Above all, others should always have their concealed carry permit with them, especially
in urban areas, because it's dangerous out there. Plus later on, either
today or tomorrow, I'm gonna have on Melissa Powers. She's caused the indictment
of one of these guys doing donuts at I seventy one, and she wants
to she has indicted them on felonies and wants to confiscate the vehicles and send
the message you can't do donuts and I seventy one. Plus later on we
scheduled Wes Miller, the Uce Bearcout basketball coach, in relationship to getting two
players back on the team. I think one of them is called Suleiman the
Great from Somalia, and the Ncublea said nah ba baah, nah ba baah.
But also coming up later either today, tomorrow or Thursday, will be
David Yost, the Attorney General, a good friend of Dan Hills, who
is preparing lawsuits and concert with other ags around the country to sue the nc
Doublea. And of course we love it when people are sued, a lot
of money for the lawyers. But until then, Dan Hills, welcome for
one of the last time is ahead of the Fop to the Bill Cunningham Show
and Dan Hills. I got the word from Tony Bender you have about thirty
days remaining in your term. Then you go off from the sunset out the
stud. Can you comment, is that accurate? Well, I'm not gonna
be too far away, Willie. I'm gonna be working with some attorneys.
I know how much you love attorneys and frontline advisors. We're gonna be doing
a lot of the same stuff that I've been doing. I'm gonna be commenting
and supporting police officers whenever possible, So I won't be I won't be all
the way out in the pasture and stud doesn't really come to mind with me
too much. Speaking of supporting police officers, suppose to porting police officers?
Can I petition the Great American to name the police officers of the day.
Yes, give me a name as someone a man or woman who sacrificed life
and limb for the greatness of our land. Who is the co d the
citizen of the day? I am. I'm doing a trifecta today, Willy.
In the village of Ambery, the beautiful village of Amberley, a gentleman
was changing the tire for his daughter, and the jack collapsed on his hand,
and three of Amberley Village's finest came to the rescue and were able to
get quickly get this vehicle off of crushing this gentleman's hand. And that was
police Officer Bobby Ward, police Officer Della Riscoe Summler, and police Officer Brian
Vond. I nominate them to you, the Great American, to see if
you will name them the police officers of the day from the beautiful village of
Amberley. Consider it done. You know, I have a great feeling for
Amberley Village number one at Buffet's Deer Park at number two. The legendary Jack
Monaghan, who was the chief of police and the head of the fire department
there for thirty years, was the man who did at my wife before I
did at Penelope as Brock. Jack Monahan was the one, and after being
with Jack for a while, she says, I got to get with the
Great American. Of course that was back in the good old days. But
nonetheless a great feeling for Amberley Village. Now, before we go any further,
you're trying to butter me up a little bit, your good friend PG.
Pireval gave a state of the City address in which he referenced some of
the shootings going on and talking about how much crime is down. Later today,
I plan in Warren County to give a little speech up there about how
great the folks of Warren County are. That's because of the Prosecutor's office in
David Young, etc. And I'm going to reference the fact that the city
of Cincinnati has some challenges, has some difficulties, especially when the Vice Mayor
says that we have to turn over the any county fairgrounds to lawbreakers so they
have places to do donuts. That's not the approach in Warren County. It's
not the approach Rob Sanders has in Kenton County or in Boone County. But
Jesse Brewer, that's not the approach when wrongdoers shut down I seventy one at
three o'clock in the morning and back up traffic over the BS Bridge. To
me, that's like a serious violation of the law. But by some in
the City of Cincinnati, including Irish Rollie, it's not a big deal at
all. Can you comment on give me the state of the city from the
police officers perspective? You have one more month in office as the president,
the Joe Biden of the FOP until until you go out to a pastor one
more month of glory. What is the state of the city relative to crime?
And on the main streets of Cincinnati, Dan Hills, go Willy Joe
Bidens, who should go out to the pasture and wherever Democrats are in charge,
And unfortunately they're in charge in Cincinnati, there seems to be a lot
of crime. That's why I live where you're going to be visiting, Warren
County. I love Warren County, and I love the city of Cincinnati,
but I hate seeing the Democratic control when you're bragging about the crime going down
or I'm sorry, murders going down by eleven percent, but you're still having
dozens and dozens of murders, including innocent children being murdered, including who knows
what happened on the Western Product with this gentleman whose I would just call a
scientist for lack of a better term. I don't know for sure, but
I'm going to guess that he wasn't involved in a criminal activity. So at
times the city can be a dangerous place. When the wife and I want
to go downtown, will you do where we go When we go downtown,
we feel like going downtown. How about ot R, how about the banks?
How about TQL downtown? No, No, we go to we go
to downtown Loveland, or sometimes we go to downtown eleven. Because even though
I'm authorized as I'm still doing some law enforcement work, I'm authorized to carry
a farm are as all great Americans without SEANI records, I care not to
when I go out and I'm going to have myself a glass of wine or
whatever. I don't want to worry about my car getting broke into, and
I don't want to worry about getting robbed. And so as long as those
worries are there for a guy that's a policeman and knows a little bit about
how to descend himself, I imagine it's there with others too. I don't
want it to be this way. I want to brag on Cincinnati, but
would attend to They tell people it's okay, it's okay to do donuts on
I seventy one. It's okay to get locked up over and over and over
again for weapons under disability because we all don't have the right to carry weapons.
Some people have surrendered that right because of their criminal activity. But does
anything happen to them in handle the county? Generally the answer is no,
WILLI No. So you know that's the problem with Cincinnati. I don't mean
to be so partisan. I have lots of Democratic friends. There's lots of
people who are well attentioned Democrats, but I don't think they're paying attention.
I think there's two great lives being told in society right now. The greatest
of many, many lives, and the one, of course, is that
my little tiny pickup truck is somehow causing global warming. I think that's the
why. I think it's a scam. And I also believe that there's a
scam that the criminal justice system is racist. I think that's just I think
that's a bunch of hogwarsh and it's done to promote to promote democratic agendas,
and so they keep getting sold a bad deal good. And you know what,
in the end, who suffers the most the people that live in these
democratic controlled areas as the criminal justice system is eroded. It's very very sad,
Willie. I have to ask a great America, what can we do
well? Number One, we have to change the politics of major urban areas,
Cincinnati is not unique. Cincinnati is right in line with dayton A,
Chicago, right in line with New York City and Boston where crime is through
the roof. After the George Floyd incident, and you might have seen that
the appeal of Derek Chauvin, the police officer, he presented the autopsy report
that demonstrated that George Floyd had no injuries to his neck or do his breathing
apparatus, which I thought was somewhat shocking. But that's a completely different matter.
But when I read the comments of Irish Rowlie, your good friend,
who runs the Citizens Complaint Authority, she often puts the blame on racist cops
the causes. She says the black community to act out violently with gun because
they are oppressed. So when Iris Rollie, who more or less indirectly is
in charge of police, indirectly says that racist cops calls the black community to
act out violently with guns because they are oppressed, and she uses the word
suppressed, I think she meant oppressed. Nonetheless, that's a problem. And
so when you have a Citizen's Complain Authority emboldened by city council and PG pure
involve to oversee the police department. And the person in charge of the CCA
is Iris Rowley Dan Hills. We got a problem. We got a huge
problem, Willie, the CCA and how it operates. They have no the
investigators have no clue. The board has less than a clue. I mean
sometimes you sit in this board meetings when they review the cases and they give
a thumbs up or thumbs down on the and the thumbs that are always down
for the police officer. A police officer doesn't stand a chance in there.
