My Billy Cunningham, the Great American. Welcome this glorious, wonderful Wednesday afternoon
in the tri States. And right now the Red Legs need some help.
They've won three games in the month of August. That's not good, coming
out a bad time. And allegedly they've got some relief. They got some
relief coming from Green and Lodolo later on and t J. Possibly, but
they can't score runs, which is a problem. And we'll see what occurs.
Action starts about five forty with Cleveland and they're off on Thursday, three
more with Toronto, etc. But until then, of course, the issues
continue to percolate about Joe Mixon and about Donald Trump and so much more.
And Mike Allen Junior, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Mike Allen
Junior. First of all, I talked to some of the individuals associated with
the defense and they're extremely pleased with the way things are turning out with Joe
Mixon because it appears as woman was a largely an instigation and what happened instead
of a victim, and that she was the one that pulled up alongside Joe
Mixon. She was the one that made the first verbal contact, according to
her statement, and then Joe Mixon had the gun and more or less brandished
at or showed it to her, said some things he shouldn't have said about
the police and blowing your face off, etc. But then she says,
go ahead and use it. And so can you tell the American people?
First of all, at one thirty today Joe Mixon allegedly is going to testify
on his own behalf, But can you tell the American people at this point
how the case looks from this perspective? Bill, I would totally agree with
you. Merlin Shiveredecker and Scott Croswell are unbelievable criminal defense attorneys and they're doing
a great job here. And to be frank, I think you know you
know this. There's not a whole lot of Perry Mason moments. That stuff's
for TV. But they have landed some serious blows here, the one being
the pulling a gun with his non dominant hand. You know, it's hard
for me to believe when you're caught up in the heat of a moment like
that that you're not going to use your dominant hand if you're pulling a weapon,
and the other thing you spoke about and this is aggravated menacing. You
know, they got to show some type of fear on the behalf of the
alleged victim. Here somebody who flips the bird at someone and then says,
if you're going to pull that gun, use it. It's very, very
hard for the state to make any sort of argument that that person isn't fear.
And I think the fact that this case was dismissed and then they were
charged later again that kind of messes with me a little bit in that the
only new evidence, it seems like was Garner to put that charge on him
again was a video that it just showed them sort of driving next to each
other. There's been no biball witnesses to this, there's been no gun found.
And again, one of the crucial elements of the act menacing charges is
that the offender is you know that they have to believe the offender is going
to cause serious physical arm and saying, hey, bullet shoot me. That
doesn't seem like you believe that you're about to be faced with serious physical harms.
So I have been I'll be honest with you, I didn't think it
was a very good case to begin with But but now you know I would
be And like I said, these two are very good lawyers, and they
know mister Mixon. I've never met the guy before, but I'm of the
opinion at this point I'm thinking, why even put them on. I mean,
this case has not been proved. There's litany of issues with it that
the defense has highlighted. So but they know what they're doing. I mean,
they know Joe Mixon better. And ultimately it could be Joe Mixon who
says, no, I don't like the way my name was tarnished during all
of this. You know, I'm gonna go up and tell my side of
the story. So I would guess that this is going to come back not
guilty. I don't know if it'll be today. I don't know if Judge
Bender will take it under advisement. But but yeah, this state has not
proved their case. Another important factor, I cannot imagine all of us have
been involved directly or indirectly as the perpetrator or the recipient of road rage.
It happens. I can recall a month ago, I shouldn't I kind of
rolled through a stop sign when I shouldn't have, and I didn't see a
card to my left, and I kind of went in front of him.
He got behind me, he started blowing the horn. What I did was
simply maintain my speed. I slowed down. I let him pass me.
He gave me the one finger salute. I didn't acknowledge it. I let
him go further up. Just go away. Anyone that's an adult simply avoids
that. You just don't know who's going to crawl out of that vehicle seat.
You don't know who that person is. And I simply let it go.
And in this case, she took a pick of the vehicle in front
of her so she would have the license plate number behind him, and then
she pulled alongside to instigate it. And I can't imagine a woman or a
man, or anybody saying to somebody with a gun looking down the barrel of
a gun, if you pull that thing out you wanted, you go ahead
and use it. I'm thinking, yeah, what, it's just preposterous.
And the other thing, it's your point about the picture of the vehicle and
the license plate. As you said, that happened before the alleged you know,
gun brandishing happened, So it says that I'm angry I'm either a you
know, I want to figure out who this person is. I'm gonna call
the police. I'm good. It was some sort of you know, I'm
something is about to happen. I think she actually said that I took the
picture because I felt like something was about to happen. Well, I mean
what happened. Was it after you took the picture you pulled up right next
to him and started yelling at him. I mean, so it's it's it's
very very hard to believe. And I and I feel bad for for the
Cincinnati Police Department here because it's, you know, they're in a position where
it's like, what do we do here, you know, and it's it's
okay, well we'll try and get more evidence. And it seems to me,
unless I'm missing something, the only new evidence that was garnered before that
that new charge in April was simply, you know, red light camera or
city cameras they call it, just showing them driving next to each other.
So I gotta be honest, I don't think that this is going to come
back guilty at all. And I think, you know, if it were
me, i'd say, Joe, you want to take the stand. That's
your choice. I think we got this thing. You know, this thing
pretty much won. But if you want to tell your story about what happened,
here be my guests. One other factory, which is I think important
to a judge's or a jury's mind, is that she immediately went to the
CPD substation there at the banks by the Holy Grail, because she had been
there before and she knew there was one there. And the police had the
pick of the car and the license plate, so they quickly knew or should
have known, it was a vehicle register to Joe Mixon. That that doesn't
mean necessarily he was driving it, but the description given by her to them
indicate it was probably Joe Mixon now that vehicle, and they knew that the
cop knew that he was going to Buffalo to play the Bills a football game,
and that car that in the lot for a day and a half,
for longer. And so the defense team is going to make the argument,
well the police is always good to put the police on trial instead of the
defendant. The police did not go to get a search warrant. They could
have proven there was a gun in that car. A municipal court judge is
always on duty, as you know, twenty four seven to get the search
warrant to go down there and get it. Now. If that had happened,
they could have proven yes or no if he had the gun. Now,
if the gun was found in the car in a Bengals facility, that
means Joe Mixon likely will never play football again in the NFL. But they
didn't do it. And so how critical is it that when you put the
police on trial that the police officer did not consider it serious enough to get
a search warrant. Wouldn't see. That's the thing is, I wouldn't call
it being critical of the police officers. I mean, here's what I would
say. And I've never been a police officer, but I have dealt with,
you know, things like aggravated menacing, you know, uh, civil
stalking, protection order, stuff like that, where you have these cases where
it's like, man, I don't really buy what they're saying, but I
have to go through the motions and I have to at least investigate the case.
But you know, obviously i'd be speculating trying to trying to figure out
what the police officer was thinking. But if I'm sitting there and I'm I'm
a police officer at the Central Business District. You know, they know what
aggravated menacing is. You're you're in your mind as a police officer, going
okay, what you know, what charge would I put on mister Mixon here,
you know, based on this conduct. And it's she's sitting there telling
the police officer I took this picture. I followed him. I told him
if he was gonna you know, if he was gonna pull it out,
use it, it would be very hard for me as a police officer to
go like, okay, well, you know if if if we're investigating an
aggravated menacing charge here, there's no real belief that you're going to be caused
serious physical harm by mister Mixon. So to me, again i'm speculating.
It tells me that maybe the police thought from go like, hey, you
know, I'm not sure this incredible. I'm not sure that this actually happened.
And if it didn't really happen, of course, there was a quick
filing of the charge. They wanted to take some time to get some video
from other parts of downtown and that would take several days or a few weeks.
