00:10:22.000So I guess I'll start by noting that Pennsylvania was truly the keystone state, not just in name, but in the November election this last time around.
00:10:31.000You had an incredible campaign defeating a very well-entrenched political machine, and Bob Casey's been there for, like, longer than I've been alive.
00:10:46.000But basically, most of my life that I remember, at least.
00:10:50.000How is all of that translating into strategy and momentum in the United States Senate?
00:10:55.000Obviously, you know, the way we look at a map in advance.
00:10:58.000You know, this was the last kind of cycle.
00:11:00.000We had a chance to, like, make some gains.
00:11:02.000Although, you know, there's looking like there could be some other stuff coming on right now that didn't look quite as favorably two years ago.
00:11:09.000What are you seeing in all of that in the Senate?
00:11:12.000Yeah, well, I mean, it was, as you said, it was just an epic campaign.
00:11:16.000And as you recall, it was my second one.
00:11:31.000And so I had a chance to campaign with him across the Commonwealth.
00:11:36.000And a couple of things were happening.
00:11:38.000It was a change election where your dad and I were talking about the same things, but essentially getting the country back on track, getting the economy back on track, inflation wildly out of control, a border wildly out of control, 4,000 fentanyl deaths, this incredible fight and attack on fossil fuels, which is incredibly damaging for Pennsylvania, law and disorder in our cities.
00:12:29.000We put a huge amount of money into that.
00:12:31.000And the reason I call that out is because that's going to be important for the future in terms of making sure Pennsylvania continues to be in the red column and the coalition your dad built.
00:12:43.000Which was great turnout of African Americans, Hispanics, Jewish voters in Pennsylvania, the trade unions.
00:12:50.000I'm at a trade union facility today, and the trades probably voted 65-70% for your dad and for me, despite the fact that the Nationals had endorsed Harris and Casey.
00:13:02.000So it's that combination of things that led to the victory.
00:13:07.000And in one sentence, I think the key to our success is delivering on the promises.
00:13:12.000And your dad is, you know, going in a million miles an hour.
00:13:15.000The rest of us are trying to keep up with him.
00:13:17.000But that agenda that he promised and that I promised, we got to deliver on it.
00:13:22.000Yeah, I think it's a really good point.
00:13:24.000I mean, you mentioned, you know, the first time you ran, you lost by 900 votes over the entire state of Pennsylvania, guys.
00:13:29.000Just so we understand, like, these are, you know, basis points.
00:13:33.000You know, right now, one of the things I got to actually just use this as an opportunity to create a little bit of awareness up in Wisconsin.
00:13:40.000There's a really important Supreme Court seat that's coming up.
00:13:42.000I guess it's like the first week in April.
00:13:44.000And our people right now are just they're happy.
00:13:50.000We're trying to get peace talks going.
00:13:52.000You know, so our people are sort of sitting there.
00:13:53.000So you have this new Supreme Court race in Wisconsin that could literally tip the Supreme Court, which would then lead to redistricting, which could cost us two seats.
00:14:02.000No one in Wisconsin that's conservative, basically.
00:14:07.000I went up there with Charlie Kirk, you know, last week on Monday, and it was like, I mean, the people were super excited about what was going on, but like so few people realized that, oh my God, like this could be a tipping point.
00:14:18.000It's literally like the keystone of the Supreme Court.
00:14:21.000It doesn't go right or left, which is going to be a major decision.
00:14:24.000You have a radical leftist that wants men and women's sports, doesn't want us deporting, you know, criminal murderers and illegals.
00:14:42.000And it's like, if the districts knew that there was a special election, we'd win in a minute.
00:14:48.000But there's two seats, like the old Matt Gaetz seat and the old Mike Waltz seat, that we could lose because people aren't even thinking about it.
00:15:27.000Single vote Trump people, and we've got to not do that because every time you don't vote because Trump's not on the ticket, it doesn't matter.
00:15:35.000There's a Democrat out there voting for someone whose agenda it is to make sure he doesn't get anything done.
00:17:53.000And what I think is happening from Doge is that the American people are seeing some crazy stuff that their taxpayer dollars are being spent on.
00:18:04.000In the ability of this bureaucracy, these bureaucracies across the different departments, to allocate my precious tax dollars in a way that makes sense to me.
00:18:21.000You've got to make drastic changes, and I think that's what's happening.
