My name is Dan Ray, and Rob is 14 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.960 off again tonight, but we're delighted to have Brew Brian 15 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:51.479 Butt with us again. And we will have Brian with 16 00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:55.640 us tonight, his second night flying the plane for us here, 17 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:57.119 and everybody sit back and relax. 18 00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:58.640 We're going to be just fine. 19 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:03.200 We will be talking tucking later on this evening, beginning 20 00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.760 at nine o'clock about the news story of the day, 21 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.000 and that is the election of the first American pope. 22 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:15.719 Pope Leo the fourteenth, formerly Cardinal Robert Privo of Chicago 23 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:18.159 and also Peru, and we'll kind of work through. 24 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:18.480 All of that. 25 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.599 We have a couple of guests lined up who can 26 00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:24.599 talk about the process and his background. And it was stunning, 27 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.680 is the I think it's the two hundred and sixty 28 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.280 seventh pope in the history of the Catholic Church, first 29 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:33.719 from the United States, and of course we've only been 30 00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.560 around two in and fifty years, so the first I 31 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.879 don't know, first two thousand, the first couple one hundred, 32 00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.239 two hundred and forty really don't count, but anyway, well 33 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.400 they do count for the church, but we did. We 34 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.439 weren't America then, so we could not have been competing. 35 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.120 But we have finally an American pope and those of 36 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:53.719 us you don't have to be a Catholic to be 37 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.359 happy about that. I think it's great and we'll talk 38 00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.280 about that. We'll also talk about later on tonight, perhaps 39 00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.560 Joe Biden and Joe Biden's appearance today on the View 40 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.359 that was interesting. We have some interesting sound from that 41 00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.039 as well. But first, we have four really interesting guests 42 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.360 in the first hour, as we always do, and we're 43 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:16.199 going to start it off tonight with doctor Joshlyn Witstein, 44 00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:20.240 a board certified orthopedic surgeon and Associate professor of orthopedic 45 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:25.319 Surgery at Duke University School of Medicine. Duke is a 46 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:29.120 great school buddy of mine who played basketball there many 47 00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:30.319 many years ago and went on to. 48 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.759 A great NBA career, Jack Marin. 49 00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:37.039 So I never went to Duke, never never been on 50 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.680 Duke's campus, but I feel a little closeness to Duke 51 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.120 University because of my friendship with Jack Marron. Doctor Witchstein, 52 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:45.199 welcome to night Side. 53 00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:47.280 How are you very good? 54 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:48.280 Thanks for having me. 55 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.000 Yeah, you've had some other good basketball players along the way, 56 00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.639 so yeah, they've got a few and a couple of 57 00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.680 good coaches as well. One that plays in the Celtics 58 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.919 right now, and we'll talk about that later. May is 59 00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.960 National Arthritis Awareness Month and also National Osteoporosis Awareness and 60 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.879 Prevention Month, And anyone who is on the wrong side 61 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.639 of fifty, as I say, has an increased risk for 62 00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:18.759 arthritis in or osteoporosis. So the first question is there 63 00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.719 are a huge There has to be a huge difference 64 00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.000 between these two. But I think some people, including me, 65 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.599 tend to use them interchangeably. Tell us if you could 66 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:31.520 in quick terms the distinctions between these two conditions. 67 00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.319 Yeah, happy to I'm always you know, I think about 68 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.439 them as being very different, of course, but if you're 69 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.000 not a doctor or in the medical field, it's confusing. 70 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:46.039 So osteoporosis is specifically a definition of thinning of the 71 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.639 or loss of bone density. So it's you know, how 72 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:53.919 dense and how strong are your bones. Osteo Arthritis is 73 00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:58.120 how worn down or worn out are your joints. So 74 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:01.039 the wearing down of the cartilage, formation of bones, burrs 75 00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:03.520 and the joints, and of course our bones and our 76 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.479 joints are connected, but these are very different processes that 77 00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.479 do happen to both affect people often over the age 78 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:09.960 of fifty. 