From this laurious Thursday afternoon in the tri Stay and of course coming up about
an hour or so as Brian phil Mead of Fox News to talk about doings
in New York, but also Fox and Friends in the Morning and his new
book that's out. Later on. Also is Ali Bradley from News Nation with
a live report from the Texas border Eagle Pass and what's happening on the southern
border, and some of her reporting last night indicated that in the first eleven
days of December, there were one hundred thousand illegals identified. It came across
the border one hundred thousand and eleven days, and they were dispersed all over
the country, and that number is continuing. In fact, it's accelerating.
But until then, you might recall a few couple of weeks ago, David
Yost, the Attorney General, came on to talk about a lawsuit that he
joined with other states attorney generals to sue the NCAA, and many people,
including Tony Bender, thought it was a fool's errand that the federal courts are
not going to be involved in basketball matters because there's a player at uc that
was denied ability to play and David Yost was successful. At this point,
we'll see what occurs in the future. David Yost, first of all,
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and explain to the American people this Thursday
afternoon what the lawsuit was about. Then we'll talk about its success. Up
to this point. Well, Merry Christmas to you. Bill. The lawsuit
was an anti trust lawsuit is a very old law. It's been in the
law for one hundred and forty years in in this country, one hundred and
thirty years called the Sherman Anti Trust Act, and basically what it says is
you're not allowed to collude, you're not allowed to have an agreement that restrains
trade. There's a lot of nuance to it, but that's the basic idea,
and the NCAA is essentially one big agreement to restrain trade. When it
comes to athletes, so at particularly is you is they're double transfer rule.
So if you go into the trans into the portal once as an athlete,
that's a free be and you can play right away. But if you do
it a second season, uh during your college career, you have to sit
out for a year, which is a huge penalty. If you've got four
years of eligibility. Uh, and at that point in your life. You
know, the pro pro athletes, with a few exceptions, most of the
time, their careers are done by the time they're in their late twenties the
early thirties. So taking a year is a big big deal. Then on
top of that, they allow waivers, but there's no no rhyme or reason
to it. They give some not to others. You see, guy one
one was deny another one on their their basketball team. So we went to
court and said, judge, make them stop. They'm allowed to operate like
this, suspend that rule. And that's what the court did yesterday. It's
put a fourteen day halt to it. And candidly, when you read the
decision, it's hard to believe that the NC double ALL will prevail when we
come back in two weeks to have the trial on the preliminary injunction. So
this this kid, this young man at you see, I think his name's
Reynolds, he can play the next fourteen days. Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, And the court also withheld NC double A, has this massive
club to beat you with it. Actually, dare to challenge their rule and
don't eventually win, called the restitution rule, and it says all those wins
you got with the kid that you know, we think was in eligible,
all your TV revenue, any championship, all that stuff goes on. If
I call it the Astoris school. But obviously that's a heavy price to pay,
and it's not much of a not hard to understand why kids wouldn't be
going to court to challenge this stuff when it's going to cost your team,
your school, and you if you lose. And so the idea is restrained
too. That's important because if down the road, if in three weeks a
court of appeal says, well, that trial judge was wrong. Now we're
going to punish the University of Cincinnati for playing this kid that shouldn't have been
playing, then you got terrible problems. So let's go back a little bit.
Well, when we talk about an eighteen, nineteen, twenty twenty two
year old man, this is an adult, and the NCAA has rules that
restrict trade, which is restrict commerce. And so if Tony Bender is a
six foot ten inch basketball player that can jump out of the gym, and
he's at the University of California and the coaches fired, he can then transfer
University of Utah. Then if Utah doesn't work out because Tony caught COVID and
Tony wants to go to sen in the real world, that's okay. So
if you're working for General Electric and you want to work for Procter and Gamble,
then you want to work for Sentos. Unless you have some agreement you've
signed that says you won't do it, you can go quit and go work
somewhere else. In the real world, the NCAA rules don't work. But
in the rules they made up that the kids, the young men have got
to comply with, they don't have a choice. And so whenever a guy
like you goes to court and says, wait a minute, in the real
world, you can't do this, the NC double A has got to pay
attention. Now. One big question came to mind is did the NC DOUBLEA
get a hold of you as state's attorney general and there's six, six or
seven states involved, and try to work this out ahead of time or they
simply said no, oh see in court, Well, Bill, you know
you've known me for a long time. Does that sound like does that sound
like my style? That I wouldn't talk. No, of course not.
You're going to call him and say, hey, can we work this out?
And I guess they said no, which is why you went. You
went for the t r O and then the preliminary and the nc double A
says no, we're going to continue to do this. And I'll tell you
what makes sense is for them to say, Okay, you know what,
we're going to just let the tro stay in effect. We'll convert it to
a p I and we're going to write some new rules that do comply with
the law. That way, you know, we can move we can move
on and have some stability. We'll see if that happens. Uh. But
you know, there's one other thing I want to mention to you about this
because because you'll appreciate this, uh with your legal training. The former assistant
Attorney general. Uh, the court UH looked at the n C Double a's
justifications for this, UH because they say, hey, look, you know
this is going to be disruptive to the kids anytime to acclimate well worried about
their grades. Uh, the court said. He the judge said he found
those pretextual reasons that they were pretextual. As you will remember from your days
as an assistant Attorney General means that's a legal term from the Latins, that
means bs Reynolds, I guess if you gave advice, I guess in a
sense you see is your client in a sense richel if you were giving direct
legal advice to Wes Miller, who, by the way, just lost his
Xavier again, which they do all the time. I mean, they haven't
beaten them back to back since nineteen ninety six, and you see as a
terrible time beating Xavier, as it should. But nonetheless, what would you
say about playing this Jamil Reynolds character. Would you say, okay, he
can play or would you say, wait a minute, you better wait for
the fourteen days and the appeal time. They haven't filed an appeal yet with
his circuit. What advice would you give Wes Miller? Well, as you
noted, I am the lawyer for them or our office is so any advice
I would give specifically to the versus Cincinnati would be privileged, and I wouldn't
talk about it on the radio. However, I can say as a general
application of the rule across Okay. Now, secondly, page two, I'm
going to spring this on you a little bit about marijuana. I had on
governor of Mike Took at the time, the Governor Mike DeWine yesterday, and
he was very fourthright. Doesn't like marijuana, doesn't use marijuana as never us
Mike. If Mike Dwine ever smoked a doobie, I'd be going crazy.