So at this point we'll see what happens later this afternoon, and nonetheless
from Joe Mixon's perspective, Rocky Boyman told me that when you have a gun
in an NFL facility and you're a player, they throw not the book at
you, through the library at you. And so if Joe Mixon is found
guilty, I've aggriated menacing with the use of a firearm in his car going
to a Bengal facility. I don't think he rolled down the window and threw
the gun out between Third and Walnut and the stadium. I don't think that
means the gun was inside the stadium and was inside the stadium grounds for about
a day and a half. It looks as if Joe Mixon is done as
a football player. Yeah, and I'd be speculating on what the Browns would
do in that situation. But what I can say, and we've seen it
time and time again, they are an incredibly loyal family. We've seen them
give people chance after chance, but again, and I think this kind of
goes to the choice of a bench trial as well, and that you know,
you have the incident with his family and the shooting you know, over
at their house with the NERF guns and all that kind of stuff. And
to me, when it's let's have a bench trial, you know, you
don't want a jury to hear about something like that. And again the judge
can say to the jury, hey, you're not to consider any of this
extracurricular stuff. But you can't turn off human nature. You know, people
hear things and they think things. But as far as what the NFL does,
it would be difficult because again you know Roger Goodell and whether it's the
Bengals, I have no idea, you know who where a suspension would come
from or something like that. But you have stuff like the Shawn Watson and
these other players where there's no consistency to any of it. But in my
view, at least, I don't think mister Mixon needs to even worry about
that because I just see no way this comes back guilty. I just I
don't think the city has come even close to proving the case. Now.
Secondly, I'm watching some of the morning talk shows Mike Allen Jr. And
there is a rapper whose name I cannot pronounce, who's been on trial in
Atlanta, Fulton County for eight months and at this point they haven't picked a
jury. Yet there's nine other cohorts under the Rico Statute, and they have
the best criminal defense attorneys available in Atlanta, because these guys have lots of
jack, they have lots of the Great let Us of Salvation. And this
thing's been stretched out. It's taken nine months before this on pre trial motions
and now they're about eight to nine months in picking a jury on a RICO
violation. In Fulton County, we're a year and a half into the deal
and they think the trial is going to take another year. Compare and right
now Fulton County is under federal monitoring. They jail because I guess one inmate
was left alone for a couple of days and some mice and bugs at them,
and so there's parts of the body remaining in parts not the Atlanta is
a complete meltdown. They have backlogs you can't believe. And so Fani willis
the prosecutor. I won't call her the Melissa Powers of Fulton County, but
she is a female prosecutor. Has so many backlogs, so many murders,
so many rapes and robberies and drug dealing. Her office is overwhelmed. You
can't bring defendants to trial. So what she does in the middle of all
that is take thirty months, two and a half years or more to investigate
Donald Trump and his cohorts, and she's calling the executive branch of the federal
government an ongoing criminal enterprise. Your comments, it's I don't even know where
it began, first of all this stuff where she wants this done in six
months. I'm gonna be honest, and I try not to tear on other
attorneys, but I'm just gonna be blunt. It's getting really old seeing prosecutors
go out and say with a straight face that somehow, some way, speedy
trial rights are that of the government. That is preposterous. They belong to
one person and one person only. That's the defendant, and in this case,
that's Donald Trump. Secondly, the fact that she thinks it's even it's
somehow a remote possibility that nineteen defendants in a Rico case with all of these,
I mean, all of these different predicates. I think there's one hundred
and sixty one acts they're calling action further into that conspiracy. I've been trying
for the last twenty four hours to think of how to characterize that, how
nuts that is, I mean, she's got to be on LSD or something
because it's just even a case with four defendants like this is not going to
be hashed out in six months. So you know, we saw the leak
of the indictment on the website. That's another problem, I think, and
I think the defense is going to have an argument for e Most to dismiss
on that, but it just screams, get Donald Trump. And it's not
only that, but it's literally, i would say, completely impossible to try
this kind of case and have it, you know, wrapped up and done
in six months. It's just it's absolutely insane. Well, at this point,
this is about ninety one felonies against the guy. And one of the
acts were further inst of the conspiracy was a telephone call that Mark Meadows,
the chief of staff, made to a state representative in Georgia to get somebody's
telephone number. So it'd be like Tony Bender calling somebody, say can you
give me Mike Allen Junior's telephone number? Then uh, and then he's indicted
for calling to get a telephone number. That's one of the acts that is
ridiculous. Oh, it's preposter and some of them. You know, they're
like I said, there's one hundred and sixty one of them. A lot
of them are are like you said, making phone calls, tweeting things out.
And when I when I, for example, when I explained to my
clients, you know what what is a conspiracy and what's you know, an
act in furtherance? You know, given this example, it's like let's say,
hey, we're gonna go to Walmart and you want to you know,
buy some some you know, food or whatever. They'll it changes if it's
hey, you know we want to go rob a bank. I'm gonna go
to Walmart and buy you a gun to rob that bank. All of a
sudden, me buying that gun's criminal. We knew what the acts themselves were
in the indictment, you know, like I said, it was it was
you know, tweeting and making phone calls and essentially you know, saying,
hey, we want to make sure this is all above board. Now are
those acts going to be now criminalized, you know, again in furtherance of
a conspiracy? So I will say this, this better mean the end of
anybody ever challenging any election ever again, Republican or Democrat. And if this
is the way we're gonna do this. I look forward to the indictment of
Stacey Abrams in Georgia because to this day, Stacy Abrams still thinks she's the
governor, so anytime, well, I'm hoping, I'm hoping that based on
this, we will never see a bush begor, we will never see any
of the hanging chad stuff in Florida because this criminalizes that, and there's no
other way of getting around that. This criminalizes challenging elections. So maybe it'll
be a good thing. You know, well we won't have to secrough this
crap anymore. But but yeah, it's it's it's I gotta be honest.
It is ambitious, to say the least, to say that every single one
of these things are are acting further into of a conspiracy. Well, I'd
like to jump ahead about five years to see how all this turns out,
because this is amateur night. When you talk about how about Rob Sanders and
Kenton County and dieting Joe Biden, how about going after the chief of staff,
how about Melissa Powers going after maybe Stacey Abrahams, how about these are
not the roles of local county prosecutors to go after federal officials in the Oval
office committing acts that when they were committed, those who are doing these things
thought it was legitimate because they firmly believed the election was stolen. As a
concert wentz, We're gonna have local prosecutors who are a Republican and dieting Democrats.
And this is a bridge too far for me. I couldn't I couldn't
agree more with you. And now we're right back to the same issue.
And that's, you know, the stuff with Jack Smith, his indictment,
and the issue is, you know, what did Trump know and when did
he know it? The government's going to have to show it in this case
Georgia. You know, they're gonna have to show Trump knew for a fact
that he lost the election, and then he pursued a bunch of means to
overturn that election. And again, challenging and attempting to overturn an election that
you know you lost are very different things, you know what I mean.
