The Cunninghamy, Great America. Welcome this Wednesday afternoon in the tricetate Red spaceball
kicks off about two forty five perc afternoon. I take belong to you who
that is. They beat the Angels three straight when one out of four at
the Snakes now in San Francisco, So if they win this afternoon, they
would have gone five and five on the ten game road trip, which is
pretty good. But another hand, they look terrible, can't score, lots
of injuries. Back out at a two forty five, then off tomorrow Thursday
and four games against the Cubbies, a double dip on Friday day night doubleheader,
then back out at Saturday and Sunday, and so we'll see what happens.
There are a game and a half for two games out of the wild
card, and they have the Cubs in town this weekend. So if they
sweep the Cubs, guess what, the Reds are back in the playoffs.
So we'll see what occurs. But like many other Americans, I received my
tax valuation increase on the modified palatial state. We're up about forty percent,
and I thought, who better to talk about what's happening with the increased valuation
of real estate, at least in the state of Ohio. Is the great
Bridget Kelly. She's the county auditor. She walks in the shoes of Dusty
Rhodes and Bridget Kelly. Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Bridget,
first of all, can you explain to the American people why taxes,
the tax evaluations and are going up thirty to forty percent when many many Americans
don't feel that's the case. Well, first of all, thank you so
much for having me back. I appreciate the invitation to join you. So
I will say what we've sent out to folks across the county are what's called
tentative valuation notices. So they are tentative and they happen to prove by the
State of Ohio. And so we do this actually as a service to taxpayers,
so that we can be transparent about our work and so the folks know
what's going on in other counties. You're a notice of your new value comes
in the form of your tax bill, and so we think there's we think
there's a better way to do business than that. So the way the process
works is, you know, the state of Ohio, the Great State of
Ohio, directs us to do our re craisal every six years, with an
update in between called the triennial. They tell us how to do it,
which is, we have to uniformly value each parcel of property in Hamilton County,
of which there are over three hundred and fifty thousand, so we have
to view each and every one of those, and then we are directed by
the state to submit to them tentative values, which they either approve or not,
and they have approved ours, and that's what folks are getting in their
mailboxes. But I think, much like the palatial Cunningham states, folks are
seeing increases in values all across the state of Ohio. So it's not something
that is exclusive to Hamilton County, but rather something that's happening all over the
state. And as I haven't been in this issue for a little bit,
it appears the state tax Commissioner is the actual person. I think it's a
woman that's a mic DeLine a point d that kind of triggered the beginning of
the process. And no one believes that it's legitimate to say your value or
your property one up forty percent in the past one year. So for that
person living in Arlington Heights or Deer Park or Springfield Township or maybe Franklin County.
Who's the auditor in Hamilton County, it's you, bridget Kelly said at
one up forty percent. No one believes that happened. So what do you
say to that person that says, that's not right, that's not accurate,
it's not true, and I don't want to get in line to go through
a long process of determining the actual value. What do you say to that
person that says, bridget Kelly, that could not be the case. So
we'd say a couple of things. One, we want to make sure that
people are aware of the process and what's going on, which is why they
get their tentative value notices. And I'd also encourage your listeners to check out
Hamilton County auditor dot org and look at their property. Make sure we have
all the information correct on that. So another reason why we do this is
to make sure that we are as accurate as possible. The second thing I
would say is folks will get their final values at the end of the year,
and if people think we miss the mark, they can file in the
Board of Revision and again that's a resource that's available. They can see the
process on our website Hamilton County auditor dot org, including you know what types
of evidence that they can bring in to substantiate their claims. And the filing
period for that is January first through March thirty first of next year. That's
stepped forth by statute. But I will also say, you know, we've
seen the biggest fluctuations in neighborhoods where homeownership is accessible. We see flippers come
in out of Saint landlords. We have folks coming in to buy homes who
may prefer to buy in one neighborhood, but it's out of reach for them.
And so that's caught a lot of pretty significant fluctuations in neighborhoods that were
a little more accessible to people. And the other thing, I would say,
many many years ago, I represented somebody who went through the border revision
and it wasn't a big deal. It's kind of informal, there's not a
lot of rules of evidence. Three persons sit there and they kind of ask
you a few questions. You might come in with your own appraisal, which
is always lower than what the county says, and then they generally lower it,
but many times they don't. But it's not a big deal to go
down to I guess to the Todd Port Tuon County Administration Building to have a
little bit of a hearing. So you would encourage people in between January and
March of next year. If they're still unhappy, they go ahead and file
a piece of paper more or less an appeal, and it may not be
heard for six months to a year. But it's not a big deal,
that's true. So the Board of Provision is comprised of designates from the Auditor's
Office, the Treasurer's office, and as well as designates from the President of
the Board of County Commissioners. And again, if folks go to our website
at Hamilton County auditor dot org, you can see things you can bring in
to your point an appraisal, assigned estimate from a contractor similar sales, things
like that. Now, if you come in the Board of Provision and just
say hey, I'm mad at you because I think my taxes they're too high,
that's probably not going to be sufficient evidence for the board to find in
your favor. But we have a lot of experience folks on the board who
take these things seriously, and you know, it's their job to be fair
and to consider the evidence that is presented to them. I think the other
really important thing for people to remember is just because your value goes up by
a certain percentage does not mean your taxes will go up by that same percentage.
So we get a lot of questions from people that say, you know,
well, the values in the county have gone up, you know,
almost thirty three percent on average. Does that mean I'll have a thirty three
percent increase and my taxes in the answer to that is no. The way
that taxes are structured in Ohio and the way that levies are calculated, they're
guaranteeing to generate a certain amount of money, but no more or no less
than that. So it's possible we have folks whose values go up and their
taxes go up. It's possible we have folks whose values go up and taxes
stay about the same. It's sible that values go down and taxes go up
again because they have to fulfill the obligations of those levies that were approved by
voters and communities all across the county. And I'm glad you're brought up levees.
One of the reason Tony Bender left Hambleton County from Indian Hill is one
point six million dollar estate and moved to Boone County. It's because of all
these damned levies we are supporting in Hambleton County, all kinds of levies such
as the zoo, Engagine care, such as children's hospitals, such as you
see medical center, such as the meals on Wheels. There's no county,
in the sound of my voice at as many special levees as Hamblett County has.
