>> WE KICK OFF A MONTH-LONG
00:00:30SERIES OF SIT DOWN INTERVIEWS
WITH THE MAJOR PARTY CANDIDATES
00:00:34FOR FOUR OF THE FIVE STATEWIDE
EXECUTIVE OFFICES.
00:00:36WE START WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL
CANDIDATES MIKE DEWINE AND
00:00:39DAVID PEPPER -- IN THEIR OWN
WORDS.
00:00:42THIS WEEK IN "THE STATE OF
OHIO."
00:00:45CAPTIONED BY THE
NATIONAL CAPTIONING INSTITUTE
00:00:46--WWW.NCICAP.ORG--
>> REPUBLICAN INCUMBENT MIKE
00:00:55DEWINE WAS ELECTED TO HIS FIRST
OFF, GREENE COUNTY PROSECUTOR,
00:00:59IN 1978.
HE'S NOW RUNNING FOR HIS SECOND
00:01:01TERM AS ATTORNEY GENERAL,
HAVING SERVED AS A STATE
00:01:03SENATOR, A CONGRESSMAN,
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR AND U.S.
00:01:05SENATOR.
DEWINE SAYS HE FEELS THE MOST
00:01:08IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF THE
A.G.'S OFFICE IS TO PROTECT
00:01:10OHIO FAMILIES.
WELCOME MIKE DEWINE.
00:01:12I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT TWO
FUNCTIONS HERE, SPECIFICALLY
00:01:16ONE ISSUE HAS BEEN IMPORTANT TO
THE A.G.'S OFFICE AND
00:01:19THROUGHOUT THE STATE HAS BEEN
THE PRESCRIPTION PAIN KILLER
00:01:21AND HEROIN DRUG CRISIS.
MOST PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH
00:01:24THE STATS AND HOW SERIOUS IT S.
BUT WHAT IS THE ATTORNEY
00:01:27GENERAL'S OFFICE DOING ABOUT IT
AND WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?
00:01:29>> RIGHT AFTER WE TOOK OFF, WE
REALLY HAVE HAD AND CONTINUE TO
00:01:33HAVE A GREAT PARTNERSHIP WITH
GOVERNOR KASICH ON THIS AND ALL
00:01:38OF HIS DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.
PRESCRIPTION DRUG PROBLEM.
00:01:41WE GOT LEGISLATION PASSED,
REPRESENTIVE JOHNSON GOT IT
00:01:45PASSED TO REALLY GO AFTER THE
PILL MILLS.
00:01:48WE'VE CLOSED THEM DOWN.
WE'VE TAKEN THE LICENSES OF
00:01:53ABOUT 50 DOCTORS NOW, I THINK,
PEOPLE WHO WERE NOTHING MORE
00:01:58THAN DRUG DEALERS.
SO WE'VE REALLY MADE SOME REAL
00:02:01HEADWAY IN REGARD TO
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.
00:02:04THE HEROIN PROBLEM REMAINS.
IT'S A HUGE, HUGE PROBLEM IN
00:02:09THIS STATE.
I THINK EVERYBODY KNOWS HOW BAD
00:02:11IT IS.
WE LOST OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE
00:02:13LAST YEAR TO A HEROIN OVERDOSE
ALONE, AND THAT'S PROBABLY
00:02:18REALLY UNDERREPORTED.
WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE OFFICE
00:02:20IS A COUPLE THINGS.
OUR CRIME LAB TAKES THIS
00:02:24EVIDENCE WHEN IT COMES IN,
HEROIN, WE HAVE TO TEST IT.
00:02:28WE DRAMATICALLY SPEEDED UP THE
TURNAROUND TIME SO WE CAN GO
00:02:31BACK TO COUNTY PROSECUTORS AND
SAY YES, THIS IS IN FACT
00:02:35HEROIN.
MANY TIMES THOSE PROSECUTORS
00:02:37ARE WAITING, FRANKLY, FOR US TO
DO THAT.
00:02:39SO WE'VE SPEEDED THAT UP
IMMENSELY.
00:02:42SECOND, WE HAVE OUR AGENTS,
SPECIAL AGENTS WHO HISTORICALLY
00:02:46HAVE BEEN OUT INTO
MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL TASK
00:02:51FORCES AROUND THE STATE WORKING
WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT,
00:02:53WORKING WITH THE D.E.A., WE
CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
00:02:57ONE THING WE STARTED IS WE
CREATED A HEROIN UNIT IN THE
00:03:01ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.
AND WHILE I CAN'T ON A PUBLIC
00:03:05SHOW TALK A LOT ABOUT IT, WHAT
WE ARE DOING IS WORKING WITH
00:03:09LOCAL JURISDICTIONS,
PARTICULARLY THE SMALL TO
00:03:12MEDIUM-SIZED ONES WHO DON'T
HAVE THE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE TO
00:03:15GO AGAINST THE BIGGER HEROIN
DEALERS.
00:03:18AND AS WE SPEAK TODAY, WE HAVE
A NUMBER OF INVESTIGATIONS THAT
00:03:22ARE REALLY MOVING ALONG, BUT WE
CAN'T REALLY DISCUSS THEM.
00:03:25WE DID HAVE ONE BIG ONE THAT WE
CAN DISCUSS AND THAT WAS A
00:03:30JOINT EFFORT OUT OF OUR HEROIN
UNIT AND THE TORNING'S OFFICE
00:03:35WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
I THINK THOUGH THE MOST
00:03:37IMPORTANT THING THAT WE CAN DO
AS A PEOPLE IS, NUMBER ONE, AND
00:03:43I TALK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME,
WE'VE HAD TOWN HALL MEETINGS,
00:03:47AND I KNOW MY OPPONENT HAS MADE
FUN OF THE TOWN HALL MEETINGS,
00:03:52BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THAT
PEOPLE UP UNTIL VERY RECENTLY
00:03:55DO NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THEIR
COMMUNITY HAD A HEROIN PROBLEM.