There's a difference to me saying, hey, I don't think that this stuff
in George's above board, versus I know I lost in Georgia. Now let's
commit some fraud here and anybody who owns a television knows Donald Trump legitimately believes
he won Georgia. Mike Allen Junior, thank you very much. The apple
doesn't fall far from the trade from coming on the Phil Cunningham Show. We'll
see what happens in about an hour with Joe Mixon and more. Thank you,
Mike Allen Junior, Thank you very much. Always a pleasure, Bill,
Thanks for having me. Bless America. Let's continue with more news next
at Jerome of the Reds. Let's win one tonight on news radio seven hundred
WLW joint host Ted Rriss and the Cincinnati Bengals for Taste of the Bengals benefitting
the Free Store Food Bank, Wednesday, August thirty, from six thirty to
nine at Coming up later, we have a couple of state reps coming to
talk with you. One is a representative Adam Bird from New Richmond area,
and he's going to discuss issues happening in Columbus. Also later on as Stacy
Abrams, we'll be here to discuss some new doings in Columbus relative to going
to school. A couple of little issues, minor issues except when they hit
your family. I'm watching the other night there was a soccer player in Northern
Kentucky, look like a great teenage boy, great kid without previous history of
any type, simply dropped on the soccer field with sudden cardiac arrest as as
you have about five minutes to restart the heart. Five minutes and after that
there's either serious brain damage or death. And of course most schools do not
have a EDS. That's not part of the deal. And by the time
the life squad got to the field got him to the hospital, it was
too late. Ohio. And I pray to God Rob Sanders can quarterback this
in Northern Kentucky. To make sure that every grade school, middle school,
and high school and college NKU Xavier UC as available ae EDS and personnel that
knows how to use it, because you don't have time to be mumbling and
fumbling and stumbling through a package when you're sixteen year old son or daughter's heart
is stopped and they're dying right in front of you. Damarrow Hamlin would have
been dead almost anywhere except on the Bengals field for that Monday night football game
with the Bills. I'm gonna get VI a website and it's a it's an
easy one to write down that at least in the state of Ohio, there's
a program available for organizations, schools, employers to have a ed's training,
and I think the availability is to get a few of them. At Madeira
High School, for example, I know they have three, the middle school
has two, and Deer Park. I'm gonna check with Jay Phillips to see
what's happening there. And it's awful when something is preventable and it causes the
death of a son or a daughter. And the website to go to is
project Adam dot com, Project Adam dot com, And I'm gonna put down
on my Twitter account and get the word out so that young men and young
women playing sports who have sudden cardiac arrest, the probability of surviving it with
an AEED available and properly used is very, very very high. It's like
above ninety percent. And so why not. They're not that expensive compared to
human life, and they're about one to two thousand dollars. But the key
is to have them, and the key is to know how to use them
with multiple teachers and parents and athletic directors and coaches that know how to use
them. Sco what good is it If you don't know where it is and
it's underlock and keen, you can't open up the box. And once you
get it to the body that needs it, like life itself, no one
knows how to use it properly. Are you kidding me? And so in
today's world that should not happen, And it's it's unbelievable that we live in
such a way in an advanced age, but suddenly we live in a world
that is preventable for human life being taken, especially if it's a sixteen year
old boy or girl playing soccer or football and they have this happen. There's
three reasons that happens. A structural problem, an electrical problem, or a
situation. Damar Hamlin had a situation which is a blow to the heart,
which can happen almost in any sport. How about a baseball throne that hits
the chest, not hold baseball. If moms and dad's would have them in
their cars with you, and it takes thirty minutes of training to know how
to properly use it, it could save your sound or daughter's life. And
buy one, get one, know how to use it, put it in
the trunk of your car and it can save your life or your or your
or your boy's life. So please once again Project Adam dot com. I'm
gonna have on later doctor Naomi Cortez, who's a pediatric cardiologist and Nationwide Children's
Hospital in Columbus. She's coming on later and Mike DeWine's office has set this
up because of what happened tomar Hamlin. I'm not sure more is happening.
Some say it's COVID related, packs of it related, vaccine related. I
do not know. I'm going to ask doctor Cortez that question. Is more
of it happening? Now? Are there more kids playing sports? But what's
the reason. According to one news account, there's two to four thousand who
die every year of sudden cardiac arrest, which is more than ninety percent of
the time preventable with the right personnel. The only reason tomar Hamlin lived is
where it took place, if they were in the air. I think now
airlines have to have it, but I'm not sure. But Project Adam dot
com go to the website as a parent if you're involved. I coached Naho
baseball for so long and played it and the youth sports at St. Gertrude's
for so long, and at no point did we consider to have an AED.
I'm not sure they existed at that point, but now they do.
And now it's time for you to get involved as a parent, as a
mom, or and dad. Buy an AED, put it, know how
to use it, put it in your trunk, and when something horrible occurs.
Your car is almost always with you for sporting events, right, and
you can run out to the trunk of your car, open it up,
and if you know how to use it, don't spend the time, take
thirty minutes to operate it and save your son, or save your daughter's life,
or save your life, or your husband's life, or your next door
neighbor. Think about that. It's preventable. Get it done. Off my
soapbox. Project Adam dot Com coming up later. Mike Allen Jr. Oh
kind of touched on the I'm watching more about Fannie Willis. Of course,
we know nothing about her. She was funded by George Soros to get elected,
and she has a criminal justice system in Atlanta that is largely melting down.
The Feds are looking at the Fulton County jail that had an inmate that
died and bugs and vermin eight part of his body while he was dead.
It's under federal supervision. There's more crimes in Atlanta, in Fulton County than
there are prosecutors to handle it. Rapes and robberies and drug deals. Buckhead,
which is a nice section, a nice part of Atlanta, part of
the city of Atlanta, wants to leave because there's so little police protection.
About twenty percent of the cops have left. They can't take it anymore.
It's like Cincinnati, Washington. Cincinnati's not there yet, but we'll get there
if we stay on the same path. Washington, DC. One third of
the cops have left. Chicago twenty eight percent of left. New York City
twenty percent of left. I see Minnesota towns. Small towns had five cops.
They were poached by medium sized cities and they left. When I talked
to the sergeant Dan Hills of CPD, he tells me the cops are being
poached to leave, to go to Indian Hill and become a ranger. They
go to Boone County in Florida. They're poaching NYPD cops to come to Florida.
They're accepting the certification. North Dakota's doing a great job. In other
words, cops in the major cities, we are saying we can't take it
anymore. We have no respect. It's constant double time and trouple time work.
We're getting kicked. We have prosecutors that don't support us, and lawmakers.
Black Lives Matter only cares when a black life can be monetized. When
a black life cannot be monetized, black Lives Matter doesn't care. And so
he points out, and I now know that to be the fact. I
don't pay much attention to Atlanta, although I have a couple of radio stations
there, and I'm sure I have hundreds of listeners and a listening right now.
But nonetheless GST for example. But nonetheless there is a meltdown and trying
to get a trial in Fulton County because they don't have the courtrooms, don't
have the bailiffs, don't have the clerks, don't know the personnel, and
jurors do not want to serve in downtown Atlanta. It's too dangerous to go
there. There is a RICO racketeering influenced corrupt organization trial happening with a rapper
with nine defendants. The alleged crimes took place three years ago. They started
the trial nine months ago with nine defendants in Fulton County and it's complete,
utter chaos. Jurors do not want to come, Jurors at our schedule to
arrive, I have their cars broken into, and at this point this is
unbelievable. I've tried one hundred jury trials in Hamley County and I would say
picking a jury tends to take about a morning two to three hours. If
it's a big case, it might take a day or two and that's it.
Well, after eight months in Fulton County under Fannie Willis, eight months,
they're still picking a jury because they can find jurors who can serve or
want to serve, or jurors that don't unqualified. They can't get a jury
in Fulton County slash Atlanta because of chaos. So in that environment, it's
best to avoid the obvious problems in Atlanta and to come up with somebody to
beat up on politically popular whose name is Donald Trump. So for the last
two and a half years plus, Fannie Willis, the George Sorrow selected prosecute
tricks in Fulton County has launched a full scale investigation involving one hundred and sixty
one different acts comprising forty one and felonies, declaring the President of the United
States executive branch of federal government in Washington to be a corrupt criminal operation.
That's the heart and soul of what we're discussing here, a corrupt criminal organization.
That statute is reserved for biker gangs or the mafia, or rap artists
that are dealing in with heroin and fentanyl and large numbers of people are involved.
