They were changing marijuana laws in Kentucky, and also a suburbanites reflection on what's
happening in downtown Cincinnati. But joining you and I now is the great Missy
Powers, the Hamley County Prosecutor and Melissa Powers. Welcome again to the Bill
Cunningham Show. And let's kind of begin with going back in time a little
bit, because you have been in law enforcement for twenty five to thirty years
and I think spent about twelve years in juvenile court. And when you were
a judge in juvenile court, you saw it all, you did it all.
You understand this isn't about stealing potato chips from Walmart. This is serious
stuff going on. And what have you seen changing in juvenile court since you
and Judge John Williams were there. And there were several state national awards given,
there were programs and diversion programs. John Williams was recognized by the Bar
Association as the most competent judge in Hamilton County and he was kicked out in
twenty twenty because I guess there was a revolution going on with George Floyd and
all that. But kind of addressed the issue about juvenile court ten to fifteen
years ago. What was happening then as opposed to what's happening now. Well,
first let me correct you. I've got thirty two years now, experienced
three decades and in the courtroom and criminal justice. The amount of time I
spent in Juneile Court as a judge was six years before I retired and then
took this position as prosecutor. So I have a wide range of experiences and
a depth of knowledge through with that three decades. You have to have great
compassion, but you also have to have being able to have great strength.
It's not easy to say you're going to lock the child up and remove them
from their family and their loved ones. That's a very difficult thing to do.
But you have to be able to do that in the appropriate cases.
We never in juvenile court. When I worked with Judge Williams and many great
people such as Carla Gunn who was the court administrator forever, they're you know,
for a very long period of time. We instituted many, many programs
to be able to help children, help families, and while I was there
as the administrative judge the last two years, opened an assessment center that's now
being used I'm not sure which direction it's going in, but the purpose of
that was and when you have a child in crisis, when they're coming into
juvenile court, no matter how small or inconsequential the case may be, such
as say truancy, chronic truancy, we know there's a behavioral problem going on
and there's an issue, and we wanted to be able to provide services immediately
to the children and make families also have access to their services. There was
a residential treatment program that we used. You know, in juvenile court,
you're the focus was always rehabilitation balanced with public safety. So you use rehabilitation
efforts and graduated sanctions for children that come into the courtroom or through our doors,
and to treat everybody equally and fairly. That to be able to develop
effective programs where we had success rates, and we had a number of those
programs to redirect children so that they could have a productive life, to graduate
from high school, to make sure they were out of the criminal justice system,
no matter what background that came from, and we had some great success
stories. I'm very proud of our record. The court now is that it
has the views that are coming from the East Coast from the Ivy League from
New York where they believe anybody walking just walking through the door of juvenile court
is so damaging, so it causes so much trauma to the child that they
shouldn't even come through the doors, that if they come through the doors,
they'll ever say in that court system. So we're seeing cases being dismissed and
categories now of statute that are not being enforced. Just like what you see
in some of these major cities of with prosecutors not prosecuting crime. We now
have a judge excuse, we now have a judge that is not prosecuting entire
categories of crime, unruly, truancy. These are the first steps that when
somebody comes into juvenile court, you can get services immediately before they start escalating
and staying in the system with this court, I think, and if anybody
I know, there's community members out there that is trying to you know,
what is the solution. But the solution really needs to start with there's so
much trauma, earlihood, childhood, trauma that is causing multiple adverse you know,
experiences in their life that puts them on a course that enters into the
criminal justice system. And if you're not addressing that, you're not fixing the
problem. And we have many people that are focused on fixing the problem,
focusing on public safety, and that's the direction of the court. It has
completely lost its way, in my opinion, there is no emphasis on protecting
victims or protecting the community, protecting our small businesses in downtown Cincinnati. There's
also, in my opinion, of failure of transparency, and they hide behind
the cloak we're dealing with children. We want to keep all that information private,
but there is information, you know that we have problems with records upon
a dismissal or not guilty finding. They don't do it's not guilty and its
inn of court. They don't use that language. But the records immediately sealed,
immediately sealed, and no one has access to that information. There's policies
that are being set unilaterally, not without any input. They'll they'll talk to
us and tell us, but we have no input whatsoever, such as this
recent policy on assault charges not being it will not be prosecuted, will be
dismissed. Excuse me, And in fact you're notified prosecutor's office not even notified.
Kind of the big term today is restorative justice and social justice, and
that is that. I listened to one of the community activists and a government
square yesterday and one of the TV news shows who talked about the kids themselves
are not responsible, that they are victims of a society, and you don't
hold children responsible for their criminal misbehavior. They're being manipulated by the system.
And I listen to that, I'm going, what are you talking about that
a sixteen seventeen year old they're not responsible. It doesn't make sense. No,
it does not make sense. And then again they think they're helping these
kids, So what they're doing is they're keeping them still. They go right
back to the community, the most vulnerable communities, high risk communities, and
then they're left on their own, so there's no court intervention with services,
there's no trying to read you these children. They think, you know this
restorative justice, you get the parties together. They think that if you take
them, they walk. Like I said, it is so it's so traumatic,
so damaging to the child walking through the doors of the courthouse that they
shouldn't even be going into the courthouse, that alone being entertained. I mean,
that's basically what it is. And on these assault cases, which makes
no sense to me whatsoever. They're considering this a minor offense, so these
can be offenses of violence. And when they say, you know, I've
read in the paper while we're doing it, because the prosecutors aren't doing their
job, I mean our office, we do everything possible to prosecute every case
to the fullish extent. When we need to have compassion and to work with
a child, we do. If it's a school fight sometimes you know those
things. Matters can be resolved with disorderly conducts, you know, where it's
not anything significant, but you want to be able to take each case and
review it before you just throw the cases out. Now, if a charge
is brought down to juvenile court, it goes to the clerk's office, and
then the clerk puts gives it to a social worker and the charge is dismissed.
We don't even see it. The prosecutor's office doesn't even see it.
The victim isn't notified. And when we say, you know, they said
you can object it, it won't matter. A victim can object, it
won't matter. We are dismissing these charges. That's the policy. We've answered
the policy in writing, we haven't received it. I doubt we'll ever get
anything in writing about their policy. So what happened in the there's been too
recent and there's been many more that have been caught on video, some of
which have been on TV. Last night I watched another woman who had our
son had the crap kicked out him in Washington Park and terrible circumstance. But
on Sixth Street, two of the kids had assault charges were simply summarily dismissed,
and restorative justice essentially means let's get the victim together with the perpetrator,
let's talk and see what we can do to resolve the problem. But there's
not prosecution. What happened on Sixth Street? Was it terrible incident? And
if you had been still a juvenile court judge, you would have treated it
differently. And is it true that two of those charges assault were simply they
were released on bond and the charges were dismissed. But you're not even sure
about that, are you? Am? I understanding the first two that got
arrested for the first incident, and one was an adult, so that's going
through the adult system, and right now, it's my understanding, it's in
the grand jury at some point will be presented the juvenile and I don't know
what the charges are yet because I haven't seen him yet. But he was
released on an ankle bracelet, I believe, So that's all I know about
that. Now that'll go through the system. Now whether or not that charges
dismissed. I would think that because of the public outcry, that that's not
going to happen in this case. But I don't know. I don't know
what's going to happen when these cases are being dismissed. We don't even know
they were filed, so we can't track it. We can't we don't have
a list, we can't contact a victim. There's nothing we can do.
They claim this is the purpose behind it is to teach the children conflict resolution.
Well, how do they get taught anything when the charge is being dismissed?
