00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.480
All right, welcome this Tuesday afternoon
in the tri State back loud Proud and

2
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.799
Sassey the Great American coming up in
a minute or two. Here is going

3
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:10.800
to be Brian Hamrick down to City
Hall prowling around the hallways. There's a

4
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:14.800
big committee hearing going on with maybe
a vote tomorrow. Also later on is

5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:18.359
Rob Sanders, the man who controls
Kenton County with an iron grip. You

6
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.800
may know that Governor Basheer is being
inaugurated and he gave everyone a day off

7
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.239
no work. So if you live
in northern Kentucky, just say boss,

8
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.559
I'm taking off. I'm celebrating Andy
Basheer and Tony Bender's walking out of the

9
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:35.439
studio as I speak. But until
then, Brian Hamrick, welcome again to

10
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.119
the Bill Cunningham Show. You man, have to keep your voice down a

11
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:42.240
little bit, but tell me what's
happening in the committee hearing about guns,

12
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:47.320
guns and more guns. Thanks again, mister Gunningham. Yeah, well,

13
00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.159
we're down here at City Hall just
trying to, you know, kind of

14
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:54.079
get a grip on what's going on
with you know, really where this whole

15
00:00:54.119 --> 00:01:00.520
thing starts right now and what we're
seeing a lot of these car break ins

16
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:06.680
seems like a kind of a crime
that doesn't really mean anything. It didn't

17
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.840
used to car break in people looking
for cash or change or whatever. But

18
00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.959
what's happened recently and talking to the
last year or so, it's really started

19
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:19.480
to develop and really picking up our
car break ins. And they're looking for

20
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:25.719
guns and they're trying to and what
happens is then they send these guns,

21
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.040
sell these guns, or use them, and they are finding these same guns

22
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:34.040
that are being stolen from cars from
you know, regular citizens are now being

23
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.879
used in murders and hold ups and
robberies and aggravated assaults everything. So that's

24
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.519
what's happening. And just this,
I mean, this is how bad it's

25
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.760
getting. Just in the last couple
of days over the weekend over at Covington,

26
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.799
they had around twenty. They're not
even sure they're still putting together the

27
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.480
numbers on it because they had so
many. They're still trying to figure out

28
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.680
how many breaking into cars, finding
guns, finding whatever they can. But

29
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:01.480
they're really looking for these guns.
And then just out literally within sight of

30
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:07.640
city Hall over the weekend during the
Bengals game, one witness told us that

31
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:15.039
there were they were there during the
Bengals game. They said between fifteen five

32
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:23.560
to fifteen were broken out right near
the all. It's the Cincinnati Fire Museum,

33
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.280
those parking lots and the ones near
City Hall over there, and you

34
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.879
can go over there. I was
over there yesterday and there were like one

35
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:35.680
window after another after another, the
glass still laying in the parking lot there.

36
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.159
You can see where it had happened. Yeah, I tell you what

37
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:43.360
happens on these scout cars. I
used to represent a group of burglars and

38
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.280
breaking artists. They'll get a pair
of binoculars, set up a site,

39
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.960
and then what they'll do is watch
people as the eggsit the cars. And

40
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.800
if you're going to a Bengals game, that means you're gone at least three

41
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.599
to five hours. And so you
know, if you listen to the radio,

42
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.599
as everyone does, especially AM radio, you kind of know that the

43
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:05.159
game is ongoing and this person is
not coming back. And don't they have

44
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:08.159
like a model of a kind of
car that a person would drive that will

45
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:14.000
more likely have valuables in them than
somebody else. Well, we're hearing from

46
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.520
you know, police on the street
who are telling us they are profiling these

47
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:23.360
vehicles they're looking at things that uh
people. So one thing they're looking for,

48
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:30.120
like pickups for runners, These tend
to be people that are more likely

49
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.360
to be gun owners. Uh,
so they're going to look at those cars.

50
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:37.080
They're also looking at anything you might
have on the car. Let's say

51
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:42.159
you have a sticker I support police, You're more likely a gun owner any

52
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.039
of these kind of things. If
you have, you know, like Second

53
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.639
Amendment stickers on your car, you're
more likely to be a gun owner.