00:18:24.000Yeah, for those who don't know, I mean, Dave was a serious business guy, very high level, dealt with real stuff.
00:18:30.000One of the few people probably in the Senate that...
00:18:32.000Actually understands how real business works, how the entire systems are there.
00:18:36.000So, you know, I guess that maybe that leads me to sort of the next question.
00:18:40.000Last week, you saw Chuck Schumer, I guess he was on The View saying, I mean, you know, people, they don't want to give the government half of their money.
00:18:48.000Like, it's almost like they earned it without us.
00:19:47.000First of all, I think it's just that contrast between a guy who spent his entire life in politics and you grow up in the government and you're a hammer looking for a nail.
00:19:58.000You think the government's the answer to everything.
00:20:02.000Like your dad who has a whole life of career of success of tough choices that can come in and say this is madness or Elon Musk who can say it's madness or somebody like me.
00:20:11.000It's so antithetical, so crazy compared to the world that we know that you start to question everything.
00:20:25.000It's become ingrained in our government.
00:20:29.000And it's one of the reasons when I was campaigning with your dad, I would say, and it's starting to happen, you not only need to downsize the government, you need to take these pieces of the government and move it out of Washington.
00:20:39.000You need to put the Department of Energy in Pittsburgh, right?
00:20:42.000Because that's where it's going to be in touch with the people it's actually trying.
00:20:47.000And I think what happened with Chuck Schumer is just an example of why the Democrats keep fighting your dad on 80-20 issues.
00:20:57.000And the reason they're fighting on 80-20 issues, which 80% of Republicans are with your dad, 87% of the country is with your dad, is because they're only hanging around with the 20%.
00:21:06.000That's the world they live in is the 20%.
00:21:09.000And that's why the Democratic Party, unless it has a real come to Jesus, is going to be lost for the next generation.
00:21:16.000So, you know, I guess, you know, maybe the one guy, you know, on the Democrat side that sometimes actually speaks a little common sense is actually, you know, the counter co-part of the, I guess, the elder statesman in the Senate, even though he's only there, you know, a couple, two years before you, you know, John Fetterman.
00:21:35.000Every once in a while he makes sense, and I made a lot of fun of him because I watched that debate with us, and I'm like, wow, this guy felt brain dead at the time, and maybe he wasn't, maybe he's recovered a little bit, maybe.
00:21:45.000Maybe he's smart enough to tell people what they want to hear, which the Democrats often do.
00:21:49.000They tell them what they want to hear and then they go do whatever sort of the special interests tell them.
00:21:53.000But, you know, he has at times stood out as a reasonable voice in the Democrat Party, although when it comes time to vote, it's often a very different story.
00:22:31.000You know, the politics so much is getting what I believe done.
00:22:35.000And so on Israel, on anti-Semitism, on supporting your dad, for example, on taking the $400 million from Colombia, he has been a voice of reason on manufacturing jobs in Pennsylvania.
00:22:54.000That was one of the things I promised to create this focused multi-agency task force that would bring the focus and the accountability to China and Mexico and others.
00:23:04.000He was the co-sponsor of the bill with me.
00:23:07.000He says, listen, this fentanyl thing is out of control.
00:23:10.000He supported your dad on the border where he said, listen, every month we have at least – no, every week rather.
00:23:16.000We have the size of Pittsburgh coming across our border.
00:23:22.000So on a lot of things, he seems to be in the right place, and I think he's going to be a good partner.
00:23:27.000And some things we just totally disagree, and we just said, listen, we're not going to agree on everything.
00:23:31.000So I think he's going to be a good partner.
00:23:34.000He's still a Democrat, and he still believes a number of things on economic policy that I think are not what I believe, but I think he's a good, authentic man.
00:23:44.000Well, listen, you obviously know a lot about economic policy.
00:23:46.000You were in banking for a long time at a really high level, very successful.
00:23:50.000So, you know, specifically, I know you're doing sort of a lot of work on, you know, the debanking with the Biden administration, really weaponizing the idea of reputational risk to basically almost incentivize banks to target conservatives.
00:24:04.000How do we end that insanity once and for all?
00:24:07.000I mean, I imagine anyone who's watching this show has dealt with it.
00:24:10.000Anyone who's tried to buy a gun has dealt with it.