There's no real representation for police officers before these boards. I've gone in there
and they'll start buzzing me right away at the two or three minutes that you're
allowed to speak. And Iris really can go on for you know, days
and weeks if she'd like. And yeah, you're right in a sense,
she's in charge of the CCA, and a sense, this radical, this
radical police hater is in charge of our police department. And and you know
that's why police officers do less and less proactive work over the years, and
that's why you see them celebrating a eleven percent downturn and holicides when you know
that thing is the homicide rate is so fluid. It has a lot more
to do with how well that you see doctors are doing when they get older,
and how accurate or inaccurate the bad guys shooting is. You know what
never probably gets reported to us hardly ever, guess is when somebody gets shot
at and they don't get hit at all, but we still get lost.
Almost every day in Cincinnati, somebody gets shot. Thankfully, the majority of
the time they're not life uh you know, threatening injuries, but still dozens
of times they are and and and and lives are oft And it's most sad,
of course when innocent people and I I can't believe that an an eleven
year old is anything uh but innocent, And you know, and and that
that just that rocked the people that had to work on it. I heard
secondhand how hard that was of a scene to work. You know, when
when people are out there just indiscriminately firing bullets around, it's it's it's it's
not as safe as as as they want you to believe. I'm not saying
I never go downtown. You know, if if, if if the Great
American were to give me some Bengals tickets, I'd be down there it's a
great American where to give me some uh FD tickets, I'd be I'd be
down there, so I will go downtown. But all in all, it's
just easier and more peace of mind to go places where or safer where you
know that those type of activities uh so so rarely happening, and bring that
you bring it up. And and I have great respect for cops and firefighters
to show up at a scene and they're bleeding out as an eleven year old
boy. Others are shot. I saw in the last week there's been four
retired deputies in Los Angeles who committed suicide. I can't imagine. Your job
is this great people off the pavement of I seventy five. Your job is
to console the mother who just lost their eleven year old son. Your job
is to look into the eyes of a dying person and give them comfort as
they meet their maker. I can't imagine speaking to rape victims who are shrieking
and going through the worst moments of their life. Do you have a concern
It's forty two military men and women kill themselves every day, and because the
thin blue line has gotten thinner, are you concerned about having your troops PTSD
in the City of Cincinnati, your Hamlin County or Warren County, that the
proliferation of suicide by retired cops and on duty cops is rampant, that there's
going to be hundreds of police this year who kill themselves. Please please give
me your comment. Really, it's it's it's been a part of this profession
and always will be, and and all the reasons that you just said.
Why, I mean, I could I could go for hours of the things
that I witnessed in my almost thirty five years with the City of Cincinnati Police
Department. It's things that most people should not have to witness. I think
it's a little bit like going to war, but instead of it being you
know, in a twelve month deployment, it gets the things you witness get
stretched out over years and years, and some people handle it better than others.
Really, I've lost friends. I lost a very close friend of mine
from taking his own life. And you know, there's often other factors,
you know, maybe sometimes it's personal issues and drinking and all that stuff.
But on top of it all is the incredible amount of stress that one has
had to deal with throughout their career. It's it's it's the uh, it's
the icing on the cake that you just don't need. And yeah, but
we need, we need we need people in law enforcement. And that goes
back to the City of Cincinnati, and it's it's absolute stupidity and the way
it supports and and has that c c A and Irish Roley and other anti
police uh types. Taxpayers pay for that. They pay they're activists, they're
anti police activists, and the and and the taxpayers pay for that. And
so the taxpayers are paying for great police officers to go out there and and
and and do their job. And and I'm not against some sort of civilian
oversight, but not when it's ran by anti police activists. It's it's a
hot mess. I I hope that the homicide rate continues to go down.
If all the young people being involved in shootings, Willie, I would not
uh, I would not go and put any money on it. I'm very
afraid for the City of Cincinnati going forward. Lastly, you're gonna complete your
term on December the twentieth. I like to have you on that day or
maybe a day around that, to talk about thirty five years in law enforcement.
What's changed, what's right, what's wrong? How important is it to
have effective judges and prosecutors, et cetera. But Sergeant Dan Hills of the
FOP, I must run man, you and yours continue to have a great
Tuesday afternoon, and thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank
you, Sargent Dan, thank you. It's always a pleasure. Miscaim,
thank you, God bless America. Let's continue with more of your comments.
Five one, three, seven four nine, seven thousand pounds, seven hundred
Billy Cunningham News Radio, seven hundred WLW. Meanwhile, in the enchented forest,
Goldilocks walks into a house. Hello, anyone here and decides to enjoy
an afternoon of listening to Eddie and Rocket. Those guys are Thanye. Here's
incredible guests, amazing news and lots of I showed you. They're funny.
Be careful, Cody, Locks and bears live in that house. Oh they're
harmless. All they do is talk about toilet paper, toilet paper. Yeah,
they're really weird. Bears, Rocky give your day a fairy tale end
da Eddie and Rocky this afternoon to three on seven hundred WLW. Now at
the time to buy your new vehicle at carry automotive dot com, whether you're
in the market for a Toyota, for Buick, gmc Chevy, Nissan,
Mata, VW or Hyundai. The place that my Bully Cunningham, the Great
American and uh In on and off the air, I'm not saying something out
of school on this with Dan Hills. He said, the police right now
in Cincinnati are not proactive. They're not aggressive, they're not looking for crime,
they're not looking to serve warns. There's a particular group, a strike
unit in CP if it's murder, rape, something in that character. Yes,
but many many years ago, five ten years ago, cops would show
up in the district and they would take with them three to five warrants to
look for people while they're not having runs. So a scout car generally is
available on a nine to one to one basis to go and provide services or
if they see something or or secondly, they had three or four warrants in
the car with some background information who they're looking for because someone has skipped out
on bond, or there's an active warrant to arrest somebody because they've been they've
been indicted and these are all felonies. These are not misdemeanors. It's a
canard to say they're looking for somebody smoking a joint. That's not the case.
So cops will do that every day. At any one point, you
might have one hundred and fifty cops on the beat in the city of Cincinnati
out of a thousand, about one hundred and so they were active. They
would get there, they report to the district many times. They wouldn't have
to change clothes. They're ready to go, and they have a little bit
of a roll call. Okay, this is what we're going to do.
Look out for this, look out for that. Take three or four warrants
with you, and let's go. So they go into their scout cars,
they pull off and they wait for a shall we say, a nine to
one one call, or they sit at a traffic intersection, or they keep
their eyes open and see what's going on. And if things see a little
bit slow, they don't eat donuts. What a coup will do. Look
at the warrants. He just picked up three of them to be served in
or someone arrested, and they would okay, this person was last located to
this address in my district and they begin investigations as far as to find that
person. None of that stuff happens anymore. That's called proactive policing. Now
the same officers show up over their shoulder. It got iron ROLLI of the
CCA Citizens Complain Authority, in which there will be hundreds of complaints filed every
year against police for being disrespectful, or using the F bomb, or doing
something else wrong, speeding and complaints filed. There's an administrative agency in the
city called the CCA Citizens Complain Authority, And when anyone, for any reason
files a civil complaint against a police officer, they have to go to a
hearing sit there for one to two hours for their case to be called.