That's why many move out to Boone County. What can we do to
rain in the amount of money we give to all these ten to twelve special
levees that most of us vote against but which they always pass. Well,
folks and can look on our website again at Hamilton County auditor dot org and
click on the tax distributions tab and see exactly you know where their tax that
are going. So again, that's something that we do in the interest of
transparency. For levies that will be on the ballot, there will be an
estimate of what those will be per hundred thousand dollars of valuation on our website
here in a couple of weeks. But you know, levies are decisions that
are made by communities, and you know, the state legislator has steadily scaled
back the amount of funds that they are giving to local communities. So it
often gives people, you know, no choice but to put a levy on
the ballot. And ultimately it's the people who live in that community, whether
it's in the county or in a smaller municipality anywhere throughout Hamilton County to make
decisions about where they want to invest their money. And so that's what happens
when levies pass, is because you know, people believe in safety service or
parks or a w rec center or any number of things. So again,
you know, it's just a really challenging place for some of these local municipalities
to be in because folks one amenities, they want nice neighborhoods, they want
strong communities. But at the end of the day, somebody's got to pay
for it. Now, Bridget Kelly, you bring up the point the value
of your property may have gone up forty percent, but there's a specific dollar
amount to be raised, like for school taxes and school levies and so the
amount you pay goes down because they say the school system collects fifty million dollars
and the value of property like in Madera went way up. That doesn't mean
that you're going to pay more in taxes for the schools because the amount of
money than on the tax duplicate is going down because they value the property went
up. Do I have that right more or less? That's exactly correct.
So the state has what's called reduction factors. So if there is a fifty
million dollars levey, that levy will generate fifty million dollars regardless of the value
of homes. And so you know, there are some communities that have a
lot of new construction that's going to have an impact. There are some communities
where levies fall off, so that will be an impact. You know,
we get a lot of emails from folks who say, what are my property
taxes going to be? But we unfortunately don't have a crystal ball in the
auditor's office. And so until let we know the disposition of the levies that
are on the ballot in November, and until we know the effective tax rates,
which are again set by the State of Ohio later this year, then
we won't be able to tell people what their tax obligation will be for the
coming year. But again at the end of the year, when folks have
their final values, they'll be able to see those on our website at Hamilton
County Auditor dot org. Now, Bridget Kelly, you spent a lot of
years in Columbus. You're now the Hamlety County Auditor walking in the boots of
Dusty Rhodes, and there's been some media reporting about your back surgery and about
your cancer treatment. What can you tell the American people about how you're doing
physically. I am continuing to feel well and feel strong. My back's feeling
great thanks to doctor manear Tabusha, and I'm going continuing to get my treatments
doctor Rfon Furduc. Those two are they have made it so that I can
continue to be healthy and well. And you know, just four tends to
have good healthcare and a great support system, so I can continue to go
eat at Sorrento's Pizza and solve all the world's problems with the folks in my
life. So I'm very grateful for it, and it gives me the opportunity
to continue to talk with a great American like you on your radio show,
so I'm very grateful. Well, the cancer is one of those things I
said to you off there, that everybody's got something and no matter what it
is, in life, that we're blessed to living a time where you can
contract a cancer and normally the prognosis is good. Unless you contract something like
a pankaratic cancer that could be a bit more difficult. But women's type cancers
are now largely treatable, much like any other problem in life. And I
don't know what the future is going to hold, but nonetheless, to live
in a time where you can get cancer treatment, continue with your life,
continue serving nor would the gem of the Highlands. And also Hamleton County is
a positive. What do you see yourself doing in five or ten years.
Well, I hope to be in the Hamleton County auditor for as long as
the voters will have me. We have a great team here, and we
actually have a very lean team who are a lot smaller than auditor staffed in
similarly situated county, but they have a ton of experience. We're a professional
office, and I'm very grateful to the voters for the ability to serve my
community in the State House and now as a Hamilton County Auditor. So I
hope in ten years I'll still be, you know, serving all the best
pizza places around town and calling it my favorite radio hosts. Bridget Kelly,
you're a great American. How's your daddy doing? He is as great as
ever. You know. There's all these rumors around that, you know,
maybe he might think about retiring, but Willie and I both know that's just
not true. I don't think so we need Bob Kelly around for a long
time. At some point I will disclose his real pseudonym, but at this
point he must continue to be a great practicing attorney, a great young daughter
doing her job, walking in the shoes of Dusty Rhodes, the American Dream
and Bridget Kelly once again Hamlety County Auditor. Good to hear about your cancer
treatment successful and I wish you and yours nothing but the best. And thank
you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show this Wednesday afternoon. Thanks for having
me all look forward you next time. Thank you. Bridget Kelly, former
State rep. Now Hamlet County Auditor. And the value is not the same
as the taxes that you pay because it goes up and down. But I
can all but guarantee that taxes in the long run will not go down.
They're going to go up. And there's no county and within the sound of
my voice, it has twelve special levies. We're supporting everything, which is
why rich guys like Tony Bender moved out of Indian Hill got into in a
state in Boone County with a much better house, paying a lot less than
taxes is because we're carrying the burden and many other counties. So let's continue
with more. If a line becomes available five one, three, seven,
four nine, seven thousand pounds seven hundred new at and T plus the red
spaceball kicks off of me and saying about two forty five this afternoon, they
win the game, to go five and five on the road trip, come
back home for four, then we'll see what happens. All A News Radio
seven hundred WLW. The two most sought after, most prestigious names in bridal
jewelry come together for one epic event next weekend in Genesis Diamonds to Cory and
Varagi's today that I began forty years ago today or maybe tomorrow in August of
nineteen eighty three, when the Great Randy Michaels, who's the built gates of
radio, asked me to pinch it and the evening talk show because the great
Alan Browning. I decided to stay where he was at fifty five KRC,
led of course by Tony Bender, and I said, well, Randy,
I've never done talk radio before, but I'll try it. And here I
am forty years to the day later, still talking. It's been wonderful,
it's been great. I'm the accidental radio talk show host. Didn't think it
would happen, and a week or two into it, Randy was trying to
find a replacement. And I don't blame him. I was so bad in
the beginning. In fact, many think I'm really bad right now that I
called friends of mine like Mark Minki and my wife at home and a couple
other golf buddies and say you got a call in. I got no calls.