54
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.680
They will look for that, and
you will be a target when you're in

55
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.080
these in these parking lots. Uh, and it happens. Will I just

56
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.280
talked to a guy he was at
church over here at Saint Peter Chains and

57
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:04.319
as same thing he saw the King
comes back, windows broken out. And

58
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:10.919
sometimes you know it's just random.
Sometimes they don't you know, they don't

59
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.039
care. They're just looking and they
think maybe it's a good choice and they

60
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.360
bust the windows out. But you
know, even if they don't get anything,

61
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.800
even you don't have anything, you
know, here are all these folks

62
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:21.639
that are you know, I talked
to the guy who were at Jack's Glass

63
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:27.720
over in Covington right there, you
know, right across the bridge there.

64
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.839
It's just along my fourth street.
He says, I have so many of

65
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.480
these, I can't even take care
of my They are coming in so fast

66
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:39.439
that it's hard to get the glass
to put into the cars immediately to get

67
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:42.160
them rolling out. He says,
it takes it there or two sometimes to

68
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.120
get these things fast through because there
are so many of these right now.

69
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.879
He said, he comes in on
Monday morning and he can expect to have

70
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:54.000
a dozen to maybe fifteen cars with
broken windows people. And this is like

71
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:59.199
on a regular basis. He told
me he had nine hundred this year so

72
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.680
far. Nine hundred. Yeah,
people that had been victims of people breaking

73
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.199
into their the thing. Now he
gets them from Cincinnati and from Covington and

74
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:11.000
from all around. But that's a
lot. You know, there's you know,

75
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.720
it's happening out in Boone County.
It was Kenton County. I mean,

76
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.279
we've had reports down in uh uh, down in Independence here in the

77
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:23.319
last couple of days. Uh So, these are happening all over. There's

78
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.920
really no place that it isn't happening. Right. Well, let's let's talk

79
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.879
about what council wants to do.
So tell the American people this afternoon,

80
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.439
the committee meetings meeting then tomorrow Wednesday
tends to be city council itself, and

81
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:39.079
the law is passed. So well, how do they want to victimize the

82
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.879
victims of crime at city council.
Well, here's here's the plan. What

83
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:46.680
they're hoping to do is they're they're
trying to figure out something to do.

84
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.160
They're limited on what they can do
because you know the Second Amendment, you

85
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:55.120
can't just make a gun law in
the City of Cincinnati, and then you

86
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.399
know it's going to be challenged no
matter what. But what they're doing is

87
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.480
is they are if you leave a
gun and what they're calling irresponsibly, And

88
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:06.399
they gave a couple of examples,
like so one person left their gun on

89
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.439
top of a car and drove off
and it fell off. Another guy got

90
00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:15.000
off his pocket in a restaurant.
So they were using those examples as if

91
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:21.519
you're careless with the gun and this
sort of thing is they're calling irresponsible.

92
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:27.279
So what they're saying is they're saying
they're gonna make it. First of all,

93
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:33.199
you have to report your gun lost
or stolen, and and and if

94
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.439
you don't, that can be a
fine, it can be a misdemeanor and

95
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:42.319
a finement seven hundred and fifty dollars
if you don't report it lost or stolen

96
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.600
immediately, like in the immediate Apple
ord. Now there's a couple of problems

97
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:49.959
there. They didn't really define what
immedia is, you know, and then

98
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.160
they also said at the same time, they said, well, the other

99
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:59.160
part of this program is this in
order to get the gun return to you,

100
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.480
because the police have to do ballistics, they have to you know,

101
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.079
keep it in your property room,
they have to handle it. So what

102
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:10.639
they entered into their computer system that
takes personal They said they figure it to

103
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:15.079
be about two hundred bucks a person
per gun to do that. So they're

104
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.920
going to charge you the two hundred
dollars to get the gun back. Now,

105
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.120
they said, we're not going to
do that if you've been a victim

106
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:25.720
of a crime. But if somebody
breaks into your car. This is about

107
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.160
breaking into cars. So we haven't
really heard what that definition is. So

108
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.720
I'm sure this is going to be
challenged. I'm sure going to be people

109
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.199
to say, wait a minute,
you know I got my gun stolen.