That's a non sequitor. And so he's everything about him is like, I
hate this. But then he's got to implement it. He's got to say,
Okay, I got to do it. So he works out a deal
with the state Senate which changes cutting around the edges, cutting the plants in
half inside the home, which is right now, the law allows about seven
thousand joints a year to be grown in your home for personal use. This
is a cheech and showing special I can't imagine how much smoking is being done
for seven And so they cut that in half, They move the thhg content
down, They give home rule more power to not to all out in Sycamore
Township or whatever. But he says, at this point, you can possess
marijuana in Ohio, but you can't buy it legally anywhere. So I said,
well, you can go to Michigan. And get a pound or two
of marijuana, four or five people drive across the border. And Mike DeWine
said, well, that's probably legal. And so what advice, if any,
is the state attorney general giving to county prosecutors, city prosecutors, et
cetera, when someone's walking around smoking marijuana maybe tonight, Well, what advice
can you give? Well, possession within the prescribed limits is perfectly legal in
Ohio. Right now, you're not allowed to smoke marijuana in public where you
wouldn't be allowed to smoke the tobacco. But at the end of the day,
is the governor's right. It's a a bit of a mash right now,
And well, we're going to have to see things are going to develop.
This is very complicated and candidly, the statute that was voted on by
the people was not a paragon of great draftsmanship. And so that's the idea
of this proposed initiative to allow the legislature to come together. And I made
the comment to Mike that basically, we have a Republican party in charge of
everything in the state of Ohio, and they advocate, but they don't rule,
they don't govern, And he kind of said yeah, in a sense,
do we have a functional legislature in which the Senate, which passed the
changes and the House that refuses can actually get together? He said, this
thing may go on for about another year. And so assuming you could smoke
a cigarette on the side walk or walking down the street, which of course
you can, it also means you can smoke marijuana in a public place not
otherwise prohibited from cigarette smoking. And then you have all the problems with children
and the access to these products. It's a mess. And so do you
have a sense this Thursday afternoon that the that the State House is going to
move in concert with what the Line and the Senate want. Well, I
think the and understand I don't have a voter or a veto in my current
job, so I don't have a dog in this fight other than I want
to see low taxes because I want I want the illicit market to go away,
right, But beyond that, you know, that's that's for our policy
friends to decide, and the Senate and the House have some real differences on
how they think the state ought to move forward. I don't think it's fair
to completely ascribe this to political infighting or obstructionism. They're genuine different differences of
opinion here, and the way our constitution works, the Senate and the Governor,
if they get together, still have to persuade the House. And so
that's the way the process is supposed to work, and I'm sure that it
will. It's just going to take a little bit longer than everybody wants it
to. And lastly, the key point here is what you brought up,
which is the low taxes and Senator Blessing from Coleraine Township, not exactly a
flaming liberal, has said that we want to collapse, if possible, the
dark market by keeping the price of marijuana at or lower than what you can
buy on the street. And so that's a great point. Because the Senate
increased the state take by about fifty percent. They want from ten percent to
fifteen percent. That's on top of the seven or eight percent, So you're
going to have twenty three to twenty five percent more, but then you also
have a better unadulterated product, without fentanyl, without mold. But nonetheless,
to keep the price at or below the dark market. You say that's important,
Well, it's critically important, not only from a governance standpoint, Like
you talk about the purity of the product and quality control, but also the
tax structure and all of the stuff that goes with an illicit market, with
the threats to the coersion, sometimes violence, the money laundering. Is there's
nothing good for society that comes out of an illicit market, and governments are
the largest creators of the illicit markets by the way they regulate and tax.
Candidly, I thought that ten percent tax was too high. I'd prefer to
see something in the single digits precisely to ease that transition from with the way
things have always been on cannabis to a regulated, responsible market. If that
comes at a price premium, people simply aren't going to pay it. They're
used to buying stuff on the street. So we've got to remove that barrier.
In my humble opinion, again, I don't get a voter of eto.
All right, Attorney General David Yost, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year,
and thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show this Thursday afternoon, and
we'll see what happens down the road. But good job got Reynolds. Of
course, if he played or not against Xavier, would have made no difference
whatsoever, because Xavier just dominated you see, as they always do. But
it's at least they don't have an excuse for a failure in the future.
But David got bitter about it. Not at all, not at all.
I'm I'm glad the judge waited until after the crossdown shootout. To be honest,
I don't know. I don't know how good this Reynolds guy has.
Have you ever met Reynolds? You know who he is. I never met
the guy. I don't know who the guy is. But he ought to
be able to work and he's getting paid. I think fifth do you to
one hundred thousand dollars to play basketball? Which is unbelievable. It used to
be you couldn't take a free happy meal or get a tattoo, and now
the UC Bearcat players are making one to three hundred thousand dollars a year each.
And so to say to this guy Reynolds, you can you can't work
when the one thing you want to do is a twenty one year old is
to work, which is play basketball, is ridiculous. And I'm glad that
you took up the calls. And David Yost, once again, thank you
for coming on the Bill Cunningham show. We'll do it again. Thank you,
mister Attorney General. Thank you. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Let's
continue keep the price low and sell lots of pot. All on News Radio
seven hundred. You held over you mean while in the intented forest pencil and
Gretel. Wait a minute, where's Henzel? Word? A witch got him,
turned him into a stew, a stew. I told him to stay
away from the big boiling pot. How did you get away? It was
simple. I turned on Eddie and Rocky and the witch started lamping so hard.