I got nothing to say. And I was pretty bad for the first
week or two, maybe the first several months, until things started to happen.
Then I fully understood, and at that point I became a little bit
better. Nineteen eighty four occurred which was Ronald Reagan's second inaugural, and you
had the challenge or disaster, and we had the savings alone crisis of a
home state with Marvin the Warner and Bert Bond Guard, etc. And suddenly
I knew what I was talking about. I went to pro wrestling matches as
an announcer with Gary Burbank, and I said, talk radio can be like
pro wrestling, and the rest I always say is history. Over the last
forty years, there have been numerous occasions. I almost was left and we
had a general manager here for with three times I wanted to fire me,
but Randy Michaels laid his body over me and saved me. I had that
one stint in Chicago where w g N was after me along with Mike McConnell,
and I just got real closed, never signed the deal, and I
decided to stay here. And then I've had other circumstances where some of the
objects of my scorn, some of the mistakes that I've made, it became
close that they let me go. But here I am. I feel like
I'm on some effort by Steve McQueen to come off Devil's Island with the Coconuts,
wrapped together saying I'm still here. And I had a goal many years
ago of staying until the one hundredth anniversary of this sacred station, which was
celebrated in March. So it's been a little over a March of last year,
as I've spent about a year and a year in three months four months,
and I thought, Okay, if I can just last one hundredth anniversary
of the station and be relevant and have my wits about me, that'd be
good. And now I kind of had a secondary goal of making it to
my fortieth year, and I've made it, and now I have a goal
maybe if keeping it going as long as you continue to listen to the numbers
that you do now, because I think next year is I always say this,
but I think this time I'm right. The most important election of my
lifetime is twenty twenty four because if Joe Biden can stumble, and if the
media and the Democratic Party allows him to be the nominee of their party again
when he's completely mentally incompetent, can't read a teleprompter, can't say MAUI,
can't pronounce words, can't string together to spare thoughts, to make a coaching
point. If that continues and he's elected again because of the Orange Man,
then more and more trouble than I can imagine, because we can't keep borrowing
three billion dollars every day of brand new money to pay for social welfare and
military programs. We can't ford And if that happens, I don't know what
the country would look look like in twenty twenty eight. So I'm not sure.
I'm positive I'm not going to be with you longer than a year or
two, but I want to kind of complete at least through twenty twenty four
and see what happens. But I can't believe. I have no idea where
the last forty years have gone. When I started, the morning Guy was
a Gary Burbank, and the afternoons were Alan Gardner and the great Randy Michaels,
and then they were in mid days, and then it was Gary Burbank,
the greatest of all time two to six, and then the Trumpster,
Bob Trumpy was six to nine, and yours truly was nine pm to one
am. And at that point I was actively in court every day, so
that meant I went home about one thirty quarter all two try to get some
sleep, and she put on my monkey suit, go down to Hamlet County
Courthouse, to the Kent County Courthouse or Warren County and do my criminal cases
and then go back home about four or five o'clock. And normally I had
basketball and baseball practice to coach until six or seven o'clock, and then I
had a quick dinner and repeated it. And that's the way it was,
and I was happy to do it honor. And so fortieth year, either
today, today or tomorrow completed. And I think I have a year or
two left if you'll let me. And by that I mean the advertisers,
people like Frank Ziebelle and John Barrett, and people like Greece Powers and people
like Paul Luck and many others. I'm sure I'm missing that. As long
as the money continues to roll in to sponsor this show, and as long
as you continue to patronize the sponsors to say, you know, we like
what we hear. It's a different viewpoint. I don't always agree, hell,
I don't agree agree with myself most of the time. But nonetheless,
and the ratings are right now, the ratings are better than they've ever been
at this station. We talk about the good old days. The good old
days are never that good, but they were old, and we've never had
the level of listenership we have today, even during the glory days of Jim
Scott. In the morning, it's then Mike McConnell and then me, and
then afternoon Drive with Eddie Fingers, who's a living legend of his own right,
with the great Tracy Jones and now the great Rocky Boyman, And then
we went through various audiations of sports talk. Of course Bob Trumpy is the
is the godfather a sports talk and after him or Chris Collinsworth and Aye Furman
and Annie Furman is a great radio talent, and then after that went through
Paul Docherty, after that a little bit of Tom Gamble, and after that
finally hit on Lance McAllister, who in his own right, that's pretty good.
I think he's a better person than he is as a talk show host,
because Lance McAllister is a great person. Then of course at night we
have Gary Jeff Walker out a run the truck and Bozo loved what happened with
the Bozo and what that did. And now we have Red Eye Radio,
whatever the heck that is, and more so, the product here keeps evolving
and changing. The personalities come and go. But as long as we have
people like the Cincinnati Reds and the Bengals and the Bearcats and Xavier and so
much more FC wanting to partner with us, we washed the market with young
and old, black and white, rich and poor, straighting, gay,
etc. That's what we are as a listening post in which you can hear
viewpoints often not otherwise heard. So I've been honored and I'm beginning my forty
first year with you at this station either today or tomorrow. Randy Michaels tells
me he thought it was August the twenty ninth. I thought it was September.