00:04:00IT WAS OVER THERE.
IT WAS OVER THERE.
00:04:01BUT NOT IN MY COMMUNITY.
I THINK WE MADE GREAT PROGRESS
00:04:04BY TALKING ABOUT THAT.
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO FIRST
00:04:07RECOGNIZE THERE'S A PROBLEM
BEFORE YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
00:04:09ABOUT IT.
I THINK PREVENTION AND
00:04:13EDUCATION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING.
00:04:14THREE YEARS AGO, OVER THREE
YEARS AGO, I HIRED A WOMAN BY
00:04:19THE NAME OF JENNIFER BINGER.
SHE HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN A
00:04:24GROOSEROOTS EFFORT OF EDUCATION
AND PREVENTION.
00:04:27I HIRED HER TO HELP SPREAD THE
WORD AROUND THE STATE THAT
00:04:32OTHER COMMUNITIES CAN DO THIS,
AND HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT.
00:04:36WE NOW HAVE THREE PEOPLE WHO DO
THIS.
00:04:38TWO OF THEM ARE MOMS WHO LOST A
CHILD TO A DRUG OVERDOSE.
00:04:44AND THEY BRING A TREMENDOUS
PASSION TO THIS.
00:04:46SO I WOULD INVITE ANYONE WHO'S
WATCHING THIS RIGHT NOW, CALL
00:04:50THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.
IF YOU WANT TO SET UP A
00:04:54GRASSROOTS EFFORT, A GRASSROOTS
GROUP IN YOUR COMMUNITY, NOT TO
00:04:58DO LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT TO DO
EDUCATION AND TO DO PREVENTION.
00:05:01IT REALLY DOES WORK.
IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
00:05:05WE'VE SEEN A DIFFERENCE IN
SEVERAL PLACES.
00:05:08MOMS WHO HAVE LOST KIDS, DADS
WHO HAVE LOST KIDS FORM THESE
00:05:13GROUPS AND INVOLVE THE
CHURCHES, INVOLVE THE SCHOOLS,
00:05:15INVOLVE BUSINESS.
IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.
00:05:17>> ALSO WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT
YOUR OFFICE IS RELEASING ITS
00:05:20PROGRESS ON THE TESTING OF THE
BACKLOG OF RAPE KITS TURNED IN
00:05:24BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
AROUND THE STATE.
00:05:26AS OF AUGUST, 4,413 KITS HAVE
BEEN BEEN TESTED.
00:05:31THAT'S ONLY ABOUT HALF OF THE
8,381 THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED
00:05:36BY 141 LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES.
00:05:38THAT'S A HUGE NUMBER.
HOW DO YOU CATCH UP AND EVEN
00:05:40GET AHEAD OF THIS?
>> I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF
00:05:43CONFUSION ABOUT THAT.
LET ME TALK -- LET ME SEPARATE
00:05:45IT.
WHEN I TOOK OFFICE, B.C.I. DID
00:05:52NOT KNOW HOW FAR BEHIND THEY
WERE IN REGARD TO NEW RAPE
00:05:55KITS, NEW D.N.A. EVIDENCE
COMING IN.
00:05:57AND IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE
DO IT QUICKLY BECAUSE YOU COULD
00:06:00HAVE A RAPE CASE, YOU HAVE
UNKNOWN D.N.A., AND THEN IF IT
00:06:05SITS THERE AND ISN'T TESTED,
IT'S A PROBLEM.
00:06:07THE DAY I TOOK OFFICE, THERE
WAS 125-DAY LAG TIME BETWEEN
00:06:16THE TIME THE POLICE BROUGHT IN
THE D.N.A. AND THE TIME IT WAS
00:06:19TESTED.
SINCE I'VE TAKEN OFFICE WE'VE
00:06:22HAD A FOURFOLD INCREASE IN
WORKLOAD.
00:06:25FOUR TIMES.
IT'S PHENOMENAL WITH D.N.A.
00:06:28WE'VE TAKEN THAT BACKLOG FROM
125 DAYS DOWN TO AN AVERAGE OF
00:06:3322 OR 23 DAYS.
AND WE CAN TURN A CASE AROUND
00:06:37IN 24 HOURS.
AND WE TELL THE POLICE THAT.
00:06:41THE CASE THAT PEOPLE IN CENTRAL
OHIO WERE FAMILIAR WITH, THERE
00:06:44WAS A LITTLE GIRL A FEW MONTHS
AGO STANDING IN FRONT OF HER
00:06:47BUS STOP, IT WAS 6:30 IN THE
MORNING, SHE WAS 13.
00:06:51A GUY COMES UP, ABDUCTS HER AND
RAPES HER.
00:06:54THE COLUMBUS POLICE DEPARTMENT
BROUGHT THAT IN THE NEXT DAY,
00:06:57THEY HAD A RAPE KIT ON THE
LITTLE GIRL, DIDN'T KNOW WHO
00:07:00THE RAPIST IS.
HE PROCESSED THAT IN 25 HOURS.
00:07:03WE TURNED THAT AROUND.
WE WENT INTO THE NATIONAL
00:07:09D.N.A. DATA BASE AND GOT A HIT,
FOUND OUT WHO THE GUY WAS.
00:07:12WENT BACK TO COLUMBUS AND SAID
HERE'S YOUR GUY AND FOUR HOURS
00:07:15AFTER THAT THEY HAD HIM PICKED
UP.
00:07:17SO WE CAN TURN A CASE AROUND IN
24 HOURS.
00:07:20THE OTHER PART OF THIS, WHICH
IS SEPARATE AND APART IS THE
00:07:26OLD RAPE KITS.