It doesn't deal with a local prosecutor named Fanny Willis who is wasting her
time on a case that's going to take tens of thousands of hours, costing
the taxpayers tens of millions of dollars that will never come to a good conclusion
when the Feds already have jurisdiction and they're pending indictments anyway. So, assuming
you're in the anti Trump camp, Jack Smith has filed a four count federal
indictment against Donald Trump for corrupt practices during the twenty sixteen I'm sorry, the
twenty twenty election. It's already covered. But having launched for thirty months and
this investigation having ignored the folks of Atlanta and Fulton County that have personal crimes
committed against them every day, having in the incapability of selecting jurors to serve
nine months. Not yet. They don't have a jury yet. It would
take years and years to try nineteen criminal defendants, even if you get over
all the procedural hurdles and humps of a lack of jurisdiction to bring this case
to trial. Can you find a jury in Fulton County that would serve?
Some of the experts I listened to this morning said no, you won't be
able to find a jury. And she stood up there in time time at
eleven thirty five PM a couple of nights ago, and said, yes,
we're gonna go to try within six months. Don't have the lawyers. You'd
have to have the Georgia Dome. These nineteen criminal defendants are going to have
fifty to sixty lawyers and pairalegals. They're gonna have a hundred people involved in
the defense. Can you imagine the vais deer the selection of the jury process.
It's taken eight to nine months to get a jury for a rapper and
still don't have it. This is unbelievable. It's already covered by whatever Jack
Smith wants to do. Well. I don't know what to say except we
live in an era of complete and utter chaos that doesn't have a resolution other
than electing Donald Trump back to the presidency to stop the federal madness and the
state madness. Because you can't have the president of the United States in trial
in Atlanta or New York City. The Feds would step in in federal courts
would say you can't do that because there is something called the Presidential Immunity Act.
By that, I mean if the president acts under the color of federal
law, presuming to be doing his job and his duty, he's exempt from
criminal or civil lawsuits. Otherwise we'd have every president suit every day for every
decision he makes. The president has immunity. Now, that doesn't mean the
president can take a gun and go into a fifth third bank and rob it.
It doesn't mean that at all. He goes out's outside the cloak of
his authority. But while sitting in the Oval office doing his job, if
he tells his chiefestaff like I'll tell the segment you see, if you can
get me this number, and the segment calls somebody. That doesn't mean the
segment's committed a felony. This idiotic prosecutor has said that if Mark Meadows was
told by Donald Trump to get me the phone number of a state representative in
Georgia, that that is a felony and further into the conspiracy. Are you
kidding me? Adults have got to step in. We're in meltdown in the
urban areas and a prosecutor somewhat new to the gig, completely overwhelmed by the
work she has to do, put there by George Soros wants to make a
name for herself by bringing Donald Trump, Mark Meadows, and Rudolph Juliani and
seventeen others to heal. And I pray to God it doesn't begin the process
of local prosecutors here following criminal charges against Joe Biden or against his chief of
staff and tying that the Democrats, the liberals, the excessive liberals, have
now crossed the rubicon with the Army of Rome, and we can't come back
from this moment. It is awful. Let's continue. Coming up after one
o'clock today will be State Rep. Adam Bird about what you can do if
your kids not being properly educated once again. Project Adam dot com as the

school, at work, or whatever, and access them how to use them

On Notre two. They're a game and a half behind the Miami Marlins.
So we'll see what happens for the wildcard. But until then, property taxes
are skyrocketing. Some areas, like Butler County, has had a thirty five
percent increases that mean you pay thirty five percent more. School is starting everywhere,
and the state legislatures have passed a new law in Ohio that allows most
parents to send their kids to a private school. That would mean a Catholic
school. It used to be you had to be in a failing school district,
Now not so much anymore. Plus politics, politics, politics, and
more. Joining you and I now is Representative Adam Bird from Claremont County and
Brown County and Representative Bird. Are you related first of all to Larry Bird?
Like to think so, Billy. It's great to be on your show
today. And yeah, I'd like to tell people I'm related to Larry.
Not sure that it's true or not, though I tell him I'm related to
Billy Cunningham. It could jump like crazy White Man can't jump, but Billy
Cunningham could jump. But that's a different issue. First of all, let's
get your take on what's happening politically. You may I view yourself as such,
but you're viewed by some as like a politician, and so once again
the Trumpster has been indicted. I think the count now is up to ninety
one counts of felonies, which carry fourteen thousand years in jail. I'm not
sure he can do them all. Before we talk about fouchers and property taxes
and all that interesting stuff. What's your view and what Joe Biden, what
the Democrats are doing to Donald John Trump. Well, obviously they're trying to
take him out, but I think it's a little bit worse than that.
I think we're trying to indite him because they want to build up his base
of support. They want to make sure that he's the Republican nominee because they
see him more vulnerable candidate one on one versus Biden than Ron de Santis.
Ron DeSantis is a guy that obviously is America's best governor and he is getting
it done in the state of Florida, and they want him. I think
Biden's afraid of De Santis. He does not want to see desantispe the nominee,
and so they're going after Trump to try to help him with his base.
Well, and you know, Tony Benner, my great producer relates to
me that the more of these indictments happen, the more likely it is the
Republicans are going to have Trump as the nominee, and the more likely he's
going to lose. Now, I say, be careful for what you wish,
because if the economy continues to get bad, suburban nights not rule folks
so much. I think they're they understand Donald Trump, but suburban nights who
live in Montgomery and live in Madeira and live in Green Township a lot,
especially women, don't want the chaos. And at some point when I did
a poll yesterday before I get to the subject matter among my listeners, and
of course my listeners represent the American people, and we had eight not guilty,
and we have five guilty, and so we had a circumstance of a
hung jury. And so the Democrats are banking on the fact with all these
indictments, and we're gonna be asked to vote for someone who's on there a
ninety one count federal and state indictments out on bond. That guy's name is
Donald Trump. On the other hand, we could vote for someone who's mentally
vacant, who's a crook, and accepts bags of cash from Russians and Chinese.
That's one hell of a selection to make. Of course, I'm going
to be in the Donald Trump camp unless something dramatic comes out. But the
folks in Claremont County and Brown County are not like the folks in Madeira and
Blue Ash, not like the folks in Green Township. It goes, you're
God's people. You're out there, your farmers and your truckers, and you
work hard, work smart, You work with your hands, sometimes with your
head. And to me, I think your point's a great one that the
Democrats all work in unison. You don't need direct orders from one to an.
They just know what to do. And so in Fulton County I saw
this morning and some of the talk shows. I'm kind of getting off point,
but I normally do. There's a group of rappers with nine criminal defendants
in trial right now under the Rico statue, with Fannie Willis trying the case
or assistance or drying it. And they're in the ninth month of jury selection.
They can't find a jury in Atlanta to even begin hearing the case.
And they say the case is going to take maybe a year and I'm thinking,
wait a minute, we don't have a year, we don't have two
years. This case won't even start for god knows how long. It's just
keeping it dangling out there about resolving anything. And that's not good for the
American people. My goodness, the damage that the Biden administration has done to
this country. No, it is out of control. When you think about
the energy production in our lack thereof, when you think about the supply chain,
the way it's been affected, when you think about the way that inflation
has occurred, in the impact that that's had on retirees and all kinds of
people are young people can't buy a house anymore. Inflationary pressure that the Biden
administer conference has got to disqualify him from a second term, got to And
it's a choice. And if you're a normal person and you don't spend.
I have so many of my buddies Representative Oldenburgh that tell me they quit paying
attention to politics. They can't take it anymore. They don't want to listen
when it comes on, they turn it off. People are turned off,
and that means elly, the activists are going to vote. That's a problem.