I tossed her in a pie crossed and threw her in oh witch pie.
It was delicious. Eddie and Rocky give your day a fairy tale ending
Eddie and Rocky. This afternoon to three on seven hundred WLW, the holiday
countdown is on. Don't miss fifty percent off everything at your Nearest Christmas,
Happy New Year to all. Coming up later is live from the Border at
Eagle Pass, Texas, will be Ali Bradley, the Great News Nation reporter
on site, and she did a report last night for News Nation run a
course by Sean Compton, that in the first eleven days of December, there
were one hundred thousand known individuals coming across the southern border that signed up to
get hearings on refugee status. One hundred thousand in the first eleven days,
So in the month of December there's going to be about three hundred thousand,
which is the population of Pittsburgh or Milwaukee or Cincinnati. So every thirty days,
America gets a city the size of Cincinnati of illegal refugees who need all
the human services imaginable collapsing our public health systems, our emergency rooms, our
public education facilities, often law enforcement, public housing, et cetera, just
collapsing it. This has been going on for the last two and a half
to three years, and at least one more year of the Joe Biden regime
will keep this in effect, so that every month we're going to have a
city the size of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee added to America, with all
the congestion, all the pollution, all the use of medical facilities and schools
and the rest. And by the way, the great majority cannot work because
they don't have status, which means they can't get a Social Security number legally
or a driver's license legally, which then get one illegally of course, and
away we go. And how does it happen? I'm going to ask her,
which I've done before. Assuming today twelve thousand more show up that we
know about, and they've come on trains, planes, buses, by foot
from all over the world, a lot from Islamic countries and also from Africa,
South America and Central America. They just don't all of a sudden,
sometime in Iraq or Iran say you know what, I want to visit Eagle
Pass, Texas and let me get there. It's all done illegally. No
one applies for a visa or a passport. They don't have those documents at
all. They pay directly or indirectly five to ten thousand dollars each for coyotes
to get them into the United States. And when you can't pay, what
happens is that you have an IOU, that is a chit that is cashed
in later by the cartels, including here in Cincinnati. Once again, over
the last three or four days, there have been numerous homes broken into and
Indian Hill and Kenwood and Mason of individuals who are bought and paid for by
the cartels to break into homes to steal stuff, break into cars to steal
stuff. That's their job for the next one or two years, to commit
crimes at the behest of the cartels. Right here in Villa Hills. In
Covington, they'll have one to two hundred car break ins this year. In
the city of Cincinnati there's five to seven hundred guns stolen out of cars broken
into. Literally thousands of cars are broken into by members of cartels to ransack
the car quickly to find a gun or wallet, some cash, whatever it
might be, and away you go. And that person is bought and paid
for to work off their transit fee. So there was a circumstance and Indian
Hill of which I'm aware, where a father was zip tied to a chair
as they ransacked the home and threatened serious physical harm with knives up against the
throat if he didn't relate where the diamonds, the gold of the jewelry and
the cashwar and so what do you do? The border issue has visited Villa
Hills, Kenwood, Indian Hill, Montgomery and Mason right now because there are
gangs of those from Chile and Central and South America that have got to work
off their debt, and that is by working for these cartels to rob cheat
steel and god knows doo what else. So when you go to a Bengals
game on Saturday, kickoff is at one oh five on Saturday afternoon against the
Vikings, there's going to be tens of thousands of cars parked and once again
there'll be hundreds of car breakings paid for by the failure of Joe Biden's policies
on the southern border. And even Democrats are figuring this thing out. We're
destroying the character of this country incrementally slowly every day, every week, every
month. In the first three years of the Biden policies, we've had approximately
fifteen million more illegals come into the country that we know, about fifteen million,
which is much greater than the population of the state of Ohio. And
there's no housing available, there's no scaled medical system available, there's no public
education available. There's five thousand kids illegal in the Cincinnati public schools as I
speak, many of whom don't know the language. They're nine, ten,
twelve years old that are illiterate. You can't put them back in the first
grader or kindergarten. You have to have special tutors and English second esl mitigators,
and it's a crisis for those who want to get receive a quality education
that doesn't exist so slowly, incrementally, American society is breaking down, which
is why seventy percent of us say America is on the wrong track. We
know we can't keep borrowing our way to prosperity. We owe thirty four trillion
on its way to forty trillion by the end of this decade. Before the
end of this decade only what's six seven years away, we're going to have
a cumulating national debt of forty trillion dollars. The interest on it is more
than a trillion dollars a year, which is more than the defense budget every
year that we paid the bond holders incrementally, My god, are we in
trouble? Is there a sense that we need to go a different direction?
Yes, but so many Americans don't want to take a quote risk on Donald
Trump anymore. Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
Answer that question away from the media, folterol and away from the cacophony of
voices. Are you better off today than you were four years ago? The
answer is not just no, The answer is hell no, not even when
crime and drug use and fentanyl addiction and massive human trafficking and gangs prowl around
Greater Cincinnati. We got difficulties and we're better off than Chicaga living in Washington,
d C. Were the capitals and the Wizards got to move out of
Downtown and RFK Stadium, the football team's got to move out because of complete
utter societal collapse in the nation's capital. It's sad to have individuals come into
America and say this is Washington, d C. The United States of America,
as there's looting and mass rioting happening in the nation's capital and lawlessness.
Amiss. Mary Bowser, the mayor of Washington, was in the climate warming
conference in Abu Dhabi. Then she flew back when the professional teams are leaving,
and so we need to shake things up. And Donald Trump will shake
things up if he gets back in for those four years and maybe return some
sanity if we stay on the same course we're on. I still don't think
our President Joe Biden can make it another eleven months. I can't conceive of
mentally him not completely disintegrating and babbling before our very eyes and even the media
at some point may have started covering it that he's going to make it that
far. But God knows that we need a segue between insanity and sanity,
between what's wrong and what's right, And we can't continue living this way and
having a functional society we pass on to our children and grandchildren, and they've
lost the American dream. Well, look at the colleges and what they've done
to our youth and doctrination centers, especially the Ivy League. It's embarrassing.
