The afternoon of the Christ David. Right now, the Reds are back in
town and taking the long queue. They were five and five on their road
trip on the West Coach and that normally is a victory, but it doesn't
feel like one. But the Cubs are in town. Double tip tomorrow day
night, doubleheader split makeup game at one oh five in the regular hym at
six forty and more. Plus the EBN fireworks are ongoing. Special time to
be an American. But joining you and I now is Congressman brad Winstrip,
who spent years in the military service and also he's on the chair of the
Subcommittee on COVID, also on the Intelligence Committee in the House. And Congressman
doctor brad Winstrip, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And first of
all, I had a guest on a couple of days ago who talked about
here comes COVID nineteen again with the boosters being developed, that sometime in September,
sometime in October, we're gonna have a booster, and there was some
reporting that Joe Biden was going to require all of us to get the booster.
And here we're back again with them asks as a doctor, as head
of the COVID Committee is all that required? What do we have to look
forward to this fall? Well, it doesn't seem like any lessons were learned
out of what we went through with the pandemic the first time. And there's
just a real disconnect when America is hearing on what they should do with their
health from a politician, from the President of the United States in this case.
And it would be one thing if it was from a physician that was
actually treating COVID patients, But this is the wrong way to go. And
the Advisory Committee on Immunization they're going to vote in mid September on whether to
recommend the updated COVID nineteen vaccine. And I don't even understand that a vote.
It should be medical decision or draw a conclusion and base it on data
and a life threatening emergency, and then it should be carried down to you
and your doctor to have that conversation. But the President, he said he's
going to ask for additional funding for this Tentatively it's recommended that it will likely
be recommended. Everybody get it, no matter whether they've gotten it before not.
That sounds like a lot of word salad and certainly not assuring to patients.
So discussion of mandating another vaccine for every American before it's even been approved
doesn't seem to fall in line very much. And you know, the same
people that are always talking about being in favor of choice don't seem to be
in favor of choice when it comes to some of these vaccines, and the
data doesn't speak to it. You know, I think that we need a
little more bedside manner coming from our public health officials, and it needs to
come from public health officials and preferably ones that are actually treating patients and congressmen.
According to a cable news show this morning, ninety seven percent of us
this does not include a legal aliens or never tested, but ninety seven percent
of American people either have gotten COVID nineteen recovered and have the antibodies, or
have had numerous boosters and vaccines. And so is there any sense, uh
that if you've already been vaccine up, you don't have to get it at
all, or is that going to be mandated anyway? Well, there are
variants, and that's something to be considered by and large. As your immune
system kicked in, and I can tell you that. At one point I
was scheduled to go to Germany. They said, you have to have a
booster before you go, And I said, wouldn't it be good to take
a look at my antibodies and T cells because I've been vaccinated and I've had
COVID, So why is that not being considered? So I did get tested.
A strong number for the antibodies was forty. My number was eight hundred
and twenty one. These are the types of conversations it should be taking place
with doctors, and doctors need to be provided with data that they can trust.
And so all these things coming from the top really need a lot of
explaining, and they don't, and no one gets it. And that's what
makes it very difficult and has greatly diminished the trust in our public health system
across America. Did you have to get the vaccine boost or anyway, even
though you're twenty times with your T cells? Did you have to get it
anyway to go to Germany? Yes? And you know you run the risk
of a hyperobune response when you have too much. And again, these are
conversations that should be had with your doctor, and instead you you have school
boards making decisions. You have all types of decisions being made by people that
are not your physician, who don't know you and don't understand necessarily your concerns
with underlying conditions that you may that you may already have, or you may
be worried about, such as myocarditis. And young people, you know,
if they're if they're at low risk of getting COVID or at least having deleterious
effects from it, why do they have to get vaccinated and take the risk
of myocarditis that may be out there. And again, that's a conversation to
have with your doctor. And of course I've seen numerous studies on masking.
The masking, according to Lancet and other journals, is very limited usages and
ninety fives gives off carcinogens CO two build up, especially in pregnant women.
To have a six or seven year old, you have children of tender age,
to ask them to wear a mask to play in the playground or go
into school is utterly ridiculous. And I think Faucci got it right in the
beginning when he said the mask don't work unless it's in an operating room setting,
and that's not the way people live their lives, so we'll see what
happens there. Secondly, one of the cable news shows this morning had a
report on one hundred and eighty seven Afghan women had made their way out of
Afghanistan. They were stuck out by a charity organization, and they're now in
the United States. Those are the people that we need to bring to this
country because of how we left them high and dry. And I don't know
if you saw the report, but it's sad that having spent twenty some years
in Afghanistan, to the tune of several thousand lives, hundreds of thousands of
Afghan lies, billions of dollars, things are the same way now is they
were twenty five years ago. Having served in the military, when you see
those reports, what comes to your mind, Well, it's just it's devastating,
without without a doubt. I didn't serve in Afghanistan, although I went
over there as a member of Congress at the height of things. And I
can tell you that I supported two of my interpreters that are now in the
United States and ones of cardiologists at Ohio State, the others doing family practice
in Texas. And these are amazing people, and we left so many behind.
Never did I think that we would do that, And we passed bills
bipartisan to expedite the process to help people get out, especially those that have
helped us. But the women that we see, they're defenseless in this situation.
And I'm so grateful that people were able to get them out. But
it's really said. They have made so many gains as far as where they
could stand in society, with education and everything else, and now it's all
being torn down. And why Because the President the United States wanted to have
us out of there by a certain date, not by certain terms, but
by a certain date. We left our equipment behind, and we left our
friends behind. We left those that served us behind when we were promised promising
them that they could come to America. And you should see the movie The
Covenant, and that's based on a true story of a guy who went back
to help a guy get out, that worked to help him and saved his
life through the battles. This is a mess, and these are types of
things that have hurt morale within our military. And I think Bill is one
of the reasons that our recruiting is down, no question, because why joined
the military that is racist, that is sexist, defending a country not worth
defending. Some of the saddest moments about a year ago, maybe it was
in front of one of your committees where Secretary Austin and Mark Milly, Chairman
of the Joint Chiefs. So the two biggest problems face America today is number
one climate change and number two white supremacy. And I'm looking at that and
I'm thinking, you gotta be kidding me, But why would you want to
fight and die for a country that is a white supremacists or everywhere? And
climate change is the biggest issue happening in the world. Was is a bunch
of bs? And I know Millie's going out the door now, but let's
face it. Colin Powell said that the military is the greatest organization in the
world to have persons of different races, different genders or whatever it might be,
male, female or otherwise, to go to the military work together with
one goal. And the goal should not be climate change identification and climate change
mitigation. I mean, that's not the purpose of the military, but that's
what we're being told. And in the South, I had a guest on
a week ago, a disproportionate number of Southerners joined the military, and they're
not doing it anymore because of the tearing down of things like the Reconciliation Monument
at Arlington and change in the name of military basis. And also it's gone
woke. The military goes woke, it feeds into the hands of our enemies,
and that's a serious matter. And of course you joined about twenty five
years ago, and which was great as a doctor to join the military,
special special calling. And that military is not even close to this military now,
No, it's not. Why, well, it really isn't you know.
When I joined the nineteen ninety eight i joined because our country kept getting
attacked. Bill Clinton was president of United States. I didn't vote for Bill
Clinton, but I'm glad to live in a country where we get to elect
our leaders. And that's who America elected, and he was a commander in
chief. The feeling is much different today. And I just retired in December,
so after twenty five years, and I can tell you the military I
joined in the one that I served with in Iraq for a year, we
were void of all those complications. And I feel sorry for people that don't
understand what it's like to not have any prejudice and where things are merit based.