The first I got ahead in my mind the invasion World War two started
September first, nineteen thirty nine, when Germany invaded Poland. But nonetheless,
I've enjoyed every minute of it, and good chunk of my life has been
spent living out dreams I didn't think I would ever realize because I was born
here, and I spent about six years in Toledo going to law school working
for Schnorff, Snorff and Snorff. After law school, also a federal law
clerk. One of the owners of my life, by the way, was
working with a roommate who's a best friend at Moorehouse College, was a young
guy named mL King Junior. And his name was Judge Robert V. Franklin
of Lucas County Common Police Court, and he was the first black judge elected
in Lucas County, this going back to the late nineteen sixties. And pictures
of him and Coretta and him and his wife and mL, which just lit
the corners of my mind when we had discussions about Moorehouse College in nineteen forty
seven, nineteen forty eight, and what kind of person mL was. And
he had just been assassinated about three years before I started working as a bailiff
for Judge Franklin, and he still had a tear in his eye whenever he
talked about what happened in Memphis to the great Martin Luther King Junior. So
from that other relationships developed to kept my eyes open, kept my head down,
tried to do what was right. And I've said this before, it
I'll say it right now. If I've offended you, and I've apologized for
it, accepted. Some people I offend and I don't want an apology from
me to them, because they're not going to change. I've made many mistakes
in radio, and I'll continue to make them. Hopefully the good outweighs the
bad, and the right outweighs the wrong, and hopefully I've had a small
impact. And the political thinking of many in the tri State Walhamlet and County
has gone decidedly to the left. The great majority of listeners are decidedly to
the right. I find myself a conservative libertarian, and I began as a
liberal Democrat. A wise man once said, if you're not a Democrat by
the time you're twenty five, you have no heart, and not a Republican
by the time you're forty five, you've got no brain. So we begin
the process. It continues anew and right now at twelve forty nine pm on
this Wednesday afternoon, August at thirty twenty twenty three, there are hundreds of
people that I've never heard my voice that are listening right now. And a
wise athlete one said that somebody in the stands has never seen me play,
have heard about me, but they've never seen me play, and I want
to play for that person to let them remember something I said or did that
would have some positive impact in their life. And the greatest thing that has
said to me as I traveled the highways and the byways that when some man
or woman walks up to me in their thirties and said, you know what,
You've been with me every day of my life in one way or another.
And I've never met you meeting to now, but I've never met you
before, but I want to let you know something you said when I was
twenty one, or something you said when I was twelve years old men an
impact in my life. One Vivek Ramaswamy was saying. Next, he's a
Hindu and the san X Boys in Springfield Township selected this guy named Faveke Ramaswamy
to be their commencement speaker. So pretty good stuff. And he told me
that when I was a little boy, my father, who worked at General
Electric, would drive around and I would listen to you when I was a
boy. Right now, he's thirty eight years old. And so when someone
of that age group who now has a husband or a wife and kids of
their own come up to me and say, I want to thank you because
you had an impact positively in my life. That's the best thing you can
say. And the second best thing is I listen to you now and then
to laugh that it's funny. You can be serious, but never take yourself
too seriously. I said, that's it, man. We're all in a
journey together, and hopefully at the end of the day we find ourselves wrapped
in the hands of God Almighty and the pearly gates admitted for eternity to a
place where we all want to work toward. And I try not to do
things that hurt people and get them so angry they have negative feelings about our
country, or about me or about this station, because at the end of
the day, it's only talk, it's only words. But if it motivates
actions, so be it. So I'm not sure how much longer I'd say.
I told DJ Hodge and Rhino a year or two, and that's what
I intend on doing. And after twenty twenty four, good or bad,
right or wrong, see what happens. I'll make a decision in January February
of twenty twenty five whether to continue. But forty years, my God would
a run, and the memories like the corner of my mind, all the
things, the Reds and the Bengals and political When I met the US ambassador
to Kuwait in nineteen ninety one on Fountain Square after the soldiers came marching home
the gall four one, what was an incredible event. Being able to speak
to practice, particularly every high school and the tri state in college, being
a commencement speaker at law schools. It's been one hell of a ride.
And I physically feel about the same now as I did when I was thirty
five. I still feel like thirty five most of the time, to quote
George Strait. In fact, yesterday I played golf and I shot three strokes
below my age seventy two at Kenwood Country Club, played with my buddies.
They lost like seventy dollars and they squealed like pigs, had a great time
enjoy it. So God has granted me with the good health, the ability
to turn a phrase, and to maybe positively impact the lives of people just
like you. So I thank you. Let's continue with more, and once
again thank you. Coming up after one o'clock will be John Lott of Crime
Research dot Org about how the mainstream meet it gets it wrong when they talk
about mass shootings. Formulating generally and complete insanity. What happened in Jackson was
completely insane. Racism was the bedrock of what that mentally ill person considered relevant
in his life. But John Lott worked in the Trumpet administration together statistics on
mass shootings and why they occur and how they occur. So he's going to
be with us about ten minutes after one o'clock today, and then second I'll
be with you beginning about two thirty five. A little bit of red Spaseball,
and as Brian Combs said, believe it or not, if they win
this afternoon with Hunter Green also known as Homer Green getting paid big bucks for
a lack of performance, they would have gone five and five on this road
trip, five and five, which ain't bad on the West Coast. Then
they come home starting on Friday, split day night doubleheader, four games against
the Cubs, and that will determine the course of the next month of red
Spaceball. Once again, thank you for listening, beginning during the Reagan administration
and continuing through the twenty twenty election. I thank you for listening and for
giving me benefits and advantages in this life as a Cincinnati kid that otherwise would
not be present if I would have stuck with my original avocation of simply practicing
Law twelve fifty four. Thank you, Bill Cunningham. US Radio seven hundred

musing researching so much more, and it appears there's an accelerating effort for a
more gun control putting out a business gun sellers, and also the issue of
gun manufacturers being sued for the shall we say, the illegal use of their
product by some very few but nonetheless once again, John Lott, welcome to
the Bill Cunningham Show. And I noticed John on The Federalist that you have
a great article headline, do gun controlled groups care what really causes mass shootings?
Every town lawsuit says no. Of course if several days ago we had
the terrible event in Jacksonville and the sheriff their waters made some lucid comments which
I found shocking when he made him we'll deal with those later on. But
what's the idea that the uncontrolled groups like every town has no idea what's causing
mass shootings? But it's great to talk to you again, Thanks for having
me on. Yeah, Well, Bloomberg's every town is suing the uh,
the individual that's sold the gun, the gun store that sold the gun to
the person. He's suing the man's parents, and he's also suing social media.
Let's uh, you know, you look at the suit, and the
gun store did the proper background check. You know. The thing is if
they only read the person's manifesto, they would see what actually motivated this individual
and why he did the crime that he did. So, for example,
he spends a lot of time in his manifesto explaining why he picked the target
that he did. He wanted to go to a place where he knew his
victim wouldn't have concealed handguns because he knew that if they were armed, it
would make it much more difficult for him to go and kill his victims that
are there. This is nothing new. This is something we see time after
time, and these monsters manifestos and diaries, you know, just steven.