Let's talk about property taxes. There's there was a headline in the AP
I don't know about about Claremont County, in Brown County, but in Butler
County there's a thirty five percent increase in evaluation. Explain why that's happening at
the state level and does that mean you pay thirty five percent more? Part
A, Part B go great question, Billy, And you know Claremont County
where I reside is the high is Butler County high. But our property values
are increasing three three percent, Billy, And Clairemont tom is outrageous and staying
And the reason why is because tax Commissioner and Columbus has decided to take a
one year average of property tax change versus a three year average. Claremont County's
reappraisal three year reappraisal has always been on a three year average and a three
year average, Billy. If they would have used that, it would only
be twenty three percent. Now, twenty three percent sounds a lot better than
forty three, but twenty three that's even crazy compared to the rate of inflation
in America. So Claremont County ins are really going to be hammered with a
forty three percent entry something we can do about that. Right now, I
have a bill with a representative from Butler County, Thomas Hall, Representative Thomas
Hall, House one one eighty seven, which is a bill that would require
the Tax Commissioner three year average when doing this and when when reevaluating the property
values in our counties, and and so you know that that has got to
happen. It's slowly right now. I believe the state sellers. We've got
some influential members in this in the House that are opposing it. It's probably
got not going to want to mean to relief to Claremont County and in other
counties across across our state, but it's got to. It's got to happen
now. That doesn't just because property values are going on forty it doesn't mean
that your property tax is going to go up forty three percent, but it'll
still go up higher than it should well. And the other issue is this,
everyone in this climate would love to sell their house at some exorbitant price.
For the problem is you can't live in stasis for the rest of your
life. You got to buy something else. And there's something else also is
going up in value. The forty three percent doesn't mean your bills go up
forty three percent, but it's going to go up significantly because as evaluation go
up, the village goes down. So you might be paying twenty or twenty
five percent more instead of forty three percent. That doesn't mean thank you,
sir. May have another that's a problem. And so there's you're saying,
there's no law right now that says to the tax commissioner, you've got the
average three years. She just decided to make it one and sticking to the
taxpayer. Is that what you're saying. That is exactly what I'm saying,
Billy. We need a law that requires them to use the three year average,
and right now that does not exist in the state of Ohio. I've
got a lot of support in the center for this. It's had a couple
of hearings and the House Waves and Mains Committee, and it had some good
movement, but it's not going to make it quick enough to bring relief for
o Islands. And you know, when you think about an average, just
because a couple of streets on a couple of houses on my street have gone
up in value because they've been sold, that doesn't mean that my house has
gone up like that. Maybe I haven't been able to renovate the inside.
I've not been able to redo some things updated. And that does not mean
that my house has gone up that kind of in that kind of way.
But that's exactly what's going to happen in Claremont County into your very soon.
Well that's sad. Now. Second, late school is starting almost everywhere.
I can't believe it. Used to be in the good old days when men
were men, you started school after a labor day, but not anymore.
Now you're starting sometime in August, god knows why. And you A voucher
bill has passed, which I don't think American parents understand. But essentially,
if your kids in any public school, you can apply receive a rather generous
amount of money to go to a private school. Whether your school is functioning
or not. I can see it. When it comes to dysfunctional schools like
CPS, you want to get out. But this bill encompasses all the schools.
Please explain the bill of the American people. Sure. Well, what
this part of the budget says is that if you as a family are four
hundred and fifty percent of poverty or lower, you're going to qualify for a
voucher that's about sixty one one hundred dollars that you can use to go to
the school of your choice. And you know this is there's a lot of
public school teachers and administrators that are getting it done and working hard. And
I don't want to take anything away from the hard work that public schools public
schools are doing. But but you know when I became in favor of this,
when a couple of years ago, the unions you remember during COVID teacher
unions went to Governor Dwine and said, hey, put us at the front
of the vaccine line, and if you do that, put us ahead of
the fifty year olds and sixty year olds, and if you do that,
we'll go back to work. Well, Governor Dwine and good conscience did that.
He had put He allowed teachers to get the vaccine before others. And
then once that happened, they would not go to work and kids in urban
settings were denied in education by teacher unions. And when that happened, I
became a fan of vouchers because we got to protect kids. But it's not
just about that. If you're going to force my child into arrest group with
somebody with my daughter into a boys restroom with boys in it. That kind
of problem with that. If you're going to ask my child what their pronouns
are on the first day of school, I've got a problem with that.
If you're going to compel students to affirm a certain ideology or belief, I've
got a problem with that. And if you're going to compel students to room
together a dand camp, whether the boys or girls, because you don't want
to think somebody who who thinks that they're transitioning, I got a problem with
that. And when you have that kind of situation, we've got to provide
relief to parents and allow them a different educational environment for their students. You
know, there might be an argument about that in Claremont County, or in
Boone County, or in Butler County. But when I see reporting out of
Medesto, California, for example, that any parent that takes your position or
my position on the transitioning and transgender issue, you're a found you find yourself
in a situation where the State of California may attempt to take your children away
from you because you're a bad parent. That somehow if you object to a
third grade or being told about oral sex, that somehow, if you object
to that, Adam Bird, the problem is yours. That you're the guy
who has to understand this is the new way, and that you are contributing
to the delinquency of a minor if you object as a parent, and they'll
take you to juvenile court in order to put you through a reindoctrination camp.
That your eight year old girls got to know about oral sex. That is
so outrageous that we if that happens, I'm moving to Madagascar and I'm start
breeding Komodo dragons because I will not live in a world in which that happens.
And I will completely get out and do whatever I can. If I'm
a father of a boy or a girl being preached to about sex when they're
eight or nine years old, do you want to live in modesto California?
Oh my goodness, boy, that it's like start it out ages and we're
not gonna. I don't believe we're going to allow that. In Ohio,
And in fact, a couple of a month or so ago, we passed
a parent Bill of Rights out of the Ohio House and I'm chairman of the
Education Committee, so I was very closely involved in the going through the committee
process, and the parent Bill of Rights that we passed here in Ohio said
that if you're going to teach sexually explicit material to my child, I have
a right to know about it, and I have a right to ask my
child to be excluded from that conversation. It also said that if you're going
to talk to my child about gender dysploria issues in the counselor's office, you've
got to let me know. As a parent, I have a right to
know if my child has gender dysploria issues. And if you're going to call
my son Susie when they get to school, I have a right to know
about that. And so you know, we cannot allow the TRANSCLT to get
in control. We cannot allow them to groom our children down this path.
Well, good luck to you. I can't imagine what the world's gonna look
like in twenty years, But all right, Representative Adam Bird, thank you,
and that hearing on the Tax Commissioner is very important, and we'll see
what happens with your parent Bill of Rights, which is required. I don't
know how this will be received in Columbus public schools or in Dayton public schools,
but I know in Claremontain Brown County it'll be extremely popular. Once again,
Adam Bird, State Representative, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham
Show, and with your permission, will do it again. Thank you,
Representative. I am so grateful to be on your show. You are a
great American, and you know what, I'm looking forward to watching the Bengals
get it done this year. With Joe Burrow at the helm, I think
he's going to make it happen for Cincinnati. We need it, man,
we need it bad. The Reds look like they're fading, and we've got
to quit the fade and start winning some baseball games. Adam, thank you
very much. Thank you, Billy, appreciate you having me on yourself.
God bless you. Let's continue with more, and in many parts of our
country there's no debate on those issues. By the way, you'd simply in
some blue cities and blue states, if you object to your child being indoctrinated
with the liberal and other sexual matters inappropriate to their age, that you're the
one that has a problem, not the teaching system. Let's continue with more.

and I'm broadcasting and say. It began with Biden saying I have nothing to
do with my son's businesses right now, when that was proven to be a
lie, he said, I my son never made any money out of China.
That that proved to be a lie. Yeah, my son never took
millions of dollars from Varisma. That turned out to be a lie. Now
Biden is saying, well, my son's a crackhead Leah alone, Well,
that's fine. Many people I know many and you know many that have alcohol

getting ready to go to tennis, you're taking a helicopter or taking your entourage
with you. I'm gonna drive out in my little suv all by my lonesome
John. I was out there this morning. It's it's beautiful. It's wonderful.
The flowers are beautiful, the tennis is at action is beautiful. The
people are out there. It was packed this afternoon this morning when I was
out there ready to go, it's all good. Yes, Now, what
can you tell me? Let's get down to the facts. Are you confident
or not confident? Are you happy or sad or somewhere in between about keeping
your tournament where it belongs in Mason. I'm very hopeful. I'm very hopeful.
