And the other day I think you 29 00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.680 were commenting to local news about fifty to sixty gunshots 30 00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:25.760 fired down on Lynn Street area three o'clock in the 31 00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.480 morning on Saturday. Actually the residence there said was more 32 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.120 like sixty five to seventy five. Really got automatic weapons 33 00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.239 going on down there. Apparently the residents say this is 34 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.239 not uncommon, it happens all the time. 35 00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.400 Oh yeah, I'll tell you. The West End neighborhood, something 36 00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:46.000 that ted my attention for many years. Ironically met the 37 00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.719 group of people who were impacted back when I was 38 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:53.200 on council in twenty twenty. They came to me at 39 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:57.519 City Council to complain about the city concentrating too much 40 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.840 affordable housing in their neighborhood, creating an issue with a 41 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.079 concentration of poverty and drug dealing and violence, et cetera. 42 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.560 And they were calling this out back then and saying, hey, 43 00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.759 the city is intentionally doing this to us, and now 44 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:13.080 we've got one of the worst incidents we've had in 45 00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:16.759 a long time. He had a straight up shootout. We 46 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.080 believe it was between a group of rival drug dealers 47 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:23.680 operating under something called POO, which is a large public 48 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.879 housing complex there near Lynn and Clark Street by the 49 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:32.520 Hayes Porter Elementary School where the Peewee football championship was held. 50 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.639 A few hours after the shooting, fifty to sixty shots, 51 00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.960 car windows shot out. One of the bullets passed through 52 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:45.759 an individual's front his living room. Street bullet just went 53 00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:50.319 right through the living room. And of course no one arrested. 54 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.879 Police do end up ultimately responding three or four ound shot. 55 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:58.639 We are told none cooperated. So all this does is 56 00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.840 show up in the stats as a series of property 57 00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:04.840 crimes because it looks like some windows were broken, and 58 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.639 the severity of this is just lost on everyone. I 59 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:10.879 spent I spent a good chunk of Saturday afternoon with 60 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.560 these folks walking around and you know, looking at the 61 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.680 shell casings and the windows there, and this is the 62 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.039 kind of stuff that is going on in our neighborhood. 63 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.800 It's not just the thing on Fourth Street, which was terrible, 64 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.400 but these are you know, this is the reality of 65 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.719 where we are in the city these days, which is 66 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:31.840 gunfights near schools. And these are folks, you know that 67 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.800 I'm working with here that have rehabed these houses. These 68 00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:38.120 are taxpayers trying to do the right thing, and they 69 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.199 are horrified. At least one of them immediately started to 70 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:45.439 make you know, got on the MLS and started looking 71 00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.919 at properties outside of it because you've got a kid. 72 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.479 You just you can't live this way. 73 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:51.919 Well, let's pause. We'll bring Steve good back and see 74 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.400 if he has any ideas about a better path to 75 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.080 dealing with the crime in downtown Cincinnati. Seven thirty five 76 00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:58.960 Right now, if you have ker see the talk station, 77 00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.319 where was Steve Gooden?

And I 89 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.680 think the best thing about a tankless unlimited hot water, 90 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.439 you'll never run out.

Brian. 125 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.839 It is a horrible time again, particularly in the neighborhoods 126 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.720 from there to begin, know, Wenten Hills, the West End. 127 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:34.240 We've had another eruption of bad behavior in Clifton Gaslight 128 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.399 of all places where I live, which was a place 129 00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.879 that was untouched by violence for many years. And we 130 00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.120 know what needs to happen. You know, when me and 131 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.199 mister Smitherman, you know, we're on council, and I hope 132 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.920 the voters see fit to return him to council as well, 133 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.319 because he will do an incredible job, because it is 134 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.959 common sense. We called this years ago. I mean, we 135 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.199 knew at the time, even four years ago, that we 136 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.959 were heading toward a police staffing crisis. Right now, we're 137 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:07.560 sitting two hundred officers short of a full compliment. Can 138 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:11.399 Kover from the FOP tells me that most days, because 139 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.680 of all the other officers nearing retirement and on special assignments, 140 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.439 we have roughly four hundred officers spread across three shifts 141 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.000 and those spread across four districts who can actually answer 142 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:24.439 calls that you know, if you have a problem with 143 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:26.319 your house and make a phone call, you know the 144 00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:28.639 call nine to one one. We're down to four hundred 145 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.800 shifts or four hundred officers spread across three shifts who 146 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.079 might actually be able to answer the call in a 147 00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:37.680 city of three hundred and five thousand. That's not enough 148 00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.480 city where we in most nights we have more than that. 149 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.639 We have actually, you know, with red game, soccer games, concerts, 150 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.279 we could easily have five hundred thousand people eating, dining, 151 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.879 or hanging out in the city. We don't have the 152 00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.120 officers we need. And you can put all the money 153 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.480 aside for overtime you want, but if you don't have 154 00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.720 enough officers to work at it's not going to happen. 