Earlier this year at the Nashville Covenant School shooting, the person there apparently had
another target in mind, a mall, but had decided not to go through
with that target because there was armed security there and people were allowed to have
permitted concealed handguns at the mall, and so the person then went to the
school because there was no security that was provided there made it look like an
easy target. And this is something we see time after time. But the
you know, the media generally completely ignores those parts of the manifestos, like
the Buffalo mass murder, as well as every town. And you know,
as far as suiting people like the parents, this mass murderer had seen two
psychologists who had evaluated the person and told and decided that the person was not
a danger to themselves or others. So somehow, you know, you have
these mental healthcare experts looking at it, but the parents are supposed to be
responsible then for the person's actions, even though these experts weren't able to figure
out what was going through the guy's mind. And you make the point in
your article that the Biden administration has already put out a business two thousand gun
sellers, and they drove Remington Arms into bankruptcy. Because even when you win
these lawsuits, it can take hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in legal
fees. We're both lawyers. Paying legal fees is of course a very important
item, but but nonetheless that the strategy, even when you lose, you
win because you drive these gun dealers and these gun shops out of business.
Most are small business owners that have to comply with the myriad of laws rules
and regulations. Even when you do that, something may go awry. It'd
be like suing the manufacturer of of knives and forks and spoons. If someone
gets morbidly obese, Let's go after the guy who made the spoon that fed
me. When there's no proximate cause between the legal act of the manufacturing on
one hand and the criminal act on the other. You can't sue forward if
someone drives a pickup truck to rob a bank. But that's coming. And
so the leftist win even when they lose, because they drive more and more
of these manufacturers and shop owners out of business. Isn't that part of the
strategy. Oh yeah, I know, that's exactly right. I mean,
it's very costly for them to defend themselves against these lawsuits. And you just
have enough of these lawsuits. You're going to drive these small companies, these
small guns shops out of business. Uh. You know, just the lawsuit
costs for this one case, for the Buffalo mass murder. Uh. You
know, one can only imagine that this one little gun shop, having to
spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal costs, could easily bankrupt that one
place. But you know you mentioned the thousands of gun dealers have been put
out of business by the Biden administration. Uh. You know this is part
of their zero tolerance policy, where one paperwork mistake, no matter how trivial,
no matter how inconsequential, and any of the forms that they have,
is enough for the Biden administration to take away their license. There's there's just
reading a couple of days ago. There is a case in Texas where fifteen
and sixteen years ago, a man who has dyslexia had apparently transposed a couple
letters in two different forms that he had filled out for the forty four seventy
three's for the background chips, and the Obama administration, which was hardly a
friend towards gun ownership, had looked at it had said that the guy had
made mistakes, but they were very trivial and not consequential, and had closed
the books on it. Well, he's made no more paperwork mistakes over the
remaining fifteen years, but the Biden administration has gone back and opened up that
fifteen and sixteen year old mistakes that were there and are using those to take
away his license to be a gun dealer. Yeah. Well, another article
you have up at your website. Crime research dot Org is about Biden is
withholding federal funding from schools with hunting and archery programs. And some of the
rural areas of this great country have those programs. But it shows that the
lust that the leftists have in this country do disarm Americans is unbridled. So
explain what he wants to do with archery programs. And I know it Xavier.
When I went to Xavier University, I was in Rozi and we used
to carry an M one rifle slung over our shoulders on campus. So there
was fifteen or twenty college students walking around the college campus of Xavier University in
Cincinnati, Ohio with an M one slung over our shoulder. You can imagine
what would happen if that occurred today. But describe what the Biden administration wants
to do with these gun safety programs and archery programs in private and public schools.
Right Well, the average public school in the country gets about nine percent
of its spending money from the federal government, and the buying administration is saying
if you have any of these hunter safety or archery classes, they will suspend
all federal funding for those schools. Uh, so you know that's nine percent
that's going to get a lot of their attentions, and uh, you know
you have a six you know, obviously, if you want to make people
safer, you get rid of hunter safety classes. That's one of the first
things you do. And of course, all these mass murderers going on with
archery these days, you know, you got to get rid of the archery
classes. So you know, you know, who knows what's going through their
mind on some of these things, but they just you know, I think
part of it for the hunt thing. They know that whether people go hunting
in their youth is going to be related to whether or not they're likely to
own guns in the future. And it's so it's just a target for them
probably for that reason. And I would point out the Covenant School mass shooting.
We still don't know the manifesto of the transgender student who went there at
one point, and because I would assume it's injurious to liberal principles of gun
control, we're going to hear about the manifesto that happened a few months back
now before I let you go. You often talk about the female victims of
DV domestic violence and how the best way to protect themselves is not to get
a piece of paper or it's not to hide out somewhere. And so you
have an article up from July twenty seventh, what about five weeks ago,
four or five weeks ago about DV. Generally women are the victims. Probably
ninety five percent of the victims of domestic violence are female. And what they're
told not to do, In fact, it could be illegal in many cities
for many of these women to protect themselves. Explain what they should be doing,
right, Yeah, no, it's amazing. You look at all the
advice that women who are victims of stick violence gets and what are they told.
They're told change their name, quit their job, move uh, you
know, if you're gonna, you know, move in with somebody else.
If you're gonna go shopping, make sure somebody's going shopping with you. If
you do go to work, take a different route to work every day and
leave at different times. They're told to completely uproot their lives. Once in
a while, they're told to go and get martial arts training. But when
you're talking about a two hundred pound man versus one hundred and thirty pound woman,
you know, the size and strength differences they're gonna, you know,
weigh offset any training that she's likely to get. But one thing that they're
just refused, you know, nobody tells them is to get a gun,
whereas the gun is by far the safest course of action for them to take
because of those large size and strength differences there. You know, the gun
is a great equalizer, makes a much bigger change a woman's ability to go
and resist an attack from a man that it does for a man to protect
himself against another man. And you never ever hear that, You never hear
from ABCNBC for CBS that the best way to protect yourself is know how to
use a weapon, to carry it with you effectively, and to protect yourself
and don't wait for a piece of paper or a nine one one call awfully
ineffective. Now, lastly, if it's an issue of environmental extremism, if
it's a transgender issue and it's a mass murderer or a black person who commits
a mass murder for one reason or another, those don't fit within the media
bias. So it's a consequence you don't hear about environmental wackos who are mass
murderers. But if a white so called insane white person who's who's a racist,
who loves Nazis and is mentally ill, commits a mass murder like in
Jacksonville, if that occurs, then that drives the media narrative about white supremacy.