And then they sit there and the citizen complains about what the cop did or
what the cop didn't do. There's a hearing held might take one to two
to three hours, the cops sitting there, and then they might make a
finding of confirmed or not confirmed, and then it goes up to the city
manager and there's a process after that. After going through that for several times
a year, the cops have lost their case. They don't want to keep
going through the process of CCA. In the good old days there was internal
affairs, and of course the prosecutor's office would indict cops if they did something
seriously wrong. But if your second guest constantly on minor crap, the message
is sent by the administration in the city of Cincinnati that, you know what,
don't be aggressive, don't chase someone down an alley at two o'clock in
the morning, don't arrest someone. And they have to use a little bit
of violence to arrest somebody who didn't want to be arrested. It's called passive
policing. And right now Cincinnati has passive policing, not active, not aggressive,
not proactive. Doesn't happen that way anymore. And cops will tell you
that that we've gotten a message that we're not gonna serve warrants unless we have
to, and we're going to be very slow. We're going to take our
time because we're going to get sued. We're going to before the CCA,
which the prosecutor's office, Melissa Powers and Joe Dieters will tell cops do not
give statements to the CCA, because if that person some is indicted, we
don't want a cop making an out of court declaration subject across examination so the
lawyers are telling the cops don't give testimony before the CCA. The citizens complain
authority don't do that, and so one side is given, the other side
isn't. A file is built up on a police officer, so if he
makes a split second life and death decision and he might be wrong, you
pull out the file and say, look at all the charges this cops had
against him. Oh my god, he's a bad cop. The message is
sent, calm down, relax. One can walk through Washington Park or my
great great great grandfather William Cunningham aka Old Cunny, did his work as a
grave robber in the eighteen seventies. But that's a different story. If you
want to google something, google William Cunningham grave robber, that's a different story.
You can walk through Washington Park now on a summer's day and see pot
smoking everywhere, which is illegal. You can see syringes everywhere. It's not
a family friendly environment. I've been told I've not done this on Fountain Square.
Walk through Fountain Square and see individual smoking pot. You ask cops about
that and he said, well, we're told not to pay attention to that,
even though it's illegal. It's just like drinking booze in public, even
after marijuana it's been declared to be legal starting in December the seventh. But
nonetheless cops are getting the message, don't be proactive, calm it down.
So that's the reason that many arrest are down, not because there's less crime,
but there's less enforcement. And the way to lower the crime rate is
to redefine what is a crime. When the vice mayor, the vice president,
the second in command of council says that when individuals burn rubber and donuts
on I seventy one or in and around Fountain Square OTR, that's okay.
In other words, let's give them space at the Amy County Fairgrounds to break
the law. That's the attitude of city council. Give them space. And
I had hopes for Scottie Johnson, who was a cop for like thirty years
before he retired, and he gets elected a council. Scottie Johnson is a
good heart. That man has lost his way. He is infected with the
virus of liberal progressivism, in which the way to declinalize crime is to pass
laws making more activities not a crime. That's why there's fewer arrest, there's
less crime I'm not being committed, but less crime individuals being held accountable.
There's the problem. And so Sergeant Dan, who leaves office in about five
weeks, has seen it all in thirty five years. That are proactive.
Let's get to work, crack down on the criminal element, serve warrants,
arrest people. Judges has said, high bonds. The message is sent to
the criminal element, which is numerically large but statistically small, that guess what,
We're not going to enforce the law anymore. And after what Sonny Kim
went through in Madisonville, it is particularly important for look at cops to say,
am I going to go to a man with the gun call as Sonny
Kim did in Madisonville and get killed and have a funeral? Answers no,
And so cops are told directly and indirectly, don't enforce the law unless it's
a very serious matter. Like most Americans, you and I believe in the
broken window theory of law enforcement, deal with this small stuff so it doesn't
become the big stuff. In Cincinnati, they're not doing that anymore. It
doesn't work that way. So or in trouble, I look straight ahead,
there's a Israeli Jewish march right now in the nation's capital. I see in
front of the Washington Monument. I had the honor of being on the balcony
of the speaker with Nuke Ingrich looking across that scene, and it is unbelievable.
That's because of the kindness of John Bahner and Rob Portman. I did
my show from the balcony of the speaker looking down the mall. I'm looking
down the mall now on CNN. Well, I like to monitor the enemy,
and there's nothing but families, Israeli flags, American flags. No yelling,
no shouting, no desecration of public monuments, no graffiti. The Jews
are saying, we're here and we're not leaving. Try out with the Palestinians
Hamas chapter, where there's massive lawlessness, you get a different vision. But
I look at that and I'm thinking that's the way one should demonstrate and protest
whatever it might be you want to protest. But nonetheless, every city within
the sound of my voice. In fact, of the fifty counties with the
fifty largest cities contained within their boundaries, forty nine of the fifty are controlled
by democratic prosecutors. The only one not is this one. Hamilton County,
and we have a prosecutor, we had one with Joe Dieters, now Melissa
Powers, who were really enforced the law. How many times did you hear
Joe Dieters say, Look, if you don't want the death penalty, take
it off the books. If you don't want arrest for marijuana use in public,
take it off the books. If you don't want to arrest for domestic
violence, beating up your girlfriend or wife or mother, whatever it might be,
Joe Dieters would say, take it off the books. I'm here to
enforce the law. That's what I do. As long as we have a
prosecutor like a Melissa Powers who will say, look, I can't arrest people,
but once they're arrested, I will enforce the law. Triffin Callus is
her top guy down there in near the Hamley County Courthouse and they're building and
he will tell you that. Right now, we have fewer prosecutions because there's
fewer people getting arrested because cops are being told, especially in the city,
to stand down. I'm okay, you're okay, don't arrest, don't go
through it. Cops are happy to do what they're told to do. Cops
are military types generally who are want to enforce the law. They know generally
what the law is. But when the leadership of the city says, don't
arrest people for committing crime marijuana, etc. We got a problem, goes
Melissa can't prosecute unless cops arrest, and damn it, she wants to prosecute
this kid. I'm gonna have her on either Wednesday or Thursday to talk about
this young man doing donuts on I seventy one. That is dangerous. But
city leadership said, don't arrest anybody. So the next time it happens,
which might be tonight, What are cops to do when city leadership who employ
them say, don't arrest them. When you see drug use in public,
don't arrest them. When the City of Cincinnati sues the State of Ohio wanting
to doing to force its own Second Amendment rights, that somehow that the storage
of a legally possessed weapon or some other aspect of the Second Amendment needs to
be different than what federal courts say, we got a problem. If somebody
would drive from the Ohio River, if you go from Kenton County over the
BS Bridge and in the city of Cincinnati. You have two different jurisdictions.
You got Rob Sanders and you got Melissa Powers. You have the chief of
police and Covington the chief of police in Cincinnati, different laws. Then if
one would drive up seventy one, suddenly you're in the city of Norwood by
PF Changs. What if Norwood then has a different Second Amendment law than the
city of Cincinnati and Kenton County and you're in the same car. What is
the law? And then you leave Norwood and suddenly you're in Columbia Township.
Okay, what's the law in Columbia Township? Well, I don't know.
