15
00:00:38.439 --> 00:00:40.320

<v Speaker 3>wreck northbound seventy five before you get to Ezer Charles,

17
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 3>So I'm not seen slow traffic out of downtown yet.

18
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:49.920

25
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>you back on the fifty five Caressey Morning Show.

26
00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Donald Brian's great to be back with you.

27
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.159
<v Speaker 1>Love what I'm reading in the Buckeye Blueprint, my friend.

28
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Let's start off with economic freedom. We're just kind of

29
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>a middle and middle of the pack kind of state.

30
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:26.159
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to the rest of the stage. We

31
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 1>do need to have some taxation reform, but it apparently

32
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 1>it transcends that and something that Congressman Thomas Massey just

33
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.159
<v Speaker 1>brought up the other day, the Rains Act.

34
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well we've got we've got a good track record, Brian.

35
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:42.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to. I don't want to, you know,

36
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.640
<v Speaker 2>shortstyle the work that's been done over the last couple

37
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.599
<v Speaker 2>of decades. But what we're really challenging folks to do,

38
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:50.879
<v Speaker 2>and that's at the heart of our Buckeye Blueprint, is

39
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.519
<v Speaker 2>take some of the big bold leaps forward. So when

40
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>it comes to taxes, we're on the right trajectory, but

41
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 2>more to be done. RAINS though, is really exciting. How

42
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 2>familiar are you, Brian, with the Rains Act and what

43
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:02.519
<v Speaker 2>that's all about.

44
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, as Congress from Massi explained to it, if any

45
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>regulation done by the regulatory administrative state that exists behind

46
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 1>the scenes are and behind the scenes are unelected officials

47
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:18.159
<v Speaker 1>has a financial impact beyond a certain threshold, then the

48
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>legislative branch must actually approve the regulation and the action.

49
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Correct. This is a big This is a big leap, Brian,

50
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 2>because usually when we talk about regulatory reform, we're talking

51
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 2>about like clearing out the dust and cobwebs, how much

52
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 2>it's going to cost, or how much PaperWorks involved in

53
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 2>complying with the regulatory rules and rule makers. What RAINS does, though,

54
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>is really exciting, is that actually requires the regulators, right

55
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>the deep state, to go in and actually explain how

56
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>much it's going to cost economically. So if they put

57
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 2>these rules into place, you think about what the EPA

58
00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 2>does to energy production, right, So what's the economic impact

59
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 2>of these rules that they're putting into place? And it

60
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:09.360
<v Speaker 2>really upends the ways we think about regulatory regulations and

61
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:14.240
<v Speaker 2>puts the onus on the regulators, not the businesses, to

62
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>make their argument for why the benefits of the regulation

63
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:23.800
<v Speaker 2>outweigh the economic burdening costs. It's impactful, it's big, and

64
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:29.680
<v Speaker 2>it has a multi generational impact on how we undo

65
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.360
<v Speaker 2>the big government.

66
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>With that question. And then once they make their argument

67
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 1>justifying the regulation and explaining how much it's going to

68
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 1>cost the taxpayers, then the legislator, the elected officials has

69
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.879
<v Speaker 1>to actually approve it. They have to pass it into

70
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 1>law and say Okay, that's the hurdle that they'll never overcome.

71
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's why we need the reins Act in place.

72
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.159
<v Speaker 1>And there's anything I can do or my listeners can

73
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 1>do to help you accomplish that goal. We need to

74
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 1>know what that information is because everyone should get on

75
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.159
<v Speaker 1>board with this one.

76
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Well one hundred percent. It exists in four states right

77
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>now nationally. We plan to bring it to a lot more.

78
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>In Ohio is a big priority. We can get this

79
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 2>done in Ohio. We'll have some action items for your

80
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:12.840
<v Speaker 2>listeners in the coming weeks for sure.