00:24:12.000Anyone, you know, I mean, you were targeted by banks if you bought Bibles or anything model-related or within 1,500 miles of DC on January 6th.
00:26:26.000But didn't you for the most part handle that terribly?
00:26:29.000And there was nobody who stood up and said, yes, I handled it terribly.
00:26:32.000But I think the consensus was that they lost their way.
00:26:38.000And banking was just another example of that.
00:26:44.000Good behavior and hold them accountable when they're bad.
00:26:46.000I think that's so important and something that definitely means a lot to so many of the people that watch this show because they've gone through it, including myself.
00:26:53.000Last week on Capitol Hill, you also had, I guess, National Agriculture Week.
00:26:58.000So Pennsylvania, along with many other key states like Wisconsin and Ohio, really have critical farming sectors.
00:27:05.000How vital is it and how do we protect these industries and protect the American businesses around that, whether it be, again, from crippling regulations, foreign acquisition?
00:27:16.000It seems to be such a big part of the Maha movement making America healthy, again, doing it organically with small farms, without big ag, without the chemicals in there.
00:27:25.000How do we promote and get those businesses really rolling?
00:28:09.000We both talked about not letting China and restricting China and other countries through the CFIUS process of buying, you know, the foreign investment process of buying farmland.
00:28:20.000We've got to make sure foreign competition.
00:28:36.000And Trudeau was saying, you know, listen, after they got through the 51st state thing, Trudeau was saying, listen, we're open to U.S. goods.
00:28:42.000And I said, well, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:29:36.000She's coming to Pennsylvania in the next week or so.
00:29:39.000She is going to be a leader on this, and she knows.
00:29:44.000The kind of support our farmers are going to need to remain competitive and protect our food supply.
00:29:48.000And, you know, I'm with you on the Make America Healthy Again movement.
00:29:53.000I think that's a huge part of doing a lot of things, including reducing our health care costs, which, as you know, are ballooning out of control.
00:30:00.000Yeah, but yeah, you get people healthy with natural foods, you're not having to take care of them forever, which, you know, doesn't exactly please everyone, but should please Americans.
00:30:09.000Exactly. Dave, what steps do you think the Senate can take or, you know, how can you work with the executive branch to solidify some of our key supply chains?
00:30:17.000You know, it's sort of interesting to me that if an American company wants to make a big acquisition in China or Europe, they push back on it.
00:30:38.000You had an incredible career in the private sector, in the banking sector.
00:30:42.000What has that taught you about how government can address and encourage business instead of trying to undermine it?
00:30:49.000Well, listen, I think the idea of bringing back Good paying jobs, good men.
00:30:56.000You know, I grew up, listen, I grew up in a house where my mom and dad had both gone to college and got master's degrees and doctor degrees.
00:31:03.000So I grew up thinking the only path to a career and a good life and so forth is to go to college.
00:31:09.000And I have learned that college is probably not the right thing for even half the people, maybe a lot less, that there's great careers, great opportunity and skilled labor in making things.
00:31:21.000Due to decades of stupid policy, we've lost the capacity to make things.
00:31:27.000We've lost the capacity because we've let foreign companies essentially savage our industries because of subsidies they've had or unfair trading practices or unfair labor standards.
00:31:40.000We've let these skills diminish because we don't support with the GI Bill.
00:31:49.000The kinds of things where a kid can go and become a welder and have an $80,000, $100,000 a year job in their early 30s, which helps them do whatever they want in terms of owning a house, the American dream.
00:33:01.000There's so many people that went to college and then they expect the plumber that did do the thing responsibly, that didn't take on, you know, half a million dollars to, you know, get a degree in gender studies, that, you know, did something that can actually pay out.
00:33:11.000And then they want them to pay for the education that they sat there and wasted.
00:33:15.000It's an incredible mentality, but I guess it's just so indicative of the left right now.
00:33:19.000Yeah, no, that was a good one because you go on the campaign trail and you talk about loan forgiveness for these people, what the four-year college is and everything else, and the people paying for it are people that either paid off their loans or chose not to go to college and pursue a trade.
00:34:09.000The one thing that I have going for me from that perspective, I don't do much of it anymore, but just coming from a real estate family, my dad's whole thing was like, hey, if you're going to build a building, you better damn well know how to do it.