WHEN I BECAME ATTORNEY GENERAL
00:07:28I FOUND IN STORAGE THAT THERE
WERE OLD RAPE KITS IN POLICE
00:07:32DEPARTMENTS AROUND THE STATE
THAT HAD NEVER BEEN TESTED.
00:07:35IN OTHER WORDS, A YOUNG LADY
HAD BEEN RAPED, A WOMAN HAD
00:07:37BEEN RAPED, AND THEY TOOK THE
D.N.A. FROM HER, TOOK EVIDENCE
00:07:43FROM HER WITH HER PERMISSION,
PUT IT IN A RAPE KIT, AND IT
00:07:47JUST SAT THERE.
LONG STORY SHORT, NONE OF THESE
00:07:51WERE BEING TESTED.
I CALLED FOR THEIR TESTING.
00:07:54I TOLD THEM EVERY DEPARTMENT IN
THE STATE, BRING THEM TO US.
00:07:58WE HAVE RECEIVED NOW ABOUT
8,200 OF THESE.
00:08:01WE HAVE TESTED AS OF TODAY I
THINK 4,600 OF THESE.
00:08:06WE ARE CONSISTENTLY GETTING
HITS ON ONE OUT OF EVERY THREE.
00:08:13ONE COUNTY ALONE HAS INDICTED
OVER 170 PEOPLE.
00:08:15THERE'S NOT ONE OF THESE CASES
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN TESTED IF
00:08:18IT WASN'T FOR OUR INITIATIVE
AND WHAT WE DID.
00:08:21WE'RE TESTING THEM AT ABOUT A
RATE OF 300 A MONTH.
00:08:25AND AT 300 A MONTH, WE GET A
HIT ON ABOUT 100 EVERY SINGLE
00:08:29MONTH.
IT'S AMAZING THE RESULTS.
00:08:32AND IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
IT WASN'T BEING DONE.
00:08:35IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO
BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING RAPISTS
00:08:38AF THE STREETS.
WE'RE GOING BACK IN THESE
00:08:41DEPARTMENTS AND TELLING THEM
REMEMBER YOUR 15-YEAR-OLD CASE?
00:08:44OK, WE NOW KNOW WHO THE RAPIST
IS.
00:08:46SOMETIMES THE GUY'S IN JAIL.
PRISON.
00:08:48SOMETIMES HE'S DEAD.
SOMETIMES HE'S LOOSE AND WE
00:08:52HAVE TO GO AFTER HIM.
BUT IT'S SO IMPORTANT NOT JUST
00:08:56TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC, BUT I
THINK WE OWE THAT TO THE WOMEN
00:09:00WHO AGREED, AFTER THEY'D BEEN
RAPED, THEY AGREED WITH THE
00:09:04POLICE, ALLOWED THE POLICE OR
THE SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE TO GET
00:09:07THIS EVIDENCE FOR A RAPE KIT,
AND THEN NO ONE EVER DID
00:09:10ANYTHING.
WE OWE THAT TO THE WOMEN TO DO
00:09:12THESE RAPE KITS AND WE'RE DOING
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
00:09:15>> NOW, I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT
A COUPLE THINGS THAT HAVE COME
00:09:19UP.
FIRST YOUR OPPONENT DAVID
00:09:21PEPPER IS SAYING THAT YOU'RE
RUNNING A PASSIVE PAY TO PLAY
00:09:25OPERATION WHEN IT COMES TO
AWARDING DEBT COLLECTION
00:09:27CONTRACTS TO ATTORNEYS WHO
DONATED TO YOUR CAMPAIGN, THE
00:09:30CAMPAIGN TO YOUR SON AND THE
OHIO REPUBLICAN PARTY.
00:09:33THERE ARE REPORTS THAT YOUR
CAMPAIGN RECEIVED MORE THAN
00:09:37$215,000 IN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM
ATTORNEYS AND DEBT AGENCIES
00:09:40THAT GOT CONTRACTS WITHIN TWO
MONTHS.
00:09:42TELL ME ABOUT YOUR REACTION TO
THOSE -- THOSE REPORTS.
00:09:45>> FIRST OF ALL, OUR DEBT
COLLECTION HAS BEEN HIGHLY
00:09:50SUCCESSFUL.
WE COLLECT MONEY FOR THE STATE
00:09:52OF OHIO.
I'M THE FIRST ATTORNEY GENERAL
00:09:56THAT'S EVER BROUGHT BACK
WITHIN, I THINK, THREE YEARS A
00:10:00BILLION DOLLARS OF TAXPAYERS'
MONEY.
00:10:02SO WE'RE GETTING THAT MONEY
BACK FOR THE TAXPAYERS.
00:10:05WE HAVE A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL
GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING
00:10:09THIS.
AS FAR AS THE CHARGES THAT HE'S
00:10:13MAKING, THEY'RE TOTALLY
IRRESPONSIBLE.
00:10:14WE'RE FOLLOWING THE LAW.
WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE
00:10:16SHOULD DO.
AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE VERY
00:10:19TRANSPARENT ABOUT IT.
THERE'S NO SECRET ABOUT WHO
00:10:22GETS BUSINESS.
THERE'S NO SECRET ABOUT WHO
00:10:25GIVES MONEY.
THAT'S ALL PUBLISHED.
00:10:27THERE'S NO WAY THAT ANYBODY
GIVING MONEY TO MY CAMPAIGN ANY
00:10:30MORE THAN IT WOULD FOR ANYBODY
ELSE THAT THAT IMPACTS WHAT
00:10:37PEOPLE GET BUSINESS.
WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER, I THINK,
00:10:41A VERY, VERY GOOD TEAM OF
LAWYERS, SPECIAL COUNSEL
00:10:46LAWYERS WHO HAVE DONE A
RECORD-SETTING AMOUNT OF
00:10:49COLLECTIONS.
WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THAT.
00:10:51>> YOU'RE KNOWN TO BE PRO-LIFE.
YOU BACKED HOBBY LOBBY IN ITS
00:10:55FIGHT AGAINST PROVIDING CERTAIN
FORMS OF BIRTH CONTROL.
00:10:57THOSE WHO DISAGREE SAY THEY
DON'T FEEL THIS IS A WISE USE
00:11:02OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND A LOT
OF CRITICS SAY YOUR OPPOSITION
00:11:05TO SAME SEX MARRIAGE FALLS
UNDER THAT CATEGORY OF MISUSE
00:11:09OR WASTE OF TAX PAIRS' DOLLARS
BECAUSE OF A SUPREME COURT
00:11:15DECISION SAYING THE GOVERNMENT
CAN'T DISCRIMINATE.
00:11:17ARE YOUR PERSONAL VIEWPOINTS
COMING INTO CONFLICT WITH YOUR
00:11:20ROLE AS ATTORNEY GENERAL?
>> NO.
00:11:22YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING.
WE FILED A FRIEND OF THE COURT
00:11:28BRIEFS IN REGARD TO THESE CASES
THAT INVOLVE RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.
00:11:33SO FAR THE COURTS HAVE BEEN
FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN AGREEING
00:11:36WITH MY POSITION ON THAT.
AS FAR AS SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, I
00:11:39DON'T HAVE A CHOICE ABOUT THAT.
I HAVE MY OWN PERSONAL BELIEFS.
00:11:45BUT THE JOB -- ONE OF THE MANY
JOBS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IS
00:11:50TO DEFEND OHIO'S STATUTES FROM
ATTACK AND TO DEFEND OHIO'S
00:11:53CONSTITUTION FROM ATTACK.
THIS WAS A CASE WHERE THE
00:11:56VOTERS A FEW YEARS AGO VOTED
FAIRLY OVERWHELMINGLY TO PUT
00:11:59INTO THE OHIO CONSTITUTION THAT
MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN AND A
00:12:04WOMAN.
THAT IS BEING ATTACKED NOW IN
00:12:08COURT.
MY OBLIGATION IS TO DEFEND THAT
00:12:11LAW IN COURT.
IF THE VOTERS ON THAT SAME DAY
00:12:14INSTEAD OF DOING THAT HAD PUT A
AMENDMENT INTO THE OHIO
00:12:18CONSTITUTION WHICH SAID THAT
MARRIAGE COULD BE BETWEEN
00:12:23PEOPLE OF THE SAME SEX, IT
WOULD HAVE BEEN MY SWORN
00:12:25OBLIGATION TO DEFEND THAT.
SO THAT'S ALL THAT IS.
00:12:29IT IS -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY
OPPONENT, YOU KNOW, IS GOING TO
00:12:34DO.
IS HE GOING TO CHOOSE WHICH
00:12:37LAWS IN OHIO OR WHICH PARTS OF
OUR CONSTITUTION HE'S GOING TO
00:12:40DEFEND?
AND THEN WHEN THE CASE IS
00:12:45CALLED, WHO'S REPRESENTING THE
STATE?
00:12:47IT WILL BE NO ONE.
THERE WILL BE AN EMPTY CHAIR.
00:12:49IT'S JUST ABSURD, HIS POSITION.
>> FINALLY, REPUBLICANS HAVE
00:12:53NOTED THAT YOUR OPPONENT PAID
$9,00 FOR PARKING TICKETS.
00:12:59DO THE PARKING TICKETS MATTER
HERE?
00:13:02>> WELL, IT WOULD HAVE MATTERED
TO MY WIFE, IF I HAD GONE HOME
00:13:04AND TOLD HER THAT I HAD ALL
THOSE PARKING TICKETS.
00:13:07THAT WOULDN'T HAVE WORKED TOO
WELL.
00:13:09LOOK, I DON'T -- I DON'T
UNDERSTAND IT.
00:13:12HE CAN EXPLAIN THAT HIMSELF.
>> ALL RIGHT.
00:13:14ATTORNEY GENERAL MIKE DEWINE,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING
00:13:17HERE.
>> THANK YOU.
00:13:18>> DEMOCRAT DAVID PEPPER IS
CHALLENGING DEWINE.
00:13:20HE WAS ELECTED TO HIS FIRST
OFFICE, CINCINNATI CITY
00:13:23COUNCIL, IN 2001, AND HAS
SERVED AS HAMILTON COUNTY
00:13:27COMMISSIONER AND AS THE
COMMISSION'S PRESIDENT.
00:13:29THIS IS HIS SECOND STATEWIDE
CAMPAIGN.
00:13:31PEPPER WAS THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY'S CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR
00:13:33IN 2010.
PEPPER SAYS HE FEELS MOST
00:13:36IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF THE
A.G.'S OFFICE IS TO KEEP
00:13:38PEOPLE, FAMILIES, AND
COMMUNITIES SAFE.
00:13:40WELCOME DAVID PEPPER.
ONE ISSUE THAT'S BECOME
00:13:43IMPORTANT IN THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL'S RACE HAS BEEN THE
00:13:45PRESCRIPTION PAIN KILLER
SITUATION AND ALSO THE HEROIN
00:13:47DRUG CRISIS.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
00:13:49FAMILIAR WITH THE STATS AND HOW
BAD THE SITUATION S. BUT WHAT
00:13:52DO YOU THINK THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL'S OFFICE CAN DO ABOUT
00:13:54THAT?
>> ACTUALLY A WHOLE LOT AND A
00:13:56WHOLE LOT MORE THAN IS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
00:13:58AMAZINGLY JUST YESTERDAY,
SOMEONE FROM MR. DEWINE'S
00:14:01OFFICE SAID THEY DIDN'T THINK
IT WAS THE JOB OF THE ATTORNEY
00:14:04GENERAL TO HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE
APPROACH TO THE HEROIN CRISIS.
