hundred six' TEN wtv and gorgeous, day. Gorgeous we're just

(00:25):
under eighty degrees right, now sun is. Shining forget all
Those canadian. Wildfires, man it's beautiful outside the The iHeartMedia
complex right. Now SO i hope you get a chance
to enjoy it. Tonight gasoline prices down around Central. Ohio
that's a good. Thing The queen went. Today she had
some points, off you, know grocery points off At. Kroger
so up with her grocery points off and the already falling,

(00:46):
prices she got a buck fifty five a. Gallon i'm
pleased as. PUNCH i remember those days when we didn't
need a, card when it just. Happened so if you
if you need, gas it's a beautiful evening for Phill.
Up i'm sure that's against some environmental. Rules don't they
tell you you're not supposed to fill up during the what
is it wait till after sunset or depending on the,

(01:09):
weather if you need. Gasket you, Know greta can can
argue with, later but it's just, it's you, know, overall good,
day overall wonderful. Day you're doing. Good you have a good.
WEEKEND i see you still wearing that nasty logo on your.
Shirt but aside from, that is all.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Good kentucky is not a nasty yes it, is but,
yes everything was.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Great how is yours relatively? Uneventful which was a? Great
in your car with? Me that is a great review
of the. Way, yeah fair. Enough i'm glad to hear.
It as you heard In allison's news jury selection this other,
way In William housell's defamation, trial we all need to
get INTO i, mean unless you want to if you've

(01:48):
got a personal anecdote or something you want to share about.
Him but, doctor and he is doctor. Again by the,
Way William housell uh has defamation. Lawsuit he Says Trinity
health un maligned him and made stuff. Up he was
tried tried on fourteen cases of overdosing patients on fentanyl

(02:09):
and they couldn't get a conviction on one of, them
and his medical license to practice was restored in the
state Of. Ohio this tells me he's walking away with
a substantial. CHECK i can't Believe i'm saying, that BECAUSE
i remember when this was, happening and it was as

(02:30):
it was being presented to us in the media and
in the, public this was a sure, thing a done.
Deal this guy was fitannel poisoning all these, patients and
it apparently turned out to not be the, case or
there was no guidance from a higher up, level from
a corporate level With Interrinity, health to you, know regulate

(02:56):
how this drug was to be. USED i, Mean finnel
was still relatively unknown at that, point so he gave
some some what we would consider to be pretty extreme
doses and some that were not so, extreme and some
people got six some people, died and fourteen charges against
him were all left with an. Acquittal so if you

(03:20):
can't prove after that kind of, hubbub after that kind
of pr press you put, on if you can't prove
at least one of the fourteen cases a, homicide did
you have a case to begin?

Speaker 2 (03:34):
With, right there's something off. There i'm not saying to,
anybody was it just coincidental that that many people passed
under his? Care so they just thought that there was
something that the people became over zealous and it went
to court et.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Cetera it was it exactly was it? Coincidental because, again you,
know let me liken this TO. Covid how many people
died in the hospital with a POSITIVE covid diagnosis and
THE covid had nothing to do with their, death but
because because they HAD covid as a, diagnosis they were
listed as A covid. Death so the national news could

(04:09):
get on there every night and, go another two hundred
people died OF covid. Today one they didn't.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Do you remember the tickers they used to have on
every news. Site, yes no matter what you, had like
whatever channel you, had it would just be like a running.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Ally it was, sick come, on absolutely. Sick BUT i,
mean you, know, somebody And i'm constantly holding up BECAUSE
i think it is the most insane representation of What
i'm talking about. Here the first death that we heard
about out Of florida where the guy died in a
motorcycle accident and the medical examiner actually had the, nerve

(04:44):
the audacity the stones to get on television and, say,
well we don't know THAT covid didn't cause him to,
wreck and he was listed as one of our INITIAL
covid deaths in this country from a motorcycle. Wreck now
did the same thing possibly happen with Doctor. Heusel we don't,

(05:08):
know but he was, there he gave the, treatment they,
died so we're gonna say it was. HIM i don't.
KNOW i doubt seriously that the hospital would ever admit
anything like that, openly, unless of, course you, know lawyers
had talks in advance and there was a predetermined conclusion