So when you have the Mayor of Boston give out a quote holiday party alert
to only non white office holders, the Mayor of Boston is an Asian American
female and excluding white people from attending because of the color of their skin.
She came out of the education system of the Ivy League, in which discrimination
picking winners and losers dei is central to everything they do. It's not about
academics, it's about indoctrination. Unfortunately, we have colleges locally that are not
in the indoctrination business, except the University of Cincinnati that has its own Hamas
chapter. But Xavier Nku, Thomas Moore, Mount Saint Joe are functional.
But so much of our college campuses are not and it's got to stop.
We continue on this path much longer, another four to eight years, we're
going to have fifty million more illegals in the country and we can't function.
And it's part and parcel of the Chinese communist goal to destroy this country from
within through the southern border. And so I know you have, maybe some
have concerns about Donald Trump and his tweets, his mean tweets. Can he
get people to work for him? I don't know, but to continue with
the crowd in Washington with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi and the
Keem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer simply can't continue. We're living on borrow time economically
and morally. And it's hopefully we'll take a turn because we get the government
we deserve. That worries me greatly. And we also just had this huge
election a month ago and statusue one and two and Ohio voted loud, proud
and Sassey for partial birth, abortion through birth on demand. And I know
there's a sense that many didn't understand what they voted for, but nonetheless that's
what that's what you voted for. And so now the next year or two
there'll be a sorting out of what state laws are constitutional and which ones are
unconstitutional because of what we did. So secondly, on the marijuana front,
which is really a small matter considering the existence of the United States of America
with a functioning populace. But when I had on the Attorney general, when
you heard him about a half an hour ago, there's chaos. We have
chaos because the lawmakers in Columbus have the power to change State Issue two,
but the propriety to do so is a different matter. It's not a constitutional
right anymore like abortion is. But rather it's a statute that can be passed
or not passed, or changed or not changed. As we sit here now
this Thursday afternoon, December the fourteenth, guess what. You can walk around
smoking a cigarette or smoking pot, and it's perfectly legal that the THHC content
of recreational pot on the statute is higher than medical marijuana pot. That makes
no sense whatsoever. And the statue calls for ten percent sales tacks on top
of the eight percent, which is eighteen percent, and then they want to
increase that another five or ten percent. And David Yost the Attorney General made
a lot of sense, didn't he Saying we have to keep the price lower
than the dark black market, so that Americans who want to enjoy a joint
here and there are going to pay about the same for legal as illegal.
Makes sense, But you have a Speaker of the House that cannot corral his
caucus to agree with the Senate. As a consequence, we're in never neverland.
You can drive right now to Michigan, get all the legal pot you
can legally buy there, transport it back into Ohio and smoke it and pass
it around as all legal because there's no rules or regulations anymore. And Mike
DeWine wants to lead the way, but he can't when people won't follow him.
So everywhere I look, seventy percent of us think America is on the
wrong track. Seventy two percent do not want Joe Biden to be the nominee
of the Democrat Party who are Democrats, and fifty percent of Republicans don't want
Donald Trump to be the nominee of the Republican Party. So both have candidates
out in front widely disliked by their own party, much less the general population
that's not sure when the election day is anyway, who might show up,
And this skull duggery that's going to take place in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
and Georgia is going to be unbelievable on November fifth of twenty twenty four,
as far as what they can do in those states, I have confidence
that in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Florida we have a functional electoral
system in which we don't have dropboxes thither and fro we don't have ballad harvesting,
and we have a system then you have to prove id when you vote,
so there's a much better chance of getting a legitimate count. Bon you
have a state like Wisconsin or Michigan or Pennsylvania that has dropboxes, no signature
of verification, same day voter registration. It's ripe for tens of thousands or
one hundred thousand ballos to be stuffed into the ballot box illegally, and I
have little or no confidence we're going to get a legitimate count. Most Republicans
and most Democrats feel that the election itself, whatever it might be, is
corrupt. Especially Republicans feel it's corrupt. So why would you participate in the
system in which the outcome is not legitimate. That's another big problem. Along
with the law enforcement, along with the paramedics, along with the firefighters,
along with cops. Fewer and fewer Americans want to sign up to defend the
nation's borders. If you listen to many of the liberals talk about this great
nation of ours, why would you defend it anyway? And many of us
are simply waiting for the next horrible time Harris attacked, occasioned by a wide
open southern border. On top of the other problems we have. My God,
are we in trouble. We need to turn the corner next November.
We have to go a completely different direction. The status quot doesn't work anymore
when you can't trust the outcome of elections. When we have a population the
size of Cincinnati entering the country illegally that we know about every thirty days and
another four from this point, five years of Joe Biden's policies means they'll be
up to one hundred million more people inside this country that can't afford, don't
have the money. So let's continue coming up. It's always good to have
on Ali Bradley, she's the fine on site reporter from News Nation run of
course by Sean Compton, to talk about the Eco Pass and what's happening.