00:14:06I COULDN'T DISAGREE MORE.
WE'VE LAID OUT A SPECIFIC PLAN.
00:14:10AND RIGHT NOW IN OHIO THERE IS
NO PLAN ON THE HEROIN CRISIS.
00:14:14THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF TALK.
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF ACTION,
00:14:17AND WE ARE SEEING DEATHS
SKYROCKET.
00:14:20PEOPLE KNOW THE STATISTICS.
IT'S BEEN A CRISIS FOR YEARS,
00:14:21BUT NO PLAN.
SO WE'VE LAID OUT A SPECIFIC
00:14:25PLAN.
WE NEED TO BE A LOT SMARTER
00:14:27THAN PREVENTION.
WE NEED A LOT MORE CAPACITY IN
00:14:30ALL COUNTIES FOR TREATMENT.
RIGHT NOW THE WAITING LISTS ARE
00:14:33TOO LONG.
SOME COUNTIES HAVE NOTHING TO
00:14:35OFFER PEOPLE WHO ARE ADDICTED.
WE WILL NEVER SOLVE THE PROBLEM
00:14:38UNLESS WE START TREATING PEOPLE
WHO ARE ADDICTED BUT FIGURE OUT
00:14:42THEY NEED HELP.
WE NEED TO BE A LOT TOUGHER ON
00:14:44ENFORCEMENT.
WHETHER IT'S MAKING SURE THE
00:14:47DEALERS ON THE STREET ACTUALLY
GO TO JAIL FOR THEIR DEALING OR
00:14:49WHETHER IT'S MAKING SURE THAT
WHEN WE CONNECT A DEALER WHO
00:14:53SOLD A HEROIN UNE THAT IT LEADS
TO A DEATH, THAT WE CONNECT AND
00:14:58HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT
DEATH AND WE NEED BETTER
00:15:01TRAINING.
SO WE'VE LAID OUT A VERY
00:15:02CONCRETE PLAN BASED ON BEST
PRACTICES AROUND THE COUNTRY.
00:15:05MORE TREATMENT, MORE
PREVENTION, TOUGHER
00:15:08ENFORCEMENT, SMARTER N
FORCEMENT.
00:15:11THE TRUTH IS THERE IS NO PLAN
AND JUST YESTERDAY, THE
00:15:14ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE SAID
WHEN THEY ASKED ABOUT MY PLAN,
00:15:19THEY SAID ALL THOSE THINGS
DAVID PEPPER TALKS ABOUT,
00:15:22THAT'S NOT OUR JOB.
THAT IS PRECISELY THE JOB OF
00:15:26THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO BE A
LEADER, I'D SAY THE NUMBER ONE
00:15:28PUBLIC SAFETY CRISIS IN OUR
STATE.
00:15:30>> THE A.G.'S OFFICE IS
RELEASING ITS PROGRESS ON THE
00:15:33TESTING OF THE BACKLOG RAPE
KITS THAT HAVE BEEN TURNED IN
00:15:35BY LAW ENFORCEMENT.
AS OF AUGUST, 4,413 RAPE KITS
00:15:39HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED OR HAVE
BEEN TESTED.
00:15:41THAT'S ONLY HALF OF THE 8,381
THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED BY 141
00:15:46LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AROUND
THE STATE.
00:15:49NOW, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS
SAID THAT MANY, MANY MORE THAN
00:15:54WERE TESTED BEFORE.
WHAT'S YOUR PLAN?
00:15:56>> MY PLAN IS TO SPEED IT UP.
I GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR HAVING
00:16:00BEGUN THE TESTING A COUPLE
YEARS AGO.
00:16:01BUT WHEN YOU KNOW THERE ARE
THOUSANDS OF KITS -- RIGHT NOW
00:16:05THAT ARE IN THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL'S OFFICE ITSELF, THERE
00:16:08ARE NOW ALMOST 4,000 KITS ON
SHELVES WAITING TO BE TESTED.
00:16:12WE KNOW THERE ARE THOUSANDS
MORE BEYOND HIS OFFICE ALL OVER
00:16:15THE STATE THAT STILL NEED TO
COME TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
00:16:18OFFICE.
AND RIGHT NOW HE'S ONLY ABLE TO
00:16:20TEST 300 A MONTH.
SO I GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR
00:16:23BRINGING THE TESTING, BUT I
DON'T GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR NOT
00:16:26MANAGING THIS PROCESS WELL.
WE KNOW THAT IT'S WORKING, SO
00:16:29LET'S SPEED IT UP.
THE BEST WAY IS TO DO WHAT
00:16:33PEOPLE IN GOVERNMENT DO WHEN
THEY KNOW HOW TO MANAGE, THEY
00:16:36SHARE THE SERVICE.
SO I WOULD WORK WITH THE GOOD
00:16:39QUALITY CRIME LABS AROUND THE
STATE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AND
00:16:42ASK THEM TO TAKE ON A SHARE OF
THE TESTING.
00:16:44I'D SEND RESOURCES THEIR WAY TO
DO SO, SO WE GREATLY INCREASE
00:16:48THE 300 A MONTH.
WOMEN ACROSS OHIO HAVE WAITED
00:16:51LONG ENOUGH AS THESE KITS HAVE
SAT THERE.
00:16:53WE KNOW WE CAN TEST THEM.
WE KNOW AT LEAST THE RESULTS.
00:16:57SO WHY ARE WE GOING TO HAVE
PEOPLE WAIT YEARS LONGER TO
00:17:01FINALLY GET THEM TESTED?