81
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Fantastic. Well, we will continue. We're gonna bring Donovan Neil

82
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>back because we've only hit one facet of again. It's

83
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Buckeye Blueprint. You can find it online Buckeye blueprint dot

84
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 1>org and check all the info out. We're going to

85
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.759
<v Speaker 1>talk more about this in just a moment. I must

86
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 1>mention QC kinetics because you know, you don't want to

87
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>live with pains. You know, if you've been dealing with

88
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>steroids and you've been dealing with pain medication. You know,

89
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 1>the hip pay, knee pain, joint pain. And remember my

90
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>dad's struggling through that and he of course ultimately went

91
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>under the knife. I wish he had QC kinetics around

92
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 1>the time because maybe they could have provided him relief.

93
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to go to surgery as an option.

94
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.879
<v Speaker 1>Tens of thousands of people with this continuing pain discovered

95
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.759
<v Speaker 1>these advanced cellular treatments. What QC kinetics does, and it's

96
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:02.759
<v Speaker 1>in an in office procedure. They concentrate your body's natural

97
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:07.480
<v Speaker 1>healing properties and place those concentrated properties at the point

98
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>of pain. The future of medicine advanced ortho biologic treatments

99
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>a QC Kinetics the nation's leader in regenera of medicine

100
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and joint preservation. They're here and sensing now, and it's

101
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a free consultation, so why not talk to them about it?

102
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.079
<v Speaker 1>It's what's the worst thing can happen? Right it say

103
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna work. Hey, QC knex is right there,

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.759
<v Speaker 1>we move away from the broader topic economic freedom, which

134
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>of course includes passing the Rains Act reducing personal income

135
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.639
<v Speaker 1>tax down to zero. How are the elected officials in

136
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 1>Ohio going to deal with less money? Do we have

137
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>a spending problem here on Ohio?

138
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 2>Dave, We do? I mean, that's the that's the problem.

139
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:07.720
<v Speaker 2>We don't have a I've said before, we don't have

140
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:10.839
<v Speaker 2>a revenue generation problem. We've got a spending problem in

141
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:17.639
<v Speaker 2>Washington and Columbus despite you know, multiple years, since two thousand,

142
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:22.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty eleven. Since twenty eleven, Brian Republicans have had

143
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.319
<v Speaker 2>a red what they call a Red state trifecta the House,

144
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.199
<v Speaker 2>the Senate, and the governor's office held by Republicans, typically

145
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.639
<v Speaker 2>the Conservative Party. Yet in that period of time, we've

146
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:37.079
<v Speaker 2>seen our budget grow by billions, yea billions, Brian we We.

147
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I think we've got an opportunity here to stop the

148
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:44.839
<v Speaker 2>spending spree, prioritize necessary services that the government can provide

149
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>right with our roads, police, fire, education, by empowering families,

150
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>and stop the spending spree that's been going on in Columbus.

151
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.399
<v Speaker 2>It's what the voters asked for this past November.

152
00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, I always joke about Columbus. It's like

153
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 1>hurting cats. You think, as you point out, well, having

154
00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:06.439
<v Speaker 1>the House, the Senate, and the governor all Republican, that

155
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>this would be just sort of logical and reasonable. They

156
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>would grab onto these proposals and run with them. But

157
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.839
<v Speaker 1>they're just people. Call them rhanas Republicans a name only.

158
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.519
<v Speaker 1>I think Republican Party has moved away from It's one

159
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.920
<v Speaker 1>of its core principles, and that's fiscal responsibility. They want

160
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 1>to buy stuff and things to get there get re elected,

161
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.480
<v Speaker 1>just like Democrats were always a blame for doing. Now

162
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:30.600
<v Speaker 1>everybody's doing it. That's why they call it the uniparty.

163
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Now, well, I mean, that's that's that's the crazy thing,

164
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.759
<v Speaker 2>right is, once you find folks are in the minority,

165
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.000
<v Speaker 2>and once they get into the majority right where they

166
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.559
<v Speaker 2>control the levers of power, some of those corrupting forces

167
00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 2>find their way in. We're all human at the end

168
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:47.240
<v Speaker 2>of the day, despite our party affiliations, right, and so

169
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:49.919
<v Speaker 2>that's our job, that's the work our activists do do, right, right,

170
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 2>that's right. Keep these folks on us. We remind them

171
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.320
<v Speaker 2>of the principles that they campaigned on during election year,

172
00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.200
<v Speaker 2>and we hold them accountable to following through all those

173
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:00.000
<v Speaker 2>promises when the time comes to legend.