How do they learn anything when there's no accountability? How do you how
do you intervene on a serious case that needs intervention, It needs so that
we don't see these of revolving door and so that we can get services to
a child that needs it that might be in crisis. How do we even
give any kind of assessment on that when it's just automatically dismissed. So it's
flawed. They're failing our children, they're failing the most vulnerable communities, and
they're and they're failing the general public. I mean you could say, I
can I know the mayor and a lot of people are saying downtown safe that
I bet you see, you know, and and maybe people do feel that
that. I think after seeing that, especially that second video of that violent
attack on a juvenile, do would think they're safe? I mean, you
can understand people that may don't frequent down there, that that might be a
place you might not want to go. And then how does that affect all
of our businesses, you know, that have been made an investment in our
city. And then you can just see how this despiraling of a demise of
any thriving city. People move out, people will leave, and then you've
got then if businesses move out and leave, then you've got the people that
are living down there, they'll move out and leave. I mean, so
this is just a disaster and in so many ways. But what also really
gets me upset is they claim they're helping the child when they're failing the child,
and it's so apparent, and and and they're failing the very communities that
need to help, And I just don't know. I'm glad that the public
is starting to see this. The prosecutor's office, we've been citing it every
single day in the courtroom over dismissals. There are cases where had a child
been held, they would not there would be no retaliatory like digital anti type
of justice between with their konum groups of people our office refers to him as
gangs. The people would be alive. And so there is I mean there
are this is life and death consequences in some of these situations. And speaking
of that, I guess there's a fourteen year old in commonplace court on trial
for murder. A fourteen year old after when I was fourteen years old,
I was worried about stupid stuff like the who will a girl look at me?
A fourteen year old is being a contract killer in order to kill other
people, and that we don't have a verdict yet. It might be later
this afternoon or tomorrow, but isn't in sixteen seventeen year olds being recruited because
there's a sense if you have someone under eighteen commit the crime for you that
the juvenile court system until recently dealt with it harshly. But our juvenile court
system doesn't do that anymore. And so the reason the gang bangers recruit a
fourteen year old on a contract killing because there's a sense not much is going
to happen to the fourteen, fifteen, sixteen year old. And if you
go through juvenile court with Judge Kerry Bloom's going to be a restorative justice,
there's going to be social justice, it's going to be conflict resolution, in
which case there won't be any charges filed and not a kid will not be
separated from society. Can you briefly tell us what's happening in that case before
Judge Louver's The verdict is coming out sometime today or tomorrow. We think there's
no doubt the message is loud and clear to those that are high risks,
youth that may commit crime, and even adults that know that the juveniles will
not be held accountable and that know there are no consequences. That is loud
and clear, and they know that that's not a deterrent, and they also
know the older ones can take recruit or take advantage of the ones. So
that's the case that you're talking about, is the murder for higher case,
and that was a gang that was a murder for higher gang operate in our
city. And then during a period of time, I forget how many months,
they were responsible for thirty percent of the homicides in Cincinnati, thirty And
these juveniles, these are the type of kids that must be They're dangerous,
that must be removed from the streets of our city. And I don't know
how anybody can look at that in any different way. They deserve to be
treated and receive the penalties in at all court because the juvenile system could never,
never serve those children, no, never. And Joe Dieters often we're
talking about I'm sorry, Joe Dieters often said that if he could separate five
hundred to one thousand of young folks in Hambleton County the city of Cincinnati,
that the crime rate would go down by seventy percent or more. We're not
talking about systemic problems. We're talking about a small number, small percentage committing
disproportion of crimes, having disproportion and impacts. That's the problem. Do you
buy into that too, That's a small number of people doing it. Really
it is. It is a very small number. And that's why the state
legislature, and I hope people understand what's happening and how this is. The
state legislature is trying to put forward a bill or a law that there will
be no longer juvenile bindovers. And again, this is a pervasive philosophy that
is sweeping our country. And you can see how that policy will fail,
will fail our communities and make us less safe and makes us dangerous. Because
the juvenile system only goes until the age of twenty one. So we have
a juveniles that are responsible for thirty percent of the murders, but if they
reach the age twenty one, they're back on the streets into the adult system.
At least they're subject to fifteen years to life on a murder charge.
On a murder charge, and the rehabilitation can could occur within the prison system.
And that's another area. Why don't you reform there to give you know,
occupation or educational opportunities, whatever it may be. Do the rehabilitation reform
there. Well, Melissa Powers, we have a prosecutor now that knows exactly
what juvenile court should be and it's not that way. And I think that
George Floyd's situation in the summer of twenty twenty calls many in Hamlety County to
say, let's get rid of the current system we have in juvenile court.
Let's change it. And it's changed for the worst. And I can't imagine.
I don't want our city and you and I are like lifelong Cincinnatians Hamley
County residents to go the way of Detroit or Chicago or Atlanta, Washington,
d C. Because I've always thought we were special and unique. And if
we give up, if we say we stop, okay, let Judge Carrie
Bloom and others do exactly what they want to do with conflict resolution or restorative
justice. We got to We're going to look like Toledo, Detroit, We're
gonna look like Portland that declared the ninety day state of emergency because the gangs
have taken over the streets. Well, Melissa Powers, we have to run.
I thank you, and I know you're going to stay strong. The
fight continues every day, and this isn't this isn't your grandfather's juvenile court anymore.
When one part of gangs are creating thirty percent of the murders, and
those murders aren't living in Indian Hill. They're living in Avondale and they're living
in Evanston, and that's the difficulty. Melissa Powers, I'm glad you're there.
Keep stay strong. The wind beneath your wings are the hundreds of thousands
of residents that are behind you in this fight. Good luck, and keep
doing exactly what you're doing. Thank you, Thank you. Bill. I'm
going to continue to fight to save our county. I don't want our beautiful
city to become one like we see so many other cities in our country.
They have been destroyed by these philosophies, these radical activists type judges and the
philosophy. So I'm here to save our county. That's why I accepted the
position in the job, and also to do the right thing to protect our
community. Melissa, thank you very much. Thank you. All right,
Let's continue with more and to have community activists like I iris Roy say the
kids aren't responsible. They're victims of our society and they need to be treated
as victims. No, they're the perpetrators that are causing victims. Let's continue
with more. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred WULW. Now is the
time to buy your new vehicle at Kerry Automotive dot com, whether you're in
the market for a Toyota, Ford, Buick, gmc Chevy, Nissan,
Marsa VW or Hundai. The place that must continue. After one o'clock today
will be Steve Rawley to talk about a local charity event coming up, plus
so much more. After two o'clock today will be Jesse Brewer of Boone County
to discuss of overnight's perspective of what's happening on the mean streets of Cincinnati,
plus more. I listened to the game last night. You see should have
won in West Virginia did not happen. They have a lead like that in
Cough it Up. The end is not good for West Miller and the Bearcats.
We'll see what happens the next three games or against very good opponents in
the Big twelve. We wish them the best. You glean from the comments
of Missy Powers, who has spent thirty two years in law enforcement, that
things are not good here in River City. And it's a noteworthy that Judge
Carrie Bloom has kept locked up in twenty twenty, which is the Juvenile Jail
twenty twenty Auburn. Two of the perpetrators, two have been released, two
are still locked up. And but for the media outcry, which includes those
from city council, I'm somewhat certain that the two that were locked up treating
a human head like a soccer ball will would have been released because many times
when light is put on cockroaches that they run away. And what's happening here
in juvenile court system and a lot of common police court in Hamlet County is
ignoring criminal law. The crime rate is down, so to speak, in
some categories because crime has been decriminalized. Cops rarely pull someone over in the
city of Cincinnati anymore. You might see some traffic enforcement on I seventy one
or I seventy five, but not in the city of Cincinnati. And it's
because I have to have peer ofval and share along and others do not want
to have a pushback from the Irish roly types and the so called consciences of
the black community and catch a bunch of flack. They don't want some incident,
so as a result, they don't pull people over. It used to
be that when cops showed up at districts one through five, and they didn't
have a lot of nine to one one calls. They would take a handful
of warrants and Okay, let's go see if we can find these individuals had
some free time. Let's go get them warns out for arrest. That doesn't
happen anymore either. And so when a traffic stop would occur and the ID
was not provided and the person did not have insurance, and they would check
through their computers to find out there was warrens out for the arrest, there'd
be an arrest, may the car would be towed. That doesn't happen so
much anymore. There's like a middle finger being administered to law enforcement in the
city of Cincinnati, which, by the way, is exactly what is happening
in every major American city. It's the liberal Democrat, Marxist philosophies of white
supremacy, white power, social justice, restorative justice, whatever term you want
to use. And it was summed up by a quick little interview by Iris
Rowley, who's a city activist paid for by the city to go do hotspots,
and she was asked something about responsibility, and she gave the comment to
one of the TV channels that those kids are not responsible for what they're doing.