I WOULD JUST SAY THE DIFFERENCE
00:17:04BETWEEN MYSELF AND MR. DEWINE,
I'M A LOT LESS PATIENT FOR 300
00:17:09KITS A MONTH.
I THINK THAT IS FAR TOO SLOW
00:17:12WHEN THE BACKLOG IN HIS OWN
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE,
00:17:14EVERY MONTH HE RECEIVES KITS
AND HE CAN'T EVEN KEEP UP WITH
00:17:17WHAT HE'S RECEIVING, SO IN HIS
OWN OFFICE, THE BACKLOG GETS
00:17:22LONGER EVERY MOVEMENT IT'S BEEN
ALMOST 10 MONTHS IN A ROW THAT
00:17:27THE BACKLOG IS LARGER AND NOT
SMALLER.
00:17:29>> I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT A
FEW THINS.
00:17:31YOU'VE BEEN SAYING THAT DEWINE
IS RUNNING A MASSIVE PAY TO
00:17:36PLAY OPERATION WHEN IT COMES TO
REWARDING DEBT COLLECTION
00:17:40CONTRACTS WITH COMPANIES WHO
HAVE GIVEN TO HIM AND HIS SON
00:17:44AND THE OHIO REPUBLICAN PARTY.
BUT YOU HAVE NOT CALLED FOR A
00:17:47BAN ON CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS
THAT WOULD KIND OF ELIMINATE
00:17:50THIS APPEARANCE.
WHAT'S YOUR SOLUTION?
00:17:52>> MY SOLUTION IS A WHOLE LOT
OF VERY IMPORTANT THINGS, BUT
00:17:55LET ME SLOW DOWN FOR ONE SECOND
AND EXPLAIN.
00:17:58WE ARE SEEING A LEVEL OF PAY TO
PLAY THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
00:18:02EGREGIOUS.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LITERALLY
00:18:06BIDS BEING RIGGED TO HELP A
COMPANY THAT ONLY EXISTED FOR
00:18:09TWO DAYS BEFORE THE BID.
AND THAT COMPANY SCORED A 95
00:18:13OUT OF 100 AND ALMOST A PERFECT
SCORE ON ITS EXPERIENCE WHEN IT
00:18:17ONLY EXISTED FOR TWO DAYS.
AND THAT COMPANY HAD MET WITH
00:18:20MR. DEWINE MANY TIMES.
IT HAD GIVEN GENEROUSLY TO HIS
00:18:23CHARITY, TO HIS SON, TO THE
PARTY, THEN GAVE HIM MONEY.
00:18:26WE'RE TALKING ABOUT OTHER
PROPOSALS WHERE LITERALLY FIRMS
00:18:29ARE SENDING CHECKS TO MIKE
DEWINE'S CAMPAIGN ON THE EXACT
00:18:33DAY THEY SEND PROPOSALS FOR THE
OFFICE.
00:18:36AND THEY GET PICKED.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MEETINGS IN
00:18:38HIS OFFICE WITH HIS CHIEF
FUNDRAISER REFEWING A LIST OF
00:18:42PEOPLE WHO ARE BIDDING AT THAT
VERY MOMENT TO HELP DECIDE.
00:18:46SO -- BY THE WAY, THIS IS THE
OFFICE IN OHIO, MORE THAN ANY
00:18:49OTHER, THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE
CRACKING DOWN ON CRUPS.
00:18:52-- CORRUPTION.
AND CALLING OUT PAY TO PLAY.
00:18:55AND DEMANDING HIGHER INTEGRITY
IN GOVERNMENT.
00:18:57AND IT'S BREAKING ALL THE
RULES.
00:18:59SO I WOULD TELL YOU IF YOU'RE
RIGGING BIDS AND YOU'RE DOING
00:19:01THIS OTHER STUFF, YOU HAVE ZERO
CREDIBILITY.
00:19:04THE KIND OF STUFF WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THIS OFFICE DOING, IF
00:19:07MAYOR COLEMAN DID IT, THERE
WOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION.
00:19:09AND I DON'T THINK THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL SHOULD SOMEHOW HAVE A
00:19:12LOWER STANDARD THAN THE OFFICES
THAT HE'D INVESTIGATE IF THEY
00:19:15WERE DOING THE SAME THING.
SO THE PROBLEM SE NORMOUS, AND
00:19:17HERE'S THE PART THAT PEOPLE
DON'T EVEN REALIZE.
00:19:20OF ALL THE MONEY HE'S RAISED
THROUGH PAY TO PLAY, BECAUSE HE
00:19:23HAD TO LOAN HIS CAMPAIGN SO
MUCH MONEY TO WIN A FEW YEARS
00:19:27AGO, $1.7 MILLION THAT HE'S
RAISED FOR PAY TO PLAY HAS GONE
00:19:31BACK TO HIS OWN PERSONAL BANK
ACCOUNT.
00:19:34HE'S PAID HIMSELF BACK.
SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
00:19:36SOMETHING -- THERE'S ALWAYS
BEEN ISSUES IN THIS OFFICE THAT
00:19:39WE NEED TO CLEAN UP.
BUT THE LAST THREE YEARS HAVE
00:19:41BEEN PAY TO PLAY AND CORRUPTION
ON STEROIDS WHEN IT COMES TO
00:19:44THESE PROCESSES.
HOW DO WE CLEAN IT UP?
00:19:47EVERYTHING SHOULD BE
TRANSPARENT.
00:19:49EVERY DECISION ABOUT WHAT LAW
FIRM OR COLLECTIONS FIRM GETS
00:19:52PICKED SHOULD BE BASED ON
MERITS AND NUMERICS AND
00:19:56NUMBERS.
NOT BASED ON WHO'S GIVING THE
00:19:58MOST.