I think the guys who bought the tournament had been pleasantly surprised by the
success of it, by the flavor of it, by the wide range of
people who come. And remember, the tournament is about promoting tennis, and
this is it in the Midwest. There's no question that it's like having an
All Star Game like seven or eight days in a row exactly. And in
two years, Willie goes to two weeks, two weeks, having an All
Star Game for fourteen days in a row, and that field will be double
the size. When I spoke to Commissioner David Young, who I think he
put it on the Richter scale at six point five out of ten and keeping
it because Ben Navarro, who, as you know's daughter is the tennis partner
of Peyton Stearns, and she's politicking right now. And he said last night.
She actually didn't she she lost last night, but she won the NCUBA
championship last year. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.
So you're going up and what about the Joker? You like to have
Alcatraz against the Joker in the finals. Wouldn't that be the best? Yeah?
And who gets a Rookwood Trophy? Then both of them, they're just
different sizes. You got that. That's right, that's true. You're prob
a different color. But nonetheless and so great. You know. The thing
you have to think about Ben Navarro, be Mark is like a businessman like
you are, and at some point you want to spend money on things that
you like to do and be involved in. But on the other hand,
reality hits How many hundreds of millions of dollars would he saved if it stayed
here in Mason as supposed going to Charlotte. It'd be a big I think
it'd be a big number. But also in Charlotte, he's going to get
forty acres. Here he starts with ninety, and we think it's possible to
add another twenty to twenty five to it from people willing to sell to him
with property to de that's it. So I mean, this is gonna be
a year round facility. It's one thing he's gonna do. Or I think
that makes a lot of sense. If you had a big pal wow,
the shakers and movers, the creme, the creme, the captains of industry.
Have you gotten Procter and god Kroger, Western and Southern, fifth third
Bank, Sintas at all, all you boys singing out of the same hymn
book. We are, we are we Sintos right down the street from him,
Sintos right there, right there, right there, right there, don't
have to go too far. And where is Sintos anyway? Where is it
right next door to you? I've hit a few balls off number fourteen and
hit Sintas. Don't tell Scott Farmer that. And when's the decision? Unlike
many things in life, this decision has got to be made within the next
thirty days. Is that true. I'd say thirty to sixty. And you're
cautiously optimistic. I am cautiously optimistic. And I like the guys. I
like the guys from Bemonk, I really do. And I think I think
since that he has played very, very well and impressed them. I really
do. Can you put some of some of your money with b Mark.
You might want to say, hey, there, Ben, I'll give you
a few bucks and make a few deposits in the accounts. He's a banker,
he's from Indiana. He's a Midwest kind of a guy. And across
Dad that's right, and you look across the street there's King's Island and tell
colins Worth to get him some ticket football tickets. What about collins Worth?
Yea, you get Chris involved in this. Everybody's involved. Actually, last
night we have a sweet down at the red Stadium, and they took a
bunch of the tennis players down to watch your Reds play last night. They
didn't see much of a game. I'll say that, boy, how about
taking him tonight? Tonight they're gonna win ter last night actually did reasonably well,
Graham Ashcraft. Yeah, it's good. I mean, couldn't hit the
damn ball worth her. No, didn't. They didn't support him. No
question. Who's the greatest tennis male tennis player you've seen in your life?
And your choices are Federer, Nadal, Djokovic? Which one in a match
would you say would win all? Probably bet on the Joker. The Joker
is wild, no question. How about how about female? Did you see
probably Serena. Did you see last night's or today's comments about the Joker warming
up yesterday? No? Yeah, three four thousand people in the stands watching
them going crazy. Yeah. If the US Open they got you know,
arbor vity around the place, you can't see anybody in. They kind of
like rush you in and rush you out of practice courts here. You're part
of the deal. The players love it. They love it. Did Ben
Navarro see that with his own eyeballs? That? I don't know, But
you'll send him a video, I'm sure. Yeah, Well, we'll talk
to her. He right. No, I think I honestly believe that what
Ben Navarro is witnessing is all good for our tournament. Absolutely see it.
It's one thing to talk about it. You know, you see a lot
better than you hear, and when you see it, you're thinking, oh
my gosh, oy, dont want to reinvent the wheel. He's going to
have lawsuits, He's going to have zoning issues, he's going to have environmental
studies. Nobody likes development in certain areas. Charlotte is going to be some
of the green activists are going to get involved. He's got nothing but headaches,
my grand headaches. In fact, he has clustered my grand headaches by
going to Charlotte. If you come here, you got everybody's singing out of
the same hymn book. You have lots of money to support. How important
are the fifteen hundred volunteers? Huge? Huge, And these guys come from
all over to take a week of vacation and they come here to work this
tournament. And that is not lost on Ben or his people. His Ben's
guys are very impressive as his Ben. They're smart and they're analyzing all this
stuff. There was a bit of a hometown push. A couple of this
guys might have come from like b of A. But I think that the
the question is can you recreate this somewhere else? And I'm not so sure
you can. Yeah, I get it. With John, you have our
hope and you have the hopes and dreams of the American people resting on your
shoulders to keep the tournament. I want to make clear that Western Southern did
not sell the tournament or we never owned it. The United States Tennis Association
owned it, and unfortunately they got way over their skis with their renovations at
the US Open. Then they had two years of no income with COVID and
so they had they had to raise money, and selling the tournament for you
know, around three hundred million is one way of doing it, right.
Yeah, the three hundred million here and then the Madrid was three hundred million.
That's six hundred million to cover the COVID problems the USTA and all of
a sudden we're in the large. But this may turn out for the better.
Keep the tournament. I think you're going to put up like fifty two
hundred million. He's gonna put up about one hundred, one hundred and fifty
million. It's gonna be pickleball. Going to be crazy, Yeah, and
uh it should everybody. I will tell you the Cincinnati companies have all stood
up and said count me in on the next next step. So I mean
might tip my hat to send us krog Or Proctor. They're all in,
and I think, great American, I think I think it's very hard to
overlook when you're finally making the decision because the USTA never approached those guys for

Bad of the Bowl. By Billy Cunningham to Great America. Let's continue.
We never stopped. We simply continue. Several weeks ago, the Sheriff
Richard K. Jones organized a little bit of a get together of local lawmakers
and legislators to go to the southern border to talk about how Hamilton, Ohio
and Covington and Cincinnati and Green Township is at the center of human trafficking and
drug use and what's happening there and one of the contestants. One of the
attendees was Cindy Abrahams, a former police officer in the city of Cincinnati.
I'm glad she got out alive. Now a state representative for Western Hambleton County
and Cindy Aberns, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Before we talk
about that a little bit, John, you may not view yourself as a
politician because you've led a normal life, But nonetheless, what is your view
of a local prosecutor in diting at that point as sitting president of the United
States for criminal acts? For example, Let's say that our county prosecutor right
now is Melissa Powers, and she indicts President Joe Biden for wrongfully sending American
soldiers to fight and die in Afghanistan when he acted, in her view,
illegally, and that she indicts the president. She indicts the local prosecutor,
then indicts the chief of staff, indicts the attorneys working for the President United
States, then brings them to Hamlet, a County to be arraigned and maybe
locked in the Hamlet County jail. That is similar to Alfani Willis is doing
in Fulton County. What is your view of what happened with the indictment of
President and Trump for acts committed in office. Well, first of all,
thanks for having me on again. But every time I see something pop up
in my news feed or I click on you know, whatever news app by
I want to look at or even if the news is on. I just
keep shaking my head about this topic, and I keep saying, what on
earth I mean? It doesn't make any sense to me. I know,
every level of government has their own jurisdiction, right, and so that's kind
of high. I just keep shaking my head. It doesn't make any sense.