79 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.879 So what can those of us on the wrong side 80 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:14.919 of fifty, even those in the right side of fifty 81 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:19.079 but approaching fifty, what can they do to ward off 82 00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:25.920 early onset of these conditions or even worse yet, them 83 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:32.079 really causing significant problems as we all age. 84 00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:36.759 I think that it's easy to talk about prevention of osteoporosis. 85 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.480 That can be sort of a lifelong preventative measure, or 86 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.120 it could be something that you start working on even 87 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.639 if you've already developed some osteoporosis or loss of bone density. 88 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:51.920 The most important aspects of maintaining your bone density are 89 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:57.720 participating in strength training programs, including resistance training like lifting weights. 90 00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.839 Participating in a little bit of jumping something that causes 91 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.199 some impact on your bone stimulates bone density. And then 92 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.399 while we want you to build bone density, it's also 93 00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.720 important to not fall, So it's important to work on 94 00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:12.279 balance and a little bit of agility. So fall prevention, 95 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.199 combined with making your bones more dense can help you 96 00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:17.959 not break a bone as you get folder. It's a 97 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.759 little bit trickier to talk about how do we prevent earthritis, 98 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:24.959 because one in four adults will develop arthritis at some point. 99 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:27.519 But one of the most preventive things that people can 100 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.319 do to reduce the risk of developing arthritis is to 101 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:33.800 maintain a healthy body weight, because obesity is certainly associated 102 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:35.959 with earthritis and progression of earthritis. 103 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.759 What about drinking milk. I'm a big milk drinker, and 104 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.319 I always thought that drinking milk, even into our time 105 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:47.160 on the other side of fifty, on the wrong side 106 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.160 of fifty, helps with both of those conditions or is 107 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:53.519 that perhaps something that I was told when I was 108 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.040 young that no longer was true. 109 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.720 So milk is an excellent source of calcium. It's very 110 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.680 what we called bioavailable, meaning you can absorb it pretty easily. 111 00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.560 And calcium is an important nutrient to get from your 112 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:09.399 diet for your bone density and your bone health. Calcium 113 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.639 isn't particularly helpful for your joint health. One thing that 114 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:14.519 we need to remember, though, is that when we're thinking 115 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.240 of foods that nourish your bones and help you maintain 116 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.839 bone density, calcium is just one part of the picture, 117 00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:21.920 and it doesn't all have to come from milk. It 118 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.399 can also come from vegetables, for instance. 119 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.959 Any particular vegetables across the board, because again I'm someone 120 00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:36.600 who listens, and if it's all vegetables, that's great, But 121 00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:37.839 if there's a couple. 122 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.079 Yeah we should. 123 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:42.680 Those I think the best, right, the best ones to 124 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.399 focus on in terms of plant based sources of calcium 125 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:50.040 are what we call cruciferous vegetables, things like broccoli, cauliflower, 126 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.000 things like that. And then one that people often don't 127 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.839 think about that is a really good source of calcium 128 00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:01.439 is backchoy. It has a very very available calcium content. 129 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.519 So you can get as much calcium from one cup 130 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.680 of cooked box toy as you can from drinking one 131 00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:07.319 cup of milk. 132 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.800 Okay, so what about Okay, one of my favorite A 133 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:12.240 couple of my favorite vegetables. 134 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:13.480 I love. 135 00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.720 Leafy vegetables, but I also love beets and tomatoes. 136 00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.560 Those are good for your joints, they. 137 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:28.240 Are Okay, Well, that's fine cover that. I don't know 138 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:29.360 why I'm. 139 00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.839 Not Russian or is my family Russian base, but I 140 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.439 feel that somewhere in my background some one of my 141 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:40.120 predecessors ancestors must have eaten a lot of borsh or something. 142 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:41.120 Whatever beats are. 143 00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:46.639 In of diet is so so important as we get older, 144 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:50.519 and and it's it's great that folks like yourself are 145 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:54.519 willing to talk with us about these issues because a 146 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.199 lot of us. You know, here's one that I love. 147 00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.040 And you're gonna laugh at me when I say this. 148 00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:02.079 As a kid, I used to watch Popeye the Sailor, So. 149 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:06.160 I actually linach, Spinach? Is that is that a good one? 150 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:08.560 Who is that over sold by Popeye the Sailor? 