She has a story up about repatriations have stopped, that Mexico is encouraging people
to come through Mexico to get to the Texas border. When Trump was in
office, he made sure that Mexico was the place where legal migration stopped,
not where it accelerated. So let's continue with more if a line becomes available
five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand or pounds
seven hundred the new at and T twelve fifty five, your home of your
Bengals playing on Saturday at kickoff about one oh five. Our coverage starts about
nine o'clock in the morning. May God bless America because I think our government's
not done it. Let's continue. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WULW,
Rookie Boyman and Lance mcconnister have ova whoday you can handle. During the
roundtable tonight at six on seven hundred, Wow, the home of the best
Mingles coverage, toyodathun is on. It's time to celebrate this year in event
Bill Cunningham, the Great American. Of course, we continue to here in
some media outlets, what's happening on our southern border. Sometimes per day there's
ten to twelve thousand per day coming across the southern border that are identified,
thousands more not identified. It's been going on for months. Ali Bradley,
the great reporter from News Nation, is at Eagle Pass, Texas, keeping
an eye on things as we celebrate Christmas in New Year's And Ali Bradley,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Ali, I see that you
have a story that you posted at News Nation that deals with US facing mounting
surge Mexico stops. It's not reparations, it's returning back to Mexico, et
cetera. Repatriations And as far as that happening, explain to the American people,
what are repatriations and how is Mexico flooding the border perhaps unwittingly or wittingly
with large numbers of individuals. What is actually happening in Eagle Pass as we
speak speak Bill, there was a small group that just came over across the
river and is being processed right now. But when you ask about you know,
how these the halting of these repatriations are really going to impact the United
States and illegal immigration here, the reality is Mexico hasn't really been doing that
much when it comes to stopping the flow of illegal immigration. I've also posted
about how they give out humanitarian visas marked specifically for transit that are forty days
you know, valid, and basically they bring them that brings these individuals right
through the checkpoints and right to our back door. Right So how much is
Mexico really doing? When I confronted Mexican officials down in Arizona, they wouldn't
answer any of my questions. As we stood there and watched coyotes and human
smugglers cut through our border wall. They're nowhere to be found. And so
they're halting these repatriations, which means they're not sending people back to their home
countries on these certain flights, and they're citing budget issues. So I did
reach out to DHS asking if the US is going to suff women any of
those budgetary concerns, how it will impact the United States because the memo says
it will have little impact, But they deferred me to Mexican officials, so
I wasn't able to get that far on that one. But when it comes
to Mexico and then halting those repatriations. I don't believe it's going to have
that much of an impact in the sense of Mexico hasn't been holding them in
their country as it is. And when I've talked to Mexican officials, they
say, well, we didn't invite them here, and they don't want to
be here, so what are we supposed to do? And I mean,
you look at it. Imagine if Canada was saying, hey them, Benito's
come on up. You think America is just gonna say everybody can stay here,
you know. So, I mean that's kind of the other thing.
Most of these people aren't from Mexico, right, I'm meeting people down here
from Venezuela, from Al Salvador, from Peru, and then over in Arizona,
I'm meeting people from Guinea Africa and from Ecuador. So they're not,
you know, sitting in Mexico because they want to be in Mexico. All
of them have the goal and the trajectory of coming to the United States.
And as far as the kind of person that's coming that these aren't families.
These are moms and dads with three kids, aren't they overwhelmingly over ninety percent
unattached single males. No, that's not correct. Actually, they're What I'm
looking at right now is there's about sixty percent our single adults, and that's
not necessarily all men. Right now. We are seeing a lot of single
adult men in videos and things like that, but we have to be realistic
and understand that the families get separated from those groups. So the optics really
look like it's all men all the time, but the families get moved out
a lot quicker bill, so we don't see as many family units sitting down
in the cold and in the dirt. Right So, but from what I'm
looking at with border patrol statistics, they're saying with that ten thousand plus people
that cross on Tuesday alone, it's about sixty percent single adults. So of
the ten thousand, let's say there's ten thousand over a month, that's three
hundred thousand. That's every month, a city the size of Pittsburgh or Cincinnati,
Ohio coming across every thirty days. Is there any sense, Ali Bradley,
you have this as dissipating, increasing or staying the same, because the
repatriation aspect is this accelerating so I will say this, we can confirm through
our sources that we've already seen over ninety eight thousand people enter in just the
first eleven days of December. And then when you compare that to November,
we were only looking at about eighty one thousand. So we're surpassing last month
by fifteen thousand plus people right already. So that is also kind of a
trend we see every single year. They kind of flow down around Thanksgiving,
you and then they start to ramp up between Thanksgiving and Christmas. But then
the cartel takes a break too because they celebrate Christmas too, so they do
end up surging a little bit more in December. It's very typical and very
like I said, a trend that we see. We see a little uptick
every day December. When it comes to what's going to happen next, you
know, there hasn't been a lot of movement by way of any kind of
policy changes. You know, they're talking about bringing more agents down. You
are paying for overtime for agents, Okay, but those are band ads for
bullet wounds, right according to law enforcement. You're not actually changing the policies
that are causing these pull factors and the magnets and the asylum claims that are.
You know, from the most part, we're seeing economic migrants. Bill,
We're not seeing people that have valid asylum claims. There was a gentleman
I talked to in Arizona who was here from Morocco, just twenty years old.
And I saw his paperwork and he was already in New York within a
couple of days in New York City. And you know, the box for
credible fear was not checked on his paperwork. And he has a notice to
appear in October of next year, of twenty twenty four. So the vast
majority of these individuals when I talked to them two and a half years ago.
You know, I've been covering this for quite a while. You can
pay somebody to tell you that they were here to work or that they were
here alone. Now they're all openly saying that. And so you know,
those are economic migrants, and those don't qualify for asylum under our congressional law.
Right However, because of a federal judge saying everyone has the right to
claim asylum kind of thing, they have to go through these processes and the
court backlog and the judges aren't available, and so you end up getting kind
of a catch and release, right, These people have to have their cases
adjudicated, so they end up being released with a notice to a pier.
I just got confirmation at a man from Cuba that crossed into Eagle Pass a
couple of days ago. He's in Florida and his court dates not until December
of twenty twenty seven. So he's you know, he's not going to have
his case heard for years. And that's the reality. Is the vast majority
are here for economic claims and here for a better life. And is that,
you know, absolutely wrong. I'm not going to judge that, but
it does not qualify for asylum by congressional law. So if you have in
the first eleven days of December about one hundred thousand show up that are identifiable,
I would assume they come hungry, tired, cold, wet, without
means of communication, without the ability to pay for an airfare or get on
a bus. How does the government transport one hundred thousand people in eleven days?