Well, you have Jack Smith, who is the US Attorney Special prosecutor
appointed by Joe Biden's Department of Justice. And this guy who's spent his life
in federal law. He's indicted President Trump in one case for four counts,
and then in the Marlago case, there's about three people indicted, and he
has surveillance tapes allegedly. He has the Secret Service to testify against President Trump.
He has the President Trump's own attorneys. They've pierced the attorney client privilege
in federal court to testify against Trump. And it's a case involving activities committed
after he left office. And now this is completely different, in which the
president is sitting in and around the Oval office, executing the laws of this
country, believing in his heart of hearts that something wrong took place. It's
his job as the president to make sure that federal elections are conducted the proper
way. He might have been wrong, they might have acted improperly. But
to have a local criminal prosecutor in the city of Atlanta while forty one counts
of felony charges against then a sitting president is really unbelievable. But nonetheless,
Cindy Abrams, let's talk about first of all, human trafficking and Fentnyl explained
what happened when the sheriff of Butler County got a hold of you and said,
you're an up and coming lawmaker, let's go to the southern border.
What did you observe? Well, we went down there and we met.
We were down in coach Ease County. We met with Sheriff Dennell's and his
team. And whatever you have heard about the border, have looked on the
media, whatever you whatever news ali you watch, whatever you think you know
about the border, it is a thousand times worse. The cartels number one
are absolutely a terrorist organization. They have no regard for human life. Everything
we witnessed with our own two eyes, I mean you know, they took
us up on top of a mountain and we literally watched the cartel loading up
these criminals with backpacks of as much fentanyl, meth and cocaine as they can
carry, arming them and dressing them in full camo, coming right across our
border. There's no wall where we were, there's no barbed wire. They
are coming right in. And these are not people. You know, this
is not about immigration, Okay, that's a whole nother topic. These are
not about the people that want to come here to the greatest country on Earth,
do better for themselves, start a family, you know, get an
education, whatnot. These are criminals and they are coming over the border all
day, every day, and they're coming to different regions in this country.
And it's a very much organized operation. So for example, what do they
do with these armed backpack full of dope carrying, you know, full camel
wearing people. They then the cartels then recruit Americans to come and drive down
to the southern border along you know, a desert roadway. They give them
GPS coordinates, they show up, they blow their horn three times and these
yahoos come out of the out of the brush and they get into their vehicle.
They then take them traffick them up to Phoenix where they're deployed to every
city in the nation where they literally have a cell phone full of addicts.
So you have your customer base right there. They show up here in Cincinnati,
they start making phone calls and it is I'm telling you, it's the
craziest thing I've ever seen. And so again, every States of Border state,
the law enforcement down there. We met with Border Patrol, the local
sheriff's department, the prosecutor's office. They literally all looked at me and said,
if you don't think every States of Border state, you are sadly mistaken.
One hundred and fifty thousand Americans will be killed this year overdosing on heroin
and fentanyl. There'll be millions and millions of Americans using these drugs. And
when I hear the argument, well, you got Governor Abbot of Texas wants
to put this plastic device in the middle of the Rio Grand River. So
what, Sidney Abrams, You're saying, So what go a couple hundred miles
to the west. There is no fence, there are there are no borders
whatsoever. And you watch that happening. Are we powerless to stop that?
No? I don't think we are. But of course, at the state
level. Again, going back to our previous conversation, each of us has
a jurisdiction at the state level. You know, we can't say, Okay,
we're going to send everybody down to our you know, our military to
the I mean we can the governor can send the National Guarden that, but
it needs to come from a federal level. They need to secure the southern
border. Listen, we can't leave this country right now and go anywhere.
We can't go to Canada, we can't go over across the pond. We
can't go to Mexico without showing who we are, where we're going, how
long we're staying, if we have any fruit in our suitcake. I mean,
you have to answer all these I mean, I'm serious, you have
to do that. I'm laughing, but it's actually true. I mean,
anybody who's left the country knows all the hoops you have to jump through.
It should be the same for America. That's what I'm saying. And so
here we are. So we were down there again, learned a lot.
And on the way home, you know, Sheriff Jones and I were talking
and he said, what are you going to do about it? Now?
You know, because obviously, I'm a lawmaker and the chair of Criminal Justice
Committee. So I thought about it. And you know, the state of
Ohio pours millions of dollars into treatment programs. Okay, once you're addicted,
we help those addicted. You know again, millions of dollars, that's set
up. We send spend millions of dollars on re entry programs. Okay,
fine, again, we need to help you come out of prison and make
a productive, you know, law abiding life for yourself. Great, but
you know what, but here's the thing. Here we are and it just
seems this heroin and now fentanyl and cocaine and meth and everything else, it
just seems like we've kind of gotten away from Look, they knowingly trafficked these
drugs. They know, damn well that is fentanyl. When they sell that
pill that looks exactly like adderall or exactly like xanex to some young person and
they kill them, they know damn well what they're doing. So I say,
this bill, the Saving Ohio's Ohio Communities Act, House Bill two thirty,
is going to ramp up penalties for drug trafficking and cocaine fentanyl related compounds,
heroin and mess we're also going to keep human trafficking as a felony of
the first degree, but we're going to expand the definition by basically saying,
look, we're going to target the drug traffickers that literally recruit these humans and
traffick them to basically traffick their drugs all over the state. And when you
hide from the police and hide these people from the police, I mean,
I have a press release here from our state patrol. On March thirteenth of
this year, they end up catching pulling over Toyota Sienna on the Ohio Turnpike
for a cracked windshield. They got eleven illegals in there in the whole nine
yards. So listen that people say, oh, this isn't happening in Ohio,
Yes it is. And if you don't think it is, obviously you
must be living somewhere differently than where I'm living, because it's happening every single
day. Speaking of the patrol, they sees in twenty twenty two, they
sees four hundred and ten pounds of fentanyl and up one hundred and sixty six
percent from twenty twenty one. It's here, folks, and it's killing our
people in Ohio. So again, one more thing about killing people. This
is my most favorite part of the whole bill. If you are the drug
dealer that sells that fentanyl related dope and you kill someone and the police can
trace back that you are the drug dealer, the person that sold that pill
or that cocaine lace with fentanyl, you will do time in prison to the
tune of five year specification period in addition to what the judge sentence to you.
So it's a five year speck for killing somebody. I'm tired of it.
Representative Cindy Abrams, you bring up the great point. It must be
stopped at the border, because once it gets into Phoenix and then dispersed all
over the country, then it's like chasing a thousand mice instead of the ship
they came in on. And we do not have a current political desire or
the administration to stop it at the border. Has it gotten worse in the
last three years? When you talked to those in Cochise County, there was
a sense that with the Trump in charge of the border, there was a
sense the border is shut down. What has changed the past three years.
I'm gonna give you a stats that came straight from Socis County Shares Department,
which they have about eighty three miles of border. Okay, this is just
in Cochise County. So again eighty three miles of border, specifically in the
month of January, and I'm going to give you a couple numbers of a
couple of different years they caught again Coachi's County, eighty three miles. In
twenty seventeen, they caught four hundred and thirty one buda's, you know,
undocumented aliens, that's what does what they call him in Arizona twenty seventeen,
four hundred thirty one udas. In twenty twenty two, again month of January,
we're comparing apples to apples, they caught sixty six thousand, six hundred
and twenty anyway, twenty seventeen, four hundred and thirty one, twenty twenty
two, sixty six thousand, So correct. It is so profitable that the
drug card tells the commonest red Chinese have put together the precursors of fentanyl,
and the drug war lords that control the border understand this is a multibillion dollar
business and it's been allowed to happen by Joe Biden, etc. And it's
gone from four hundred and thirty one to over sixty six thousand and one month.