But is it equally true that if you're environmental extremist or a black racist,
the media doesn't cover it the same way. I mean, we're just
talking about the Buffalo mass murder. You know, you look at the guy.
He calls himself an eco fascist, he calls himself a national socialist,
he calls himself, you know, a mild manner, left wing authoritarian.
You know, he was he hated blacks, But the reason why he hated
blacks was because he was an environmentalist. He was upset about people having too
many children. He thought blacks and minorities in particular, we're having too many
children. I mean, if you read the New York Times or the Warston
Post, you're gonna see editorial after editorial describing the guy as a conservative right
winger. And that's just because anybody who's a racist the media automatically describes as
somebody on the right that's there and yet you know, there are many of
these kings people. Though the Walmart El Paso killer is just another example the
one, there's others around the country that have had similar types of view.
The vast majority of these mass murders have no political views. Only about eight
percent are racist in some ways. But but over half of those are basically
environmentalists. And you know, so rather than you know, every town is
suing YouTube for supposedly allowing conservative views on YouTube, why aren't they? You
know, who are the politicians that are talking about people having too many kids?
Maybe AOC who's talked about whether people should have any kids, or how
about Biden talking about the existential threat to human existence posed by climate change?
That's there, you know, I'm not I don't think just because a politician
makes some comments that they should be liable. I mean, you got to
have political debate on things. Yeah, but if you're going to be suing
anybody, you know why, you know, just read the manifestos for these
mass murders. They're only read by the media if it fits the media bias.
Lastly, I love the comments of Sheriff T. K. Walters about
a week or ten days ago some reporter asked him about the guns used by
that racist, crazy mass murder in Jacksonville, and he said to the effect,
if I take my weapon and put it on the podium right here in
front of you, it's an inanimate metal object. I won't do a damn
thing until evil picks it up and kill somebody. And that statement of Sheriff
Waters in Jacksonville was not carried by the media, was it. No.
I mean, the media doesn't carry a lot of these things that I think
if they did, would make a big difference in the debate. Look,
guns make it easier for bad things to happen, but they also make it
easier for people to protect themselves and prevent bad things from happening. Americans use
guns defensively about five times more frequently each year than guns are used in the
commission of crimes. But if you rely on media stories and what have you
think the ratio if anything, is massively in the other direction, and you
know, what might be newsworthy from the media's perspective, doesn't always provide people
with an accurate impression of what's happening out there in the world. Well,
the truth will set us off free. And I feel to an extent.

ain't got nothing up there yet? Well, she says, I look terrible.
How about say that every day to you. Basically, she lays out
my clothes and I wear nothing against the first lady, But I mean,
she lays out my clothes and says, what would you say. I'm not
going to go for a hair cut today. It's not worth it. Believe
me, I'm getting my hair cut. How about this? I get this
from a Madeira kid Home of the Tangs. Sir Willie, I met you

I was selling Madeira phone books the store for the Peanut I think the name

I'm gonna tell Rachel move back to Madeira. You got a choice of California,
Washington, DC, or Madeira. Let me think I would take the

Yes. And his name is sir Will the guy's name? Where who is
it? I don't see a name here? Oh I should Also, my
name is Chris tudor t u d o or he's our citizen of the day,
Chris Tutor and his young wife Rachel, and convince him, probably a

Bengals trimmed their roster Willie Waving thirty five players yesterday, but they picked
up one early this morning. What about Joe Burrow? Former Cowboys quarterback Will
Greer, who threw for three hundred five yards and ran for forty five more
in the final preseason game with Dallas, is signing with the Bengals practice squad.
Now what about Beals? The Bengals are on the practice field about fifteen
minutes. What about Joe Burrow? What about him still out as he signed
the deal? No, is he practicing? No? Are they related it?
No, Zack Taylor said he's not holding out. He's holding out as
I heard from who say Yeah. Former Bengals punt returner and slot wide receiver
Trent Taylor is going to sign with the Chicago Bears. What about Logan Wilson,
He's already he signed that big contract extension while you were gone. He's
our main speaker with the Deer Park. Correct, He's not going anywhere,
oh nowhere, but he's gonna raise money for the park. How about undrafted
former UC and co Rane High school star linebacker Ivan Pace Junior has earned a
spot with the Minnesota Vikings. He joins former Lakota West star Jordan Hicks with
Minnesota. How about that pretty good? Let's see MLS Soccer FC Cincinnati back
on the pitch tonight in Atlanta against the atl United seven o'clock ESPN fifteen thirty.
A win and FCC clinches a playoff spot. Can FCC Miami Miami whatever
they're called, you made enter Miami CF? Can they make it to the
playoffs with MESSI? Well, you know what, that's a good question.
I don't know that they may be too far out of it, but I
mean they've won, they've won that that was there, what their eighth win
in a row the other day? And I think they be I think they
beat the New York Red Bulls. Uh that next Saturday night one nil.
That would have been nine or ten in a row. I don't know they
they mighty might be climbing up, but may probably get into playoffs. I
would think that's why they got him. What if MESSI came back to Cincinnati
in a playoff game, I put all twelve or whatever guys out there on
him and say, you know what, that guy right there, right number
ten, get around number ten. Just let the other twelve or thirteen around,
many of them. Just let him run around mess right, get fence
wherever he goes. Correct, if he goes to the bathroom, say can
I pull your zipper down? Whatever it takes, you stay with Messy.
Yes, don't lose Lionel. Correct? Am I right or wrong about that?
You're right? See that guy right there right number ten? There's other
eight the greatest. Ever, how many guys are on a soccer team playing
what is it nine or ten? Something like that? I said, whatever
it is, you guys all leave the other ones alone. That guy right
there, number ten, three guys around him, get him whatever he goes,
Let the other guys run around. Then he get all the guys around
him. He can't kick the ball to him and head it in Well,
like he did here with Campana, who sounds like a breed of bananas or
something. I mean, the guy who scored the two goals. Give me
a banana. What's the guy's name, Campana? Is he a banana?