110
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:40.360
I'm a victim. I'm a victim. I'm not surprised, Yes, right,

111
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.240
and so at this point that well, we're going to have there's about

112
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.600
ninety governmental institutions within the sound of
my voice, ninety of them. And

113
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:53.519
the Supreme Court is kind of ruled
the local municipalities, counties, and states

114
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:57.959
cannot infringe upon the right to keeping
bare arms, which means the involvement of

115
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.959
government must be slight at best.
And so is this too intrusive? Is

116
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.680
this to say to those who drive
from Boone County, get on the bridge,

117
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.319
come across four or five different jurisdictions, get off the bridge, spend

118
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.120
some time on I seventy one.
Coming north, you go through Cincinnati,

119
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.439
go through Norwood, you go through
Columbia Township, go through Sycamore Township.

120
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:22.319
And the idea is you can't have
different gun laws as someone travels. And

121
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.120
so constitutionally, I would imagine the
Solicitener's office is saying, this is somewhat

122
00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:31.200
suspect because you have an undue burden. Now is the burden undo? I

123
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:35.919
don't know what the hell that means
in each circumstance. And so what they

124
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.399
want to do is make it undue
burden, make it light enough not to

125
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.279
arise to a constitutional violation, but
strong enough to keep people from not breaking

126
00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:46.679
into cars because they're going to do
it anyway. But those who carry weapons

127
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:50.639
or have their wallet left in the
car, those are the people. Those

128
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:54.159
are the victims of this thing.
And so the real problem is not a

129
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.519
legal gun owner not properly strowing a
gun, which I think ninety nine percent

130
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:01.879
of us do anyway, it's the
occasional person that a gun is taken from

131
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:07.480
who commits a crime. And then
the person responsible is the perpetrator, is

132
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.200
not the victim of a car breaking
or a homebreak in, which could happen

133
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.559
to anyone. And I can't think
of any you've been around a long time,

134
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.960
has any other jurisdiction never tried to
pass a law like this one to

135
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.399
your knowledge, not that I know
of. But I have a feeling this

136
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.159
is based on some other ones in
other places where maybe they've done this,

137
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:30.519
because I have a feeling that usually
when they by the time it gets here

138
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.279
and it's an issue, they've already
done somebody else that's had the problem,

139
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.360
and they look at, you know, what can we do? You know,

140
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.559
I think a lot of it is
just a matter of, look,

141
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.600
we don't know what else to do, because you know, if you look

142
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.639
at the wall, and I mean
basically they're talking about targeting these guns,

143
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:52.759
these break ins to cars. It
doesn't really relate all that well, you

144
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.159
know, I mean it could be, but the things that would relate might

145
00:09:56.200 --> 00:10:01.879
not be something that they can get
through these They might this, this might

146
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:05.720
be more likely to hold up to
a challenge than one of, you know,

147
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:07.840
one of the other things. That
would retain more to what exactly they

148
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.559
want to do, if nothing else. I think they like to get they

149
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.240
like to get the idea, and
you know, we're doing stories on it,

150
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.399
and everybody else is is you know, just make sure you don't leave

151
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.039
your gun in the car, because
I know from the police perspective, there's

152
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:28.559
like we we have seen eternities and
we're seeing them being used in crimes,

153
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.759
and they've gotten a bunch of them
back. Well, I mean, the

154
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:35.279
sheriff had her gunstolen and then used
in a crime, you know. So

155
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.320
it happens, and it happens to
people you know of you know. So

156
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:43.720
I think what the police their main
thing is, let's try and at least

157
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.600
get the message out there that you
can't And I've talked to the police,

158
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:52.320
and I talked to the guys in
Covington. Uh uh and uh. Lieutenant

159
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.320
Bradbury over there told me, he
says, hey, your car is not

160
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:58.759
a gun safe, you know.
I mean, like, let's you know,

161
00:10:58.000 --> 00:11:01.159
just secure the web weapons. And
so these guys are pro gun.

162
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.240
They're just like, we got to
try and get together on this and try

163
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.559
and get these guns out of the
hands of the criminals. And Brian Hamrick

164
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.679
of the power of five. If
you're in an EV or a mom's car,

165
00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:16.320
you're less likely to be hit by
a car breaking if you're in a

166
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.440
pickup truck like Tony Bender. He's
got mudflaps, he's got chrome all over

167
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.039
his pickup truck. I'm looking at
him saying, that guy's got six or

168
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.679
seven guns. He's going out to
see a Bengals game. He's not going

169
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.440
to be here for three to four
hours. He has a bumper star that

170
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:35.480
says I support the Second Amendment.
He said, I shoot, I shoot,

171
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:39.080
I shoot, and it says you're
gonna have my gun when you pull

172
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.559
my dead cold fingers off the trigger. That's a Tony Bender sign right there.