They're the result of the system, the system in which black youths are
devalued. Whatever language you might use, well, most of the black kids
I know would have nothing to do whatsoever with criminal activity. I've shared with
these statistics before. We're talking about one to two percent of black males between
the ages of fourteen and thirty and involved in criminal activity. The great majority
want nothing to do with it. The kids that go to Deer Park,
the kids that go to use there's something in the range of fifteen to eighteen
thousand black kids and cps. It's a boat load. And of that number,
there might be five hundred or one thousand that need special attention from law
enforcement because they engage in criminal activity. And the problem is not we don't
have a metro bus pass or a line of sight down at the banks.
We have to improve the line of sight so that police have better view as
to what's going on. None of that is the answer. None of it
is the answer to what's going on. And when violence spikes at the banks,
the city says, well, let's move some plantings around so we have
better line of sight and when mindless violence takes place on the city of Cincinnati,
we find out for the mayor that I have to have pure of all
that. Really we have to look at the golden bus passes. We have
to maybe not get so many kids together on Fountain score. At the same
time, no one has ever taken responsibility for personal criminal behavior and saying that
those kids must be separated from our American society. The great majority of black
kids have nothing to do with crime. I've discussed this with Lincoln b Ware
and Aleisia Reese and Chris Smitherman has a bunch of good black kids of course,
as his children, no issues. But what's happening is that the plight
of inner city kids that have no functioning family life, no father, no
mother, and about seventy percent of black kids at CPS are chronically absent,
don't go to school. So what do you do on trial? Now?
As a gang members of fourteen fifteen sixteen year olds contract killers paid to kill
other members of some other gang. Then the revenge and the retribution begins.
This is a huge problem, and we just heard Brian Combs talk about the
homeless crisis is accelerating in Cincinnati. You might recall when John Cranley was there
and Joe Dieterers is in the prosecutor's office, they worked out a plan where
you cannot sleep on city streets. And if you walk around downtown Cincinnati now
you'll see dozens of individuals in sleeping bags, sleeping everywhere, and the cops
have been told to leave them alone. This will proliferate like a cancer in
our community. We're going to look like Chicago, Portland, Columbus, Cleveland
unless it stopped, and history has taught us it probably will not stop unless
you, as a voter and someone who cares steps up and says not on
my watch. It would be great if Gwen McFarlane, the chair of the
Amilely County Democratic Party. I've had breakfast with her, and Gwen McFarlane is
a good woman, if she would send out the message as the head of
the Democratic Party that this is unacceptable and that unless these liberal Democratic judges change
their viewpoint about law enforcement, they will not get the endorsement of the Democrat
Party. Carry Bloom has a political target on her back because of her theories
about restorative justice and conflict resolution and freeing individuals who commit violent crimes. It
would be great, And I know Michelle Kearney, the Vice mayor, has
said that she wants to meet with the judges to talk about what they're doing
out whether a conversation will change someone's hard fought beliefs about how unjust America is,
about how terrible the police are, and about how defunding the police is
a great idea that you can change someone like a Carrie Bloom with a conversation.
I guess it's possible. But what did happen is to of these kids
that were, shall we say, arrested for the for the marauding in downtown
Cincinnati yesterday, were picked up into the shock of many, they were kept
in jail, which is quite unusual. The attitude, according to Melissa Powers,
who spent a decade in juvenile court as a judge, was that,
you know, we're going to release these kids for serious charges with EMU on
agreement to come back and then quietly dismiss the charges. When I watched a
public defender a couple of nights ago talk about restorative justice, which means let's
get together and talk talk about this, that that's the way to go.
And I would note that Judge carry Bloom had a campaign slogan of rethinking juvenile
court to bring an endo the twenty first century. Rethinking means the reform means
to quit putting young folks in jail for serious crimes, including rape. She
had a rape case about two years ago in which fifteen or sixteen year old
was raped by another juvenile, and instead of binding that kid over for felony
prosecution to Joe Deaters, Judge carry Bloom had the rapist prepare a book report
about how bad rape can be of a fellow teenager and that was the end
of it. I would say, if a teenager rapes another teenager, it's
time to bind them over, treat them as an adult. When you commit
adult crime, you need to do adult time. But that's not the attitude
juvenile court today in every major American city. Carrie Bloom is not out of
touch with what's what's happening to judges, Like in New York City, I'm
looking to my right. You may recall NYPD officers were called to a fight
scene in front of the Roosevelt Hotel where the immigrants are living free, and
suddenly the two cops who went there in uniform were viciously attacked by a dozen
migrants who kicked them, kicked them in the head, tried to get their
guns out of the holster. They were fighting for their lives. More cops
showed up in the restroommate, and the judges in New York City quickly released
with no bond the perpetrators. They're out before the paperwork is even done,
and i'm looking now this morning. One was released and gave the news media
cameras a one finger salute out of each hand, and another one was released
giving us the brush off sign they don't care. Twenty two year old immigrant
from Honduras kicks the crap out of two cops and is out of jail before
they can complete paperwork. One of the cops seemingly has permanent damage traumatic brain
injury, and another one suffered other injuries. NYPD is fit to be tied,
but that's the attitude. This is not unusual in major cities. Of
the top forty cities inside large urban counties in America, there's thirty nine of
forty are controlled by liberal Marxist Democratic prosecutors. There's one county that has Melissa
Powers, a Republican who wants to enforce the law, which twenty years ago
would be in the middle of where everyone else in New York City was functional
for twenty years after Dinkin's ruined it between Giuliani and Bloomberg and the residents elected
them, and New York City was the same large city in America, if
not the world. Over the last ten years, that's all changed. It
is not safe anymore. It's dangerous, and Cincinnati is becoming dangerous, not
because the citizens wanted it. I don't think Gwenn McFarlane, Democratic chair,
who's a good woman, wants this to happen in her community. There must
be a coming together of liberal Democrats to say we will not look like Portland,
Washington, d C, Atlanta, and New York Cleveland. We don't
want to look like that anymore. Homelessness cannot take over our city. Fentanyl
and drug use cannot take over our city. Kids who belong in school and
by the way, according to statistics, about seventy percent of black males at
CPS are chronically absent. They're not in school either. So there has to
be some come to Jesus, get together by only the Democrats because they control
this city, in this County hell Liz Keaton could not get elect to the
city council, despite spending the most money, having a very distinguished record,
she didn't get a sniff. And the only two Democrats in county government are
the County Engineer I'm not even sure who that Republican is and Melissa Powers.
And now the Democratic Party's going to wage a campaign against Melissa Powers to get
her out of office and put in someone who's never tried a felony case Countie
Pillage and has run for repeatedly other offices and lost. And she needs a
job. We have a good prosecutor, and Melissa Powers is the last line
of defense. Imagine someone like Harry Bloom as the prosecutor. How much publicity
would there be about these circumstances. There would be none, and the city
will go right down the crapper. So that's where we are. And I
have a sense that until the Democratic Party itself to have pirival and Michelle Ny
and Scottie Johnson, Democrat on city Council was a cop for like twenty five
or thirty years. He knows what's going on, but politically it is not
popular to have the criminal element take responsibility for their own behavior. It is
more dominant in the black community to have the Irish roly types blame the system
when she says, these boys and girls are not responsible for what they did,
and then who in the hell is responsible? You me, I don't
know. Of course, they're responsible for what they do, and when you
commit adult crimes, you do adult times. But that's not the idea happening
all over the United States of America today. What we're seeing locally is not
unusual. It is common, which is why our majestic American cities are being
ruined by restorative justice progressives and liberals. Will it happen in the city of
Cincinnati work well at this point, yes, until the Democratic Party itself,
the Party of Sako Wheethy, the Party of Tim Burke, the Party of
Glenn McFarlane rise up and say let's have a meeting. We don't want Cincinnati
to look like Chicago. And the judges are a big problem in this county.