Then you leave Columbia Township and go to Sycamore Township. Control it with an
iron grip by Tom Weaedman. What's the law in Sycamore Township? Then after
that you find your in Madeira. What's the law in the city of Madeira?
Do they have their own gun rights legislation in Madeira? Then you leave
Madeira head toward the city of Montgomery, then the city of Blue Ash,
then the city of Evendale. That's not the way it works. Someone's got
to tell the city leaders you can't enact your own Second Amendment rules. And
regulations a person with a weapon are governed by the Second Amendment to the US
Constitution, which is federal. You can't have each city, each township,
each county enacting its own gun protection ordinances or statutes because the system collapses.
Does anyone in the City of Cincinnati realize this? I know Rob Sanders does.
Who. By the way, lost a bet to me and I'm still
winning to be paid. But that's a different story. The bet was who's
going to be the next governor of Kentucky over my objections? And he be
share one, he thought Coleman. Nonetheless, I won. Let's move on.
Nonetheless, you can't have under federal law, different jurisdictions enacting different rules
and regulations up and down Interstate highways are up and down Route forty two.
It doesn't work that way. Allright, let's set up what's coming forward today.
After one o'clock today, we scheduled David Yost, the Attorney General,
because of a brief conversation I had with one of the alcoholytes of the UC
basketball program, Wes Miller, and before the election, David said, let's
talk after the election. We are after the election. Plus I'm going to
ask him the question about the proposal of one of the leaders of Butler County
about what's going to happen with abortion, and that is that there are some
Republicans in Columbus who want to take away the ability of the court system to
interpret the Constitution of statutes. What with every fiber in my being, I
agree with lawmakers in Columbus who don't like the results of the election on State
Issue one. I'm with them one thousand percent. But most importantly, we're
a nation of laws, not of men and women. That means when the
people vote, and assuming the vote is legal and constitutional. With State Issue
one and State Issue iiO were and are, we follow what the people want.
We get the government we deserve. I do not want the third branch
of government, the judges, to be ruled out of existence by the Republicans
in Columbus, even though their goal is one that I agree with, which
is killing as few healthy unborn babies as possible. But nonetheless it's the law.
Don't like it. I'll work to convince the hearts and minds to change
their viewpoint on that, seemingly without much success, but the fight, the
persuasion continues. That's why pregnancy centers right now should get lots of support from
those who are so called pro life. Let's continue with more coming up in
about ten minutes. We'll be Attorney General David Jost. We've scheduled Wes Miller
to be here in about forty five minutes and more. Twelve fifty four,
Homie your Reds and Bengals. Bengals have a bigger than Montana game Thursday night.
I think the Bengals are like a four or five point dog. We'll
see what happens. Comes at a bad time, a little bit beaten up,
as are the Bengals, but as are the Ravens also, and so
Bengals lose that game. Their backs are against the wall. Let's continue.
Twelve fifty four HOMEI your Bengals, News Radio seven hundred. You ought of
you. It's a prime time slubber knockers. The Bengals and Ravens are looking
for redemption after a heart breaking losses hard that's gonna be that. It's jow
Borrow versus Lamar Jackson in a heated conference showdown, Bye Teddith heats for the
end town touchdown. Kenny Orange and Black Atteck, what'sed up Baltimore's words.
Get the cool life from Dan Wood and deve Lena. Incredital coverage starts Thursday
at four on seven hundred WLS, the home of the best Bengals coverage.
Nothing says welcome home like conversation on and off the air with our Attorney General,
David Yost of Delaware County, I might am, in which he had
sent a rather appointed letter to the NCUBA discussing the issue of those two uc
Bearcat basketball players that were denied eligibility for reasons that are species at best.
Joining us Now somewhere in the wilds of Houston, Texas, possibly near the
southern border, is the great David Yost, our attorney General. And now
it's a few days after the election. You had threatened to sue the nc
double A. What is the status of getting these two players reinstated? If
anything, well, as you know, their administrative appeals or at least disease.
His administrative appeal was denied by the NCUBA, so I think it's time
to go to court. We are in discussions with some other attorneys general around
the country, a bipartisan group who are alarmed at the anti competitive, high
handed ways of the NCUBA. It may be more than just Ohio head of
the federal court here in the next week or so. Are we talking about
maybe several half a dozen a dozen other states? Are you now organizing other
ags to get these young men the opportunity to play is out. Why you're
in Texas, We're in discussions with other states. And that's all I'm prepared
to say at the moment. But I will tell you that I've already reviewed
a draft of a complaint in federal court and ye, hey, if the
NCAA wants to fight instead of talk, baby, I know how to fight,
no question. In fact, you're awfully successful on these multi state lawsuits.
What essentially is the argument you want to make that these two young men,
who I think this would be their a second or third transfer, What
essentially is the argument other than normally in life these young men, they're not
children. I think they're twenty two to twenty three years old. If somebody
in your office wanted to go and work somewhere else in a big time law
firm, you probably couldn't stop him from doing it. And then if you're
in that law firm for like a year and they want to go work for
another law firm or going back into government. The restraint of trade laws indicate
that you have freedom to move. And so he said, what is your
argument, Well, it's that you've just summed it up. You're you're not
allowed to control where other people go and what they do. Now, clearly
the n c A has some basis to want to not have people jumping in
the middle of a season. Okay, I think everybody'd agree with that,
And that's similar to a non compete, you know, the Gray Willie Cunningham.
I'm guessing I don't know, but I'm guessing that there is a line
somewhere in a contract that says you're not allowed to have work for a different
radio station in Cincinnati, if there are any left, and so there are
there are. There are legitimate reasons to have a limited geography and a limited
time frame for that kind of a non compete thing. But this goes way
beyond that, and it's arbitrary. It's a restraint of trade and violates both
state and federal law. And instead of doing what they ought to do,
which is sit down and say, how do we reimagine them the NCAA for
a modern environment, they're doubling down and saying we're not going to change.
You can't make us. And essentially, in the good old days, these
basketball players a great note. We're not paid, at least directly above the
table to play basketball, and so you received a free college education in some
books, and maybe fifteen dollars a month to have your laundry done. Now
in today's world, I don't know this at all. I'm going to talk
with Wes Miller at some point, the head coach. I would imagine these
young men are making like one hundred thousand dollars a year to play basketball at
UC, on which they'll pay taxes. They're, like any other workers,
having not signed a non compete anywhere, have the right to give their services
to anyone who is willing to pay the freight and get her done. And
so unlike in year's past, you could say, well, there's no money
involved, but possibly it takes away my opportunity to play basketball in the NBA
or in Turkey or in Germany. But in today's world, the fact they're
paid six figures a year to play basketball, and they're paid that over like
a five month period, and by the way we're starting the season is really
there is train of economic trade. Isn't the argument better for you now that
these young men are actually paid money in a sense to work, and this
is keeping them from making a living. Well, to draw a lawyer's distinction,
they're not actually paid to play basketball. They're compensated for the use of
their name, image, and likeness. Of course that only has value because
they play basketball. So it's a distinction only a lawyer could love. But
yeah, I think it's a it's a different world out there now after the
Austin decision, which actually has the seeds of destruction in it for the ncuba's
current model. Uh, you know, the case is really strong. I
honestly haven't talked to an anti trust expert who thinks that we don't have a
really good case. So we'll see where it goes. But you know,
I know that they know that they're doing wrong because they're down in the halls
of Congress trying to get an anti trust exemption and et ceteral law passed through
Congress. Right, Well, you don't do that if you think you're on
Tarra firma. You only do that if you realize we're way out over our
skis. So the nc double A is as we speak this Tuesday afternoon,
is working in Washington to make it more legal to restrain trade. They know
they got a problem. Is the NCAA gotten ahold of the Ohio Attorney General
to talk about anything or simply issued a press release saying we're not gonna talk.