Correct. Impossible, I mean, how do you catch sixty six thousand
people in one month in Coachy's County? How's that possible? Well, I'll
tell you it's kind of it's kind of brilliant what they've thought of. So
they're a you know, Biden cut the border patrol down from five hundred agents
to two hund The Coachy's County Sheriff's department has about one hundred deputies, so
obviously they're outnumbered. But what they've done is they've learned to work smarter,
not harder. And they've got a company right here from Ohio called Buckeye Cam
and they've literally created this camera system all throughout the border, through throughout the
desert. And I'll tell you right now you would know the camera when you
looked at it looks like yeah, different, you know, landscape out in
the desert. That's all I'll say. But I will say this is clear.
So when they get a hit, the people are coming over it,
they just go directly to that area. And those the mules that are transporting
this stuff and their backpacks, they're almost victims also because they either do it
or else they get killed, their family gets killed, and you owe the
money. If you're in the country, you have to pay allegiance to the
drug cartels here, and if you don't, you get killed. They have
the wrist bands on that tell them exactly what drug cartel they're with. It's
human trafficking, it's sex trafficking, it's drug trafficking, and it's happening every
hour of every day, and it is destroying the country. The foreign policy
of communist right China and the drug cartels. One is motivated by politics to
destroy us, and the other is motivated by money. And unless there's a
national state approach to the situation, we can't continue as a nation unless we
have a defined southern border. I don't know what to say representatives in the
Abrance, but you have some startling facts here that are unbelievable, and we
have to go to the origins and stop the flow across. It should be
the United States Army, it should be drones, it should be absolute stopping
in place. And you're telling me that we have the ability to do so,
but we refuse to do it for political purposes. I mean that's how
I see it on the federal level. I mean, what I'm going to
do here with my joint sponsor DJ Swearingen from up North is look, we're
going to send a strong message, don't come to Ohio if you want to
traffic humans and drugs. We're not tolerating it, all right, Representative Sinney
Abrams, thank you very much. And as we concern ourselves with indictments and
so much more, as we concern ourselves with almost irrelevancies, the country is
being destroyed from within. And Sindney Abrams, once again, thank you for
coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, and thank you for caring enough to take
time to go to Arizona to watch it in person. Thank you. Representative,
thank you very much. Thank you. All right, let's continue.
So there it is. Look at what's in the headlines, and look,
on the other hand, one hundred and fifty thousand Americans killed with fentnol overdoses
and heroin, cocaine, meth and so much more. We're being stroyed from
within, and we concern ourselves with Donald Trump one hundred percent of the time,
as if that's relevant to the lives of so many of us that have
kids and family members addicted to drugs. So let's continue with more and f
line becomes available. Five one, three, seven, four, nine,
seven thousand, Red Spaceball Tonight starting about five forty with the Cleveland baseball team

this because of how they cheated. I did win my election, I just
didn't get to have the job. They were robbed of an election, using
the word rigged, using the words steal. Do you think it's dangerous going
into twenty twenty? I don't because we can actually back it up. And
so, in response to what I believe was a stolen election, I'm not
saying they stole it from me. They stole it from the voters of George
facts but outside asked if I'm ever getting contee. The answers, no,
this is not the speech of concession. Oh hello, hello, hello,
quiet, and I'm broadcasting right, guy? Now'd you like that one?

talking about the election? Trump zeg was that Trump? I don't know.
No, ac Abrams. It wasn't Cindy Abrams. No, not Cindy Abrams,
it was Stacey would be an unfortunate errors. Stay Abrams says she will
not concede the election. And the governor Yes, she's the governor of Georgia
right now, and she yes she is segment. Did you know that?
Yeah. And the fact is, if you indict every politician who says I
think I won that election it was stolen from me, there wouldn't be hardly
anyone in office. Yeah, Trump right. In fact, when you ran
for green township, Kendy, what about you when you ran for something,
it's a different story, Okay, non successful to say it's not a successful

What happened in Brownie James. It's kind of shocking when you have young men
and some women who simply drop dead AEDs may not be available. And doctor
Naomi Cortez is a nationwide expert on these matters of cardiology, electrical conditions,
et cetera. She's one of the leaders of Nationwide Hospital Nationwide Children's Hospital in
Columbus. And doctor Naomi Cortez, welcome, I thank for the first time
to the Bill Cunningham Show. And uh, doctor, can you tell us
first of all, how many kids every year have cardiac arrest and how many
recover from an almost instant How big of a problem is it. Well,
I think it's a number that's hard to know because it's not necessarily a nationally
tract event. What I can tell you is that there was a beautiful study
done in Seattle looking at sudden cardiac arrest in the young and they define that
as less than thirty five These were all witnessed arrests, meaning somebody was standing
next to the person when it happened. Of all the people who had an
arrest, only forty eight percent survived. If somebody did CPR, that number
went up to sixty three percent. However, if an AEED was present and
used, the number went up to eighty nine percent. So the issue is
that you can't predict who is going to have a sudden cardiac arrest. Sudden
cardiac arrest is the highest leading cause of sudden deaths in the United States,
and it does happen in children as well. Is it more male than female?
Is one race more applicable to get it than another? Who's at risk?
So really everyone's at risk. It depends on how you look at the
numbers, whether you look at athletes or non athletes. It is more common
in men than in women. A misconception is that it only happens in athletes
in the pediatric age group. It is more common in non athletes than athletes,
and even when it happens in athletes, it may not happen while they
are actively participating in a sport. This is why it's so important that schools
have aeeds available and that they run drills so that anytime child suffers a sudden
cardiac arrest, that the school is prepared not only with an AEED, but
with someone who knows where it is and is willing to use it. Is
there. I've read some claim this is COVID related. Is there any just
put that the rest. Is there any thought that maybe the vaccine, maybe
pax leovid COVID has anything to do with this? Absolutely not. One of
the causes of sudden cardiac arrest is myocarditis, which is a viral infection in
the heart. COVID can cause myocarditis, but the incidents and presence of sudden
cardiac arrests has existed well before COVID ever reared its head, So it might
be this issue is getting more publicity because of the Monday night football game with
the Bills and the Bengals and Bronnie James. A might be anny more publicity,
but it's been there for a long time. And you're saying it's not
exercise related. It's not the fact that more kids are specializing in sports,
playing at a younger age, their hearts getting bigger, too much exercise.
Can you talk about the precursors of those who get it? You seem to
be saying athletes get it, but so to non athletes, So there's not
a connection between exercise and cardiac arrest. Now, the three main causes of
sudden cardiac arrest are you can have a structural abnormality of your heart. The
second reason is you have an electrical abnormality of your heart, and the third
reason is something called situational where you can develop an infection or you can get
hit in the chest in a certain specific way, which is very rare.
The common denominator is it all results in a rhythm called the ventricular fibrillation.
The treatment for that is an AEED, and so sudden cardiac arrest has been
going on for a long time. People, both athletes and non athletes,
are susceptible to sudden cardiac arrest. It's just the athletes get the most news
attention because people presume that they're absolutely healthy. You have five minutes. Wow,
all right, Well, what's a website you talk about? Adam the
states involved in this thing, Heart Safe, how their parents and school boards
connect up with this free program project Adam dot org. Very simple projects Adam
dot org. This is wonderful and everyone, I guess because of the publicity
of Damar Hamlin and Bronnie James and others. So we had a kid playing
soccer in northern Kentucky. That was a great kid, no previous presentation of
any difficulties. Cardiac arrest during a soccer game. Nobody knew what to do.
They call the ambulance. It takes ten to fifteen minutes to get there,
and he didn't survive. And I cannot happen in today's world. And
once again, Uh, it's got it's got to be different. And uh,
doctor Cortez, I'm glad you came on the Bill Cunningham Show and the
messages. Get the word out and go to the website, find out what
it is and get involved. And doctor once again, thank you very much
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you very much. Let me
correct. The website is Project Adam dot com dot org, Project Adam dot

WB's previous highest earner, two thousand eight's The Dark Night, which peaked at