(05:29):
to that. Emission you, know, well well we will admit
to our, mistake but we will incur a maximum maximum
damages punitive damages of no more than this or. Whatever
and if that arrangement is, made that conversation is made,
beforehand you might get something like, That but as long

(05:52):
as it is up in front of a, jury you
are not going to hear any kind of admission from
the hospital saying perhaps we jumped the gun over exaggerated.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
WHATEVER i wonder if he could ever get a job
anywhere else doing, that would anybody hire him like any.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
HOSPITAL i probably. SO i, mean he was found not,
guilty he was, acquitted and his medical license was. Restored
but AS i understand, it you, know he says he HAS.
Ptsd that's WHAT i understood from a media. Report because
of the trauma of being put through all this and
accused of all this and having his medical license taken
away and going on criminal trial and all that kind of,
stuff he's basically scared to practice.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
MEDICINE i, mean if he really is completely, Innocent i'm
not saying WHAT i don't, know BUT i might HAVE.
Ptsd also IF i was tried for something THAT i
was not, Guilty.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah so WOULD. I i, MEAN i wouldn't let it
show because that's. Me but, YEAH i mean IF i
was if my, liberty my absolute, liberty was dependent upon
a court finding in something THAT i KNEW i was
not guilty, of then you, KNOW i might come out

(07:04):
a little stressed. Myself i'm just. Saying, anyway expect him
to get a expect him to get a big. Check
and the woman that was hiding out the dirt ball
down there In obetz after reopened fire on the, officers
they've said bond for her at two hundred and fifty thousand.
DOLLARS i will reserve judgment until we do know the full.

(07:30):
Story if he was there a couple of, hours if
she was ignorant to some extent of why they were
looking for, him because apparently she didn't know that he
was being searched. For, maybe but if he was, there you,
know if he was there for a couple of nights

(07:51):
and she knew full well what he was accused of
doing and hit him out, anyway two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars doesn't even come. Close do not still know the.
Disposition i'm not going to say his name of the dirt,
ball self inflicted. Wound that's all we, know at least

(08:12):
ALL i. Know And mark AND i were talking off the.
HERE i don't know if that, means you, know is
he in a vegetative? State is there some chance of him?
Recovering if what we heard in the beginning he had a,
Rifle if he used a rifle To i'm assuming shoot,
himself you, know probably in the jawl in the, head,
whatever how do you come back from? That SO i

(08:35):
don't know where he, is what kind of condition he's.
In part of me wants him to face the justice,
system especially as we are seeing a renewed era of
respect for law, enforcement where, courts, judges juries, prosecuted all
of them are more likely to be accountable for lackluster

(08:57):
performances than they have been for the past few. Years
part of me wants him to go before the justice.
System the other part really does not. Care there's no.
Doubt we saw it from two different. Angles we saw
what he. Did there is no. Doubt and does it
sound Harsh probably to some, people BUT i don't think

(09:19):
it's harsh at. All when your crime is heinous, murder,
rape anything like, that and there is absolute, evidence there's
no doubt you are, GUILTY i see no reason wasting
six months and almost a million dollars in taxpayer funds

(09:41):
to take you to. Trial here's the one Deal i'm
willing to make it In. Ohio it's not much of a.
Deal no death penalty if you just signed the. Confession
if you don't want to sign the, confession we're going
for the death. Penalty and you, know maybe eventually we'll
have a state that can actually pull that. Off the
gest penalty is not a. Deterrent how would you, Know,

(10:06):
well when's the last time somebody's put to death in
the state Of. Ohio it's been. Forever drug companies don't
want to give up the right to use various drugs
in the, cocktail as they call, it and so the state, says,

(10:28):
well if we can't give him the cocktail and we're
not going to do, it there are plenty of other,
ways as demonstrated by society each and every, day to kill.
Somebody so if you're going to have a death, penalty use,
it use, it especially especially when there is no. Doubt and,

(10:51):
seriously in the name of carrying out, Justice i'm ready
to wheel and. Deal you did, This we know you did.
This lead behind a, family a, spouse maybe a, kid two, kids.
Whatever tell you, What, oh we will not take everything
they have and give to your victims. Family if you just,

(11:15):
confess sign here and let's get it over with law and.
Order The Chuck. EDITION i KNOW i sound, harsh But
i'm realistic and that's what it comes down.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