155 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:03.279 So I don't see any choice but to start working 156 00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:06.560 with other agencies in the short term and starting to 157 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:10.560 immediately incentivize and grow that compliment. We need hundreds of 158 00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:13.279 more officers if we're actually going to police the city. 159 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:17.160 Well, the council recently allocated two million dollars to hire 160 00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:20.879 lateral hires, which are going to be more quickly put 161 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.319 on the streets. Apparently they have the training already, they're 162 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:27.000 already law enforcement officers in other jurisdictions, so hiring them 163 00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:29.639 over just requires some additional follow up training before they 164 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.519 on the street. So that's a great idea, but it 165 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:33.679 is two million dollars for that, plus you know they're 166 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.679 going to allocate some of that for extra lighting or something. 167 00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:40.080 Is that sufficient? Do we have the funds and resources 168 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:41.639 to maybe improve on that? 169 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.039 We absolutely do, Brian. I mean, look, I mean they 170 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:50.039 spent this city council spent three point two million dollars 171 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:53.799 on this so called Act program which was achieving change together, 172 00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.840 and the only change it achieved was more violence. And 173 00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.360 it was a violence production program. This is the one 174 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:03.159 where they spend the money on urban gardening and dance 175 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.279 lessons and free sandwiches, got bus stops, hoping that would, 176 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:11.080 like somehow mitigate the violence that three point two million 177 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.600 dollars could have put a whole, complete group class through 178 00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:18.039 top to bottom. The lateral hires are great, I mean 179 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:23.360 they I think it's an absolute emergency measure. Putting more 180 00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:26.320 money out for overtime great, but there's nobody to work 181 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:29.559 the overtime. This is going to take a long term, 182 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.559 systemic approach and they're going to have to work with 183 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.159 other jurisdictions, whether it be the sheriffs and state patrol 184 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.519 in the meantime, I mean, they can still save a 185 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:41.360 few weeks of this summer. But they're just they don't 186 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:43.440 seem to be willing to get out of their own heads. 187 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.440 They don't seem to be willing to let these sort 188 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:51.519 of silly schemes go. You know, you can't dance your 189 00:09:51.559 --> 00:09:54.159 way out of this problem or garden your way out 190 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:56.840 of this problem. You need police on the streets who 191 00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.440 know the community, who have the time and ability to 192 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:03.320 get out walk a beat. We have this police collaborative 193 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.039 and it's all kind of based on community policing, which 194 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:10.480 is old fashioned beat policing, walking to beat policing, But 195 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:12.720 we just don't have the staff to do it right now. 196 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.639 So and we know, I mean every study shows that 197 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.200 that is the most effective time, both as a deterrent 198 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:20.559 and because they know who's who. 199 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:24.360 Yeah, and you know you mentioned gardening programs, and I'm 200 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:26.519 just going back to the facts that you presented about 201 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.519 what happened in the West End with you know, sixty 202 00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:33.159 five or so random gunshot between rival gangs. I mean, 203 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:36.039 does anybody in their right mind think a gardening program 204 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:37.799 is going to deal with that type of matter? 205 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.399 Well? Right, it passed nine to zero of city council. 206 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.600 So I can tell you nine people down there who 207 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.919 apparently are not in their right minds when it comes 208 00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:51.240 to spending taxpayer money on this stuff. It is insane. 209 00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:54.320 I've been talking about that everywhere I go to me. 210 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.039 It is a complete symbol and it's three point one 211 00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:02.000 million dollars city tax dollars went to this nonsense that 212 00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:03.919 could have gone on the street in some way with 213 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.080 enhanced policing. We knew this summer was coming. We have 214 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.039 had a trend for the last three summers of increased violence. 215 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:14.039 And instead of trying to cherry pick and gaslight us 216 00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:18.519 with very selected crime stats, you know that this is 217 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:20.840 what they did. They could have just faced the problem 218 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.080 that they knew was coming this year and actually tried 219 00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.440 to put some some officers on the street and tried 220 00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:29.200 to get some intelligence about where the violence was occurring. 