No? Well, what I do? Then? Well what they what the
what the FCC needs to do is go after Well, he can't go after
Ronaldo. They can't go out for Messy. What about Kane? Then Bope
and Bope. I don't know if he's signed anybody. Kane is in Saudi
Arabiakas. I think he's retired. That's some real cocka right there. Pale's
dead, so is Maridonna and not Madonna. Well, I don't know.
I'm doing some interviews around the country, of course, and I'm gonna be
on in w TAM the Legacy of Mike Trevisano, home of Bill Wilson,
and they want an update on Joe Burrows contract tomorrow. Okay. At one
point is JB going to be a holdout. He's not gonna hold out.
He's gonna sign, don't worry about it. And he's going spin over a
month. So what it's tense negotiations. I think how many times has Mike
Brown lost negotiations bingo, not many. He's like a pitfall with aids.
Correct, he gets hold of your man and you're just getting naught. He
beat the irs right in tax court. Right. So when you beat the
irs, the communications you have you can talk to people anytime, anywhere there
you go. He still use a rotary dial phone though he's the best.
He's got a Flip Sells had a birthday this month. See ninety eighty eight
or eighty nine. I think I'm not sure he's a funny man. He
is a funny man, great man. He's also worth four billion dollars.
Along with his football team. He could buy and sell all the power brokers
in town twice over. Nobody knows that. But Mike Brown is rich,
that's for sure. Every time he turns around, he gets richer. So
I don't know what to say, but uh, all I know is that
we need him bope. If we can get him bop A to come to
FC Cincinnati, we'll have a story right there. Of course, he gets
one hundred and fifty million dollars a year from Saudi Arabia. Correct. I'm
not sure he would want to leave there and bop for the west end.
Yes he did, but money talking and you know what walks They're winning two
zip. Let's see right, not much time left and then Messi with his
assist made a two to one. Then all of a sudden near the end
two minutes two minutes of stoppage time, what happens? And buff Bay kicks
another one right there, compana. Then we go to it in the back
of the sort time and got to three three to do it. Scatter,
repeaty, there's that competition again. Listens, he arrives. Let's stonish.
He puss He doesn't pull pusses, rubbit some of his log Cocke pulls kangaroos.
He doesn't pull rabbits out of his magical butt. He pulls kangaroos.
Well, he's a living god, there's no doubt about that. Did he
spend time and maybe OTR and some bar getting drunk at a time? I
don't think so he went He had that picture after the match with Jeff Ruby.
I'm jealous. I'd like to get a picture with Messis and Charles Well.
I felt as if I should give up my two tickets. What's like
with we had a certain female star come to uh Acors. I got a
call saying we'd like to see a certain female songstress sing. And you guess
who that was, Dolly Martin. She said no to the future Queen Middleton.
Taylor, Taylor Swift, Swift? Oh, I said, there's got
to be some teenage girls somewhere. I would like to watch Taylor Swift sing
well? And I had two ts. I don't think that you had him.
I had him. I said, I couldn't care less, so I
gave him up. Get a call from Jeff birding you want to come,
and I say, look, is there someone who understands soccer? They'll like
to watch Messi. He said, yes, we can get rid of the
tickets. I said, get rid of them because I don't appreciate it.
Do you appreciate Taylor. Who's bigger, Taylor Swift or Messy? Well?
In the music world she is. And who's bigger and the world Messy or
Taylor Swift? Oh, she's a lot richer, I think, don't you.
I don't know about that. I don't know. I mean Messi's got
all the money. There's no money between the two of them. They got
all the money. She sings and he kicks the balls around. You can't
say, and you're gonna get in trouble against soccer, you better say that.
I don't want my ball is being kicked by anybody. Tell I'm telling
you, okay, I just can't say that. Sorry, you and I
have gotten enough trouble recently. We're not going to go back there and get
those dark days. He kicks and she sings and does it quite well,
by the way, correct, both of them right, And she is not
a drug addict and a clown, unlike many so called rock stars. He's
going to do this for the next tour is still going on. Yeah,
in fact, she has new dates. She's going to be an Indian app
plus in twenty twenty four. She can print the money at she gave her
truck drivers one one hundred grand at beach, just on top of just driving
her around a little bit. That's at n right there. I should have
kept dating her. That's all I can tell you of. First I played
golf that she wouldn't ask you if to do get a haircut. My wife
says, I look like crap, So I got to get a hair We're
still with Taylor Swift. You have a mullet, no question, but the
golf course at Kenwood yesterday was I was gonna say conditions, weather was perfect.
The walls released into the fairway and ran and rabbits and seventy two plus.
Tell the fans out there, Wally sweet what what what? Hole on
the big seen for number twelve? I dunked an eight iron for any eagle,
kind of like Victor Hovlin and Roy McElroy and and and Scott Scheffler.
I said that, Tina and Wally, I want to upgrade my opponents.
I wonder if Victor Hovelin and Scottie Scheffler are both available, bring them here
right now. Yeah, let's play golf for money. Let's go worse.
He just made eighteen million dollars. Some money's not much of a Factor's gonna
say. Nonetheless, segment, get me out of the Studge Report. We
have many important matters to attend and what we do is not important. Much
as a wise man once said, I love you, dearly, but you're
not a serious person. William utter of Happy birthday to one of our own.
Who is it, Brian super Combs. He's got the King of the
Morning News. He's got to be seventy or eighty years old, and the
happy birthday to super Combs Elder's finest. We leave you with the immortal words
of the stew D Report, Preez, thank you. I think you're patience
today exceeds your good judgment. Thank you, And I want to say one
thing to your children. I know some really great ice cream places around.
Could be a pervert. Mitch McConnell can't put he freezes up like he did
in Covington. John Fetterman can't find his flabby white butt with both hands.