THERE SHOULD BE A BLACKOUT
00:20:00PERIOD SO PEOPLE AREN'T GIVING
ANY TIME ANYWHERE NEAR THE
00:20:04BIDS.
RIGHT NOW LITERALLY THE MONEY
00:20:06FLOWS INTO MR. DEWINE'S
CAMPAIGN ACCOUNT IN THE MIDDLE
00:20:09OF THE BID WINDOW.
AND EVERY YEAR MORE MONEY HAS
00:20:12FLOWED DURING THE WIDOW.
SO WE WILL CUT OFF ANY
00:20:15FUNDRAISING ANY TIME NEAR THAT
WINDOW.
00:20:17MR. DEWINE SAID HE WON'T DO
THAT.
00:20:19WE HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER
STANDARDS BUT A LOT OF IT
00:20:22INVOLVES INDEPENDENCE,
TRANSPARENCY AND BASICALLY THE
00:20:24KIND OF COMMON SENSE APPROACH
THAT MOST CITIZENS AND MOST
00:20:28OFFICIALS WOULD EXPECT IT TO BE
DOING ALREADY.
00:20:30>> LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT, YOU
BLASTED DEWINE FOR HIS TRANSIN
00:20:34THE HOBBY LOBBY CASE AND FOR
THE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE BAN IN
00:20:38OHIO, SAYING HIS PERSONAL
OPINIONS ARE GOVERNING HOW HE
00:20:41RUNS THE OFFICE.
THIS ISN'T THAT THE CASE FOR
00:20:44ANY CANDIDATE?
WOULDN'T YOUR PERSONAL OPINIONS
00:20:46SAY YOUR SUPPORT OF SAME-SEX
MARRIAGE COLOR HOW YOU WOULD
00:20:49FIGHT THAT BATTLE?
>> NO, I THINK YOU HAVE TO BE
00:20:51BASED ON THE CONSTITUTION.
I WILL NOT BE RUNNING AROUND
00:20:53THE COUNTRY FIGHTING MY
POLITICAL BATTLES USING THE
00:20:57PUBLIC OFFICE AND PUBLIC
TAXPAYERS THAT ARE PAYING THE
00:20:59ATTORNEY GENERAL.
TO AGAIN EXPLAIN, MIKE DEWINE
00:21:03WAS THE LEAD ATTORNEY GENERAL
IN THE COUNTRY ARGUING ON
00:21:07BEHALF OF HOBBY LOBBY AT THE
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED
00:21:10STATES.
A MINNESOTA PRIVATE CORPORATION
00:21:13GOT THE HELP OF OHIO'S ATTORNEY
GENERAL, PAID FOR BY ALL OF US.
00:21:17AND SO HE'S NOT -- IT'S NOT
ONLY HIS PERSONAL VIEW.
00:21:20HE BELIEVES SO STRONGLY
APPARENTLY THAT THE WOMEN OF
00:21:22OHIO NEED TO GET THEIR BOSS'
MORAL AND RELIGIOUS OPINION FOR
00:21:28THINGS LIKE BIRTH CONTROL, HE'S
WILLING TO TAKE THE PUBLIC
00:21:30OFFICE AND FLY TO WASHINGTON
AND LITERALLY FILE THE LEAD
00:21:34BRIEF -- IT WAS WRITTEN IN
OHIO.
00:21:3617 OTHER ATTORNEYS GENERAL
SIGNED IT.
00:21:40BUT THE LEAD BRIEF WAS WRITTEN
IN OHIO.
00:21:41I THINK THAT'S A TOTAL MISUSE
OF THE OFFICE.
00:21:45THIS JOB SHOULDN'T BE THAT
PARTISAN.
00:21:46I WON'T BE RUNNING AROUND DOING
CRUSADES BASED ON MY OWN
00:21:50POLITICAL VIEWS.
IF I'M IN ANOTHER STATE
00:21:53FIGHTING A BATTLE WITH THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE AS
00:21:56ATTORNEY GENERAL, IT WILL BE
BECAUSE THE PUBLIC INTEREST OF
00:21:58OHIO IS AT STAKE.
MAYBE THERE'S A COMPANY IN
00:22:01ANOTHER STATE THAT'S RIPPING
OFF OHIO CONSUMERS OR MAYBE
00:22:05THERE'S AN ISSUE IN ANOTHER
STATE THAT'S UNDERMINING, LET'S
00:22:07SAY, THE CLEANLINESS OF OHIO'S
WATER.
00:22:10I'LL GO TO COURT TO STEP UP ON
THAT TYPE OF ISSUE.
00:22:13BUT WHAT I THINK IS TOTALLY
INAPPROPRIATE IS HE'S USING
00:22:16OHIO TAX DOLLARS TO FIGHT
BATTLES THAT ARE CLEARLY ONLY
00:22:19ABOUT HIS PERSONAL, AND I'D SAY
FRANKLY RATHER EXTREME EYE DEE
00:22:24COLING ON THINGS LIKE BIRTH
CONTROL.
00:22:26THAT HAS NO PLACE IN THIS
OFFICE.
00:22:28WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY
WHEN WE HAVE A HEROIN CRISIS TO
00:22:30SOLVE.
>> I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE
00:22:32REPORTS THAT YOU PAID $9,289
DOLLAR FOR PARKING TICKETS IN
00:22:37THE LAST 14 YEARS.
YOU HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE
00:22:39TRYING -- REPUBLICANS WHO ARE
TRYING TO CONNECT YOU WITH ED
00:22:43FITZGERALD AND HIS DRIVER'S
LICENSE ISSUES SAYING THAT BOTH
00:22:46OF YOU ARE UNFIT TO LEAD.
RESPOND.
00:22:49>> NO ONE IN THE LAST SIX
MONTHS HAS HAD MORE
00:22:52INVESTIGATIONS SHOWING PROBLEMS
THAN MIKE DEWINE.