Are negotiations underway? I got a letter from them talking about me and
the horse that I wrote in on So yeah, no, no noticiations.
Will this be in state court or federal court? It remains to be seen.
I'm thinking probably federal court. But well you'll see that when we file.
And as you know, it's a complicated decision, right and so David
Yost, the Attorney General, this decision has got to come down soon by
you and the other ags because the season is ongoing, and so you can't
wait a month or two or three. So you anticipate this happening within the
next few days, well, certainly within the next couple of weeks. I
want you to understand that the players themselves have a private cause of action.
They can go to court and seek a tro just about them. You know,
the Attorney General is enforcing antitrust law against a major national organization called the
NC Double A. And while I get the importance of moving quickly, we
also have to be right in the way we do it, and we should
have to extent we can bring allies with us in the Federal Court from other
states. That makes our positions stronger. So we're moving as quickly as we
can consistent with getting this job done, because this once we engage the fight,
we've got to bring home a victory, no question. No. Lastly,
I know you're down there in Houston, Texas. Yesterday Channel nine did
a story about stripping Ohio courts of the power to put tacked abortion eliminated by
the passage of status. Who won. Representative Jennifer Gross I had on Mike
DeWine about three or four days ago, and I brought this up to Mike.
I'm sorry, the governor Mike DeWine, and I said, Governor,
there's going to be a movement to strip the courts of subject matter jurisdiction.
He said, Look, courts have always interpreted the Constitution. I would veto
anything of that character because we voted on this thing. Is this too fresh
to wondering in this area with you as the age or do you stand with
Governor Mike DeWine, Or do you stand with Representative Jennifer Gross who wants to
strip through the legislature the courts are reviewing abortion laws. Well, look,
there's a big, fat, serious separation the powers problem there. You can't
violate the constitution of the state bypass the statute. And you know, while
the legislative authority is given to the General Assembly, the judicial authority is given
to the courts. And you know, we'll we'll see. I mean,
there's a peace in Jennifer's bill, at least the draft that I saw that
basically it makes it an impeachable offense. I don't I don't really know how
that would work. Just color me skeptical. Well, I just don't see
how that could be accomplished. I don't, you know, with every fiber
in my being, I agree with her as far as abortion, which is
killing unborn babies that are generally healthy ninety nine, every fiber in my being
says to Jennifer, I agree with the goal, But to get there,
you've got to violate America law. And I can only imagine what the federal
courts will do under the Fourteenth Amendment if Ohio would seek to strip the ability
of courts to review constitutional matters. I can only imagine how far that would
fly, which not very far, but I kind of like where she's headed
as far as substantively but procedurally, it would violate state law, federal law,
international law, every law. But we'll see what happens. All right.
Well, once again, David Yos, thanks for coming on the Bill
Cunningham Show. And we wish you nothing but success in this case against the
NCAA. And as you said, the two players have private causes of action
that they can act on quickly without all the state's AG's getting involved. Is
that correct? That's absolutely correct, and from what I'm hearing, that may
not be far off. All right, David Yost, Attorney General, thank
you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show this wonderful Tuesday afternoon. David Yost,
thank you very much. Good to talk to you. Thank you,
God bless America. Let's continue with more line becomes available five one, three,
seven, four nine seven thousand or pounds seven hundred new at and T.
And I agree with everything Jennifer Gross is trying to do. I get
that it was a mistake, it was an error, but Nonetheless, Jennifer,
to take away the ability of courts to rule on the constitutionality of a
statute is something that's almost anti American. You got to have some arbitrator with
a whistle in and a zebra shirt calling fouls, you know, umpires,
balls and strikes, And so what she wants to do is take out of
the playing field the umpire and I guess, let the batter call his own
strikes and balls. You have three branches of government. You got the lawmakers,
you got the law enforcers. Who's the governor, and you have the
constitutional law deciders as far as whether a statute violates to Ohio constitution. Whether
I like it or not, and I hate it with every part of a
fiber of my being that Ohio now is going to have a law soon which
is abortion on demand from conception all the way through birth for any reasons determined
by a planned parenthood doctor who's performing the abortion. Yes, your health would
be affected, your financial health, your emotional health. But we have a
system in place. I agree with her substantially about abortion one. But to
say to the court system in Ohio, you can't act on the constitutionality of
a statute is wrong. So let's see what happens. Coming up later,
We've scheduled Wes Miller. We'll see what occurs. Bill Cunningham News Radio seven

you noticed that interest rates continue to drop at McKinley Mortgage almost every day?
Listen up, my fellow Americans. McKinley Mortgage continues to tell families pay off
credit card debt and save off total debt seven hundred to twenty three hundred dollars
per month. There was a family that saved that twenty three hundred dollars per
month off total debt because they called McKinley Mortgage. And don't assume you won't
qualify just because you found yourself and a lot of debt. This is a
perfect time to refinance at McKinley. Close your refinance by December the tenth day
before my birthday, December the tenth. Get to skip your December and January
mortgage payments. Those moneys go directly in your pocket. New loan payment not
due first one until February of twenty twenty four. Listen up, interest rates
have improved for the last two weeks. Even when you lock your loan at
McKinley, if rates improve, you can lower your rate. How about that?
Unbelievable? And if you currently have a second mortgage or a home equity
line of credit, rates may have skyrocketed, but not at McKinley Mortgage.
Call McKinley the REFINANCEI the lower fixed rate. And if you've been turned down
by a local bank or credit union, call McKinley Mortgage Now, Paul look
at McKinley closes loans for customers that were turned down by other lenders. Once
again, if the rates drop after you've locked, you get to go to
the lower rate. How big is that? Quit dealing without a state lenders.

the head coach of your UC Bearcats walking in the shoes. They're playing my
alma mater Sunday. So watch out n KU baby, Norse up. I'll
make a bet with you on that one. I'll take you see it.
I'll give you n K you for a hot fut Sunday. See what the
coach says, Wes Miller, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And I
don't know, coach, did you hear the Attorney General talk about the program
about a half an hour ago. I actually have not heard it. I
was in a staff meeting and then I had a press conference. So what
do you say, Well, well, you know it's on the podcast.
Essentially, David Yost is on your side one thousand percent. He finds himself
as I speak in Houston, Texas, speaking to other national Attorney Generals to
begin a multi approach, I guess against the NCAA, all of what's happening
your two players. And he also said each player has their own individual causes
of action which they may now employ because time is a wasting So Wes Miller,
can you tell the American people why you're kind of fired up. What's
happening to these two players, including the one from Santagal. What's the latest?
Yeah, just really discouraged right now with the process and the way that
the NCAA has treated these two student athletes. It's obviously our organize, our
overarching body in college athletics that oversees all this stuff, and you know,
I believe their mission is to look after student athletes first and their well being
and their mental health. They created a process last January, really kind of
got the information out about it last spring, trying to restrict second time transfers.