And it occurred to me and somebody mentioned to me that race didn't matter
in the military, that as chief of surgery, had fifteen people underneath me,
and I was in Caucasian, and I never thought about it because all
that mattered is that we were all Americans. And when they do these types
of things, it splinters us. And I hear it today from members in
the military. And before I got out, I'm getting, you know,
emails on the new transgender policy and this and that. And I talked to
reservists in our area and guardsmen, and they said, we are getting flooded
with this type of stuff and having to sit through lectures on this stuff rather
than training for our missions. And that's that's a real problem, and that
brings people down. And so when it's time to reenlist, they don't want
to. They want to move on. And that's not the organization they signed
up for. They signed up for one where there was no affirmative action,
where there was no prejudice, no bias. And I can tell you Bill,
you know, when I got elected to Congress the first time, several
people from my unit that served with me and under me of color, et
cetera. Probably not even Republicans came to my swearing in because that's how we
were as Americans. We were Americans first, and so all this stuff just
creates tremendous division. And don't even get me going on climate change. There
was just a report out from sixteen hundred scientists that really pointed out, if
you're based on data, there is no climate change crisis that we have to
deal with, but we have to accommodate to whatever the weather is and whatever
it happens to be. So these are real problems for our military right now
today, and I would I think the mandate has had a terribly negative effect
and make the mandate to get a vaccine that's controversial. You understand, when
you join the military, if you're going to travel places where there's high risk
of diseases, you get vaccinated for those diseases. And you have your diseases
that the vaccines for them have been proven over a long period time. No
one ever argued that that was not a concern. But this is a controverse
without a doubt, there are still unanswered questions, adverse events and who really
needs to get vaccinated and why they need to get vaccinated. And you put
out a mandate without any medical explanation or conversation with the doctor, and that's
a turn off to Americans. We don't do well with because I said so,
well, you know, pollution is one thing, climate change is another.
And the climate change is every three months, whether we like it or
not. We have seasons. And secondly, greenland was called greenland because it
was green. Now it's an ice shelf. And we go through this.
But when you get lots of billions of dollars involved, so the liberals democrats
can hand out to their friends and university types lots of money. And secondly,
it means government control of your life. The liberals go nuts when you
talk about handing out money and control of your life. And that is climate
change. And right now CO two emissions are down every year because our unleaded
vehicles drive better. Three percent worldwide we have windmills and solar three percent.
The other ninety seven percent fossil fuels. The only way to come out of
poverty in Africa and Asia is to use fossil fuels and use them properly.
We're all against pollution, none of us, I, no one I know,
believes that human beings can actually materially affect climate change, and every time
there's a hurricane or of fire. That's another example for the mainstream media to
go nuts as if these things are unique. And before I let you go,
one other issue, that is the health of Mitch McConnell. A couple
of days, a few days ago, he froze up again. And then
you had President Joe Biden, who is going downhill mentally fast. You got
Senator Diane Feinstein who's in a wheelchair and she's literally in a guardianship, who
can't manage your own affairs. And then you got Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania,
who is not mentally alert. When you run around the Congress and interact
with some of these individuals in their eighties and have serious problems, first of
all, give me your take on Senator McConnell and also Joe Biden, Diane
Feinstein, John Fetterman, etc. Well, first of all, in the
House, we don't have as much of that. We're a little less aged
in the House, but it's certainly a concern. And you know, I
look at the situation we see with our president and he's clearly in decline,
and that's just and that is part of aging. And we've all seen it
with members of our family, and I saw it with patients and this and
the signs are all there. The problem I have with a lot of this
is the lack of recognition of it by his peers and by the people,
and his party especially. They want to act like nothing's wrong, and clearly
it is. You know, when I look at miss McConnell, what I'm
thinking about is I hope whatever's going on, that he's getting the care that
he properly would need to diagnose whatever's taking place and be treated for it.
And I can't give you a definitive diagnosis. I've talked to some other doctors.
We have some ideas, but I don't want to make conjecture on that.
I just hope that he's getting the care that he needs. And you
know, that really is the same point with with Diane Feinstein and Fetterman,
is it? Is it really where they should be at this point? And
I know my wife said, if I ever see you like that, there's
not a chance we're going to continue to have you go out there and try
to lead the country when you're not all together there at this time, and
I think that the humane side of us should be taking a look at all
of that and instead of the political side too often just trying to ignore these
things for the sake of political power. Now, lastly, there was a
report on NEWSMACC and at about a month some bombshell's gonna be dropped Joe Biden,
some tape recording or whatever. Do you have any particularized knowledge about how
far along the bribery scandals are the bags of cash that were handed out by
Hunter Biden to family members and the bag of cocaine in the White House.
They couldn't locate who in that world, I mean, who around us has
been a cocaine head? How about that guy right over there? But nonetheless,
this rumors and conservative media that there's some bombshell coming out about Joe Biden.
What can you tell us about out if anything. Well, I don't
really have anything on that, and I never want to talk about something too
much until it's actually been confirmed. But we've confirmed so many things that have
come forward. The millions of dollars that have gone to the Biden family from
foreign countries, and why is that? And there's just so much that should
raise tremendous concern. And the concern I have is why is no one else
interested in the mainstream media? Why has it just nothing to see here?
Hunter is a good boy. Well, there's a lot of questions to be
raised, and seems to me we have a government that's willing to put those
things aside if you're from a certain party or part of a certain families.
And that's a problem that we have within our agencies and with our government right
now. But I say James Comer and the Oversight Committee have done a great
job. And when you have the gabbles and you can get answers to your
questions like we've been doing on the Selex subcommittee on COVID, you find an
awful lot about people that is nefarious and doesn't look right, and it's not
fair to the American people. We have the responsibility in Congress to provide oversight.
We're the representatives of the people. This is a government of the people,
or it used to be, and we want to make sure that we're
running the country and not agencies of unelected people that seem to be able to
manipulate things to their own political advantage rather than actually acting out of honesty and
truth and justice. I'm looking at a coffee mug that says truth, justice
and the American way bred are winstrip is right there, right right there.
I'm looking at a coffee mug, and that's the goal. We often fall
short, but that's the goal. Congressman brad Winstrop, once again, thank
you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. It's always a pleasure. Bill.
Thank you all. Let's continue with more and later on. We've scheduled
an interview with Jim Scott about his ALS diagnosis. That's coming up later our
News Radio. Seven hundred year Annheuser Busch and there are sixty five thousand people
who helped bring every one of our beers to life. I had a little
bit of a different presentation at this minute, but I had some shocking news
last night about Jim Scott, the living legend who has contracted Luke Eirik's disease
ALS. I got a text from Tony Bender. Did you see on Facebook
that Jim Scott announced publicly that he has ALS? And I would think the
main reason he's doing that publicly is to benefit others and not him. One
of the hallmarks of Jim Scott's career is that he thought of others a lot
more than he ever thought of himself, which is a rarity in this business.
And you may recall many years ago someone put together a list of the
greatest radio personalities of all time, and Jim Scott led the list because he
came here in nineteen sixty eight and March or April he was on SAI.