174
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.519
<v Speaker 1>It just pains me to see that the public pension

175
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 1>is so underfunded. I mean, you'd think that they'd be

176
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.679
<v Speaker 1>at least responsible enough to take care of people who

177
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 1>are counting on the Ohio Public Pension for their retirement

178
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:15.720
<v Speaker 1>only seventy six percent of assets, to fulfill the promises

179
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:17.960
<v Speaker 1>that are made to these people. And that's a simple

180
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.840
<v Speaker 1>question of accountability and responsibility to the election those that

181
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>are the elected officials and the constituents who are going

182
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:27.159
<v Speaker 1>to be relying on that down the road. How about

183
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.519
<v Speaker 1>energy and innovation? What can we deal do to improve

184
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the energy situation here.

185
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think this is an area where we're going

186
00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to see a quarter turn, if you will. Since the

187
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.360
<v Speaker 2>house Bold six scandal, there hasn't been a lot of

188
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 2>energy policy movement. And the energy policy that has moved,

189
00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:46.039
<v Speaker 2>and I've been on your show to talk about it

190
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:49.080
<v Speaker 2>several times. Last year has really at a core been

191
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Cronius programs. Right. It's having great payers Ohio and subsidize

192
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 2>energy utility companies and these energy efficiency schemes that they

193
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.559
<v Speaker 2>cook up. In Columba. We're going to work to turn

194
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.679
<v Speaker 2>the page. There's a number of folks coming together. We've

195
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:06.320
<v Speaker 2>got to study at the Great Buckeye Institute. I know

196
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:08.399
<v Speaker 2>you've probably had Great Loss and Ray Hetterman on your

197
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 2>show for I've been. They've been working up and we're

198
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 2>going to provide a primer to lawmakers. There's a over

199
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I think forty new legislators, freshman legislators coming into Columbus

200
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:23.440
<v Speaker 2>this year, so it's a huge opportunity to educate them

201
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.879
<v Speaker 2>on what the free market principles for energy policy can be.

202
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:28.799
<v Speaker 2>And at the core of it, it's abundance, right, we

203
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:30.960
<v Speaker 2>just need to produce. We also be able to produce

204
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.879
<v Speaker 2>more energy to solve our problems, not subsidize things like

205
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:40.039
<v Speaker 2>wind and solar favorite industries, right, and that's what we're

206
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:41.679
<v Speaker 2>going to be. That's what we're being driving forward, is

207
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.799
<v Speaker 2>creating a free market approach to energy policy here in

208
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:44.480
<v Speaker 2>the Buckeye State.

209
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:48.159
<v Speaker 1>I like that idea. Now moving forward to something I'm

210
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:51.720
<v Speaker 1>always in favor of is providing families the opportunity for

211
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:55.480
<v Speaker 1>school choice and getting them out of underperforming schools where

212
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:58.759
<v Speaker 1>they're not even learning their basic skills but sitting in

213
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:00.759
<v Speaker 1>doctrination camp in classes.

214
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 2>That's right. We have to remain ever vigilant here. Forecasts

215
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.240
<v Speaker 2>are into the good thing. Right to the fiscal stewardship piece,

216
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.559
<v Speaker 2>the budget's going to be a lot tighter than it

217
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 2>was two years ago. The federal money isn't flowing like

218
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.799
<v Speaker 2>it was post COVID, and they're going to have to

219
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:21.039
<v Speaker 2>get a little tighter with the budget now. The challenge

220
00:11:21.080 --> 00:11:24.279
<v Speaker 2>there is making sure that the gains we made two

221
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.159
<v Speaker 2>years ago expanding the EDE Choice Scholarship program to empower families,

222
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:31.480
<v Speaker 2>making sure that program continues to be funded, as well

223
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.840
<v Speaker 2>as addressing some of the challenges parents and private schools

224
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:39.559
<v Speaker 2>encountered in working with the Department of educational workforce to

225
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 2>get access to those funds, and so I think there's

226
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.480
<v Speaker 2>some opportunities to make some tweaks to streamline. We want

227
00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.919
<v Speaker 2>to make these things, this program easy to access, so

228
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.360
<v Speaker 2>when that parent sees their kids report card and says, gosh,

229
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:51.639
<v Speaker 2>there's got to be a better way, they can easily

230
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.879
<v Speaker 2>move their kid quickly to the school that's going to

231
00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>best meet that child's needs, and that's good for everybody.