And I'll be honest with you, guys, I don't really think that's
the issue. That's a separate issue in itself. But they created the process
to restrict second time transfers. They said that there were three avenues that they
would allow it, one of them being a mental health waiver with seven different
guidelines. Our players meet those guidelines. I don't even think it's arguable they
made their life decisions to leave where they were to come here based upon those
guidelines and how they fit into those. And then to find out we submitted
the waivers back in August for both kids we don't find out about one player
till after games even start. We still haven't found out about our second player.
Jamill Reynolds, like you just start to ask yourself a little bit,
what are we doing here? We're affecting young kids' lives, and certainly there's
some mental health things, or we wouldn't even be in this situation. But
now it's so much worse. You know that the body that's supposed to look
after kids, that they've made it for these two that I deal with every
day, they've made their lives so much more difficult. And it's also been
difficult on our program. And I'm not a guy that sits up and complaints
and whines. I don't do that, but but this is self that it's
not right, that it's not fair, and I think what's going on here
is we're trying to use these frontline kids as examples for the next crop of
student athletes. And I'm not okay with that. I don't care what your
stance on transfer or not transfer, I'm not okay with using my guys as
examples. If you didn't want people to transfer, tell them that, tell
them, you know, but to put them in this position isn't right,
guys. And the other issue is this is that they're young men. There
I don't know other age is twenty one, twenty two, twenty three,
and they're young men. And they came here under the auspices of the NCAA
and they said, now, I'm sure you Another council looked at the parameters
of the exclusions, the exemptions, et cetera, and said, okay,
these kids apply, and so you did not make certain recruitment visits, you
did not go after certain players because of your expectation. These two players,
which followed the rules, would be admitted to play possibly their last year in
college. They moved themselves in one case from Utah. I don't know why
the hell anybody want to live in Utah. That's a different issue completely.
To come to a functional part, which is Cincinnati, which is kind of
interesting and fun, ready to play basketball. I would assume there's a little
bit of nel money involved. That used to be if you got a tattoo,
you were drawn and quartered, but now most players get one hundred grand.
They're twenty two to twenty three years old, they followed the guidelines,
followed the rules, they get the hundred grand whatever that number is ready to
play basketball. Wes Miller says, I'm not going to recruit that kid.
I'm not going after the segment from Middletown. I'm not going after Cunningham from
Deer Park. I got these two kids coming in. They follow the guidelines.
Let's go play basketball. Here we are now in the middle of November,
and you're still left in the dark. There's no substantive due process.
There's no procedural due process. There's no due process at all. And even
though I'm a xavior guy, it's kind of pissing me off. Well,
you got it one hundred percent right, and uh, I think that's that's
a little That's exactly how I feel. It doesn't matter where your allegiances are.
We all want kids and student athletes to be treated fairly. You know.
I mean I could, I could go on about this in so many
different directions. I probably have, you know, but you got it exactly
right. This is unfair. It's not right. And I'll go beyond to
say this, guys, if if they made a mistake, if they broke
a rule or cross the line, let's hold them accountable. That's the lesson
we all have to learn. We got to teach our kids there. Let's
hold what have they done wrong? What are we holding them accountable for?
It's actually the opposite of what we what I do. Now, we're holding
them accountable for something that they have nothing to do with, and it just
isn't right, and I think we're sending the wrong messages to student athletes and
the young people. Wes Miller lastly the Attorney General, and I urge you
to listen to the podcast. It'll be up at three o'clock today, and
he said each of the kids have individual claims of all kinds of suppressing of
their talent. If Bill Cunningham wants to go to some other radio station,
if Segment Dennison wants to go work for a CPO, we have a clause
in our contract that allows it to be bought out. If Wes Miller is
going to be selected by Michigan to go coach at Michigan, there's probably a
clause in your contract that said, okay, it's ten million bucks, you
can go. But we're telling these twenty two year old young men that you
work there, you get paid to work there, and you can't leave.
And if you do leave, you have to follow the rules. And when
you follow the rules, we're going to tell you still can't go. Oh.
And that's not the way to treat these young men. And they should
be treated like any other employee. If somebody's working for craft Electric and they
want to go work for Craftsmen Electric, they can simply leave. And if
something in the contract says you can't leave for six months or you got to
pay this, then get it done. Pay it. But these kids have
signed no agreement to pay any penalty. It's not a non compete whatsoever.
They relied upon the rules, and the rules make or screwed, blue tattooed
and barbecue them. And that's not the way it's supposed to be. They
have individual claims they can file, they have a class action. David Yo's,
the Attorney General, said he's got many other ags. This may play
out over the next several months, and so then it becomes moot, doesn't
it. That's correct. I mean, I'm I support anything to stand by
our players anything, you know, and I'm going to stand by them,
and I'm not gonna get silent on this. You know, We're going to
stand by our young people. If things play out over a long period of
time. Every day right now, they're being affected, you know, in
basketball is not I love your analogies right about the restrictions on these players,
but not on the rest of us in the real world. But basketball is
even different because you can't play basketball until you're sixty or seventy years old,
but we can in the job that we are. There is a time frame,
like there's a picking clock physically, and these guys have futures beyond college.
We're just cutting into that. There's so many levels of this, and
I'll go even one step further. You know, you talk about not being
able to leave freely. Well as E's ban Diego, who left Utaw Valley
State is head coach Mark Madison's at CAL and I bet that's a heck of
a lot better the deal to be the head coach at Cal than Utaw Valley
State. It worked out pretty well for Mark Madison. All the players go.
Look, all the best players on that team transferred are playing for other
universities. Now. Jamille Reynolds, the head coach that he went to play
for, got let go by Temple, So the same guy that recruited him
betting there and all the kids on that team matriculated to other big time programs
and they're playing for other teams. Right, So not only not only is
it not right, these these guys' entire support systems and all their friends they
all left and they've been a visit from the success at those places. Why
can't these these guys. It's just there's so many layers to it. And
I really appreciate somebody in the media, like actually down in the bell here,
I really appreciate you, and not just talking about the basic layers to
it. There's so many levels of this that you aren't right now. Well,
I mean, you know Mark Madsen, he played for you, Tah,
my good friend Rick Majeris, and uh now, Mark Madsen's a Harry
s Man. I would assume he's in his forties or fifties by this point,
making millions and millions of dollars. Here's this kid from Senegal who didn't
want to stick with the other coach that came in, I would imagine,
and you recruited him. You said, well, follow the rules, you
can play. All of a sudden, then Santa Bale says, well,
no, no, you can't play. It's a it's a ticking time clock
that in about another month or two is going to cost this kid maybe millions
of dollars. He did nothing wrong. Wes Miller, you're a great American

and Colrain and Josh Chevrolet dot Com. Hey neat cash for the holidays want
to be including Taiwan, including the fact that China is having literally tons of
heroin and fentanyl brought across the southern border, the theft of secrets from this
country corporate and otherwise through the roof. There's Chinese police stations in many major
American cities existing to keep an eye on Chinese nationals inside this country. According
to Ali Bradley and others with News Nation, literally there's thousands of Chinese who
have legally come across the southern border disperse all over the country. China's spy
balloons are flying all over the world, including the United States, of America.