00:22:54AGAIN, THE PAY TO PLAY.
THIS RECENT HORRIBLE
00:22:58INVESTIGATION OF A SEXUAL HA
RATIONMENT THAT HE TAMPERED
00:23:02WITH, APPARENTLY, AND WHEN YOU
READ THE FACTS.
00:23:04AND SO, OF COURSE, THEY'RE
TRYING TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT
00:23:08FROM SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS AND
FRANKLY REALITY OF CORRUPTION
00:23:12IN THE OFFICE, SO THEY'RE
BRINGING UP AN OLD STORY ABOUT
00:23:14PARKING TICKETS WHICH I GOT TOO
MANY OF BACK WHEN I WAS ON THE
00:23:17CITY COUNCIL AND COUNTY
COMMISSION AND WHICH I PAID.
00:23:20MOST VOTERS, I THINK, CAN SEE
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT AND
00:23:24THE MULTIPLE MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS THAT WE'RE SEEING FLOW
00:23:28THROUGH PAY TO PLAY AND THE
FACT THAT MIKE DEWINE HAS PAID
00:23:30HIMSELF $1.7 MILLION FROM THE
MONEY HE'S RAISED FROM THOSE
00:23:34WHO ARE DOING BUSINESS WITH THE
OFFICE.
00:23:36SO OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW,
ELECTIONS ARE WHAT THEY ARE.
00:23:38IT IS A SILLY SEASON.
AND I'M SURE THEY'LL HAVE
00:23:42SOMETHING ELSE NEXT, BUT WE'RE
FOCUSED ON THE BIG ISSUES.
00:23:45THE PROBLEMS IN THE OFFICE AND
FRANKLY, EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY,
00:23:49THE ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE
SOLVED IN OHIO, LIKE THE HEROIN
00:23:52CRISIS, LIKE VIOLENCE AGAINST
WOMEN, AND AGAIN, THE NEED TO
00:23:56GET GOOD JOBS BACK TO THE
STATE.
00:23:57>> AND FINALLY, THE DEMOCRATS
HAVE BEEN RELEASING SOME POLICY
00:24:01POLLING NUMBERS IN THE
EXECUTIVE RACES AS WELL AS THE
00:24:04GOVERNOR'S RACE, BUT NOT IN
YOUR RACE.
00:24:05WHY?
>> YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT --
00:24:08THAT'S UP TO US.
AND WE'RE NOT ALL -- YOU KNOW,
00:24:12NO CAREER POLITICIANS WHO'VE
BEEN ON THE BALLOT FOR DECADES
00:24:15WHEN THEY CARE MORE ABOUT
POLLING THAN THE HEROIN CRISIS.
00:24:17WHEN THEY BRUSH OFF
INVESTIGATIONS BUT WANT TO ACT
00:24:19LIKE IT'S A CONSPIRACY TO NOT
HAVE POLL NUMBERS OUT THERE.
00:24:22>> IT'S NOT BECAUSE YOU'RE SO
FAR BEHIND --
00:24:25>> THE TRUTH IS WE KNOW, WE'VE
KNOWN FOR THREE YEARS.
00:24:28MIKE DEWINE HAS BEEN ON THE
BALLOT AS LONG AS I'VE BEEN
00:24:31ALIVE.
SO HE'S BETTER KNOWN THAN I AM.
00:24:33WE KNOW THAT.
THAT'S OK.
00:24:34HE WAS BETTER KNOWN THAN SHARON
BROWN.
00:24:37HE LOST BY 12 POINTS.
IN 2010, A YEAR WHERE A
00:24:42REPUBLICAN COULD NOT LOSE, MIKE
DEWINE ONLY GOT 47% OF THE
00:24:49VOTE.
HE WON BY ONE POINT.
00:24:50HE WAS AHEAD IN POLLING IN ALL
THOSE RACES BECAUSE HE'S BETTER
00:24:53KNOWN BECAUSE HE'S BEEN ON THE
BALLOT FOR 40 YEARS.
00:24:55WE'RE NOT SURPRISED IF 100
PEOPLE OUT THERE SAY THEY KNOW
00:24:59HIM AND NOT ME.
I HAVE YET TO RUN TELEVISION OR
00:25:02ANYTHING ELSE.
THE PROBLEM FOR HIM IS THAT HE
00:25:04ISN'T WELL KNOWN.
IT'S AN ELECTION DAY FOR MORE
00:25:08THAN A DECADE, WHEN PEOPLE WERE
ASKED AND PEOPLE WEREN'T HAVE
00:25:13EXCITED ABOUT IT.
HE ONLY HIT 46% IN 2010.
00:25:18WE KNOW HE'S BETTER KNOWN THAN
WE R WE'RE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT
00:25:21THE DAY-TO-DAY PROCESS STUFF OF
POLLING.
00:25:23WE'RE MUCH MORE INTERESTED IN
PROVIDING REAL SOLUTION TO THE
00:25:27HEROIN CRISIS, GETTING THE
RIGHT-WING POLITICS OUT OF THIS
00:25:31OFFICE.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO REPRESENT
00:25:33HOBBY LOB YEEFMENT WE'RE GOING
TO REPRESENT OHIO'S WOMEN.
00:25:36WE'RE GOING TO CLEAN UP THIS
OFF FROM PAY TO PLAY AND ALL
00:25:38THIS STUFF SO IT CAN BE A
LEADER OF PUBLIC INTENSE RITTY,
00:25:42CLEAN UP GOVERNMENT ACROSS OHIO
AND NOT BE THE OFFICE THAT'S
00:25:46VIOLATING THE RULES WORSE THAN
ANYTHING ELSE.
00:25:48>> DAVID PEPPER, THANK YOU FOR
BEING HERE.
00:25:50>> THANK YOU.