232
00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:59.399
<v Speaker 1>I guess the thing that always comes to mind when

233
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.720
<v Speaker 1>we talk about this, you know, general concept, it sounds wonderful,

234
00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:07.039
<v Speaker 1>but then logistically speaking, if you know, everybody wants to

235
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:12.000
<v Speaker 1>go to that one high performing, demonstrably better school, how

236
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:14.840
<v Speaker 1>can that school absorb the additional children There seems going

237
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to be there's obviously going to be some finite limits

238
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:19.759
<v Speaker 1>to the flexibility that people are going to be going.

239
00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:22.720
<v Speaker 2>To have well. And that's one of the areas that

240
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:24.759
<v Speaker 2>we've been talking with legislators that we think they need

241
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:27.399
<v Speaker 2>to help address, is what are the identifying what the

242
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:31.480
<v Speaker 2>regulatory barriers are or the capacity barriers are, and making

243
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.039
<v Speaker 2>sure that we've created an environment in state government through

244
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.799
<v Speaker 2>the rules and regulations that govern in the schools to

245
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.080
<v Speaker 2>enable these schools that are doing really good work and

246
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:44.200
<v Speaker 2>are achieving extraordinary outcomes for students, to make sure they

247
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:46.679
<v Speaker 2>have the ability to rapidly and quickly scale up and

248
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:49.440
<v Speaker 2>grow to be able to provide that service to as

249
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.000
<v Speaker 2>many students in the area as possible. It's certainly a challenge,

250
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.799
<v Speaker 2>it's certainly a problem, but we think we can get

251
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:57.519
<v Speaker 2>there if we, you know, just get the regulations right,

252
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:01.200
<v Speaker 2>get the government's intervention out of the way, and make

253
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.720
<v Speaker 2>these schools to able to grow and expand and serve

254
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:05.759
<v Speaker 2>the student population that needs it well.

255
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.519
<v Speaker 1>And you know, honestly, as I contemplate this even further,

256
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:12.000
<v Speaker 1>how is it that this one school district over here

257
00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:14.320
<v Speaker 1>ends up, you know, high on the list, you know,

258
00:13:14.960 --> 00:13:19.039
<v Speaker 1>excellent college admission raids, superior testing scores and all of that,

259
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:21.960
<v Speaker 1>and the one, you know, five miles down the road

260
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.279
<v Speaker 1>is at the bottom of the pack. Kids can't even

261
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.759
<v Speaker 1>pass basic mathematic tests or reading tests in eighth grade.

262
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.080
<v Speaker 1>What's the difference between those? Is it the curriculum, is

263
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:34.639
<v Speaker 1>it the teachers, or I always like to point out,

264
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:36.759
<v Speaker 1>maybe it's the family life, where we have parents that

265
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.200
<v Speaker 1>just don't give a damn one way or another, don't

266
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.759
<v Speaker 1>ensure that their children are doing the work, showing up

267
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.080
<v Speaker 1>on time, attending class.

268
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:44.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I mean.

269
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:48.039
<v Speaker 1>Just there's just some mystery out there as to why

270
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.200
<v Speaker 1>some schools do really well and others do not.

271
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:55.879
<v Speaker 2>Well. Honestly, actually, bright, I think that's the I think

272
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.159
<v Speaker 2>we need to move past looking at those at that

273
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:00.840
<v Speaker 2>and we really need to be a thinking about how

274
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:03.840
<v Speaker 2>do we unlock opportunity for every student. My niece brief story.

275
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.080
<v Speaker 2>My niece had struggled through with her education in a

276
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.159
<v Speaker 2>lot of places, public schools and private school She eventually

277
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:11.919
<v Speaker 2>got into a school that was able to help address

278
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:15.159
<v Speaker 2>her needs. She had some learning disabilities, and now she's flourishing.