221 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.879 And moving forward, well, I dex the Democrat Party has 222 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.360 gone so far left and they've embraced this anti police 223 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.960 philosophy so much that that would require them to turn 224 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.279 their back on something and acknowledge that they were wrong. 225 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.639 Just like every other city that went down that road 226 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:45.080 has collapsed from a crime standpoint. 227 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.960 No, that's absolutely right. I mean, there definitely was an 228 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.480 anti police vibe, particularly in the mayor's campaign back in 229 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.759 twenty one when he ran against David Mann. He absolutely 230 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.480 raised the idea that there would be racial profiling if 231 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.360 there were more police. He did that in his sprinting 232 00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:08.279 materials and the mail that he sent out, and that's 233 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:11.000 just what was done, just solely to stoke fear. But 234 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:14.039 you know, look, it isn't just all policing. I mean, 235 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:17.000 if you're going to spend some money on youth programs 236 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.720 and summer job programs and things of that nature, those 237 00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:24.360 things can help. So can enforcing the basic quality of 238 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.120 life offenses like in loitering and littering and things of 239 00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.559 that nature. I really believe in the broken windows theory. 240 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:33.480 If if a town looks or an area looks kind 241 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.960 of like bad, it does send a message for people 242 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.360 that you can con make crimes. And we have definitely 243 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:43.519 done that. The city is dirtier and messier and more 244 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.600 broken than it's been in many, many years, and that's 245 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.679 been also a trend over the last four years, and 246 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.519 I think that absolutely encourages this kind of activity. But 247 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:54.360 if you're going to spend money on those things and 248 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.600 fixing it up and maybe getting some stuff for the 249 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.320 kids to do. It can't be this nonsense like the 250 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.360 gardening and the dance lessons. I mean, it's just bizarre 251 00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:03.639 to me. 252 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.080 Steve Gooden, hang out. I want to get your reaction 253 00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:10.120 to President pro Tem Victoria Parks's comment. See if you 254 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.799 think she's being helpful, and if you're uncounselable, would you 255 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:16.480 demand a resolution centering her for her comments? Seven forty 256 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.759 six more Steve good and hang on one moment. Affordable 257 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:21.279 Imaging Services be like Fred listener. Fred called in the 258 00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:24.279 other day. He personally saved I think it was more 259 00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:28.000 than six thousand dollars taking my recommendation to get his 260 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:30.799 scans done at Affordable Imaging Services. I can't remember where 261 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:33.200 he got an MRI or a CT scan or a 262 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.600 Echo cardigram, but you will save thousands of dollars versus 263 00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.519 the hospital imaging department. And so he referred a friend 264 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.159 and his friends saved money and Jeff, Jeff saved thirty 265 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:46.039 one hundred dollars. I've saved probably more than ten thousand 266 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.919 dollars with the three CT scans and the MRI I 267 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.720 got done at Affordable Imaging Services.

Every one of the scans 273 00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.519 that Affordable Imaging Services comes with the board certified Radiologist 274 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:11.799 report included in the price, literally thousands of dollars.

And someone who backs Christopher SMITHM and also 305 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.799 running for council, Steve Goodmy's on the phone, our legal expert. 306 00:15:38.480 --> 00:15:41.080 I wanted to get your comment in reaction to President 307 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:45.879 pro tem Victoria Park's statement out loud that the people 308 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:49.960 that received the beatdown on July twenty fourth deserved it. 309 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.399 They were begging for it, including Holly, who seems to 310 00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:55.960 be a completely innocent bystand who got cole cock and 311 00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:59.120 knocked completely out by that sucker punch to the face, 312 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:01.879 begging for it. Steve Gooden, if you're on counsel, what 313 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:03.919 would your reaction to her comments be? 314 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:07.960 Well, I'll tell you I was very of all the 315 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.120 things that have happened here with this in terms of 316 00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.879 the public officials involved, that was the most disappointing. And 317 00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:16.240 I'll tell you you know, I served on council briefly 318 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:20.039 with Victoria Parks, have known her on and off four years. 319 00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.279 She's an Air Force vetter and she was a longtime 320 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.240 chief of staff for Todd Purtune, who was I don't 321 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:27.639 one of the last of the old school sensible Democrats 322 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.720 who actually was sort of I don't. Always didn't always 323 00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:32.000 agree with him, but he was looking out for the taxpayer. 