There's so many issues, and I hope that Joe Biden mentally has his
strength in order to bring these things up, not just talk about them,
but talk about what will you do to correct this? And one other issue
is that there are at least three Americans held in Chinese prisons, some for
many, many years under spurious charges. And Emily Finn, Emily Finn is
What News Nation and she's going to discuss with us now about those Americans that
are that are locked wrongfully in control of the Chinese Communist Party. Emily Finn,
Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Emily tell us about these Americans
wrongfully detained in China. Well, Bill, first of all, thank you
so much for having me on your show. You know, I actually our
newsation team was just in Cincinnati a few weeks ago. We were covering the
Ringling circuit. So it's great to be broadcasting to all of your listeners there
in Cincinnati. Yeah, this is this is a pretty big deal this week.
The last time that Hu Jinping was on us was back in twenty seventeen.
And as we know, Bill, there has been a lot of developments,
a lot of things have changed a lot of escalating tensions between the US
and China and just that short amount of time. So the biggest thing we
had a chance to talk with one of the family members. It was the
mother of Mark swed Dan. He's one of the three Americans that the US
is considered to be wrongfully detained in China right now, and the families are
really hoping that talks of their release are going to be on the table for
discussion. But as you mentioned, I mean, you listed off so many
different examples of things that Biden and she are going to be talking about.
They told me that they're not feeling too optimistic that the Americans that are being
wrongfully detained their potential release is actually actually going to come up in their conversation.
So we know Kylee that's another one of the three. He's been in
prison there since twenty seventeen, and David Lynn has been there since two thousand
and six. So this is something they have been getting promises and promises from
multiple administrations that they were going to continue to work to try to bring them
home, and it's just kind of been on the back burner for so many
years with everything else that you know that the US and China are trying to
come to some kind of see eye to eye on So, like I said,
I had a chance to speak with Mark Sudan's mother, Catherine. She
is just kind of at her WIT's end here, Bill, I mean,
she is saying that she has been asking and asking to see him. She
hasn't heard from him in months. She had no idea how he's doing.
The last that she heard, he had some injuries. He had injuries to
his hands and injuries to his legs. He lost about half of his body
weight during his time that he's been in Chinese prison, and he's actually missing
fifteen teeth as well, according to his mother. So she has some serious
concerns. But the one thing, and I encourage all of your listeners to
tune into News Nation because we do such compelling reporting like this all the time.
The one thing in our conversation that we played on our air was from
Catherine, from his mother, and she didn't want to lead to President Biden
to do anything. She's, like I said, at her wits end,
exhausted all all options to try to appeal to the US to step up and
do something here. So she actually pleaded to President She directly, she had
said, I'm quoting here looking at you know, at the SoundBite that we
ran earlier today. She said, with all due respects, I hope you're
gracious and have mercy and show the world that your country can come together with
the US and release these men. I hope that this conversation does come up
while the two are meeting in San Francisco. But as you said, Bill,
there is so much more to speak about. Well, at this point,
the APEX Summit is happening in San Francisco. Tomorrow is the big powwow.
On the dinner and I read this interesting story about jijau Ping some forty
some years ago went to Iowa and he spent time as part of some agricultural
transfer, and he spent time living with an Iowa family in and around farms.
And I'm reading this story and am I reading this correctly? And I
read it twice, And he spent like three to four months in Iowa,
and he's inviting the family from Iowa to have dinner with them in San Francisco
on Thursday. I'm thinking, now, that is incredibly interesting, and that
really checks out with everything that our NewsNation team has been reporting on when it
comes to China trying to steal agricultural technology. We were actually just in Iowa
a few months ago reporting on this. There was a Chinese national that was
literally digging up seeds from the soil in Iowa and trying to use that patented
technology here in the US to send back to China. And so and the
farms here, I mean there are farms in Michigan, there are farms in
other parts of the country that are completely owned by Chinese companies. And as
we know, a Chinese company has ties to the CCP, it's written in
their bylaws. So it really it comes down to the American people to really
pay attention to what's happening in their own backyard, especially when it comes to
the agricultural perspective, because China they're sneaky. You know, the double works
hard, but the CCP works harder, Bill, and they're going to do
everything they can to try to infiltrate American way of life. And the spine's
been going on for forty to fifty years and it's accelerating. But they have
a future leader Shijao Ping in an Iowa farm putting seeds in his pockets in
nineteen eighty four and Ronald Reagan was the president, and this has gone on
now for more than forty years. Getting back to Mark Swedan and ky Lee
and David Lynn, did they commit crimes If some American in Beijing robs a
bank or rapes a woman or beat somebody in the head, that's one thing.
What kind of things did these three Americans allegedly do? Well? I
know a lot about Mark Speedan, and so I want to talk about this
indent because it's really interesting. He's being accused of drug charges and what that
carries in Beijing is the death sentence. And so just back in April,
they actually suspended that for another two years. So it gives him a little
bit more time, gives uh, frankly, it gives Biden a little bit
more time to be able to bring him home, be able to get him
out of that situation. But what's truly interesting about this. We talked about
this a bit bell sentinel. It's coming into our country from China. So
it's a bit ironic that you know that market is facing these drug charges,
and that is the one thing that so far that we've seen, you know,
in the in the pre talks, between between she and Biden that they
have come to some kind of an agreement that they're going to crack down on
the sentinel that's coming into the US. But what does that mean. That's
a very vague term. We don't know how that's actually going to be implemented
quite yet. And all the experts that I seed talking about this meeting,
they say that we can't really expect to see too much action from it.
It's it's more of a show of trying to come together as two countries,
like like I had said earlier, to try to see eye to eye on
a bunch of things that we we certainly don't right now. But it's going
to be interesting to see if there actually is some action put into place when
the two are able to speak side by tomorrow. Well, Emily Fenn of
News Nation, I the Chinese internally talk about poisoning the Americans, tying them
down, having more people die of fentanyl overdoses, get more Americans hooked on
heroin or other drugs, help to fund the drug cartels on the southern border.
And Ali Bradley of your Operation does a great job on the southern border.
It's part of their national policy to destroy America through drug use and also
theft. And I can't imagine that the meeting tomorrow in San Francisco is going
to cause Joe Biden to actually have a retribution toward the communist red Chinese in
any area of life. I can only imagine how weak and frail he is.
I can't imagine anything good's going to come with this. But it would
be simple to release Mark Swedan and Kylie and David Lynn, assuming and in
one case, Leed's been in prison since twenty eighteen, Lyn's been there for
about seventeen years. Why not let the Americans go as a gesture of goodwill.
And if that doesn't happen, they're gonna keep selling drugs. They're gonna
keep the spy balloons coming, They're gonna continue to have Chinese police stations modern
monitoring Chinese inside this country. They're gonna keep stealing our corporate and other secrets.
They have one hundred and fifty thousand Chinese students in colleges and universities right
here paid for by the CCP, gathering information. It is a huge,
terrible problem. And I hope we begin to process tomorrow and Thursday of changing
that just a little bit, but I doubt it. I mean, I
like to think the Tiger's going to change his tripes, but I kind of
doubt it. But Emily Finn, what would be a success if come Friday
this this big powwow, the Apex summit. What would be considered a success
because the Chinese, I strongly suspect, are not going to change what they're
doing anyway. That is a really, really great question, Bill, And
I just want to make one point here. You said it's so great my
colleague Ali Bradley is doing such an incredible job on our border, and that's
what we're seeing a lot of the problems, you know, with the drugs,
you know, coming from China down there. And I also want to
say, I think it's a bit interesting that of all cities in the United
States, those to our meeting in San Francisco, where they have perhaps one
of the worst sentinel crisises in the entire country. I know, Gavin Newsom
definitely put in a lot of effort to clean up the city and make sure
all the tents far out of the way make it look nice for us for
she to come visit. But what would make it a success? We got
to we got to get a game plan together. We got to see some
action. We can't just have words anymore. We can't just have, you
know, good ideas. We have to have something in writing, some kind
of a commitment, and something that U that she and Biden are going to
be able to agree to that is going to be beneficial for both countries.
