. You want to make sure that those companies

82
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 4>are financially stable, got enough reserves that they can fulfill

83
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.399
<v Speaker 4>the promise that they've made to that consumer a few

84
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.199
<v Speaker 4>years back when they sold them that product.

85
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Don't think you're going to be busy, be a little busy.

86
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 4>I think you can be as busy as you want to.

87
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.519
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of things that go on in other states.

88
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 4>There's a constant pressure or has been at least has

89
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 4>been a constant pressure from the federal government wanting to

90
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 4>be involved as much as possible, so we'll have to

91
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 4>look out for those type of things we're more than

92
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:50.480
<v Speaker 4>capable of. In oklahoma've taken care of our insurance problems

93
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.560
<v Speaker 4>and insurance needs in the marketplace that the commissioner's responsible for.

94
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Now you've been in the insurance business. Where do you

95
00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:59.680
<v Speaker 2>see place where we can improve?

96
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 4>Well, Like I say, I think the most important thing

97
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 4>is because you'll be in a campaign, you're going to

98
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.600
<v Speaker 4>kind of be pigeonholed one way or the other, you know,

99
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.079
<v Speaker 4>or are you gonna be bomped by the legal side

100
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.800
<v Speaker 4>of things. You're gonna be bomped by the commission corporation

101
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.199
<v Speaker 4>side of things. But at the end of the day,

102
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:21.000
<v Speaker 4>you have to deal with corporations, the legal system, and

103
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.279
<v Speaker 4>the consumer base. So there's gonna be that constant battle.

104
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 4>I think the best way and I think ear old

105
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.480
<v Speaker 4>with a test to this, the reputation that I've tried

106
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 4>to build at least is one that can be trusted,

107
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.720
<v Speaker 4>one that that you can you can talk to if

108
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 4>you've got an issue, if you've got a problem, more

109
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 4>than willing to listen to. And then at the end

110
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.360
<v Speaker 4>of the day, you have to you have to have

111
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.759
<v Speaker 4>somebody that knows the difference between right and wrong and uh.

112
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.360
<v Speaker 4>And that's where that's where my base is going to be.

113
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:50.839
<v Speaker 4>Is you want to make the decisions that are right

114
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:54.879
<v Speaker 4>based off of the information that you're that you have

115
00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:57.480
<v Speaker 4>in front of you, and at the same time not

116
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.480
<v Speaker 4>have too much influence from out to sway you one

117
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:03.879
<v Speaker 4>way or the other. But you know, in the political

118
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.319
<v Speaker 4>campaign there'll be there'll be a lot of things out

119
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 4>there that'll be trying to paint you one way or

120
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 4>the other. But the insurance, there won't be anybody else

121
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 4>in the race that'll have more insurance in more areas.

122
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 4>I've been a legislator, but I've been a consumer longer

123
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 4>than I have anything else. I've been an agent, I've

124
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 4>been a manager, been an owner. I tell people all

125
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.480
<v Speaker 4>the time, I want I want people to really know

126
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.680
<v Speaker 4>where I started, and that's you started on a poultry

127
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:35.600
<v Speaker 4>farm and a cattle farm and then graduated in the

128
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 4>sixth grade, graduated to flipping hamburgers and waiting table and

129
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.759
<v Speaker 4>washing dishes. So I can relate to almost anybody out

130
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:45.839
<v Speaker 4>out here this morning and listening to us on the radio.

131
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, Earl sounds like you brought in a good one again.

132
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, I just need to jump in here because he

133
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 3>just said I think Earl will confirmed this and I

134
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.560
<v Speaker 3>and not only can I confirm it, but I want to.

135
00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:59.519
<v Speaker 3>I want my my all my friends and my Borerswell

136
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:04.800
<v Speaker 3>community to know. Glenn Malready, who is your insurance commission

137
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:08.160
<v Speaker 3>right now, has done a phenomenal job serving the people

138
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 3>of Ooklahoma. Glenn and I are near and dear friends.

139
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.160
<v Speaker 3>He was my seat mate for a year and a

140
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 3>half on my last two years in the House of Representatives.

141
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.759
<v Speaker 3>A man of integrity has just done a phenomenal job.

142
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.199
<v Speaker 3>But we have term limits in the great state of Oklahoma,

143
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.360
<v Speaker 3>which is right, and I really appreciate term limits. So

144
00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 3>now we have an opportunity to put another person in

145
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 3>that position, which leads to what Marty Quinn, who's setting

146
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.560
<v Speaker 3>to my right but here in our community today, a

147
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 3>man of integrity absolutely made the comment he talked to

148
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.279
<v Speaker 3>anybody and deal with any situation. And that's what I

149
00:07:43.360 --> 00:07:46.600
<v Speaker 3>just admire about him. Just Marty is one that wants

150
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.759
<v Speaker 3>to serve the people. He's done it faithfully when he

151
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.959
<v Speaker 3>was a House of Representatives and he went to the Senate,

152
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:57.399
<v Speaker 3>he did run for Congress, but our particular district chose

153
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.839
<v Speaker 3>another member. Fully understand that, but he ran a good race.

154
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.360
<v Speaker 3>But now then we have an opportunity to put someone

155
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.480
<v Speaker 3>in as our insurance commissioner. And you could not find

156
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:09.839
<v Speaker 3>a finer gentleman and again a man of integrity. His

157
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.480
<v Speaker 3>work ethic is just above and beyond, and he will

158
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.199
<v Speaker 3>serve the people of Oklahoma. And I'm looking forward to

159
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.759
<v Speaker 3>bringing him back to Bartersville. And I'm looking forward to

160
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.959
<v Speaker 3>his announcement on Monday in regards to running for this office.

161
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.399
<v Speaker 3>So Marty, all the best to you, and I want

162
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:25.560
<v Speaker 3>you to come back to Barsville.

163
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:25.959
<v Speaker 4>Thank you.

164
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.639
<v Speaker 2>All right, I guess next time we see you you'll

165
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:30.560
<v Speaker 2>have a website of right exactly.

166
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 4>That's all going to be official on Monday.

167
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.000
<v Speaker 2>We'll wait then. I don't want to get into the weeds,