00:34:34.000Countries in Western Europe attacking J.D. Vance, going after my father over Ukraine and Russia, while so many of these countries are just opening up their borders, destroying, essentially, in my opinion, their civilization, pushing censorship and eliminating free speech entirely.
00:34:50.000How do you see it, and how do we stop that from metastasizing all over the world?
00:34:55.000Yeah, you know, I've been thinking about that a lot within the context of the debate over Ukraine and all these other things.
00:35:01.000And I think, you know, I listen very carefully to what your dad says.
00:35:04.000I think there's some basic tenets that I hear him say over and over again, which I think define it, at least in my mind.
00:35:11.000Number one is the concept, and I think it's absolutely critical, is peace through strength.
00:35:17.000And the notion that America is going to be the most powerful economically, the most powerful.
00:35:23.000Lethal military in the world, but a country that is going to use that power, military and economic, very judiciously, very carefully in pursuit of America's interest.
00:35:37.000So the connection between what we do abroad and how it helps people at home is unequivocally clear to everybody.
00:35:44.000I think the second tenet is a fairness.
00:35:47.000We talked about this in the context of trade, but it's in geopolitics, in military affairs, national security.
00:35:55.000The idea that if America is going to offer its protection, if America is going to be the source of stability in Asia, in the South China Sea, or in Europe, is the foundation of NATO, that those with whom we protect, those with whom we ally...
00:36:14.000And deals we made 40 or 50 years ago to help people get off their backs after World War II are not the right deal of today.
00:36:21.000And that the idea of entitlement that so many countries have around the world in their relationship with the United States, that connection has to be broken.
00:36:35.000Laying out a vision in the United States of what common sense policy looks like in terms of creating a vibrant economy, in terms of making sure the American taxpayer are well protected, essentially getting rid of that progressive ideology that's entrenched itself.
00:36:52.000And I think the other countries around the world, particularly in Europe, are many years, maybe decades behind.
00:36:58.000Where that entrenched economic socialist philosophy or that progressive ideology is going to destroy their countries unless they are able to make the same turn.
00:37:11.000You see bright spots of conservatism popping up.
00:37:14.000And I think those three pieces, we're going to project our ideals abroad by what we do at home.
00:37:18.000We're going to have peace through strength, but with a focus on America first.
00:37:23.000And we're going to make sure our allies step up and are true friends and allies, not entitled countries that take advantage of the United States.
00:37:31.000That, to me, is what our president is talking about.
00:37:35.000I think you were with him this last weekend.
00:37:40.000You have a new column out about growing up in central Pennsylvania and the lessons you learned wrestling.
00:38:16.000I grew up, you know, a part of Pennsylvania, you know, up near Scranton, wrestling in hot, smelly high school gyms called Shickalimmy and Shickshinny and Skooklehaven and Sealands Grove.
00:38:43.000You learn about resilience because everybody has to fight through getting beat or everybody has to fight through getting taken down and show real toughness.
00:38:55.000And you learn about respect because after you spend six minutes beating the tar at each other...
00:39:01.000You have to stand up and someone gets their hand lifted in the air and you shake hands and walk off the mat.
00:39:05.000So I think a lot of what's great about America, we see in those high school gyms in Pennsylvania.
00:39:12.000And that's what the column was about in the Wall Street Journal.
00:39:14.000And I think it's emblematic of, I think, the community and a set of ideals that your father really hit on the campaign.
00:39:22.000And one of the reasons I think he has such a great following in Pennsylvania.
00:39:25.000I mean, you also ran an ad during your campaign about how wrestling taught you to make the hard choices.
00:39:31.000What are those hard choices right now in the U.S. Senate?
00:39:34.000And what will your benchmark be for success in this Congress?
00:39:39.000Well, you know, I've got a whiteboard in my office.
00:39:42.000And on it, I have the top 10 things I promised.
00:41:13.000So tell us a little bit more just about the book, why you wrote it.
00:41:17.000Where can everyone go get a copy to check it out and learn a little bit more about the senator from Pennsylvania who's on our side of the fence?
00:43:00.000She talks about a certain Donald Trump, your father, who, when she was getting the tar knocked out of her and all these horrible insults, pulled her aside and said, you're beautiful.
00:43:22.000Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, one of the most prominent CEOs in the world, he talks about this manager at Microsoft that pulled him out of obscurity, saw something special in him.