And I can recall as a student Xavier, living at home, I would
listen to Jim Scott on SAI along with Ron Brittain and Dusty Rhodes, the
American Dream and the great Dave Reinhardt, whose son, Scott Reinhart his operation
manager today. And that's my first introduction to Jim Scott. I had not
formerly met him though, until nineteen eighty four. And in nineteen eighty four
he was scheduled to go to work at ninety four point one is the Morning
Guy. And at that point Randy Michaels and Bobby Lawrence were big time in
a buying local and other radio stations, and just as circumstance would haven't that
Jim Scott radio station ninety four point one was purchased by Randy Michaels and Bobby
Lawrence on the day that Jim Scott was scheduled to appear there for the first
time. So he had already spent from nineteen sixty eight to nine eighty four,
what sixteen years and one or two other stations before he came to ninety
four point one, And so Randy Michaels made the call to Jim Scott that
you now worked for us, we're going to move you to seven hundred W
LW, which he said great. And so one afternoon down at three East
fourth Street, Jim Scott walked in with Randy Michaels in front of him to
introduce Jim Scott around. And that was in nineteen eighty four, and at
that point here the morning man was Gary Burbank. Of course, Gary's comedic
brilliance could best be exhibited during the day in the afternoon when he had more
time to put boots the bits together with Doc Wolf, etc. And so
it lined up in nineteen eighty four that Jim Scott would do mornings that at
that point still Randy Michaels and Alan Gartner were doing mid days, and the
afternoon noon was held down by Gary Burbank and the crew, and then at
night was six o'clock was Bob Trumpy, at nine to one was yours truly.
Then one to six am was Lynn Gladhill. So that ideation quickly changed
when the truck and Bozo shows up. The truck and Bozo showed up a
few months later and we had the lineup in place, which was in the
morning, Jim Scott the anchor, in fact, he would break the news,
and then Mike McConnell, and then I had moved to twelve to three
by that point we comment on the news, and then Gary Burbank three to
six would make us laugh about the news, and then six o'clock. By
that time that it rolled around, Chris Collinsworth and Andy Furman were here,
and then nine o'clock Scott Sloan and some others including Rocky Bohman showed up sometime
about fifteen or twenty years ago. And the beat goes on. One thing
about Jim Scott that I have, by the way, he's coming to you
and I in about twenty five minutes Jim Scott, I talked to him off
the air, and he's gonna come and talk about als and talk about a
message to the radio listeners at one oh five today, that's about what about
twenty three minutes from now. And so the one great thing I respected about
Jim Scott he was able to do what he did angering no one in the
process. There was not no one negative about Jim Scott. There's a lot
of negativity when it comes to me, or when it comes to Mike McConnell,
or when it comes to Scott sloan, or it comes to Gary Jeff
Walker, and some people don't like it, but who doesn't like Jim Scott.
And the hallmark of his career, which at this station lasted about thirty
five years, The hallmark was that he gave to others. He contracted polio
as a child, fortunately a rather mild case, but it continue to affect
him for the rest of his life and he always I can recall the bell
ringing and the walks, whether it was cancer or heart disease, or the
Salvation Army or now als. Jim Scott wants to use his body as a
vessel to increase awareness about Luke Garrick's disease, and there's been some minor improvements.
I know. Shari Poalolo of Channel five has been concerned about this issue
for a while because she had done stories and maybe members of her family have
been affected. But I texted with her and later on she may have on
Jim Scott on Channel five to talk about what's going to happen. On Sunday,
September the seventeenth at went in woods Park at nine thirty am, and
Jim Scott wants to use the time remaining in his life and hopefully it's long.
This is a tough one. This was like pancreatic cancer. This is
a tough one. Letting can use it in service to others. So he
was selected about ten years ago as the top radio personality of all time and
Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky. He lives in Indiana, and so in the heyday,
we had Jim Scott living in Indiana, and we had Gary Burbank who
lived in Kentucky. I was born in Kentucky and raised in Cincinnati. And
we had Randy Michaels from thither and fro and some others, and so we
covered the Try State and we did it in a way that I think was
the greatest singular radio station in the history of the United States of America was
right here and Jim Scott was that anchor, and of course he retired like
in twenty seventeen, and at that point he had decided he wanted to spend
more time with Donna, more time doing other stuff. He's now eighty years
old, so six years ago he would have been seventy four. And he
said, I simply wanted to do other things, and his life would have
it. Mike McConnell was free of his contract on g N in Chicago,
So at that point Mike McConnell was able to be slid into the morning spot
and we just kept on keeping on, which is incredible, and I think
at this point we're going to keep on keeping on for a long period of
time. So I spoke to him off the air. I want to be
I want to do what Jim Scott wants to be done. Whatever Jim Scott
says to do, that's what we're gonna do. When he wanted to come
on today at one o'clock and to talk to you and about what his journey's
like with als, and we'll see where that goes, he said, I'm
not asking you to pledge money from my team. He read on Facebook I'm
just going to join a group, make my own contribution, and ask other
people to consider walking with us. And he said, you don't have to
have als or even know someone with the disease to participate in the walk.
He said on Facebook high I'm Jim Scott. I hope you will take this
time to read this Facebook posting. It's something that I've been thinking about for
quite a while, and now it's time to share some news with you and
to ask for your help. When I first came to Cincinnati to do the
morning show on the rock and roll station in thirteen sixty SAI, it was
the spring of nineteen sixty eight. As I got to know my neighbors in
Delhi and people throughout greater Cincinnati, I realized that I really liked this area
and the people here are the ones that really convinced me to stay and not.
Over the years, I've had a sincere connection to the people of Cincinnati.
As the morning guy on SAI, I was like a pied piper.
Hundreds of listeners got pledges and we learned to walk the walk, and we
learned to talk to talk. He also was one of the first organizations Jim
Scott worked with the March of Dimes, and he said they picked the right
guy from Arch of Dimes because in nineteen fifty four, I was twelve years
old, I contracted polio and the March of Dimes really came through from my
family. After immediate hospitalizations with the infectious stage of polio, I needed intense
rehab. The March of Dimes paid for me to go off and live away
from my family for six months of rehabilitation and upstate New York. I was
only twelve years old. The polio didn't kill me, but it knocked the
heck out of my left hand and arm and my right leg. So when
the Marchantdimes asked me to lead the organization a new five mile fundraising walking Cincinnati,
I said, absolutely, I will do it. Science found a way
to prevent polio. Jim Scott went on to say, so it will not
be wonderful if doctors and scientists can find a way now to defeat ALS.
Since I've been living with this disease for a couple of years, I've been
introduced to dozens and dozens of wonderful people also dealing with Luke Eric's disease disease
ALS. We learned from each other not to give up hope, but to
keep on going. I go to an ALS support group once a month and
recently learned about the annual ALS walk, which is on Sunday, September seventeenth
at Winton Woods. I wouldn't note that Tony Bender indicates that in Boone County
in a September the sixteenth. I'm not asking you for a pledge of money
for my team. I've started a team. I'm just going to join the
group and make my own contribution and ask other people to consider walking with us.
You don't have to have ALS to walk with us, but if you
do, we'll meet that day and we won't have anything, we will have
something in common. Jim Scott went on to say, I've had a wonderful
life. I'm still having a wonderful life and I have I don't have any
intention to check it out anytime soon. My walking abilities have changed fundamentally.
I now use a cane. I name my cane Abel, my trustee.
Able makes it possible for me to walk without falling, though I've done it
a few times. SAI and seven hundred WLW. I have probably know my
voice LS affects the voice. That's the part that really irritates me. But
you got to keep your sense of humor. I can still talk and if
you're listening closely, you'll be able to understand me. It sounds like a
Beatles song. Listen, let me whisper in your ear. The Walk to
Defeat Als is coming right up Sunday, September seventeenth. People are going to
gather at nine thirty in the morning and I will give you a website to
look into if you like to join the walk, make a donation, or
just walk. It is als Ohio dot org. Als Ohio dot org.
Don't have to have ALS or a close family member to be part of the
walk. Thank you for reading this. I wasn't sure how I was going
to tell everybody what's going on with me. Close friends have noticed and I'm
walking a bit slower and that my voice is not the same as it was
before. I've told some people, and my wife Donna has been a rock.
But it's time to open up to the listeners of seven hundred WLW and
Walk to Defeat Als on Sunday, September the seventeenth of Wintonwoods. Facebook is
like all the times I've gone to Fountain Square with a microphone to promote a
good call. In nineteen sixty eight, it was the March of Dimes.