That I don't know if that's going to happen. I would have to agree
with you, especially given the close relationship that we see with She and Putin
right now, there is a lot of things going on on the other side
of the world that we're going to have to see how this plays out,
and we're going to have to be very very careful with the way that we're
interacting with our foreign adversaries. Well. Lastly, the CCP sends a party
operatick who spent his youth in a cave because his father was on the outs
with the Cultural Revolution. When he came out of the cave, he joined
the Communist Party. It took him forty five to fifty years to work his
way to the absolute top. He's a committed died in the wole communist who
sees China as the most dominant country of the twenty first century, and we
send Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to negotiate with that guy. And I have
hopes. I like to think that America century will again be the twenty first
century. But with the leadership we have, I have my doubts, but
I hope for the best. Once again, Emily Finn of News Nation,
thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, and with your permission,
we'll do it again. Thank you, Emily. Absolutely, Bill, we
got to keep these conversations about kind of going. I'm happy to join your
show anytime. Thanks for speaking with me today. God bless America. Thank
you very much. Thank you. All right, let's continue with more if
a line becomes available five one, three, seven, four, nine,
seven thousand, and it starts in a sense tonight, but also Wednesday and
Thursday. How about Jijio Ping as a young man living on an Iowa farm,
learning all he can about agricultural miracles that we have in this country and
taking that technology back them back to Beijing, and some forty forty five years
later, he leads the largest communist nation in the world. Wow, let's
continue. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WULW. Listening to Scott Sloan

gets the ball go after a knee clock is it twenty seconds? They run
out the field goal unit. The field goal unit for the Bills runs out
the clock at thirteen the Clockett Trove. They set up right now for a
forty one yard field goal pocket seven, The ball put down, the kickers
up, and the kick is melted. Who miss his way right? Who
miss white right? But there was a fog on the poy comment on defense
five yard penalty, you'll furtho, oh my goodness on the Bills a penalty,
they'll get another try, Denver, we'll get another try. Twelve men
on the field. What is going on right now? Oh? I mean,
first of all, I'm shocked that the Broncos elected to make that a
fast field goal situation where they had to have everybody run on. But then
the Bills tried to match it and run on their field goal block team at
the last second, and they had too many guys in the field. And
that is as critical of a coaching error as you will ever see. Real
lunch. Will now try a thirty six yard field goal to win it,
Paul, good time, good snap the right foot, the kickers away and
good right through the middle, dead solid, perfect, and Denver wins it
on a walk role field Ball twenty four twenty two. Hello, quiet,
and I'm broadcasting some bad, sad information here. I mean, this isn't
good at all, Rocky on his bet. I mean we got Greater's ice
cream. I have even brought one for Seg even though he throws me under
the bus all the time. He's the one that call you. Let me
explain to everyone what's going on. I bring in the Sundays and it looks
like, you know, like the grim Reaper just walked in. You actually
wanted me to not live up to my bet. You continue to bash me
on air the fun friends like you, guys, I'll tell you what.
Who needs enemies feel disappointed? I just dropped like eighty seven dollars on two
turning in on your expense reporting top on two? Did you get one yourself?
I don't eat that stuff I do, so you know how much are
hot fud Sun? He's now Greater like eight seventy five or something. Really
yeah, not not He's not for each one. Yeah what, I'm just
gonna sit here and look at it. I'm talking to Chip Greater about this.
Thank you. We need we need a Willie Cunning Rambers on here.
I don't know. Nevertheless, I'm a man of my word, So thank
you Rotco Now now that now the onus is on Mo Mo and also Rob
Sander. Rob Sander, I think he ought to be indicted. He's a
wheelcher At this point, what did Rob Sanders bet? Oh? You bet
on the governor's thing? He thought Cameron, would you know? And I
thought Andy Basheer and I should have taken Russell Coleman the attorney general. But
nonetheless he bet on Cameron. I wanted Cameron, but Andy Bsher I just
had a sense that he was going to win, right, didn't you?
I did? I didn't say that was possible. How terrible he handled COVID
was like no one, no one remembered. Everyone forgot. Now why did
you owe us the Sundays? I win so many bets, it's hard to
keep tracking serious for more beating sat xime. That happens all the time.
And you took the points, and you took the home field. You took
all that, and I still and I lost. Well, No, they
played at Saint x as I recall, but nonetheless the Notre Dame women's basketball
team lost My twenty South Carolina. South Carolina beat the crap out of them.
Carolina Don Staley's head guess like a real team. She's a left wing
extreme, but she can coach basketball women's basketball. And then I'm told from
my friends at East Central, who are playing in the semi finals that the
Little Rock, who played well individually, but as you know, that doesn't
count, lost the super Bowl. So you got the Notre Dame women lose,
the Little Rock loses the super Bowl. We didn't make it to the
super Bowl. We were one yard short and double overtime. But the last
time I went, what happened? We wanted should have invited me inted we
didn't get there if we if we got saying Harrison and then we also had
a bit. I'm glad you pointed this outsat I took Anderson and you took
Harrison in football. Don't look at me. Dave has that He's right.
I took Anderson and you to you know what this makes up for you want
he owes me a hot fut Sunday for Anderson, and remember the Rats and
the Wildcats. Why don't we just open up a greater's downstairs in this building.
I'm just saying that's a pretty good idea. Though, eight seventy five
eight I think it was eight with tax whatever. Really, Yeah, I'm
shot now. Last night the Buffalo Bills have the Bills had the Notre Dame
d C, they had eight players on the field and they would have won
the game, but instead their DC had twelve. You have one last you
can't have one too many, Scott Norwood wide right. I thought, this
is unbelievable, and all of a sudden, twelve O lag. How's that
possible? Well, Sean McDermott explained today that they were in dime defense,
okay, which means they had two extra dime. If it's two, well
it means six five defensive backs. If you go dime, it's six.
If you come dime is six and a five is a nickel. Well,
I don't know. You have to ask the the metric system. Anyway.
Think about that one for a second. Yeah, they he said, they
even practice substituting from dime defense to field goal block is normally if your regular
defense, that's a little bit more regular, and they're okay, they're gonna
kick a field goal, you gotta have eleven players on the field. And
so the Buffalo Bills, again, much like they're in the Super Bowl,
they win the game, but not really because they had too many players.
But Josh Allen stunk up the place. It was terrible. He's at Scott
Sloan. I mean, where's all this buffalo bill stuff around here? You
don't see him. He looks like a Christmas turkey buffalo balance a buffalo.
All I say is Scott Norwood's got Norwood any different? Coach? What happened
abandon ship? What do you mean, David? The wow? How about
that? Wow? There's loyalty for you. You're back on st X,
me telling my back on Deer Park and you turning your back where you got