Diane Feinstein is under a guardianship, and Joe Biden is our president. See
you wouldn't want to be on seven hundred w outovio twin your way to our
twenty twenty three. I heartle woman looks and I'm like a yo girl,
squeel. I want to be up a baby that I'm bad of the bowl,
Bad of the bowl, Bad of the bowl. Let's continue Red Spaseball
starts in about twenty five minutes or so. But media and Cincinnati's covering this
story about center Mitch McConnell freezing up again at a news conference, and uh
tanyo O'Rourke has sent me the video and obviously he's having a moment. It
could be a tia, it could be a seizure. But obviously, mentally
he's not present. He's eighty years old. He was a polio survivor,
which is a tremendous thing to overcome, and I compliment him on overcoming his
physical challenges. But Mitch McConnell does not belong in the United States Senate,
along with Diane Feinstein don't belong in the Senate. She's in a conservative ship
in California. She's being guarded her finances by her daughter, and her daughter
is in her seventies and she's looking after the senior senator from California. The
junior senator from Pennsylvania, Senator John Fetterman, obviously is mentally impaired. He
cannot function. And then you have a president right now, and I'm getting
reports when you look at Newsmax and other sources that all the briberies, all
the cash paid to the bidens, with the acquiescence of Brock Hussaint Obama,
that's going to break allegedly, and thirty days, but it might be sixty
days, might be ninety days. But the reason is being slow walked.
It's because who takes over as Kamala Harris, and even the Democrats understand that
it's not that dog won't hunt. So we find ourselves being led by individuals
every which way that are incapable of essentially performing their job and a fungent fashion
that we deserve. And in Kentucky is other things at play. In most
states, the governor appoints a temporary replacement US Senate and then there's an election
held. Now Ohio has that, And if there's a vacancy in the seats,
either Brown or jd goes south in one way or another. The governor,
Mike Dwine appoints someone probably would appoint himself to the US Senate, and
John used said to be the governor, and life goes on. But in
Kentucky they changed the law a couple of years ago in which the lawmakers overrode
Basher's veto. And if there's a vacancy US Senate seat, there are three
names put up by the House and the Senate and Frankfort together three names,
and the governor must pick from those three names. So obviously, if there's
an opening between now in twenty twenty six in this seat, which is extremely
likely, that means the Republicans in the House and the Senate get together and
they give the governor three names to choose from. All will be conservative Republicans,
and the governor, Andy Basher, will say, I'm not picking one
of those three. That is unconstitutional, that it's a gubernatorial function and not
a legislative function to pick a legislator. So he's going to pick a liberal
Democrat and then that'll be thrown into federal court and see what happens. So
that's a little bit of impediment to replacing an in play, a replacement for
Senator Mitch McConnell. That, obviously and mentally he's lost his way. He's
probably more mentally competent right now than the President Joe Biden. Everyone arounds him
knows it. They don't want to say it, but I just did.
He's no more competent than Senator Fetterman or Senator Feinstein. Michelle I say,
we need a new generation of leadership. Maybe someone under seventy years old,
wouldn't that be nice? Ronald Reagan was sixty nine was elected president. In
the media couldn't wait to talk about all the malapropisms and mistakes made by Ronald
Reagan when he was sixty nine, and who we got Joe Biden running for
the presidency again. When he's going to be sworn in, he'll be eighty
two years old, and he's not functioning in the office now, he's on
vacation. He can't think, can't talk, makes no sense. I'm not
talking about McConnell. I'm talking about Joe Biden. So who knows. But
it would be nice if individuals took personal responsibility for their own behavior. And
when Mitch McCone has a lucid moment, he should say I can't do the
job anymore, set a data a few weeks in advance, stepped down from
his leadership position, and the Republican Senate in Washington and say, you know
what, let someone else pick up the banner. Because obviously he's frail and
elderly and mentally he's not alert, but more alert than Fetterman, Feinstein or
Biden. They all should step down. And one thought I have about the
Trumpster is that he is seventy seven years old, but he's sharps attacked and
God bless him. But Bernie Sanders is eighty one, the socialist in Vermont
and he's sharp. He mentally's present. So you can be eighty years old
and know what's going on, and you can be seventy five years old and
lose too many brain cells over the years and can function. But whatever it
is, say which one about Donald Trump? He knows what the hell's going
on. I'm not I'm not sure Mitch McConnell does take responsibility on that front.
Yeah, the governor and mayors and others going after the gun manufacturers,
going after automakers. There's a disproportionate number of Hyundai's and Kias that are that
are stolen car theF because it's easier to steal them than inness to steal other
vehicles. So the governor of I'm sorry, the mayor of Chicago is now
saying, well, he's fought a lawsuit against Hundai and Kia alleging their cars
are too easy to be stolen. Therefore they have they're being sued because car
thieves steal those vehicles because there's not a lock system in place, and putting
on and off that bar on the steering wheel makes no sense, no responsibility.
And be as if you find on who made a lot of spoons and
forks when someone is morbidly obese and sue them because somebody eats too much.
It's not the forks fault, it's the person eating too much. And in
the car theft business, it is not hyun days the problem. It is
the car thief that is their problem. And on John Lott with you and
I about it. An hour ago. They're putting out a business thousands of
gun store owners and manufacturers because they're blaming a metal object for crime. And
the sheriff of Jacksonville, Sheriff TK Waters said it at the news conference.
I said, I could take out my service weapon right now, I'm sticking
on this podium and it wouldn't do a damn thing until evil picks it up
and does something wrong with it. When it comes to race issues, almost
every time the media will point out how some crazy, mentally ill white supremacies
killed some black folks. It's awful, it's wrong, but I can point
out an equal number of crazy black guys, I mean mentally ill black guys
who go out and kill white people on a regular basis. The most recent
was a guy named andre A long Bore who was mentally ill, who legally
bought a couple of weapons. He went a hunting down white people to kill,
randomly killed four in the state of Georgia in a killing spree that it
didn't receive national attention because it didn't fit the media dietrode of personal responsibility.
The abortion issue would resolve itself if women women know how the game is played.
Unless it's raper incest, which is one percent of abortions, great majority
of times it's because a woman has acted irresponsibly along with the man who should
use protection. That's why PCPs exists, birth control pills and condoms, that's
why i U d s are available or the day after pill. So if
people take responsibility for their own behavior, don't need that unless you're it's a
child rape and incest, which is one percent. When it comes to the
climate, the same things available. And I have a guest on the Mars
Steve Malloy. There's two thousand scientists, including Nobel laureates that are now saying
slow down, you're moving too fast, and that's the recipes for climate change
are not going to work because the climate changes every three months, whether you
like it or not. But it's choosed by liberals, leftists and democrats to
seize control of the economy and to make us feel bad. Whatever, almost
whatever the issue is, personal responsibility will carry the day. Grow up,
be a man, be a woman, and take responsibility for your own behavior
and don't blame others for your mistakes. Let's continue two twenty three Home of