Now it's twenty twenty three and it's ALS. As I've said so many times
on the radio, thanks for listening and thanks for reading my Facebook posting.
So shall we say that hit like a thunderbolt here because many of us have
not seen Jim Scott for a while and we did not know something was wrong.
But he related in one story that the symptoms began about two and a
half or three years ago, which he largely ignored for about six months,
and then he got a hold of doctor Dean Kariakas, a friend to his,
who's, of course the great cardiologist at Christ and then the Association began
to put Jim Scott in touch with the right people. And as I understand,
in ALS is an exclusion diagnosis. There's no definitive test to say you
have it, but you do various tests to make sure you don't have this
or that, and what remains is ALS. So he's been diagnosed. At
last night he went public and he's going to be with you and I in
about fifteen minutes, and we'll see where it goes, and I told him
off the air, Jim Scott, I love you too many times, especially
men have a hard time expressing emotion. And I think of my time here
since nineteen eighty three. He was always present, He was always available.
If I had something going on or he had something going on. We spoke
off the air and we helped each other. There was a match set up
at Kenwood Country Club under the auspices of the great Gil Gussweiler had pro there
for about twenty five or thirty years, in which Jim Scott would play me
in golf and somehow the winner I had to make a donation, or maybe
the loser made a donation, and I more than happily did it. I
can't tell you how many hours Jim Scott would spend outside or inside Kroger stores
ringing the bell for the Salvation Army and him at a time when Polio was
defeated the March of Dimes which began with FDR and Jim Scott picked up the
banner in nineteen sixty eight, and now Polio largely does not exist. We
look forward to the day, maybe because of AI and all the financial contributions
we can say at some point that Leuke Garrick's disease no longer exist, must
like we can say with polio. So let's take a short break. When
we continue, Jim Scott will be here at one oh seven pm today to
talk about the diagnosis and what the future holds for him as we continue to
move on. I would also note that he loves the Reds. He was
often a fixture in the Finlay market parade. The Reds are not playing today.
I said on August first, they were in first place, and now
they're a game and a half out of the wild card. So they've gone
through the ten game road trip on the Left coast five and five, which
is pretty good. But tomorrow's game at one oh five first pitch, then
in the evening sixty and then the game Saturday and Sunday against the Cubs are
bigger than Montana. Nothing would excite Jim Scott more than for the Reds to
get into the playoffs and make a deep run. So stay tuned with that
interview, and you might want to tell family and friends to listen up because
many times this disease affects someone's ability to speak. We're gonna get in with
Jim Scott, he said, ask me any questions you want. I want

and you'll be there T Mobile Arena here in Las Vegas expected als and many
many years ago, I think it's been ten or fifteen years someone put together
the greatest radio personalities of all time in the Try State, and there was
a consensus that number one was Jim Scott. He is and he retired in
twenty seventeen, the greatest of all time, having spent almost fifty years in
radio, and I think about thirty five years here. I can recall in
nineteen sixty eight going back and forth to Xavier, and I was listening to
Jim Scott almost every morning on SAI and Jim Scott, welcome to your radio
station, and welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Jim, first of
all, I left him. We spoke off the year briefly about the fact
that that I love you and men don't say that enough to each other,
and the standards that you said in broadcasting are unbridled. That you're the greatest
radio personality of all time. And I guess the first question might be why
did Jim Scott to go public with this last night on Facebook. Well,
it had to do with an opportunity really in that there's going to be a
walk Tony benders aware of these walks. There's going to be a walk to
defeat als on Sunday, September seventeen at Wentwoods Park. And I'll give you
the website, but people learn to learn a little bit more about it.
One of the things about this stupid disease, stupid, nasty use a lot
of terms I can't use in the radio. But for a lot of people
it affects your voice, which really irritates me. As you would understand.
And so you can tell the difference in my voice right now. It's I
lost some of the range and it sounds gravelly. So but other than that,
I can still walk. I'm using a cane now. It's just smart.
I mean, I've already fallen down a few times, so this reduces
the chance of falling, and so I'm looking forward to this walk and just
get it over with. As far as you know, you have something like
this happen, you start to share it with family, and then some close
friends and and then I knew about a week or so ago Willie. We
both love golf. I've played it since I was a kid. But I've
completely lost my left side. My hand. My left leg works, thank
goodness, but my hand on my arm it just hangs down. So to
continue to play golf, I had to go one armed. So God bless
the men from Elder they've got don't edit this, but they've got a league
they called the Sons of Pitches, like a pitching wedge. They play once
a week on Wednesday morning. And so I've been playing with them a little
bit last year and quite a bit almost every week this year, and I
just love it and they're just great guys, and they really helped me out
and it's fun to keep playing. And so about a week or so ago,
I shared it with them. I thought I'd played golf with all twenty
four members of this group. They helped me out. It's obvious I've got
an issue. So I explained it to them, and I thought, let's
just get it out there and tied in with promoting the walk YEP. And
as I understand it, Jim Scott, this is a diagnosis of exclusion.
By that, I mean there's not like a test to take a blood test
or whatever, and they say, okay, you identified that this is a
diagnosis of exclusion. When did you first start having symptoms and what were your
concerns at that point. Has it been a few months, as it been
a year? When did it it's been a couple of years. In the
fall of twenty twenty, I was playing golf and I just realized that I
seemed to be losing some strength on the left side. If you're a right
hand to Godfrey, we get our power from that pool on the left side,
you know. And so I went to it used to a friend of
ours, doctor Kerry Yakis, and I said, can you recommend somebody?
So I finally got an appointment with a neurologist that you see, doctor Jonathan
Smith. And that was in March of two thousand and twenty one, and
I wasn't really having any major problems at that point. And ironically, Bill,
he was on April first, two thousand twenty one, and it was
April Full's Day and it was opening day for the Reds. So I participated
in the early market opening day grade. And then I had already seen him
a week before and he did a bunch of testing, and so then he
said, well, Jim, I'm sorry to tell you, but I think
you have als. And I thought to myself, he had to be kidney.
It's opening day, it's April for you're telling me I've got a disease
named after a ball player and struck me as bizarre. So that was a
funny edge to all of this. You just have to look through that fielder
of humor. And he said, well, I'm sorry to tell you that
I'm going to refer you to another doctor. Here's a name, if you
ever meet this man, God bless him. His name is doctor Robert Neil,
and he's the ALS expert around here. Is there a medication I can
recall? I know Shari Paalolo has done a lot of reporting on LS and
we've come a long way, I would imagine. But when you talk to
doctor Neil and others, what do they say is the medical journey you're going
to be on? Oh? Well, first of all, I thought encouraged
when he said first he said, I don't know, maybe it is,
maybe it isn't. So we did tests in three months later her for well,
actually a year later, in the spring of two twenty two, I
was officially diagnosed with it. So he did say, it's really coming on
pretty slow for you, Jim. So he said, that's good news.
He said, I expect you to be around a long time. So as
an attorney, could I retain you in case it turned out to be bum
advice? Yes you can. We'll do something as far as as far as
the your lovely wife, Donna. Howis many times when we guys have difficulties,
we want to keep it secret, don't tell people. We want to
ignore it, don't want to go to the doctor, and I would imagine
Donna has been a living saint. She has been for many years, and
accepting that true, that's true. Yeah, she's a great wife, and
she's certainly as a person that helps me the most getting when I wake up
in the morning until I finally go to bed. Yeah, it's wonderful.