151 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:09.639 Uh? 152 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:12.279 Yeah, Well, I have a little bit of disappointing news 153 00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.839 for you. Spinach is really not a good source of 154 00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.959 calcium because it does have a lot of calcium in it, 155 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.240 it just has some other things in it called oxalates 156 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.040 that make the calcium a bit hard to absorb. So, 157 00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:28.360 you know, spinach is good for many things in terms 158 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.399 of you know, you get some fiber, you get some 159 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.320 other vitamins and minerals that are are good for you. 160 00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.600 It has some you know, antioxidants in it that are 161 00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.360 anti inflammatory. But in terms of calcium, it's actually not 162 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.759 a good source of calcium, so that it is a 163 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:44.879 little bit over sold. 164 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:45.159 In that way. 165 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:47.399 I'm one of the few people when they when they 166 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.960 offer you a vegetable at a restaurant, I'll see it 167 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:51.960 can't have a side of spinach, And a lot of 168 00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:57.120 times the waiters and waitresses look at me like, really, I. 169 00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.559 Also love spin itch, you know, saud tied with garlic 170 00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:01.840 or whatever, and I eat spine. It's not that I 171 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.039 don't eat it, it's just that it shouldn't be your 172 00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:06.960 source of calcium. And if you're trying to utilize something 173 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:08.799 else in your diet as a source of calcium, you 174 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.919 also don't really want to pair it with the spinach 175 00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.879 because it's going to reduce the amount of calcium that 176 00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:14.440 you absorb. 177 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.639 You know, there's a lot of thought that has to 178 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:19.559 go into our diets if we're really going to do effectively. 179 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:25.320 Doctor I really enjoyed our conversation.

So if you get 210 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.720 arrested in Barnstable County, you're probably gonna get a chance 211 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:13.240 to enjoy the accommodations that Sheriff Buckley provides. We'll talk 212 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.159 with her about We're gonna highlight females and corrections and 213 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.480 tackling safety on Cape Cod this summer.

Actually, 217 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.360 Sheriff's from around the Commonwealth. But we're highlighting females tonight 218 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:37.240 in corrections and tackling safety on Cape Cod this summer. 219 00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:40.679 No one was better qualified for that than Sheriff Donna Buckley. 220 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:44.159 She's one of fourteen county sheriffs here in Massachusetts, the 221 00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:48.200 only female, the only mom, the only grandmother sheriff elected 222 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.679 in Massachusetts. Welcome Sheriff Buckley. How are you this evening? 223 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.519 I'm great, Dan, Thank you so much for having me. 224 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:55.919 Well. 225 00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:58.799 I think everybody knows Barnstable County is down there on 226 00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:02.639 the Cape, But how many communities do you represent down there? 227 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:08.120 We have fifteen towns stretching all the way from woodsholl 228 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.120 and Falmouth to Provincetown. 229 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:15.440 Now you're a lawyer by education Suffolk University Law School. 230 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:18.960 How did you end up as a sheriff? I mean 231 00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:22.840 not too many people wake up Sunday and say I 232 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.120 want to become a sheriff. I mean is It's a 233 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.639 great position, don't get me wrong, but it's not one 234 00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.039 that most people gravitate towards. How did you end up, 235 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.000 and particularly as the first female, a female sheriff in 236 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.759 the history of Barnstable County. I guess it's three hundred 237 00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:39.879 and thirty three years old, so it's about time. 238 00:12:42.039 --> 00:12:44.000 You know. It was not on my bucket list, Dan, 239 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:49.120 I you know, I had an opportunity in twenty eighteen 240 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:52.320 to go to work at the Sheriff's Office as general counsel, 241 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:57.159 and when it came time for the election, I saw 242 00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:01.000 an opportunity to have a really important in conversation with 243 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:04.759 the people in Barnstable County about what direction our Sheriff's 244 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:10.240 Office should take. And with the prevalence of addiction and 245 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:15.799 mental health challenges in our criminal justice system, I heard 246 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.559 loud and clear from the voters in Barnstable County that 247 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:22.679 they believe what will make them safer is if we 248 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:30.159 provide treatment and opportunities for people to move forward with 249 00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:35.399 support so that they do not become a recidivism statistic. 