Think about that number, one hundred thousands, like the big house in
ant armor packed that's happening every eleven or twelve days. How does the government
take that many people and get them somewhere else? How does that happen?
Well, that's that's part of the problem, right, because they don't.
They keep expanding facilities and moving bodies and robbing Peter to pay Paul. So
they pull people from other sectors, as in border patrol, so they can
process and transport people. These people down here are they being transported to the
soft sided facility here called Firefly that has the capacity of about one thousand them
bursting at the seams upwards of five thousand some days, and so they take
them to other facilities. They'll bring them to San Antonio del Rio. I
just talked with the sheriff in Valverde County, which is where Del Rio is,
and he says a lot of these individuals are being transported over to his
county and then they're being released. They if they don't go to the NGO,
they'll be released onto the streets. And they're out there panhandling at the
ATV grocery store and at the Stripes gas station out there in Del Rio.
They need money, they don't have a means to get to where they need
to go. Some of them are being transported by these NGOs, of course,
and those are being reimbursed by SEMAP dollars, which is taxpayer money.
But then down here in Texas you also have Governor Abbott who is sending busloads
of people to places like Chicago, New York, Washington, d C.
And LA. So you're seeing a lot of movement here in a quick way.
And something that I've been talking about that is a little more concerning is
in the Tucson sector in Arizona out in Lukeville, where they're seeing thousands of
people every day, they have a different kind of policy there where every administration
has had pretty much a seventy two hour window that these individuals have to get
out of border patrol custody. You can't detain people for longer than seventy two
hours. But in the Tucson sector, they have an injunction in place Jane
do versus Majorcis and it's about the inhumane conditions that someone claims to experience in
border patrol custody. So they have a forty eight hour window and they are
trying to process people within thirty six hours. And Bill, if you know
from our reporting, that sector is where forty percent of these special interest countries.
People from those countries are being apprehended and have been apprehended. And now
we're seeing people there from mostly Athlamic nations that are coming in there and they're
being released within thirty six hours. And so the NGOs non government organization like
Catholic charities, they have a big time contract with the federal government paying them
literally millions of dollars to act as food providers, Obama phones, transportation clothes.
So here comes hundreds or thousands of people to UH Chicago and they go
to the bus station there and they open the door and say, here's Chicago.
What happens then to these thousands of people? And right now the numbers
in Chicago's fifty thousand. New York City it's well over a quarter of a
million. What happens in a rough winner in Chicago when they say, okay,
you're at the bus station, here you go. What happens next?
Well, you know, I'm talking to that kid from Morocco I was telling
you about, and he told me while we were sitting in the dirt that
he was going to find work. If you can find work in Morocco,
you can find work here. And I said, but you can't work here
legally right now, and he said we'll figure it out. Well, he
got to New York City and he texted me and said, well, I
can't work legally when I tried to get a job and asked me for my
Social Security number and it asked me for my driver's license and I don't have
those things. I'm supposed to be staying with my friend, but he doesn't
understand my situation. And everything is so expensive here and I need to find
a place to live. That's the reality. So the bag of goods that
they're being sold, that they're all going to get a house and we're going
to take or they're living, that's not't necessarily the case, especially if you
want to do it legally. But remember they broke the rules coming in right,
So he says that was his first and only mistake by coming in illegally,
So he really wants to do it the legal way going forward. He
doesn't have an option to do that. Bill And there's one guy that I
met up with right after Title forty two, and that who's up in Indiana
and he just had his court date December sixth, and now his next hearing
is in two years he still can't work. He's borrowing money from his company
in Togo, Africa. What a thing that is. So right now they're
scrambling trying to figure out how to survive. But I mean, you go
to the websites on New York, you get it breaks it all down for
you if you're an illegal immigrant. It tells you you will not be denied
medical care, It gives you areas where you can go get free food.
It breaks down everything for you in these sanctuary cities. Meanwhile, you have
all these mayors who are going and asking for money, but not really calling
for a solution or a decrease in the flow in illegal immigration, but rather
to support the droges of people who are going to continue to come. Right
and then people call for let them work, let them work legally, and
then that creates a magnet because these people can come in and they can start
working right away. So you know, the solutions are hard because there's always
a cause and effect here. Now. Lastly, Ali Bradley of News Nation
spend some time with the American people this holiday season talking about the massive lawlessness
other than breaking the border laws such as the murders, the rapes, the
robberies. I live in little Cincinnati, Ohio, and some of the police
forces around here say there's gangs of Chilean burglars that have been employed by the
human smugglers for a year of indentured servitude to break in the homes to steal
stuff for those to whom they owe money. And that's a small little factor.
Explain that to the American people. Yeah, So what's hard about that
one? Because I've heard about that, and that's actually something that's also happening
in other areas, like affluent neighborhoods in Scottsdale and Arizona and things like that.
And what I've had a hard time confirming, Bill is that those people
are here illegally and aren't here on a visa or aren't here on any other
capacity. Right, So, I'm not really sure who these Chilean individuals are
and how they arrived in the United States, But I do know when people
come over here, they pay the cartel. This guy from Morocco said he
paid seven grand to get here. I don't have seven grand out of pocket
to give someone. Most people don't, so either, you know, the
cross with that kind of promisory note that they'll get them across, but then
they're going to work and do things for the criminal cartels, whether they're human
smuggling drivers. We've seen more human smuggling drivers that are illegal immigrants. We
just saw in Kinney County two hunt during Nationals. We're smuggling other migrants,
right, So we're seeing those things happen. And when they can't access money
or legal jobs, it doesn't take very long for a man to get desperate,
right, So if they need to take care of themselves, you know
they're going to find a way, just like that guy from Morocco said,
if we can find work, Morocco will find work here, and that's what's
happening. They a lot of them are indentured servitude to these cartels because they
couldn't pay and then even when they do pay their bill bill, they're going
to go, hey, guess what you cross here from Venezuela. We got
your driver's license, we know who your parents are, we know your grandma's
over there, whatever it might be. So they're pretty much on the hook
for life when they cross here illegally and use those criminal smugglers to do so.