And she had some mixed feelings about it, but I said, you know,
I think it's time enough people know. Back to that bit about the
golf guys about a week or so ago, I shared with them I've got
it, and I thought, I'm starting to tell quite a few people here,
so why don't we get it out. And when I became aware of
this walk, which I intend to be part of, I thought, it's
obvious. You know, we were in broadcasting and think about marketing and how
you can sell something. Well, I'm a pretty good salesman. I can
certainly sell the benefits of this walk, which is which is the seventeenth Jim
Scott Sunday, two weeks from this coming Sunday. I think in Boone County
it might be Saturday, the Saturday the sixteenth, but we're going to put
that on the website and Jim Scott, What message do you want to give
to the hundreds of thousands of people in the Try State that woke up with
you every morning just by happenstance. About a week or so ago, on
YouTube, I saw this video of Jim Scott signing off, you know,
I think it was twenty seventeen. Yeah, it's I go to YouTube,
but there's a sign off video of Jim Scott about a week ago. And
I saw it and I replayed it a couple of times, looked at us
and that's great. That's the way, that's the way to do it.
It's been about six years. You've been dealing with these issues of als for
about three years now. But what message would you like to give to the
hundreds of thousands of people that you woke up with every morning and got them
to work? Get up, get to work? What message you want to
give to the listeners people? I think I already know this, but life
is a challenge, and we get challenges every day, and I guess of
you them as opportunities. I used to when I would meet people, Bill,
I would say, please listen to me on the radio. Now I
look for people that need an audience, so I start up conversations with anybody
and everybody, and you talk to somebody and just listen. Then you talk
about sparking joy and that's pretty easy to do it understand the concept. So
I'm not trying to be out of I can't hear the term unrealistic about this.
I mean, I know what I got and I know it's changing my
voices. I can still be understood, I think, and especially person to
person. So you don't give up. I mean a lot of people have
issues in their life and you don't give up, and you share it.
I think. I know I'm going to get a lot of support. Thank
you for calling me, and was about time he told me, I love
you willing well. Going back a long time, I can recall in nineteen
eighty four when you were at your first day of work was at ninety four
point one, I think, and Randy Michaels and Bobby Lawrence had purchased or
bought ninety four point one, and instead of you working there, you were
the missing link and the missing piece too, I think, the greatest radio
station in this country. And when you were plugged into the morning slot for
the next thirty five years, that lineup was like the big red machine as
far as radio was concerned, and you were the anchor because you were the
guy that I would listened to, taught me radio by your example. And
I can't think of all the thousands and thousands of people that have been benefited
by Jim Scott's involvement in so many charities, Salvation Army to all the rest.
And I know that everyone here wishes you the best. You're a living
legend. Anything that we can do to help you, we're going to do.
And once again, Jim Scott, I love you, and you will
not walk alone in this journey. Thank you. Will keep up the good
radio. You haven't missed the beat. I hear McConnell in the morning.
I slept in a little bit this morning and I missed it. I got
a note from a friend that said, my kids and nice things to say.
So I appreciate that. Well, any anything I can help you with,
Willie let me go. I'll let you know. But all the love
you gave is going to be returned. Thank you. I think you're right.
I appreciate it. Okay, So Sunday, September seventeen, I think
around nine thirty people get together and then we walk a couple of miles and
then I'll go get a beer someplace. Jim Scott, thank you and and
I wish you and yours nothing but the best. You're courageous and you're the
definition of a great radio talk show host. And thank you this afternoon for
coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Jim, Thank you,
Willie go Red. Yeah, they're gonna win win a double dip tomorrow.
Thank you, Jim. Okay your reaction. Jim Scott is going public with
the fact that he has Luke Garry's disease, and all of those that he's
helped for the past fifty years, I think we'll come out to help him.

known Frank Sybell of ACR gun Night pulls and sent me a quick note saying
that he's in tears listening to Jim and Jim is eighty years old. He
said he's lived a good life and much like the legendary Simon Leese, Sheriff
Simon Lees He's told friends and family members he's good to go, and I
would anticipate that Jim Scott, who largely defeated polio, it's going the same
attitude when it comes to ALS, and that is, let's raise some money
necessary to hopefully solve a problem that is certainly fixable, and that down the
road. That's a tough diagnosis all of us. I'm sure it's true in
your case. Wonder as you get older, how's it going to end?
How's the transition going to take place? Is there a heaven? Is there
a hell? Maybe purgatory? How does my life end? Because father time
is undefeated, untied, unscored on. Hopefully at the end of one's life
you can live it as well as Jim has lived his understands he might have
a year or two left, who knows, maybe more. I have a
text here from a great lady in the Westchester area that says that there's a
woman who's had ALS now for almost twenty years and she's still fighting in and
living her life and doing quite well. Thank you. And so yes,
there is a way in a sense out of it. I don't want to
give out her last name, but she says that first name is Kim and
that to listening you speak about Jim Scott, I two have always loved him,
and now my deceased mom adored him. Of a wonderful friend named Lorie
Carrie who lives near me in Westchester. She's an incredible woman who was diagnosed
with ALS nineteen plus years ago. This is her twentieth year walking in Wynton
Woods to defeat a ls SO. And there was another woman I'm aware of
that lived twenty years with ALS. So you don't know if Jim Scott is
a day, a week, a month, a year, five years,
ten years, or twenty years, don't know. But I know he will
fight this like a warrior poet. I know he's gonna have moments of pleasure
and a lot of moments of pain and uncertainty. And I would think Jim
is concerned, especially about his lovely wife Donna and his family and how they're
going to deal with it. But at the end of the day, much
as he overcame polio as a twelve year old boy, I think he'll make
the most of this, live out a long and productive life. But Jim
Scott, I am certain that those in the tri State who listen to you
and receive such support and love from you over the years will pay it back.
And it all begins on September the seventeenth, Wynton Woods for the ls
Walk, which I know many here will be involved in. One thirty Home

The changing of attitude toward marijuana with the one thirty report, I'm Jack
Crumley breaking Now. Dozens of states already allow the consumption of marijuana in some
way under certain circumstances. Now, federal leaders are considering moving pot into a
lower risk category. ABC's Elizabeth Shoalza has more. This would be a big
change that would ease federal restrictions on marijuana. Currently, it's classified as a
Schedule one controlled substance. That's the same category as some of the most dangerous
drugs with no accepted medical use, like heroin or LSD. But the Health
and Human Services Department is now reportedly asking to reclassify marijuana as a lower risk
Schedule three drug the same category as ketamine or testosterone. The state of Kentucky
recently has been moving toward legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes. That's already legal in
Ohio, and voters in the Buckeye State are now going to decide a ballot
issue this November which would legalize pot for recreational purposes. Now the latest traffic

had no more road trips from Hell, No, I don't. I don't
think they crossed the Mississippi for the rest of the season except for well,
Minnesota comes here. I don't think they crossed the I think they're in the
Eastern time zone the rest of the month in September, I believe. If
I'm not, if i'm I mean they go to Detroit and New York,
Minnesota comes here. I think they go to Cleveland and the season So I'm
just saying it. I don't think that the road trips from you know where
are over with. See this one, this was like this was like National
Geographic the one they were just on. They went over fifty four hundred miles
of baseball the past week and a half and one five and five. Correct,
pretty good. Well they have to go to Detroit, right, gotta
go to the Mets. Yeah, then they have to go to Cleveland.
Well that's not bad. That's not bad, not bad at all, not
bad. We'll take that. Yes, So they're only one out of the
wild Card and they play the Cup and they play the Cubs this weekend.
They get that. You know, they're they're six out is it six?
So six or seven? They take three or four or sweep the Cubs,
they're right back in it. Who can tell. I mean, they're five
five on the road trip. You thought it was a disaster. Oh,
they swept the Angels one one in Arizona, won one San Francisco. So
they're five and five. You'll take that every day of the week, especially
especially their history out west is not good. Not good. Nost No,
Marty and Tracy talk about that that they don't do well in a ten game
road trip. No, they don't. And that's the second one they've had.