Not the Pat dinkelockers. It's the restorative justice crowd, the Wendy Crosses
and the judge Blooms. People like that were indoctrinated in college and law school
about how unjust, how unfair, how racist America is, and now that
they're in power, they want to exercise their abilities. As they were taught
in college in law school, that you have to get into power and change
the system and go after it. You see the results in every major American
city is in near collapse. The majestic cities have been destroyed. Will Cincinnati
be next? Let's continue with more if a line becomes available seven five,

family, Simon Lease's daughter Julie and Steve Raleigh, husband and wife, have
put together an effort to instead of cursing the darkness, lighting a candle about
some needs, especially of kids that are having crises in their lives. But
one reason or another. It could be drugs, could be mental health,
could be a moment away from reality of what you're dealing with. It's called
Mattie's House And once again Steve Raleigh and Julie welcomed again to the Bill Cunningham
Show. And first of all, let's begin with Julie. Julie, can
you tell the American people, you're the mom of Mattie, the difficulties that
you went through as a mother dealing with your daughter and what brought her to
the to the suicide that she committed, and then why the idea of Mattie's
Mattie's House was created and what it's doing right now. It's talk to the
American people about the last two or three years, the difficulties you had with
your daughter. Well, first off, thanks Phil for having us on and
and you know, no parent is supposed to very a child. It just
the roller coaster ride of having a daughter with mental health issues which turned into
addiction issues. She had a very severe trauma that happened to her. And
a lot of the young young kids that turn to drugs and alcohol have had
a traumatic event, be it a mental be it a sexual trauma, be
it a physical trauma. Maddie had had a trauma and she tried to mask
the PTSD that post traumatic stress disorder that was that came after the trauma with
drugs and alcohol. And then just the spiral and like I said, a
real true roller coaster ride, the ups and downs, the twists and turns
that a family goes through that, the you know, child that's suffering with
the mental health and addiction issues go through. It is a traumatic event for
everybody, and it's a family disease. It's real, it happens. It's
you know, our suicide rate is up thirty seven percent throughout Hamilton County and
the state of Ohio. Unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable. So after losing Maddie and
at her young age of twenty four taking her life, she gave us the
idea of Mattie's House. You know, she went into rehab program, she
went into psychiatric hospitalizations, but the reality of when you get out of one
of those places, there's not a lot of help. There's not a lot
of outpatient help. So Mattie's House creates that space. It gives them a
place to go. It's that mental health hangout for recovering young adults and it's
a positive, uplifting, colorful world that they enter when you come to Maddie's
House. And it was totally her idea. I mean, Stephen says it
best. You know, Maddie says, I need, I just need I
need a place to go. There's nowhere to go and we're for everything.
We do all the services that you receive in a rehab or psychiatric fulvision.
We can provide you with the music therapy, the art therapy, the yoga,
the meditation. We have an amazing meditation room with an amazing massage chair
that they can sit in with you know, good touch versus a negative touch
that a lot of these young adults have had. So it's a great place.
I hate the way it started, but I know Maddi's life. She
didn't take her life in vain. We're affecting. We're winning the battle with
young adults, and it's working well, you know, Julie. One thing,
I have a family member who's been on the streets for about ten years
and she is every now and then. She would knock on her mother's door
over the years, let her in, Okay. It's hard when a child
in crisis is an adult like eighteen, nineteen twenty knocking on the door,
okay, come on in. And then you come back from work and there's
three of her friends there and it's not working out. Things were stolen back
and for this particular family member has been in rehab now fourteen times, and
each time it failed back on the streets, heroin and mom is her mother's
just waiting for that call from the morgue. When you're eighteen years old and
you're in crisis and you're in some sort of foster care, and then you
get to be eighteen, okay, you're good to go out on the street.
And out on the street it's not a good place to be either.
And all I know is this, this is a terrible, terrible problem.
And so you have a fundraiser coming up Headquartered with the great Marty Brenneman to
try to raise money for Maddie's house, and that's going to be it's going
to be a big event at Music Call. And Steve Rawley, let me
ask you this. A father feels differently toward daughters and mothers. They're the
same, love is there, but it's different a father's love and a mother's
love for a daughter in crisis. Did you ever feel at a time while
she was still going through this that it was it was your fault or it
was Julie's fault, it was the system's fault. You went through a living
hell. How does a father process this? Well, I will say,
Bill, there's no question we obviously had thoughts of regrets or things maybe we
could have done or done better or whatever. At the bottom line, though,
I don't know that it's anybody's fault because of what Julie said. It
starts with a trauma and our daughter had one, and then we had to
live with the twists and turns for about ten or twelve years, and at
times the difficulty becomes that you're doing everything you can and there's nothing more you
can do, and there's a hopelessness that comes along sometimes with a situation like
this, and one of the things we're trying to at least provide for other
families who are in crisis is not to feel that hopelessness. With Maddie's house
a place where someone can go to build time, find their people, and
feel hope. Because there was nothing like this and there still isn't anything like
this around the Midwest, and there's few examples in the country. We want
to be a template so that folks who are having somebody who comes out of
recovery are out of treatment, to know that there's somewhere to go. The
after care market is not being fulfilled, and so I don't know if it's
anybody's fault, but your direct question, we need that after care market fulfilled.
And we're trying to do something along those lines. Because the day that
the two detectives came to our front door here, Julie actually was at work
and I had to answer the door, and you can imagine the pain and
the difficulty, the crying and everything that goes along with it when someone tells
you that they found your daughter. We're trying to do something along those lines.
And you, I have to say, have always been a big supporter,
and I want to thank you for letting us get the word out about
Maddie's house and the things that we do. And long term, I'm the
son of an alcoholic and as a kid, I didn't have the mental strength,
the emotional abilities to deal with my father's alcoholism when I was fourteen years
old, when I was seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,
twelve, thirteen, fourteen. I mean, you're a kid, and at
that point it was almost perceived as something's wrong with that person. If you're
a drunk, but just quit drinking, if you have suicidal tendencies, shake
it off, go do something different. And it doesn't work that way.
I mean, I wish you could take a pill. And Julie, do
you hear some of that? Another factor in this is that Steve Raleigh,
you're a noted public figure, and of course Maddie was Sheriff Simon Lisa's granddaughter.
And so how does that layer in, Julie, how does that layer
into treatment when when your name is lease in this community and Steve Rawleigh is
on the air for the last on twenty five years, the top meteorologist in
town, and is there a sense of, oh my gosh, we have
failed the family something like that. Oh, we felt. We absolutely felt
that, and I think for the first year we didn't even tell anybody.
We kept it very internal, and we asked the question of what didn't we
do, what should what? What's missing here? As a parent we looked.
But then as we saw Maddie, you know that the trauma just the
we needed help and it is like it's a chronic disease. It's not something
they can just turn off right or there is no magic pill. You know,
you think, oh, let's go to the doctor and order me that
happy pill. Well, it doesn't happen when you have a you know,
post traumatic stress disorder. That that's real. The anxiety, the depression,
what you go through is real. The medications that they put you on,
some of them have suicidal you know thoughts that's a side effect or the weight
gain that causes more depression. Is it is a tough, tough, chronic
disease. And it you know, being that family that has the name with
my father as the sheriff, with Stephen, you know as the weather man,
and it just shows you it crosses all boundaries poor, you know,
middle class, rich. This is a disease that affects up every family has
a story or has a knows a friend that has this disease. And it
doesn't go away. It doesn't go away. It's there and it's just you
have to battle it and you have to have a community around you. That's
where Maddie's House is there to continue building the healthy when you get out of
rehab, when you get out of psychiatric hospitlization, we are there to catch
you and continue building that road to healthy. And you know right now is
Dave Rowley. There's thousands, thousands in the Tri State individuals, moms and
dads and grandparents going through exactly the same thing. But they don't have access
to the media, they don't have access to all the treatment that Maddie maybe
had access to, and they're just average people. I'm thinking my more or
less distant family member that the name is unknown, and she's on the streets
right now, somewhere in a OTR. She's about thirty eight or forty years
old. She's been out there for ten to fifteen years. I recently saw
a picture of her. It didn't even look like her, and I'm thinking,
I don't know. But instead of cursing the darkness, the Lease and
the Raleigh Families lit a candle described February twenty fourth at Music Hall, what's
coming up? Yeah, sure will. We are doing our second roast and
toast, And as you mentioned, the great Marty brennanman Hall of Famer,
is going to put himself on the hot seat. So he is going to
be sitting there with folks like Bill Hemmer, of course, his son,
Tom Justice, Joe Dieters, Doug Flynn, the Ballplayer, Tracy Jones,
the Ballplayer, We've got Bob from Bob and Tom, Doc Hollywood, Tim
Kremcheck, Dave Laplan's going to be there. Of course, my father in
law more noted as the Honorable Simon L. Least Junior. Jeff Ruby is
going to be there, your capadre, our colleague, Scott Sloan will be
there, so Sloan he's there, and Josh Need, the national comedian,
will be there. And we had one last year for Simon Lease and to
say it was raucous with some debauchery and some just straight up fun thrown in
might be under selling the event. But that's how we're raising some money to
add an addition to Maddie's house. And what that addition is going to be
is a multi purpose gym because one of the great things in life that helps
folks who are staying in recovery and with mental health is physical activity. So
we want to be able to have that addition to it. And more to
the point, Julie wanted you tell them what we're going to David, and
how we're doing it. Well, you know, my father served this city
for fifty one years as press new attorney, com police court judge, and
the sheriff, and you know there's not one thing named after him, not
a street, not a wall, not a courtroom. So he's very public
about this. He's been diagnosed with stage four metastatic cancer and he's fighting the
fight and he's a bulldog like the Marines are. So we are building a
gym in his honor. His favorite thing to do is go to the Sintia
Athletic Clubs. Open that place up at four in the morning and work out.