00:46:18.000It surrounds a scandal, a cover-up, and medical malpractice.
00:46:22.000It's the true story of a medical terrorist, corporate healthcare greed, and a legal system plagued by corruption.
00:46:31.000Here to explain so much more about that is the lawyer at the center of the story, the author of The Butcher of Pakistan, my good friend, radio host, lawyer, Politician delving into it, Eric Dieters, man of all trades.
00:47:16.000I mean, that's in Kentucky, but you're right there on the border of Ohio.
00:47:19.000I mean, I guess a lot of the case that you're working on really took place in Ohio.
00:47:24.000So, Eric, tell us, what is the book The Butcher of Pakistan about?
00:47:30.000It sounds pretty gruesome, but it seems like it's a little bit more on our soil, not in Pakistan.
00:47:36.000Correct. What the tale is, Don, and thank you for giving me this opportunity on your platform, is Dr. Atik Durrani came to the Cincinnati area in the 2000s, and he becomes a doctor at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.
00:47:52.000And from 2005 through 2013, at nearly every single...
00:48:00.000Cincinnati Area Hospital, he performed unnecessary spine surgeries on unwitting victims, generally poor, including hundreds of children.
00:48:12.000And the punchline to it all, Don, is that the hospitals knew what was going on and let it happen because he was doing such high volume of surgeries.
00:48:40.000I found out by accident, Don, I had like seven or eight cases, and I do this press release and say, something's not right about this doc.
00:48:49.000And one of the few times the local news covered it, and it went out there, and the next thing you knew, We had 580 people that were victims of this guy.
00:48:59.000So that's the base point is what he did and what the hospitals looked the other way.
00:49:06.000It is exhibit A of what's wrong in this country with corporate health care.
00:49:10.000So what is the status of the legal battle for the victims of Dr. Durrani?
00:49:19.000Your father, your father, because of all the hell he's been through with the legal system, could really relate to this, and I know you can because you went through it.
00:49:27.000It has been, the massive cases were filed in 2013.
00:49:32.000The Ohio Supreme Court, which, by the way, Filled with Bushites.
00:49:37.000These aren't mega Republicans on the Ohio Supreme Court.
00:49:40.000We don't have mega Republicans in the Ohio State Legislature.
00:49:43.000There is a rule that the Ohio Supreme Court has that anybody who brings a case has three years from the time it's filed that it's supposed to be over.
00:49:53.000Out of the 580 cases, there's only a couple hundred of them that are final.
00:50:00.000So after 13 years of litigation, trying case after case after case, we're going to have another 10 years because the Ohio Supreme Court says, eh, we got that rule, but it's not going to apply to the Durrani victims.
00:50:27.000The health insurance industry owns the Ohio Supreme Court.
00:50:32.000We're talking about millions and millions.
00:50:34.000But get this, Berkshire Hathaway is the largest insurance company of, excuse me, not Berkshire Hathaway, Medical Protective is the largest insurer of doctors in the country.
00:50:45.000Wholly owned by Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett.
00:50:48.000There was a $40 million policy for the victims.
00:50:52.000The hospital settled back in 2018-2019.
00:50:55.000The Durrani victims would have averaged only $100,000 a person under this $40 million policy.
00:51:02.000Medical Protective has chosen not to make a single offer despite us winning $360 million in verdicts.
00:51:24.000So is it just that no one, like other than you, I guess, no one's willing to take them on, no one's willing to say this is BS, no one's willing to call it out, and just because of that, they can just be like, you know what, forget it.
00:51:32.000I know that insurance companies, you know, delay, delay, delay, don't pay.
00:51:38.000Right. That's what they're doing, Don.
00:51:42.000What it is is they chose, they're so mad about what's happened to them, they're getting sued, that medical protective, there's only one reason, evil, cruelty.
00:51:53.000They're saying, we're going to bankrupt Dieters, we'll have Dieters handle these cases all these years, and he'll run out of money.
00:52:01.000They were banking on me running out of funds, running out of...
00:52:06.000And we would never get to the finish line.
00:52:10.000And this is the big story right now, Don.
00:52:12.000Medical Protective claimed they were not going to pay these claims because after Durrani was indicted and he fled the country, that he wasn't cooperating.
00:52:25.000Durrani doesn't want to cooperate so we don't have to pay on the policy.