Disgusting. Absolutely, it's the biggest flow of humanity since World War Two.
It's on our southern border. We have the ability to stop it or
flow it significantly, which is remain in Mexico. When someone's apprehended, go
get rid of the NGOs that are being incentivized to disperse these immigrants all over
the country. Every month, there's a new City of Pittsburgh form somewhere on
the streets of our major cities, and they can't work legally because they don't
have legal status, and therefore they engage themselves and eventually criminal activity, the
murders, the rapes, the raw breeze, the human trafficking, the burglaries,
the car break ins, all over America happening and it appears powerless to
stop it. Ali Bradley, thanks for calling in again. It's wonderful what
you're doing. And all I can say, man, you and yours have
a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year. Let's keep it going reporting and
eventually we're going to get what we deserve in this country. And if we
have leadership like we have today, it's not a good situation. But once
again, Ali Bradley of News Nation, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. Bill. I look forward
to our next conversation as always, God bless you. Let's continue with more.
And there's the story. Every month, there's a new city the size
of Cincinnati or Pittsburgh or Milwaukee that is growing up somewhere in our country.
And that's been going on for the last two or three years. And it's
going to continue until the policy stops. Let's continue times. We all get
a little snacky in the afternoon and when the hungerbug hits me. Just one
thing was satisfy Miss Sally's Deep Pride Mississippi Chicken Feet. It's a blast of

WLW Citizen of the Day with your second emotion is Jay Heison. Jay is
retiring today from the Park National Bank so he can spend more time listening to
the Stooge Report and root on the reds. Jay has spent the last thirty
years in commercial lending. In the Tristo, Jay Heisen, you are our
citizen of the day. Can I share with you the expressions of one Frank
zy Bell of ACR Gunny pools. Wait a minute, is he going to
keep Sunlight Pool open? He's going to make an effort to make it a
large hot tub. But he says to me here for Godzilla. I think
I can't read it. I love segment, but he's not a serious person.
Oh okay, Also, Willie, are you reading that? Also?
I can't see it? Take a look. Okay, well, thank you.
You're not a serious person, also Willie. On his dated December the
fourteenth, nineteen forty seven, the first of three meetings to discuss the future
of stock car racing was held at the Streamline Hotel in Daytona. Sixty days
after that, NASCAR was born. That was one hell of a delivery segment.
Give me out of the studge your apart? Where we have James Bogan
standing by about city council passing gun protection? What's up that? Which is
stupid? Will he head under a flow? Jay Nascar and Cody Island long
may it live in everybody's memory? What if Frank Zaibel buys it and making
a large hot tub. We leave you with the immortal words of the stewed
report. Well, what if they unleash Goofy on Mickey moos and Goofy takes
Mickey mouse out and that's it. And then Goofy is like he's like a
fourth or fifth line character. Nobody cares what Goofy's gonna do. I mean,
they could really have a lot of fun with this and really traumatize a
lot of children. Ken Brew worries about Goofy. It's an end of an
era. Willie Coney Island is eighteen eighty six Sunlight Pool in nineteen twenty five,
Grover, how many zillions of people have been all swimming in that pool?
All of them? Thank you. I did the backflip, I've done
nude backstrokes there, I've done the macarina. I've been through the tunnel.
Yes, a wildcat in the Shooting Star, Penny, let me take you
to my shooting star. And really, where is it? Right over there?
Let's go on seven hundred WLW you for believe it's a December American of
course, City Council which is involved in the Gaza Strip and also what's happening
in the Ukraine. Our city council wants to get involved in Second Amendment issues,
which is a classic diversion from reality. And they passed an emergency ordinance
yesterday Wednesday that discussed the issue of guns that are stolen out of cars.
I guess head on Brian Hammrick a day or two ago, and there's something
like five to seven hundred guns that are stolen out of cars, generally from
breaking out windows every year in the city of Cincinnati. So over to year
period is over a thousand guns being stolen, and then they're used as more
or less dummy weapons to commit crime and discard it. There's no tracing of
that particular item and away we go. The goal is meritorious to maybe stop
crime from being committed before it occurs. But on the other hand, unlike
driver's license, the possession of a gun is a constitutional right, and very
few times does the municipality infringe upon a constitutional right without running into difficulties.
So I've had my friend and fellow attorney, James Bogan, look into this,
and first of all, James tell the American people precisely what did city
council pass on Wednesday, making an emergency, which it applies right now.
So tell the American people what they did. They passed an ordinance that makes
it a fourth degree felony for failing to immediately report your gun stolen. And
they also put in a measure where you have to pay a two hundred dollars
processing fee to get your stolen firearm back. And so if Tony Bender has
say three point fifty seven magnum, goes to a Bengals game on Saturday and
leaves the gun in his car, maybe even in a lot compartment in his
car, maybe the glove compartment or whatever, and someone breaks in. It
cost him a couple thousand dollars for window damage and they get his gun.
So he's the victim of a crime, but city council is trying to make
him in a sense of perpetrator. Yeah, And the thing is, this
two hundred dollars processing fee applies if they find that it was negligently stored.
Problem is, since you're dealing with a constitutional right, you need to have
due process about that. But so basically, whether it's a stolen gun,
whether it's negligently stored or not, is basically determined by some beercraft and so
to get the gun back you have to demonstrate I guess you own the weapon,
but you must report it. And they're saying it's a it's it a
misdemeanor or a felony, because I don't think city council has felony jurisdiction.