So it will be named after dad, Simon Lee's wellness and fitness center.
And trying to raise the money. We need about three million dollars and
we want to break ground hopefully the sprink is you know, while he's still
on the earth. That's my goal. I want him to be able to
put that shovel in the earth on our campus at Mattis thousand and know that
that structure is going to be built and it's going to be standing to help
thousands and thousands of young adults that need the help. Let me have it
goes, yeah, go ahead, yes, h m h Sincy dot Org
m H. So it's Maddie. You know, it's like Maddie's house since
the sincey with a Y m H. Sincy Dodd Org and Bill one edition
of that that is very special. Julie and I. Unfortunately Madison didn't have
a lot of success in life. It just didn't come her way. We
know she's in a better place. I think of it always as Jacob Marley,
kind of losing all those chains of life. And the one success she
had was on the basketball court. She played for an Oak Kills Inner Mural
League and they won the championship of the league. And to say that she
was proud of that trophy would just be a big understatement. Again, So
it's important to us to have that component because it's helpful to so many.
It also honors, of course Simon Leees. And so we hope everybody will
go mhsincy dot org and come join us for this great time at music Hall
and Marty Brenneman getting roasted wonderful mh sincey with a y dot org got a
run. But Steve and Julie, instead of cursing the darkness, both you
have lit a candle. This need is tremendous in the tri State and I
wish you nothing but the best. Oh, thank you, Bell, Thank
You've been so great. Bill, Thank you so much, God bless you
both. Thank you very much. All right, let's continue with more.
The line becomes available five one, three, seven, four, nine seven,

We'll see see what you can do. What about the blockbuster today,
Willie? The announcement this morning about Lowell before eight o'clock across the pond,
Lewis Hamilton leaving Mercedes to go to Ferrari in twenty twenty five, That is
like mind boggling to people. What about Verse Sapping? Is that the guy's
name Stapping, Max verst Stapping, the three time world champion. He's staying
with Red Bull, so he's still number three. But the earthquake is still
reverberating around on the motorsports world. I don't know much about that by them.
Well, I mean you're a fan, you know what I'm talking about.
We're all stupid just about different things. Will he the stood reporters of
Proud Service, every local Tamestar heating and air conditioning dealers Tamestar quality you can
feel in beautiful Milford, the home of one main gallery called Baker Heating,
right down the street at five one three, eight three to one fifty one
twenty four. But we also want to thank Ron's Roost Restaurant and Bar Willie
the World's Greatest Fried Chicken and more thirty eight to fifty three Race Road at
five one three, five seven four two two two Ronsrooost dot net on that
thing called the world Wide Web. The Queen herself, Donna brought down the
better half of Ron brought down our lunch today. We had chicken, mashed
potatoes, green beans. We had ribs, we had pretzels, we had
vegetable soup, We had everything on the menu. Ron Larkin just makes it
all for us. Thank you. You should go there, not even eat
the chicken, eat everything else, because it didn't just chicken. Correct,
It's a bunch of stuff and cheese. Get a grilled cheese is on the
menu. Getta get a grilled cheese. Let's see welle Yarzavier Musketeers knockoff Rick
Patino Saint John's Red Storm last night in eighty eight to seventy seven. Uh.
The Muskies rebound from that blowout lost Sunday at Yukon, but West Virginia
beats the Cincinnati Bearcats sixty nine sixty five. The Cats had a ten point
lead late and lose it in the last six and a half minutes. Not
good. Get more tonight on that game and more. Wes Miller showed live
for the original Montgomery in starting at eight oh five after Sports Talk here on
seven hundred WLW. Not good. Florida upset Kentucky at Rupperena and OT ninety
four ninety one, So they're not Big Blue Nation is apparently not happy.
Nku's not doing well either. Well. I think they're one game away.
Whatty three points open then come back? It could have been worse. Rick
Patina correct, pretty good. Let's see Seattle Seahawks are going to hire a
Ravens defensive coordinator. Mike McDonald and the Washington Commanders today now every opening is
set. The Washington Commanders are going to hire Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn
as their new head coach, taking over for Ron Rivera. So all the
positions are filled and no Belichick correct well, Bill supposedly is going to coach
the Dallas Cowboys next year. We'll see what happens. I don't know.
I don't know. Let's see what else is going on here. Thirteen days
until Red's pitchers and catchers report, are you sure? Thirteen days and four
weeks from this Saturday Cactus League Baseball opener against the Guardians. Of course it's
the Guardians, correct well, and fifty seven days till they play Nickson in
the Washington Nationals on opening day at GABP. Are you getting your speech ready?
Well, I may do a switch, Rooney. I'm thinking about not
predicting the Reds are gonna win everything to cause it to occur, because recently
we won't that throw the tri State into a frenzy. Well, for the
last thirty three years, since nineteen ninety, I've predicted one thing right and
it hasn't happened yet, that's for sure. So I'm thinking about going the
opposite way. I talked to Karen Kraft about this with the Reds executive VP.
Okay, I've got her permission to go ahead and pick some other team
to win the World Series this year using that old reverse psychology. You know
what I'm saying. I see what you mean. So if you pick Otani
and that eight trillion billion dollars worth of humanity on a baseball team called the
Dodgers, you're gonna say Dodgers are gonna win it. Then all of a
sudden, the Reds sneak in again. David Bell's got the ring, we
got the money, we got everything. Thank you. Then I can take
credit by Switzer Rooney shocking. That's not a bad. That's not a bad
to beat the Buffalo Bills, to pick them to beat the Chiefs? How
that work out? I didn't wonder, Sloan, he's been sick. I
did pick the Lions to beat up and go to the NFC, go to
the Super Bowl? How'd that work out? Not good? Forty nine ers
in fact in this match. So who are you gonna pick? Now?
The Chiefs are the Niners. You're gonna go with Tata or the Battle with
or by the Bay. I can pick neither. But I'm gonna take the
Chiefs because of Taylor Swift. And I asked this question yesterday. Excuse me,
Eddie Fingers. Here was the question, Okay, he's forgotten more about
music than you and I in the rock note correct? Does she belong on
the Mount Rushmore of American music? Because I said to Eddie, tell me
the act or the singer today that could go to any continent, including Antarctica,
and have three or four live performances back to back to back, sell
out one hundred thousand in every performance, right, and the customers are begging
for more. Well, they added on a second concert here, right,
yes, yeah, and they could have well there was a talk about adding
a third and that she would have sold out the seventy thousand. Are you
give me the name of the act today that could go to Argentina, Yugoslavia,
Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the sub and
the sub continent anywhere and sell it out as for days and weeks. What
don't tell me the Rolling Stones? Those guys out to quit. They're in
their eighties. For Gouds. What about Metallica? What about what about Lady
Gaga. Could she sell out a corps like two three foot Lady Gaga?
No, No, I bet I'm saying I'm not sure anybody. Right.
The Beatles in their prime sold out Cincinnati Gardens and Crosley Field, which was
like three quarters full, right in their prime in the rain, in the
rain, and that was postponed when Saint Louis came back Dusty Roads in the
next of Dusty Roads and the King. But right now, Taylor Swift,
she is the most downloads, the most record sales, the most ticket sales
in music history. And she's and she has brought three hundred and thirty one
million dollars into the coffers of the National Football League. You take the biggest
brand in the world, right, NFL with the biggest musical act of all
time together, right? I think what she after this year? She she
ought to do the halftime show from now until she's eighty five years years old.