279
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 2>She's vibrant, she's happy, she's engaged. She's getting a's. Not

280
00:14:19.759 --> 00:14:21.759
<v Speaker 2>because they lowered the standards, but because she was put

281
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:23.919
<v Speaker 2>into a situation where the school was able to educate her.

282
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:29.080
<v Speaker 1>One sized point is one size doesn't fit all, right.

283
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:35.480
<v Speaker 1>One form of education does not help all forms of children, right, And.

284
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.480
<v Speaker 2>So all the schools she went through were greade schools.

285
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.200
<v Speaker 2>They were fine, right, average, above average, But for Anna,

286
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.960
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't enough. And so I think what's important is

287
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:47.759
<v Speaker 2>that it's important to understand these testing scores and graduation

288
00:14:47.919 --> 00:14:50.840
<v Speaker 2>rates and achievements. But what's more important is what do

289
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.759
<v Speaker 2>we do to empower the parent to put the kid

290
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:54.720
<v Speaker 2>where that where they are going to flourish. Where the

291
00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:57.919
<v Speaker 2>kid is going to flourish. That's the ultimate measure from

292
00:14:57.919 --> 00:15:01.519
<v Speaker 2>our perspective on success in the education, when the kid flourishes.

293
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:04.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, ed, that well explained, and that certainly does

294
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:08.720
<v Speaker 1>provide me with us so the more than satisfactory explanation

295
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:12.679
<v Speaker 1>as to any given situation, which you always do a

315
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.159
<v Speaker 1>Looking forward to it, Brian, take care brother, Happy New Year,

316
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:05.279
<v Speaker 1>seven forty nine fifty five krc DE talk station. You know,

317
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:10.279
<v Speaker 1>medical imaging can be really, really outrageously expensive. Go to

318
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the hospital imaging department. You don't have to go there.

319
00:16:12.080 --> 00:16:15.279
<v Speaker 1>Your doctor's going to order an MRISCT scan and echo cartogram, ultrasound,

320
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:17.879
<v Speaker 1>a long screen, or cardiac scoring at some point in

321
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:19.919
<v Speaker 1>your life. I think we all get one eventually. I've

322
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:23.559
<v Speaker 1>had multiple of these images in my life, and I

323
00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:26.879
<v Speaker 1>got my CT scan at affordable imaging services where it

324
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 1>would only cost six hundred dollars contrast CT scan. What

325
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:33.679
<v Speaker 1>did my doctors say about that? Well, I got the

326
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 1>bad news and my cancer come back. But it wasn't

327
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:40.120
<v Speaker 1>anything about the imaging. No, and the radiologist report was fine,

328
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>just the exact same thing that she would have gotten

329
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:45.960
<v Speaker 1>from the hospital imaging department. Like, it's only six hundred

330
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.360
<v Speaker 1>bucks go if I'd gone to the hospital, probably five

331
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:54.480
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars now it's low overheaded affordable imaging. I had

332
00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:56.720
<v Speaker 1>no denying that. But they have the exact same equipment.

333
00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Medical professions have been doing this for decades. You get

334
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.759
<v Speaker 1>great images, you get the board certified radiotis report included

335
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.799
<v Speaker 1>in the low price for this image, and you don't

336
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:08.119
<v Speaker 1>have that massive out of pocket responsibility. Hey it's a

337
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:10.599
<v Speaker 1>new calendar, or what is your out of pocket liability

338
00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:14.480
<v Speaker 1>before the UH insurance actually kicks in? And if the

339
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:16.480
<v Speaker 1>insurance kicks in, are you still going to be responsible

340
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:20.319
<v Speaker 1>for some form of copay? My suggestion is ask the

341
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.039
<v Speaker 1>imaging department or somebody at the hospital what the total

342
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:24.599
<v Speaker 1>bill is going to be and what the how much

343
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:26.640
<v Speaker 1>the insurance you've got is going to pay for it,

344
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.839
<v Speaker 1>and then go, holy cow, you mean I'm gonna have

345
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.440
<v Speaker 1>to shell out three grand? And then say no, I'm

346
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:34.519
<v Speaker 1>gonna go to affordable imaging services where I can get

347
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:37.359