173
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.679
That's the guy. That's the guy
right there. We got that guy

174
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.320
right there. We can sell that
gun for five hundred bucks, get four

175
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.759
or five of them. He's got
Oozy's, he's got three fifty sevens,

176
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.480
he's got nine millimeters. He's got
them all in his pickup. And I'm

177
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.600
thinking, but if you're in a
mom's car or an EV, you're probably

178
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:05.000
in good shape. Right, Yeah, that's true. You may you may

179
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.559
not. Although one of the cars
that was being worked on yesterday was just

180
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:16.840
a SUV Mercedes. It was a
Mercedes SUV new car. I wouldn't have

181
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.080
necessarily thought that would be a target. But something's in there. They broke

182
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.159
into it. Something's in there pretty
good. And so the car alarms aren't

183
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.919
the car alarms suppers to go off
and go nuts. Maybe not, yeah,

184
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.840
but I think yeah, I think
they do. But people's response to

185
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.840
that is thirty seven to be lackluster
at best. Yeah, because when you

186
00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:41.320
hear that, you don't think,
boy, we got a car breaking.

187
00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:45.519
Turn that damn thing off and the
other thing. It takes thirty seconds trying

188
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.360
to watch TV. Here, I'm
trying to turn that down TV car alarm.

189
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:52.279
Yeah, everywhere you go. And
Louis Vauton I talked to Joe Dieters

190
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:56.639
and frequently because he's up there in
the Heights of Glory. But Missy Powers

191
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.360
tells me they still haven't located the
the smash and grabbers at Louis Vauton and

192
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:07.159
the Kenwood Town Center. And this
is happening all over the place, and

193
00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:11.440
it seems the only way to handle
this is sure and swift punishment and breaking

194
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:13.960
into a cars of pain in the
ass for the driver of pain in the

195
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:18.159
ass. Oh yeah, it's it's
it's a huge issue. You know,

196
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.799
you got well, first of all, you got to clean up the second

197
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:24.039
ball, you got the whole hassle
of you know, now taking this down

198
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.759
and trying to get the guys at
Jack's Glass to get it. You know,

199
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:28.679
that's the thing done. Line up, you know, because everybody else

200
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:31.840
is doing this. And then uh, and then the cost, you know,

201
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.879
it's it's not cheap. You know, it's several hundred dollars. I

202
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:39.240
mean, your insurance company may may
pay for that, but you know then

203
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:41.480
you know you've got to mark against
you on your insurance. You know,

204
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:45.639
it's a it's a headache, you
know, just the logistics of getting it

205
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.639
done. We'll see what happens later
today. The committee votes sometime later this

206
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:54.720
afternoon, then tomorrow's two wednesdays,
the actual vote itself, and we'll see

207
00:13:54.720 --> 00:13:58.840
what happens. I love it when
foreign policies are put forth by Cincinnati City

208
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:01.679
Council. And now the we're going
to infringe upon Second Amendment freedoms. I

209
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:07.759
guess we're still a sanctuary city,
but nonetheless we should have a foreign policy.

210
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.639
And once again, Brian Hamrick,
the great American says to you,

211
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:15.240
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year,
and thank you for coming on the Bill

212
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.240
Cunningham Show. Thank you, Brian. Thanks again, mister Cunningham. All

213
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.879
right back into council. Let's see
what they do if a line becomes available

214
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:26.080
five one, three, seven,
four nine, seven thousand or pound seven

215
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.360
hundred and new at and T.
I guess the solution is to drive an

216
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:33.159
EV or a mom's car, in
which case you're less likely to get broken

217
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.039
into. If you're a pickup truck
with chrome wheels and mudflaps, and you

218
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.879
can have my gun when you're probably
my cold dead fingers off the trigger like

219
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:45.360
Tony Bender has, then that's a
problem. You better be armed. Let's