If she still go nuts the simple multitude, the demand in Vegas that
she pops out of the state, gotta be and sing and dance with usher,
I think, I think, I think she's going to walk out on
the field right before the national anthem and push Reba out of the way.
She's singing the anthem, and then at halftime they're gonna I don't know she'll
pop out of a cake or not, but she'll be there. She's gonna
say I got this. Bingo said, see, you wouldn't want to be
And I spoke to Wayne Allen Root in Vegas. He tells me this,
Yeah, he has heard that if the Chiefs win the Lombardi Trophy, Oh
boy, that as the confetti is coming down and they're on stage, I
guess with who, Jim Nance, I don't know, yes, yeah,
and then Travis Kelcey will get down on one knee no on National TV,
right there in front of and say will you marry me? The world will
come to when that happens. That's it. They will levitate bab go the
crowd right. And I'm thinking Israel and Hamas will become friends. Nobody will
be shooting each other for the rest of their lives. What if that happens
that. I'm just saying, they're both thirty four, I both want to
get married to somebody. He'll announce his retirement and then I'll be her road
manager. I think he got the get I guess he got the ring from
Genesis Diamonds. Not sure where he got it from, but i'll tell you
that. Right now, we're watching some about that rock that can never be
in nowhere. You think she'll wear like shit? I think that the ring
will be like a boulder on her hand. It'll be a block of home
city ice a block, and she won't be able to lift her hand.
Thank you. He's only worth one hundred and fifty million, which means she
wants a prenup. What's he worth billion? She wants a prenup? She's
as worth it. She's as worth as much as the baldimar Orioles are worth
one point seven billion dollars that they just they just got sold to an equity
fud. That's ridiculous. I don't get it. I don't know what the
reds are worth. Two and the other thing. She's been at this for
fifteen years, right, remember her with Tim McGraw. Yeah, she sang,
and it's fifteen years. Who's that now? Look according to the sheriff,
one point one nine. But I think it's worth more than it.
Bob Castellini is spending hundreds of millions of dollars. He told his staff.
Look, before I leave this earth, I want to be a tight World
Series champion. Bingo not bad? What do you think this swarth was?
Somebody will pay for correct and Bob Castellini all in, that's for sure.
Now one other thing. Yeah, you were talking about Trevor Bauer. Do
you know his eer wasn't eat and that he was demoted to the miners?
You mean in Japan? Correct? I don't know they had a minor league
in Japan. I don't know what it's called, but I read online that
Treuler Bower has been so yo. You know what, though, somebody,
some some major league team here will pay him like eight hundred million dollars to
pitch. No, they will not, because but it won't be here thirty
three right? And an eight not going to bring that baggage here to the
queen lighting him up? What would the Dodgers hitters do? What anybody do?
My point is you can forget about Trevor Bauer coming back to major League
back if he had, if he had like a one two or e r
A, oh, maybe they'd be lined up at his door. What about
an eight and demoted in Japan with a deal deal. I'm just saying you
better quit pound in that drum. I'm not I don't know what to tell
you. I don't know, I don't know, nobody knows. Well,
he's not coming here. I know that they got enough pitching here. You
know they Bell's got more pitchers and infielders. I think Adolo probably can't even
get a spot well, probably going to come out of the pen. But
that's what spring training is for. WILLI. You know this is competition,
you got it. Depend you gotta see what's going on anything else in sports.
But just think about Tata super Bowl. On the other hand, if
that happens, Jim Nance will pass out, He'll have to miss the Masters
because he's not feeling well, and the world will come to an end.
If Travis Kelsey goes on one knee and asks Tata, will you marry me?
What if she says no, then she'll endorse that Joe Biden as president
of the United States. I don't know what to tell you. Got a
text here from Wally He got a report out of a Las Vegas that they
have a suite of rooms and there could be an Elvis Presley officiated wedding in
Vegas right there at at the Elvis chapel. That's what Wally says, is
going to go from the field itself to the wedding chapel, the big ee
laying down the law. Can you see Elvis Mary Taylor Swift? That would
be big? What oh are we want? It's I don't know what to
say. Whether they lose, they break up. Yes, it's all on
Kansas City and they're the dog by like one or two points, right,
But I'm I'm picking Kansas City like I picked Buffalo, like I always picked
the Reds, Like I picked Detroit to beat the forty nine ers. How'd
that work out? Over? And I picked Xavier to beat Connecticut? How'd
that look again? Over? And I beat? I picked you see to
beat West Virginia. How does that look? And I picked Kentucky to beat
Florida? How'd that look? Double l Just saying But if that happens,
Oh, and then they go to Elvis and get married, oh, I
mean, won't be enough cameras. It'll be like Zuckerberg testifying before the Congress
and the apologize. You know, they could be married by the king on
the plane back to Tokyo because she's going to be here in time. Just
barely. Well, I guarantee you one. I guarantee you one thing.
The National Football League is going to say, hold up on that car for
a few minutes. Wise, gentlemen, hold on a minute. There's going
to hold on a minute. We got as as they said the other day,
we have an administrative time out. Whatever that means. That's what they
said on tea Jim Nan said about picking the rights. What mean? Yeah,
that's good because psychology very good. Nice segment, Get me out of
the stud's report coming up next to your friend Jesse Brewer from Boone County about
how Boone County residents and leaders the home of the rebels process, what's happening
in downtown Cincinnati. And by the way, the magistrate who locked up those
two gang members was a magistrate kim Burke. Female. Kim Burke, as
you know, was the drug court bizarre in Hamilton County for a long time.
Maybe they got the message to enforce the law because the cops are extremely
unhappy when not good when those they arrest get out before they complete the paperwork.
Then flip a bird at the cops like those immigrants did in New York.
Nice did you see that photo well, I guess they got I guess
they got those perpetrators in New York City that beat those cops up, right,
But they released no bond, let them go. And then when they
walked out and one of them gave the one finger salute to the cameraman,
I with jettison that guy into the Hudson River. We're in trouble segment.
Get me out of the student's report, please. William was on this day,
February first, nineteen forty four. February first, nineteen forty four,
initial planning for the landings at D Day began by the United States and the
Allies very secret. It was secret, correct, because as you know,
they were going to go to Normandy, But they told the Germans were going
to Calais, right, tricked them bingo. And when it began, the
Germans did not think it was a real invasion. They're waiting for the invasion
at Calais about forty miles north. Correct. They didn't bring the Atlantic Wall
down as much, Thank god. Yep, Nazis are evil segment, Give
me out of the Stuge report. Just did you did? Yeah, let's
continue listening. What about the Immortal a wards of the stuturepoint you didn't get
Willie. Also, what's that planet we see outside sunshine today? Is that?
What is that the sun? I haven't seen that thing since July last
year. I should have asked Tve Rawley about that, or Jennifer Ketchmark or
Frankie m or thein I like Frankie. We leave you with the immortal words
of the Stood Report. It's been seven years coming, Babe. I'll learn
one thing since I've been here. You gotta fight. He's partying right now.
But if that happens a week from Sunday, the world ends as we
know it. Bingo. Let's continue with more. We never stop, We
simply continue on news Radio seven hundred WLW. Encore Technologies provides it solutions for
a data centered world with a suite of services from mobile computing, the desktop
to data centinati as to how it's the crime here is being viewed by those
who live in the so called suburb and when you do statistically, there's about
two point two million Americans who live in the metro, which is four or
five counties in northern Kentucky, three and in the end at about ten in
southwest Ohio and about thirty five percent of my listenership is in northern Kentucky and
Indiana outside of the city of Cincinnati Hamlin County. And so when things happen
in Cincinnati, the media is here, so to speak, is broadcasted throughout
the Tri state area, and many times those living in Boone County or Kenton
County or a middletown have a different perspective as to what's happening and the impact
that it has. And we do know that of the two point two million
people that live in the Tri State, only about three hundred thousand are in
the city of Cincinnati, which means one point nine at a two point two
million do not live in the city of Cincinnati, but are impacted by what
occurs here. This is the heart that beats the Tri State, the city
of Cincinnati, and when there's a problem in River City, it tends to
impact citizens who live, for example, in Boone County. Joining you and
I now is Jesse Brewer, who's a commissioner in Boone County. And Jesse,
welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And when you live in Boone
County, you're safe and secure, You're distant. What do you as a
public official in Boone County. What do you see, how do you process
what's happening in the city of Cincinnati, and whether you want to come downtown
anytime soon? You know, that's that's that's a very valid point. It's
a question I talk about a lot. You know, me right now,
I'm comfortable going downtown, but I'm not sure if I want to take my
wife and kids downtown. And that's a shame because there's a lot of you
know, things to do and see and eat and things to offer, and
I know the city depends on that. You know. I just read recently
Fifth Third is bringing back a bunch of jobs downtown, I guess, to
help, you know, with the economy down there, and then this type
of stuff impacts the economy and businesses and shopkeepers. I mean, I feel
awful for the victims, you know, whether it's random or even known.