250 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:39.240 No, I think that's praise worthy, laudatory and all of that. 251 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:42.159 But the other side of the coin is that you've 252 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:46.480 got some you've got some tough cases down there. You've had, 253 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.600 not necessarily during your term, but there was a police 254 00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:53.519 officer shot and killed a few years ago as they 255 00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:55.639 were trying to roast a guy out of an attic. 256 00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:59.159 I'm sure you're familiar with more familiar with that case 257 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:03.039 than I am. But there's just some horrific crimes that 258 00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.200 seem to occur in the Cape of drug and alcohol use. Uh, 259 00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.879 the Cape is not immune from that. We've got a 260 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:13.720 lot of bad stuff going on. How do you balance that? 261 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:17.279 I mean, obviously you've got you've got to incarcerate people 262 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.799 and you've got to hope you can rehability rehabilitate them. 263 00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:22.759 At the same time, not everybody is looking who's incarcerated, 264 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:25.039 it looks wants to be necessarily rehabilitated. 265 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:28.279 That's going to be a tough situation to find yourself in. 266 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.360 You know what, You're right on, You're right on there. 267 00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.840 I mean, there are some horrific, horrific crimes on the Cape. 268 00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:38.120 We are not immune. In fact, sometimes it makes it 269 00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:41.399 more difficult for us to get the resources that we 270 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:46.240 need to address the addiction and mental health, our homelessness, fuel, 271 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.919 food and security, and transportation challenges that we have on 272 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:55.080 the Cape because we are this tourist community. But as 273 00:14:55.240 --> 00:15:00.559 as sheriff, if we can't that one person on a 274 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.480 path where they're not going to come back, where they're 275 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.120 going to be able to move on and have a 276 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:13.200 productive life and be a contribute to our community. That's 277 00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:17.639 a success. And no, not everyone is going to be rehabilitated. 278 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:25.120 Not everyone is, but not everyone is the typical criminal 279 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:27.960 that you know we used to think about twenty years ago. 280 00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:33.559 The prevalence of addiction and mental health challenges have changed 281 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:36.639 the nature of who ends up in jails. 282 00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:40.960 How much fanadol are you seeing down the cape? 283 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:44.480 Our share? We're seeing our share. You know, it's not 284 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:48.039 talked about like it's talked about in urban communities, but 285 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:54.120 we're seeing our share. You know, I've heard that in fact, 286 00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:57.039 we are sort of a prime place to sell to 287 00:15:57.159 --> 00:16:02.320 sell drugs because of the tourist nature of our community. 288 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:07.080 So we are vigilant. Our Sheriff's Office in Barnstable County 289 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:10.960 not only does our jail, but we support all fifteen 290 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:15.440 local police departments through our Regional Law Enforcement Council to 291 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.639 make sure that we can do the very best to 292 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:25.039 address the drugs issue, to make sure that our community 293 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:25.639 is safe. 294 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:26.480 Well. 295 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:28.600 Later on on this hour, we're going to be talking 296 00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:32.159 with a national leader in the recovery movement, And like you, 297 00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:37.559 I stand in admiration for anyone who's able to overcome 298 00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.080 an addiction. I think of my good friend, and I'm 299 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:43.320 sure of someone you know very well, a mayor, former 300 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:48.440 Boston mayor, Martie Walsh, you know, who beat addiction and 301 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.080 has gone on to do great service for Boston and 302 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.039 also for the NHL Players Association. 303 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:55.799 So you have to stand in awe of those people. 304 00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:57.720 I just. 305 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:01.799 I just want you to know on behalf of people 306 00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:04.400 on the Cape that they appreciate whatever you can do 307 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:06.960 and whatever your office can do to help keep them 308 00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:10.880 and their family safe, because unfortunately, so much crime occurs 309 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:13.119 even on the Cape. 310 00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:16.720 I read about it all the time. In a part 311 00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:18.319 of the state where you would. 312 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:21.160 Think of only as a good time is being had 313 00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.359 by all, you know, summertime, spring fall and all of that, 314 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:27.759 and even during the winter, but that crime is everywhere. 315 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:29.640 So please continue the fight. 