Remember they went. They went out there a few weeks ago too,
laite, right, So I don't know. I don't either, But Jim
Scott, we wish him well like a warrior poet. Yes, he will
the greatest morning personality of all time. Correct. I never heard that negative
downside word from anybody. Nope. And if if, and if somebody needed
help, organization needed help, Jim Scott was right there on the front row.
Als, that's a tough opponent, Jim Scott announced last night. He
hasn't. And we'll see what happens when you have time. Listen to the
interview. Second you're getting together some item for sports. But yes, sir,
it was very very interesting to hear from Jim Scott in his own words
about how it happened, why it happened, and nobody knows. Most get
it in the thirties, forties and fifties. Correct, Jim Scott contracted,
and he just turned eighty years old. Maybe he'll overcome it, Willie,
because he's got that Grippo bag in his back. Keep it away, keep
it there with you, that's right, Crippo fright sake. We'll see what
happens. But the Reds need pitching and that's they got two outfielders, so
uh, you know, maybe what's sure we need outfield they're both pretty good
ones and I guess they can play. They need pitching. Correct. So
the Cubs are in town. I bet it's going to be packed and stacked.
And then you got the John Barrett's at Western Southern WWB and fireworks on
Sunday Sday, Sunday night at nine oh seven, the big bang. It
will be something else, no doubt about it. Forty seven years of that
about that, that's a long time. Forty seven years of fireworks. So
they have at least three or four more years and then see what happens.
Correct, you signed another long term guaranteed contract. See what occurs at US
Open going on? And the joker was here at the Ladies Golf coming to
Kenwood Country Club. That's next week. Yeah, yeah, end Monday,
Saturday and Sunday. Ye Reds are in town. Next four with the Cubs
is bigger than Montana. And then they got the Mariners and then they continue
on Saint Louis next weekend, and then of course Bengals v Browns on the
tent a week from this Sunday. The National Football League kicks it off actually
that Thursday night and the city in Detroit, right, pretty good matchup there,
so we'll see what happens. Bringing on It's what I say, bringing
on who day Sega as I did in sports. Yes, sir, please
get me out of the Stewart report, Willian honor of the living legend,
Jim Scott, We leave you with the immortal words of the stew Triport.
Haglin heads it Haglins, I doubt will get nine inches today, A little
three away in the morning. Never hurt nobuddy. How you constipated this up
to? I wonder what it feels like. I mean, did people get
to touch it? She likes it to be as firm as it can be.
Oh god, that's about drinking. Do I have to take a company
drug test? Okay, you can get up off your knees. You're gonna
sure be sticky tonight. Do you ever go to one of those places,
you know, where you see some guy with no shirt on? I have
no idea why it's happening in the bedroom. Brian comes is good at night?
In the morning? Is he hot? Or what I've got my package?
I've got to take a good look at it. Go ahead and lick
my leg. The longer goes on, probably the stiffer both sides. Gap
sat there in my underwear, pet and the cat, and they continue to
pop out of that chaft. And then this lady started reaching around. So
I just said, tell me when you find it. I have considered more
than once changing my sec and Jim said to me, please play the cuts.
I want to enjoy life. Yes, so right now he's listening,
and he's enjoying life the best, the best he can with what he's got.
Eighty years young Jim Scott, good luck and thank you for that you've
done. After two o'clock today we'll be Stephen malloy about the myth of man
made global warming and the seasons which every three months the seasons change. And
after all this bus about the weather, a peers, the temperatures have gone
up one to two degrees in the past one hundred years. I get what,
Who's whose fault was that hurricane that hit the Big Bend down the Big
Ben? Was that the boor? Or probably was that Trump's fault to Trump
the Big Ben? Donald Trump did it all. We live in a time
of great difficulties because we can't get objective, necessary information upon which we can
cast an informed ballance, that's for sure. But Jim Scott has been able
in the radio to engender no one on the downside. Like you're a controversial
character, people laugh and snicker at you all the time. However, Jim
Scott had univo universal respect and love and had no one coming at him on
the negative side. He was int able to get that done. Yes,
thank you very much. Segment. Let's continue with more one fifty two Home

Hit the Music, Dave Hit the Music, and I have to two o'clock
today Stephen malloy. This will not get media attention because it's against the narrative,
but sixteen hundred climate scientists, including two Nobel Prize winners, have finally
come out to say this thing is overblown. Pollution is a problem that's largely
been solved. But let's face it, we don't need to go to windmills,
don't need to go to solar panels. That natural gas, fracking and
oil is here for specific reasons that is to be used, and then it
keeps in middle class lifestyle, in a middle class lifestyle. And then it
used to be at when Trump was in office, ghastly, it was a
dollar ninety a gallon. Now it's up to four dollars a gallon, going
higher, we're told. And of course you can't use nuclear power, which
is the greatest of ever, greatest of all time. So we're gonna f
Stephen malloyon. He's one of those scientists who has signed the accord calling for
an end of the Green New Deal policies of Joe Biden because they don't work.
And secondly, it's not going to provide enough energy for the nation to
do what it needs to do. It needs to stop. The madness must
end. So let's continue Reds Baseball off today, but back out of twice

to navigate slowly, don't cause waves, drink less Sunday to make the Ohio

be one just east of the Robling Bridge on the Kentucky side, and there'll
be two designated anchorages just east of the four seventy one bridge, one on

of alcohol consumption it is worth noting among the rules and restrictions at Riverfest itself,
on the Ohio side of the river, there is no alcohol consumption.
The Department of Health and Human Services has recommended to the DA that marijuana should
be reclassified as a Schedule three drug. The recommendation would significantly ease government restrictions
on marijuana. The Drug Enforcement Administration is now considering the reclassification, but it's
not clear how soon the DA will act. If taken up, marijuana would
be considered a Schedule three controlled substance like taylenol with codeine, instead of a
Schedule one like heroin and LSD. Britney Shephard, ABC News Washington on Wall

Happy It's employees only, courtesy of Ron Howard, the new podcast from Imagine
Audio, Pretty Fast and iHeartMedia. It's employees only. Listen to the iHeartRadio
app or wherever you get your podcasts. I've only cutting in the Great America
and the Hurricane Adalia has gone through now and it's hell somewhere in the PISCIFFI
we have wildfires happening in Greece. Historically unprecedented, is what I hear.
Constraates, we have the wildfires in Maui about three weeks ago, which is
all caused by climate change and not the activities of the utility companies allegedly.
So now you have Nobel Laureate's signing a declaration against Climate Emergency Narrative. Steve
Malloy is a signatory to the declaration, is also a senior E and E
Institute legal fellow and former Trump EPA transition member. To bring this to the
forefront because the media we'll not talk about Nobel Laureates and almost two thousand sigentists
signing a signatory saying yes we have climate change, but yes it happens every
three months, and no, it's not an existential crisis, which Joe Biden
uses for two reasons. One is to seize control of the American economy and
number two to hand out billions of dollars to his friends and family members.
And once again, Steve malloy, welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. And
if you watch some of the coverage of Adalia, the hurricane, and Maui,
you would have thought the world is about to end. And so tell
us what the Nobel laureates and the climate scientists are saying and why it's relevant
to the American people. All right, Bill, well, thanks for having
me. So let's start with that petition signed by sixteen hundred climate scientists,
including me. But of course top billing goes to the twenty twenty two Bill
Prize winner in physics, John Klauser. Now, when people say that,
you know people that people like me are deniers, or people like Klauser deniers.
He's the twenty twenty two Nobel Prize winner in physics. He must know
something. Yeah, let let's just run through these disasters real quick. So
we have right now, we've got Hurricane Idealia, which they called unprecedented.