I mean, human life is precious, no matter who it is or what
it is, and it's a shame to see that happen, the senseless violence
in life. And you know, we got to empower our police and our
courts and our judges, you know. I mean, the problem with crime
is if someone really wants to do something, They're going to do it.
Our biggest protection is the deterrent of the repercussions. And when we don't back
our law enforcement and our judges and things of that nature, and what what's
the what's what's the recourse? What's what? Why not you know, do
do that? And it's it's it's scary to watch, you know, I
know Ohio and Kentucky or concealed care or constitutional carry states now, and people
do take defense classes and the arm and equip themselves. But there's only so
much preparation you can do. You know, everyone's you know, Mike Tyson
said it best. Everyone's got a plan until they get punched in the face.
Willy and and people when if it happens, you don't know how you're
going to react because most people in their lifetimes have never been involved in a
situation like that and hopefully never will be. But but the fear of it,
the anxiety, the anticipation, and the fact that it could happen,
it's going to scare a lot of people off, but it rightfully should.
Basically, it's not has a few things that Boone County and Kenton County doesn't
have, which is the Reds the Bengals in FC, and I think many
people feel comfortable going to a Redge game or a Bengals game, or going
to soccer, but then they quickly leave. And the problem is businesses have
got to survive. And the difficulty here is that when judges are empowered,
but when you have a judge and a system in juvenile court, Judge Carry
Bloom believes in things like conflict resolution and restorative justice, and she's written about
the fact that you can't rely upon eyewitness testimony and you can't rely upon videotape
because it could be a different angle. She looked for reasons to find the
juvenile not responsible and George Floyd riots caused the election of Judge Kerry Bloom because
she spent little money. She came out of the Public Defender's office and I
was told she was shocked that she won. She took over a juvenile court
system that was pretty damn good because Melissa Powers was there, and John Williams
was there, and Judge Sylvia CV Hendon was there, and Judge Schwartz was
there, and Judge Grossman was there. It was a pretty good system.
But she has an attitude now that was expressed by community activists that the kids
are not responsible for their criminal acts. They are victims of a larger society,
whether it's white supremacy, whether it's whether it's white privilege. They want
to that She's institute is something called restorative justice and social justice and conflict resolution,
and that means, Jesse Brewer that when assaults take place, first of
all, get the kid back on the street. Secondly, see if the
child will meet with the victims and see if we can talk to each other
to get them not to beat somebody up and treat their head like a soccer
ball on government square, kicking it around. And that was not the attitude
until very recently in Hambleton County. So you play this forward and say,
okay, when community activists like Iris Roley and other say the kids are not
responsible. Now a seventeen year old boy who's wilding in the streets of downtown
Cincinnati, that seventeen year old boy six foot two, two hundred and ten
pounds is not responsible for what he's done. How do you process that?
You know, I have a hard time processing that, And I've got three
sons myself, the oldest being twenty one. Then I have assumed to be
nineteen year old and a sixteen year old and you know, just watching them
grow up. You know, my twenty one year old son, you know,
he was he was six foot two in the eighth grade. You know,
he's a man, he's bigger than me. And if he was you
know, exert that kind of force as a man who would exert he needs
to be responsible. Yeah, you know, Unfortunately, not every kid is
dealt in even playing deck with their upbringing. And I and I recognize that
there's a lot of differences in our own community with that, and that impacts
a lot of things. You know, lack of parental sport or lack of
a support from a carrying adult or film member has a a big negative impact
on kids. And why I synthesize with that and understand that I want to
help that. That's not a free path to hurt somebody else because they they're
just as there and they did have a better upbringing. No right from wrong,
that's not the answer. We can't just excuse the behavior. Unfortunately,
do we need to get treatment and counseling and therapy, absolutely, but going
and I don't want to lock kids up unnecessarily or anyone up unnecessarily, but
sometimes we have to do what we have to do to protect others. And
that's just the way it is. And Jesse Brow, I'm watching this vicious
assault in New York City two nights ago two in uniform NYPD, the finest
officers show up for some sort of fight happening on a sidewalk out in front
of the Roosevelt Hotel, which is four hundred and fifty rooms, all paid
for by the taxpayer, all occupied by migrants that are destroying the rooms.
And they show up to a monitor a fight going on, and suddenly the
seven or eight legal immigrants launched themselves on these NYPD officers and beat the crap
out of them, and then more cops showed up, and they were finally
arrested, and all six who were beating up on the cops were given an
o R bond and walked out of the uh walked out of the jail within
four hours, flipping the bird to the news media. And that is similar
to what's happening in Cincinnati, where those responsible for the six three assault were
given oh R bond or no bond and told to leave, just to walk
out the front door. What happened on Now there's been two more arrests taking
place on the Government Square situation, and they're being held. I think,
But if this same event took place in Boone County, what would occur to
the juveniles in Boone County? Well, they would be detained. They would
not I would. I would like to think. You know, we have
a really good we have a really good set of judges, good Kyle Wealth
Prosecutor Lewis Kelly. We have a good county attorney with the misdemeanor stuff,
Jordan Turner, and I don't think they would stand for something like that.
I know they wouldn't stand that. I know them both personally, and I
know they would be really tough on that and do everything they can. Would
they sympathize and want to get the juvenile health? Not sure, because obviously
there's something going on, But they're not going to stand for let's just cut
them loose and hope they come back and hold hands around the table and hug
each other. I mean, that's not the case here. We're beyond that.
And then you know, we have a little bit different view in Kentucky
on crime. You know, right now, in our legislature there's a House
bill called House Bill five, which is called the Safer Kentucky Act, and
it passed overwhelmingly in the House of the House of Representatives, and it's over
in the Senate right now. And it's this pretty tough crime sweeping bill,
lots of penalties for like as similar to like a three strike rule charge,
stick strict stricter charges for fentanel. They're really enhancing shopkeepers privileges and rights which
you know, the shopkeeper to protect themselves, to get some criminal immunity.
If they're you know, the victim of a crime, they can actually stand
up and protect standard and protect what's theirs. And that's the kind of mentality
we have over here in Kentucky. For the most part. You have your
exceptions, and where you can get to larger metropolitan like Louisville, they've used
things a little differently, obviously, but that's neither here nor there. Generally,
as a rule of thumb, Kentuckians don't tolerate that kind of behavior,
and as we shouldn't, you know, And that's why we're hesitant across the
river. You know, all the jokes about people afraid to cross the river
going to the downtown. They don't want to drive across the river to Cincinnati
from Kentucky and vice versa. But I mean, who can blame them when
when you turn I mean when you turn on the news and you're always seeing
a beating what appears to be a senseless beating. You know that we don't
know if it's connected or whatever. But just when you're watching the news,
why am I going to go downtown and spend my money down there and look
walk around and hope I don't get hit or robbed? And when I can
just stay over here and feel a lot safer, and people are gonna go
where they feel safe, it's unfortunate for everybody involved, the victim, to
the business owners, to the police. I mean, the police are there.
They do a heck of a job, but their hands are tied and
certain things that they can and can't do. You know, what happened in
this case is that they had all the head of the union, Ken Kober
said that the juveniles were released by Judge Carrie Bloom before their paperwork was done.