00:52:28.000We finally take Durrani's deposition by Zoom, like this in Pakistan, and why we're taking his deposition, that the call to prayers happens, his dog's barking.
00:52:39.000I mean, it's a crazy scene, and he admits.
00:52:42.000That he always wanted to defend the cases.
00:52:45.000So for five years, Medical Protective has lied about it.
00:52:49.000So now we have a, I'm not kidding you, it's a billion-dollar fraud case against Medical Protective for not paying these claims.
00:52:57.000Warren Buffett bragged he gave $5 billion away last year to charity, but he won't tell Medical Protective to pay these poor people $40 million.
00:53:12.000They feel like they can defend, delay, deny, and they thought they were going to, you know, bankrupt me, and I always find a way to keep this thing going.
00:53:20.000It costs me $2 billion a year, Don, to keep this litigation going, and I'm still going after 13 years.
00:53:59.000It's a sad thing because it happens, I'm sure, not just here, but all over the country in so many other fields.
00:54:04.000Right. One of the things, and I brought this to your attention, I remember down at your house one time, because I think it was a big issue when your dad was running against DeSantis because Florida passed tort reform.
00:54:18.000One of the things I like about your dad is he's the only Republican to ever run, because he's not an establishment, that never brought up the words, we need tort reform.
00:54:28.000And what goes on, Don, and it's the negative publicity out there in the news stations, but the hospitals and the insurance companies, they own the politicians, they own them, and they're big law firms, they own the media, so the media doesn't want to do anything.
00:54:47.000So these poor people and I get left out in the dark.
00:54:50.000So the only way we're going to get publicity for this to bring pressure on medical protective and to let the world know what terrible things that they're doing is through these platforms like with you.
00:55:01.000But it doesn't make sense except the cruelty of it all.
00:55:06.000They can get away with it, they think.
00:56:02.000They wanted to bring in somebody, a foreigner from Pakistan.
00:56:06.000And Children's Hospital, where this happened, is the so-called number one ranked hospital in the country.
00:56:13.000And right now, I got inside sources there.
00:56:16.000You're going to love this, because this is relevant to the day.
00:56:18.000A nurse told me that they are trying to get away from your dad's DEI requirements, that they're going to cut off funding, that they're trying to disguise it at Children's Hospital.
00:56:46.000Eric, what do you want everyone across America just to know about this story?
00:56:50.000I mean, I can't imagine this is the only one.
00:56:52.000What are the other consequences you faced for taking on this case and telling the story?
00:56:57.000And, you know, you know me well enough.
00:56:59.000I'm not always, you know, for the trial lawyer side, I'm usually not because they're usually trying to screw me or someone, you know, but when you have literally hundreds...
00:58:36.000And at the other end of the spectrum, you've got this defense delay and deny.
00:58:40.000And in the middle, you've got good old me who's like, wait a minute.
00:58:43.000I love my country and I would rather have...
00:58:47.000Donald Trump appointing Supreme Court justices that save our country than writing laws that are just going to protect, you know, they call them the whiplash case.
00:59:46.000And then I stood in front of this judge, and I called him evil for not giving these people for trial, and they threw me in jail for 15 days.
00:59:54.000I served eight days at the Hamilton County Justice Center.
00:59:59.000Listen, I hear you like model street right now.
01:00:01.000Are you really, if they haven't thrown you in jail for BS?
01:00:05.000But, Eric, you said Ohio requires every civil case to be over in three years.
01:00:10.000The proceedings have gone on for over a decade.
01:00:13.000I mean, do you not have, like, a claim against Ohio itself?
01:00:17.000I mean, you know, beyond the medical system, beyond the insurance companies, beyond the hospital, beyond the doctor, I mean, can't you force that?
01:00:24.000I don't understand how they can create an exception to their own written rules, but I guess it shouldn't surprise anyone.
01:01:39.000The 580 Durrani victims have been mistreated, not just by medical protective, not just by the healthcare system, but the entire Ohio legal system.
01:01:54.000The Ohio legislature voted 100% of the time, 100 of them voted, and DeWine, you know DeWine, DeWine signed the law that said that when a guy flees the country, it's not going to toll the statute of limitations.
01:02:09.000So the entire legislature in Ohio, Republicans and Democrats, and the governor, unanimously passed a law that could call it the Durrani Flight Act that says, if a doctor flees the country, too bad for the victims.