He cited that, but of course it's not unprecedented. As a matter of
fact, in eighteen ninety six, there was a hurricane that went straight the
same way that Idalia did through the you know, the part of Florida called
you know, the Big Bend. So it's it's not unprecedented, and you
know the me He has been picking on the evak Ramaswami this week for saying
that fewer people were dying from climate disaster as well. Uh in the eighteen
ninety six hurricane, of fifty people tragically died from Idalia, only two despite
you know, there'd been a lot more people. So Viveka is right on
that, and in fact, deaths from natural disasters have come way down over
the past hundred years. We had the Maui wildfire as well. That wasn't
climate change either, that was just bad government. You know, the five
years ago in Maui they had the same event happened, except that you know,
the fire department was able to contain the blaze. This time it wasn't
because well, of course there's there was no water in the fire hydrants.
The people had no warning, the government had no plans. I mean,
this is just a failure of government. You know, government's number one job
is to keep us safe in Maui, they didn't, and instead they're trying
to blame climate change. Uh, you know, we had that hurricane in
in California. Of course they were saying that was unprecedent. Of course,
no, it's not. There had been another hurricane through nineteen thirty nine.
You know, if you look at the word climate, there's the word lie
embedded in it. And you can't talk about They can't talk about climate without
lying. And what the motivation is financial Whenever in doubt, follow the money.
And so when you have the Inflationary Reduction Acts, the so called IRA,
which wasn't about inflation, it's about climate change. They're handing out literally
billions of dollars for studies and departments. They're giving money to the companies to
utilities to shut down utilities. And one thing I've noted about today's climate is
not historically warm. Every time the temperature is getting the nineties, it's all
man made climate change that we can somehow change, but just historically. Talk
about whether or not today's climate is historically warm or not compared to going back
a thousand years, Well, right, so if you go back a thousand
years, a period called medieval optim it's you know, we don't know for
sure, but it's thought to have been as warm, if not warmer than
today. You know, we have the satellite record which goes back to nineteen
seventy nine, and yeah, July twenty twenty three was amous anomalously warmer than
any other months. But August is going to be, you know, cooler.
You know, we think this was caused by a Antarctic heat wave,
which affected you know, the average global temperature calculation. Before the satellite era,
we would never have known that these Antarctic heatwaves were happening. So,
you know, it has been warmer before. You know, everything that has
happened this summer cannot be shown to be unprecedented. In fact, that's the
term used. The Big Bend section of Florida used to have a lot fewer
people in it than it does today. And when Florida had hurricanes in the
nineteen thirties, they were ten percent of the population. Today right now there's
close there's thirty million Americans living in Florida. Anytime a hurricane hits Florida,
it's going to hit a bunch of people and the big bend I think I
think one or two people died, But but there's nothing unprecedented or unusual about
that. And as far as the temperature, it's like one or two degrees
in the past one hundred years. To tell the American people, we're told
it's the hottest July every history of the world going back one hundred thousand years,
but this is the hottest July. Ever, how much of a joke
is that? Well, I'm gonna explain it this way. So we are
told that every emission warms the planet. Okay, Well, since two thousand
and fifteen, the last time there was Melnino, we've had five hundred billion
tons of emissions and we have had no global warming since two thousand and fifteen.
So how can that possibly be if every emission warms the planet. Well,
of course, it means that emissions don't warm the planet. You know,
since since the nineteen h since nineteen eighty it has we think average global
temperature has warmed a bit, and it only warms when we have these elninos.
Elnino bumps up the temperature and it stays. There's kind of like a
step function if you think about it. So you know, we're in an
Elnino year right now. Don't be surprised if the temperature increases a little bit.
But it's all Nino. It's not emissions, right And in fact,
according to the study I'm looking at, renewables are very cast around the world,
about three percent right now are energy comes from windmills and from solar panels.
And the states with a lot of renewables have higher expenses for utilities then
states with natural gas and coal. And then secondly, the environmentalists are killing
the environment off the coast because of what's happening to the whales and the dolphin.
The environmentalists are costing us lots of lives. Please explain. Yeah,
so we've been lied to now for decades that wind and solar are cheaper,
are going to be cheaper someday, won't be cheaper. They're not cheaper.
They're not cheaper anywhere in the world. There is no place where wind and
solar has reduced electricity prices. And the places where they use the most wind
and solar, like California, Germany, these people have the highest electricity prices
right now. The Biden administration has green lighted all these offshore wind farms on
the East coast. You know, fifty years ago the mental cry was saved
the whales. Well, now we're killing the whales. The Biden administration has
permitted these four and offshore companies to kill you know, dozens of whales,
thousands of seals, thousands of porpoises and dolphins. And you know, like
the Biden administration is helping to destroy the main lobster industry because of something called
the North Atlantic right whale. Well, the Biden Administration's only like three hundreds
of these things in the wild. They think the Biden administration has permitted the
offshore wind industry to kill not all the right whales, twice as many right
whales are as are thought to exist. I mean, the whole thing is
Orwellian. Why. I mean, I think environmentalists ought to be saving mammals,
especially those endangered. And one of the shocking things here, Steve malloy,
is that there's not media attention to the fact that the environmentalists are killing
the environment. They're killing whales and whether a CBS, NBC, ABC,
in the New York Times, Washington Post, there's no reporting on this,
is there. Well, we're giving that media attention right now. Yeah,
don't look at the mainstream media is in cahoots with uh, you know,
the government, the federal government and all state governments and all the institutions and
all the you know, the rent seekers that are trying to do wind and
solar. It's this giant political economic conspiracy against the rest of us, and
we've got to push back. You know, I don't know. If you
saw the Republican debate last week, you know vvak Ramaswamy wants to push back
ron Santas pushed back everybody else. I don't know, I don't know.
In fact, Lamaswamy said it was a hoax. As far as a green
breakdown. Talk about the future. We have about about four thousand power plants,
and these things are starting to break down. You cannot build nuclear,
you can't build coal, can't build nuclear gas. Is there a coming green
breakdown? Well, of course, you know, the backbone of our national
electricity grid is our coal plants, gas plants and nuclear plants. And the
Biden administration wants to get rid of all our gas and nuclear plants. Our
gas and coal plants in the twenty thirties, we're not building any nuclear plants.
They want us to run on wind and solar, which is impossible.
It's not done anywhere in the world. Meanwhile, in China, you know,
China is building an amount of coal power equal to the whole United States
right now. You know, we are we are unilaterally disarming ourselves, destroying
our grid. And at the same time as we're destroying our grid, we're
burdening it with more demand. You know all these evs. Charging an EV
at home is like running an air conditioner. So you know, if the
Biden fantasies that we're all driving to evs, well we're going to need a
hell of a grid to do that. And they're destroying the grid. And
so what happens when the middle class Americans joined these scientists and say enough is
enough. Natural gas and coal and oil are great products. They're part of
God's design. They're in the earth to be used by humankind in a good
way without solution. At some point, do we reach critical mass and say
enough is enough? Well, you know, we all have a chance to
do that in November twenty twenty four, and it may very well be our
last chance, or one of our last chances. Voters have to take matters
in their own hands and get rid of these people who want to go along
with this climate hoax and the resolution. So many Americans number one say the
costs are too high. That means every product brought to a store, department
store has a gasoline oil cost fixed into that. And then the utility prices
are too high. The gasoline is too high, and inflation is everywhere,
and interest rates or skyrocketing because of the Green New Deal, etc. That's
passed by the Congress, and I wish Steve malloy, I guess as Americans,
I know there's a better way. I'm against pollution, but this is
not being against pollution. This is in favor of environmental extremism. Look,
we're talking about emissions of plant food. It's invisible, it's odorless, and
it's plant food, and it has no effect on the climate. Look,
whenever you hear a you know, the mainstream media or a climate you know,
so called climate scientist or other activist alarmers talk about the climate, they're
lying. Okay, nothing they have ever predicted as true, nothing they claim
is true. You know, they have this whole political agenda which is to
control our lives. They want to manage, manage us to deaths. Basically,
you know, the global population is eight billion. They want it down
to two billion, and they're going to do it by restricting our energy supplies,
restricting our food supplies, just making our lives poorer and you know,
harder to live. It's amazing. The vak Rama Swami said it's a hoax.