It's a fourth degree misdemeanor that carries up to thirty days in jail and a
seven hundred and fifty dollars fine. And according to one statement of a city
council member, it might have been Liz Keating. She said that they didn't
They were concerned that the County Prosecutor, Melissa Powers, would not prosecute under
the felony statute. They don't trust her to be tough on crime. So
city council is going to be tough on crime? Is that what they're trying
to sell us? That could be? I mean, the thing is,
like we talked about before, you have the Ohio Firearm Uniformity Law Revised Code
nine point sixty eight, which has been upheld by the Ohio Supreme Court.
It says local governments can't make their own laws or restrictions concerning firearms, and
these two provisions in this emergency ordnance are expressed or the type of things that
are expressly banned by this state provision to walk from top to bottom. The
US Supreme Court said, and hell are that the right to have a weapon
is a personal right and the infringement thereof must be very slight and small because
it's a constitutional right. Then you have the state of Ohio passed the law
that said that city councils, they were thinking specifically of Cincinnati, cannot have
their own statutes when it comes to possession of firearms. But city council did
it anyway. So I would assume lawyers like yourself or others may get together
and say, let's sue the city of Cincinnati because they can't. It's infringing
upon our rights to keeping bare arms. Is that what's coming sometime soon that
a lawsuit's going to be filed, A challenging I. You can bet something
to me coming I Under this firearm uniformity law, one of the things that
expressly cannot be restricted is the transfer of firearms, which a gun being stolen
is a transfer of the firearm, not the kind of transfer you'd want to
have, but it's still just by definition fits under there. They also can't
make any other rules, regulations or whatnot regarding the right to bear arms which
would cover that two hundred dollars processing fee. So this thing eventually is going
to reach the Ohio Supreme Court and it's gonna get struck down, just like
every other state firearms ordinance. I mean there have been a number of cases
from a number of blue cities over the years where it's the Ohio Supreme Court
is basically like a parent repeatedly telling a child what part of no? Don't
you understand? We can't have I guess in Hamilton County there's got to be
forty or fifty kinds of different governments between villages and cities and townships. So
it's forty or fifty. I think it's forty Eight's the number. And so
you can have forty eight different government entities just in hamlt And County having their
own Second Amendment policies. That would be chaos. Be correct, and one
thing, let me correct myself. I'm the fine it's two hundred and fifty
dollars, not seven hundred and fifty dollars. Does want to correct myself there?
Okay? And so you can't have different jurisdictions with different rules and regulations.
As one drives from the River to Sharonville, you're going to pass through
several different jurisdictions, and the idea of having one state law on the subject
matter keeps his citizen from determining whether or not to where am I at this
point mile mark or what I have different rules and regulations. Isn't that the
goal of the state law to have a uniform statute for the entire state?
Exactly? You don't want to have to worry about the law and what you
have to do from part one, from say Hyde Park and Mount Lookout to
going to Kenwood or Indian Hill different. And as far as the application,
this is effective immediately because it's an emergency. Correct, Yes, well,
what makes it an emergency? We'll tight a bunch of statistics. But I
mean, yeah, I mean you do see a bunch of stolen guns coming
from cars. I mean, unfortunately, this looks like it's keeping a gun
in your car. It's not the smartest thing in the world. It is,
it isn't. But secondly, are the criminals gonna say? Okay?
And according to I had an expert on a couple of days ago, if
you're driving a Tesla or a mom's car, you're less likely to get broken
into. I suppose driving a pickup truck with an NRA sticker on the back.
Because those who do these things want to collect the weapon worth hundreds of
dollars, and they don't want to break into a mom's car. They want
to break into Tony Bender's pickup truck. And so it's like, what and
even if you keep your gun in your car, you can't take it with
you, for example, to go to a Bengals game. That's illegal.
So assuming you want to keep in bare arms, you have to keep it
in your car. You can't you know, you can't take it to the
Bengals game. Therefore, you're required to keep it in your car. And
if the city says, if you're the victim of a crime, we're going
to punish you further, that will dissuade people from exercising their constitutional right.
Is that the argument that sounds like it? I mean, aside from how
advisable it may or may not be to keep your gun in the car.
This the thing to keep in mind is the Ohio firearm Uniformity Law. There's
no exceptions for hey what they're trying to address here is a real problem.
So we'll let it slide. No, Ohio law is Ohio law. Yeah,
and you have to comply with it, even if you're on city council.
Well, James Bogan, by the way, how's the practice the law
in the bows in the Hamlet County Courthouse or things slowing down this time of
the year as they always do. Still very busy. I mean last year
at this time too, after the jury cutoff date, I was super busy
all the way through the end of the month because people, criminals must be
served. And James Bogan once again, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.
But I would anticipate if you got your crystal ball out, this law will
remain in effect until a judge takes a look at it and rolls it unconstitutional.
Is that your prediction, that's my prediction. I mean I could see
it. Obviously, we have to wait and see. Somebody's got to file
something. Yep. James Bogan, Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to
you. Thank you, same to you, Bill. Always a privilege to
beyond God bless you. Let's continue with more. The line becomes available five

sponsors again the cribb the Nativity in his eighty fourth year at Eton Park.
The Kribbathing Nativity sponsored by Western and Southern as a tradition here in Cincinnati
and was dedicated on December of the eighth and goes through January seventh, twenty
twenty four. Located in an Eden Park next to the Crone Conservatory. The
Crib and the Nativity is a reverent recreation of the scene of the First Christmas
and includes a rustic stable, figures of the Holy Family and more, plus
live animals, put together by the Beat and Barn family of Criten and Kentucky,
which has constructed the display for the last several decades. Donations left in
the donations box are matched by Western and Southern and all all those moneys go
to the Salvation Army. Last year raised about one hundred and twelve thousand dollars.
Western and Southern's Cribononativity is the company's holiday gift to the people of greater
Cincinnati. Bringing those together to celebrate the holidays and Christmas, helping those in
need at the same time is the key element of Western and Southern's commitment to
making Cincinnati the best place in the world to live, work, enjoy life,
and to thrive. While interest rates are on the rise everywhere else.