316 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:30.519 Yeah. 317 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:32.519 Let me you know. 318 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:36.480 Sometimes, you know, we have these conversations and there are 319 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:38.680 some people who sort of look at this as a 320 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.400 soft on crime, you know when you talk about rehabilitation 321 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:46.119 and treatment. But I come from it to it from 322 00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:50.200 a different perspective. When you think about someone who is 323 00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:54.960 dealing with addiction and it is committing crimes to feed 324 00:17:55.000 --> 00:18:01.119 that addiction, what is more unsafe. Lock that person up, 325 00:18:01.400 --> 00:18:04.319 do nothing with them, let them do their time, and 326 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:06.279 then put them back on the streets in a worse 327 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:10.680 position than when they came in. Or to try to 328 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:13.759 address the root cause of why they're committing crimes, to 329 00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:17.920 try to address and put them on a path where 330 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.839 they can experience the power of recovery if they so choose, 331 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.240 give them the support. So it's not a soft on crime. 332 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.440 People need to be held accountable. No one wants to 333 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.359 be the victim of a crime. And making sure that 334 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.440 we do the work while people are incarcerated. Statistics show 335 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:41.720 that that is more likely to create a safer community 336 00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:46.880 than simply looking at this person committed a crime, lock 337 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:48.799 them up, I don't want to see them again. 338 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:55.079 Every person you can take off and convince them to 339 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:58.920 get off the crime treadmill is a huge victory. 340 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:02.799 It's a huge victory. So my hat's off to you 341 00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:04.279 for any of that effort. 342 00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:09.319 I simply am saying that that those of us who 343 00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:12.079 spend any time in the Cape, we want to spend 344 00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:14.559 it in a in a community where we can enjoy 345 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:17.240 ourselves and enjoy our family safe, safely. And I was 346 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:19.720 actually saying thank you for the work that you do, 347 00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:22.920 and thanks to the police officers who put their lives 348 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:28.720 in the line every day for fellow residents and visitors 349 00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:32.640 to Cape call it. So please take that nothing as 350 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.480 nothing more than a compliment for the work you do. 351 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:41.519 Okay, absolutely, And actually I I I hear you. It's 352 00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:45.200 it's sometimes you know other people that are listening, because 353 00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:46.799 I hear it a lot, you know, I hear that 354 00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.319 they look sort of in this this one school or 355 00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:53.599 the other. And my goal in running for sheriff, primary 356 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:54.839 goal is public safety. 357 00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:55.839 That's it. 358 00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:57.960 That's that's got to be the primary goal. And if 359 00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:01.039 and again there's there's a couple of ways to approach it. 360 00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:04.279 And I congratulate you on your job, and I congratulate 361 00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:08.200 you on breaking the glass ceiling, if you will, the 362 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:11.039 barriers for women and law enforcement. I have a sister 363 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:13.759 in law who's a former state police officer, so I 364 00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:17.920 stand at admirate wow one who works in the interest 365 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:20.799 of public safety.

Nobody has watched more playoff 372 00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:39.799 games than basketball NBA playoff games than Bob Ryan. Will 373 00:20:39.839 --> 00:20:42.799 find out what Bob thinks about what has gone down 374 00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:44.920 the last couple of games here in Boston, and they're 375 00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:47.079 on their way to New York this weekend.

Bob, who, more than you has 383 00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:16.559 watched NBA NBA playoff games going back through your career. 384 00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:17.200 When you think. 385 00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:20.599 About oh, I'm sure there's some people, but I do 386 00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:23.519 think locally, I was thinking about this today. I may 387 00:21:23.559 --> 00:21:26.400 be the only one around who's still active, at least 388 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:28.720 mildly active, who goes back to the sixties. 389 00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:30.640 But no, but the only what I'm. 390 00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:34.799 Saying, think about it, how many how many teams during 391 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.799 your career have had anywhere close to the number of 392 00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:40.759 playoff games that the that the Celtics have played in. 393 00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:42.240 And I really mean that. 394 00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:46.559 Yeah, I know the Celtics. Yeah, oh no, I go back. 395 00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:49.279 My first game I attended was as a student at 396 00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:53.799 Boston College nineteen sixty six, Game seventh, Red Hourbacks final game, 397 00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:58.640 and the first game I covered was the game five 398 00:21:58.839 --> 00:22:01.599 as a playoff Game five in nineteen seventy the Knicks 399 00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:04.440 and the Lakers.