That's where andre and Mitchell and others in the mainstream media want after him
hard because they do not want to debate. They want to tell you what
to think. And I think average Americans have got to start figuring this thing
out. All the oil and natural gas comes from plants and from animals over
the billions of years that we've been around, and they went into into the
sediment and we're simply using what God put here to use. And there's nothing
wrong with decaying plants or decaying animal carcasses. That is the heart and soul
of oil. And that's why there's so much in the Middle East because it
was the bottom of an ocean. That's where the sand was at one point
to Sahara Desert. And also the Arabian Peninsula was at the bottom of an
ocean for one hundreds of millions a year, so all those plants and animals
died, they went to the bottom of the ocean. The oceans went away,
and now there's lots of oil in the Middle East, and so there's
nothing wrong with that. Yeah, So fossil fuels were the original you know,
solar energy, right, this has been stored under ground. Fantastic.
Look, we burn fossil fuels cleanly. There's nobody that's harmed by fossil fuels
or anything any emissions at all, you know, even in China where they
don't even have missions controls. Is No one's health is harm no one's life
shortened by fossil fuel emissions. Fossil fuels are you know, God's gift to
us. They're a miracle. They're why we have gone from about less than
a billion people one hundred and fifty years ago to more than eight billion today
and we can grow all the food we need. People are living longer,
healthier, wealthier, freer lives than ever before, all because of fossil fuels.
And of course what do the Greens want to do get rid of that?
And why because they're communists. Well you said the word, and these
are a leftist they're Marxist number one. They want to reward their friends.
Look at Joe Biden, Hunter Biden with the bags of cash, and number
two, they want control. They want to tell how many ounces of waters
in your toilet? What kind of light bulbs you can burn? And I'm
thinking, come, no, that's right. And they learned through COVID that
we can be cowed into submission. Yeah, no question. Yeah, So
we look, we've got this big chance in November twenty twenty four. Whoever
you vote for, you, if you vote for Joe Biden and the Democrats,
you just get to get more of this and pretty soon you won't have
any choice at all. All right, Steve molloy, how did the American
people? What website can I con direct them to? Okay, so my
website is junk science dot com. But I spent an awful lot of time
on Twitter at junk science junk science dot com. That's good stuff. And
the truth will set us free. Reality matters, Facts exist, and not
political diet tribes of leftists who want to seize control of the economy and pay
off their friends. Steve Molloy, once again, thank you for coming on
the Bill Cunningham Show with your permission. Will do it again. Thank you,
Steve, Thanks for having me. Bill by bye. All right,
let's continue three things. Average Americans they want low gasoline prices, they want
low interest rates, and they want plentiful jobs and then want a clean environment.
This isn't about pollution. This is about the leftist seizing control of your
life and governing. And ultimately, within twenty years there's going to be smart
thermostats and the government will control what the temperature is inside your house. Bill
Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred. That's amazing. The ancient Egyptians were advanced

time to call McKinley Mortgage to get a lower rate and save hundreds of dollars
every month. Customers are paying off all their credit card debt and car loans,
saving seven hundred to two thousand dollars per month off total debt. Do
not assume you can't save money by refinancing and consolidating all your debt because your
first or first mortgage is at three or four percent. Customers are refinancing and
paying off all high interest card, credit card debt, and other loans and
saving all money in the long runoff total debt. My family and I have
personally used mckindley Mortgage for many years with great help and veterans. You can

making public that he has Luke Garrig's disease, Well, Jim Scott is the
is the legend of radio here in Cincinnati. I don't care what you say.
There's been some great people at this radio station, Willie and some others
Jerry Thomas, JFPO, others on the up and down the dial. But
Jim Scott, I mean, if there, if there was an event in
town, Jim Scott was there and he has probably raised I would guess trillions
of dollars for various charities around around the area, some that he was involved
with, probably some of he wasn't even And then what about ringing the bell
at the Salvation Army. Red Kettle did that with him many times, but
he put a bunch of time in to help others. Corrects fortunate, that's
correct. It's time for him to make a few withdrawals from the depositsies made
amen, because I mean, if Jim Scott was on an event, it
was packed, and I mean and raising money like crazy. So God bless
him. All the best to Jim Scott, the legend himself. Go to

The Bengals obviously play the Pittsburgh Steelers twice every season, but it's rare
that the two meetings are actually within a month of each other. But for
the first time since twenty fourteen, that'll be the case this season. The
Bengals will host the Steelers in Week twelve, then play them again in Pittsburgh
twenty seven days later in Week sixteen. That second game could be huge.
The Steelers finished last season with six wins in seven games, and with a
coach who's never had a losing record in Pittsburgh, the Steelers are expected to
challenge for a playoff spot. The Bengals split with the Steelers last season,
and they'll be looking for a third straight win in Pittsburgh, something the franchise
hasn't accomplished in over thirty years. It'll be the Bengals and Steelers in Pittsburgh

Cunningham, The Great American two twenty three, twenty twenty three. Lunken Airport
Days Underway Saturday and Sunday war Board Rides September one through the fourth, happening
as we speak, featuring a B twenty nine unbelievable stuff. Of course,
Jim Stitt is the commander, he's the general of the event and Jim Stitt,
welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. Can you tell the American people what's
happening? I guess starting tomorrow LUNCN Airport, the Luncn Airport Days. Give
us a full report. All right, thanks willing for the opportunity. Yes,
we've got a fantastic family friendly event going on at Luncoln all weekend long,
Friday, Saturday, Sunday Monday. We are featuring the host, the
B twenty nine doc, one of only two flying B twenty nine's left in
the world, and that's very iconic aircraft, as I'm sure you know.
We'll also they'll be offering rides as well as ground tours. We'll have some
other warbirds here at T six and BT thirteen doing rides as well. We'll
have military vehicles, classic cars, food trucks, all sorts of great great
features here, a lot of other static planes on display as well. So
there's no admission to get onto the ramp and no no parking charge. Great
family friendly event all weekend long and as if that wasn't enough. Sunday afternoon,
we were providing flyovers for the Riverfest audience that's waiting to see the fireworks.
Yeah, I see this because in the afternoon there there'll be five hundred
thousand people there at night, but in the afternoon there's a few hundred thousand
people, and you're going to have the war Birds in Exchange and Lunkan Airports.
You can get on. Are these average Americans can simply get on to
B twenty nine and fly over Riverfest? Is that what you're saying? Well,
yes, they could get on the B twenty nine average Americans absolutely,
So come on out. You can prebook it going to our website since ninety
warbirds dot org, or come out here on site and book a ride out
here. All right, what are they? What are the rides cost?
If anything? Well, the rides do cost something and cost several thousand dollars
an hour to operate the aircraft, and the revenue made from that is what
enables to keep these flying museums operating for future generations to enjoy. So the
B twenty nine rides start in the six hundred dollars range. They're not inexpensive.
But we do have other warbird rides here for much less than that,
and that goes for the maintenance of the aircraft. There were tens of thousands
of B twenty nine. They were their workhorse in World War Two. Eighty
years later, only two are flying and the one's going to be at Luncan
Airport and all the infos at Cincinnati Warbirds dot org Cincinnati Warbirds dot org.