324 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:37.080 So I was very disappointed to hear this coming from her, 325 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.879 and absolutely I think she should step down or in 326 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.519 a minimum, be censured. I think she should step down. 327 00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:46.080 I guess she's not running again, so I think she's 328 00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:48.600 just going to kind of gut it out for the 329 00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:51.639 next few months. But I'll tell you, I think it 330 00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:56.960 speaks just to how deeply unserious this group of people are. 331 00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:00.679 I mean, even if that's what she feels, thinks, or 332 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.000 what have you, which is wrong. But even if she 333 00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:06.880 thinks that, why she would feel the need to publicly 334 00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:11.119 express that is very strange to me, And it just 335 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:15.000 shows a complete abdication of her role and not even 336 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:18.880 understanding that what she says in a situation like this matters. 337 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.359 I mean, her statements became international news. Yeah, I mean 338 00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:26.960 not just national news, international news. There's people like in Australia, 339 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:30.519 I saw a British newspaper clip like can you believe this? 340 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:34.079 You know, in this city that's racially divided and going 341 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.079 through all this stuff, and certainty one of the elected 342 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.680 leaders comes up and basically says that you know that 343 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:44.920 these people had it coming just it is just just 344 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.599 from a leadership standpoint. I mean, you know, I was 345 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:49.319 just thinking these people, you know a lot of them 346 00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:51.400 are parents. I mean, you know, if you're a parent, 347 00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:54.000 there's certain things you can say in front of your kids, 348 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.359 certain things you don't even there's things that need to 349 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:58.880 be said at some point among adults. And I'm not 350 00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.240 suggesting that's what this is is, but you have to 351 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:04.079 be mindful of your role when you speak out. And 352 00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:08.839 it is so stegg anything used to say deeply unseerious 353 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:12.119 that it's really hard to hard to wrap my head around. 354 00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.839 Well, it also reflected her ignorance on you legal concepts 355 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:17.960 like freedom of speech. I mean, she literally said, in 356 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:19.960 this country, we have freedom of speech. However you may 357 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:22.680 not run into a crowded theater and screen fire suggesting 358 00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:25.480 that someone's use of the N word in that crowd. 359 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.599 And I think it's a We're still kind of sketchy 360 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:31.079 on the facts and details like the white guy slapped 361 00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:33.559 the other guy which started it. Well, apparently the white 362 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.799 guy got hit prior to that happening, so details still unfolding. 363 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:40.599 But even if someone said the N word, it doesn't 364 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.440 justify criminal behavior on the other side. I mean that's 365 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.839 essentially what she's saying. Well, he exercises freedom of speech, 366 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.599 he deserved what he got. That's I mean, that's insanity, 367 00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:52.559 isn't it, Steve. 368 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:55.119 Well, that's just no way that you can't run a 369 00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:58.039 city based on principles like that. Okay, you know you 370 00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:01.880 just can't. I mean, look you I was a prosecutor 371 00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:04.599 for many, many years, and the first thing you learn 372 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:08.319 is that these videos that surface often don't tell the 373 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:10.640 whole story. In fact, you know you can it can 374 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:14.039 be very misleading just by showing you one single clip. 375 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.440 So as a public official, or as an elected official especially, 376 00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.400 you should know better than to weigh in on something 377 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:24.079 like this until all the facts are there. I mean, 378 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:26.440 there's a grand jury that was in Piano that heard 379 00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:29.119 everything and they handed down some indictments. I think there's 380 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.079 probably more indictments to come. So the idea that we're 381 00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:35.200 going to sit here and you know, just having teams 382 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:37.880 a couple of things on our phone and then way 383 00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:40.279 in and pour gas on the fire is just is 384 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:45.160 just bad leadership. And I don't maybe it was satisfying 385 00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.680 in the moment for her to spout off like that, 386 00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:50.000 and she's right, she's got a First Amendment right to 387 00:19:50.039 --> 00:19:52.319 do it. We have a First Amendment right to point 388 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.599 out that this is terrible leadership and made things worse 389 00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.799 just when you thought things couldn't get worse. There going 390 00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:02.279 to I mean, I guess on the upside, she didn't. 391 00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:05.519 They didn't go out and try to, you know, intervene 392 00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:08.440 that night with dance lessons and sandwiches and things like that. 393 00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:09.960 That's the only thing I can think that that would 394 00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:11.680 have been worriers as if they had shown up and 395 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:16.319 tried to that's what the people or something. But I mean, 396 00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:18.799 I say that sort of in jest. Yes, it's not 397 00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:22.000 that far removed from the reality that we're dealing with 398 00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:22.440 right now. 399 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:25.000 Yeah, we needed a big bag of potting soil wol 400 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:28.000 to solve the whole problem that night. Steve Goodnight, you 401 00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:31.359