In other words, it was a situation where and they're saying that these
guys are out already and they treated someone's head like a soccer ball and got
no bond or a easy bond you can make, and they were literally out
back on the streets before the paperwork was done. And it's like, well,
we can't have that now. Secondly, you got the medical marijuana situation
in Kentucky. I know, I know the prosecutor of Kenton County, Sanders,
is not too happy about the marijuana from Ohio coming into Kentucky, vice
versa. But where do you stand on medical marijuana in Kentucky. Marijuana passed
last year in Kentucky, but it won't go effect until January of twenty twenty
five, and there's a lot of strings with it. There's a lot of
exclusions, like you know, you know, you used to make jokes from
the medical marijuana far Star're getting past that. You go to the doctor with
a with a headache or this or that and the other and they give it
to you. But from the way the law read, it's pretty strict,
like muscle spasms, nausea, post traumatic stresses order, things like that.
You can't get a medical marijuana card four You had to have stage four cancer
beyond to get a medical marijuana card in Kentucky. With the current legislation.
I'm not a medical expert and I've never lived in the state with marijuana,
so but to see how it plays out. But I think the way the
law was written, at least from a Kentucky perspective, there's a lot of
states guards against abuse assuming everyone follows the rules and does what they're supposed to
do. You know, Kentucky borders. I know Illinois has recreational marijuana,
which borders us in the West Ohio. You know you're watching news with that
so now and no borders is in the north. So it's becoming you know,
you're seeing it more and more pop up, and it's gonna be tough
to keep it out if you want to keep it out. So do you
try to keep it out or do you try to make it as safe as
possible? And that's the condundrum you're faced with, right you know, you
hear everything about these fentanyl over doses and everything else. Well, the argument
for pro marijuana is, well, you control the quality and the health grading.
You don't have the fentanyl overdoses with it, which relieves death and human
life lost and also released strandom medical system. If you get someone that becomes
addicted to fentanyl because they're buying marijuana from god knows where. I'm not saying
that's a good reason to pass it, it is something to be considered this
year. One of the northern Kentucky state Reps, Rachel Roberts, who's over
in Campbell County, she filed House Bill four twenty. If you can appreciate
that irony for recreational marijuana use. Now, I don't know if that's going
to get legs or go anywhere. I know it's in committees, but it's
been filed and the talks are being had. You know, there's what twenty
five thirty states that have already passed some for marijuana legislation. So it's not
a I think it's not a matter if it's a matter of wind, it's
coming to a city near you, is how It just seems to be trending.
Yeah, and the other nineteen twenties were right, go ahead. The
nineteen twenties was modern day was prohibition for alcohol. It was every it was
illegal, but everyone did it. It was socially acceptable to a lot of
folks, not everybody, but it happened. It was rampant, and and
the argument now is the twenty twenties is modern day prohibition against marijuana, and
as a big belief that the federal government's going to come in one day and
pass legislation if they can never figure out how to quit arguing with each other.
I guess that's impossible. Who knows that's impossible. But at this point,
medical marijuana is going to be I'm a reality in Kentucky starting next year,
and then the expansion thereof will probably happen thereafter. I didn't think,
uh, in Kentucky there would ever be casino type gambling because of all the
objections. And you have the racinos now, which is a step in that
progress, you know. And yes, and whether you whether you indulge in
it or not, that's a different conversation. You know, that's that's your
choice. It's not like you're going to be forced at gunpoint to go to
the casino and put your money in there. You know, there's the argument
for the tax revenue and whatnot is there, so you know that's uh,
there's a lot of strong arguments on both sides of those issues. But if
it's coming in everywhere around you, you want to have it here where you
can control, uh, and I controls it where you can set boundaries that
are acceptable for your community, or do you want them going somewhere else and
being subject to different rules and regulations. And so those are both pro and
con arguments on all those issues, you know. But I do think I've
always to Kentucky be one of the last. And Mark Twain said when the
world ends to Kentucky, we're seven years behind. So yeah, you got
a lot of that going on too. But I don't think the recreational marijuana,
from just my pulse on being a Kentucky and is going to go anywhere
now. But the fact that the conversation's being had, you know, that
tells me the times are shifting and it's not an if. It's a win,
and I think it's what other side of the issue on you probably realize
that, Jesse BurrH, thanks for coming on. I want to get a
suburbanites perspective. You don't consider yourself a suburbanite. You're in hag Heaven right
there in Boone County, and you can avoid the city of Cincinnati. But
there's so many other things you can do in northern Kentucky or in the Westchester
area, Mason, that you can simply don't have to come downtown. And
this is not systemic. What it is is one or two judges and juvenile
court have a restorative justice viewpoint and they're imposing that upon us, which has
not happened before. And we'll continue the communication. Jesse Burger, once again,
thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. When I get old

During the course of being vice president, have many situations where it becomes
clear to me that there are, you know, people of every age and
gender, by the way, who see something about being the first that lets
them know they don't need to be limited by other people's limited understanding of who
can do what? Do you understand the worst that are coming out of my
mouth. Hello, by it, I'm broadcasting, and I have been fortunate
and blessed. During the course of being Vice president, have many situations where
it becomes clear to me that there are, you know, people of every
agent and gender, by the way, who see something about being the first
that lets them know they don't need to be limited by other people's limited understanding
of who can do? What? Do you understand the words that are coming
out of my mouth? Off, Harry pardiche are we we said? Off?
There? I said, when you walked down, what did I say?
We're in trouble? And I say it every day I walk in.
But we're in trouble. We're in trouble because we have criminals in New York
City caught on camera on camera, it's not like he said, she said,
beating up cops let him out, no bond and they get double bird
the cameras and everybody on the way out. Is it to say, yeah,
what are you gonna do? The answer is nothing. Now. One
cop is in hospital with traumatic brain injury. His head was treated like a
soccer ball and kicked by illegal immigrants, and he's flipping the bird as he
comes out with his Milen snicker laughing, and you know, pick him up
right that point, ship him back. He's from I think Honduras and said
you're out of here. Let him swim back, swim. I'm shocked that
that's the policy that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the lie told by your
friends in the media, Rocky that we need the Congress to give me the
power and give me money. Did Trump have the Congress give him money to
urs you executive orders? He said, shut it down, stay in Mexico,
no more parole the border and all that could be done tomorrow like that.
There's nothing stopping Joe Biden from doing that, nothing stopping him from reinstituting
the Romain in Mexico policy, which clearly worked. Clearly worked. And also
that the compromises five thousand immigrants a day fastest. That that is an extraordinary
amount compared to like three or four years ago. Wasn't a ton a couple
of million a year? Right? What Jay Johnson said, he was nothing
in there for the wall. That is the biggest sham ever being peddled by
the media is that that Donald Trump wants to use this as something to run
on. No build the wall, the pipe, the walls are there,
pick them up, and he was nineteen or twenty something unfinished sections. Finish
those, finish them. But if that's in the bill, then then you
know what Johnson to say, You know me, Johnson to say, Okay,
here's the money. Trump did it without money and it worked. Do
you think it's getting through to the average citizen. I don't. I don't.
Well if you, I mean, if you look at poles, which
you know usually people that take poles are somewhat engaged in the media. That's
the number one issue in the country right now. The number one thing on
the hearts and minds of people is chaos at the southern border. And that's
only part of the problems we have today. There are at least ten thousand
Chinese male nationals inside of our country. And you listen to Christopher Ray yesterday
say that the Chinese have the ability to destroy American society right now because of
cyber problems. Shut down the internet, turn off all the electricity, have
no water, no food, cell phone services dead. That's what the FBI
directors said. How big a story can we say? Some of the effective
the amount of agents they have compared to ours, is fifty to one,
fifty to one in cybersecurity. He said, right now, by sundown today,
we would have no electricity, we'd have no traffic lights, we'd have
no ability to use a phone, we'd have no water. And they can
do that tonight to us, what's stopping them? That's a bigger question.
When they invade Taiwan and they turn on and put us out of business for
months or years. You can get your rations ready, say I'll be up
in the pod underneath the transmitter. I'm going. You got to you got
to take Rachel. That's a different Jen Motley, Jen Motley, Yeah,
but that's a different story. Don't you understand that work? What three kids?
What do you do? You have no electricity, you have no communication,
have no power, and then they blow up ten thousand bridges, Brent
Spence Bridge, blown up two seventy five bridge gone all over the country and
Biden allowed that to happen, and we got to do something. Well,
we need the Speaker of the House to give me the money. Trump didn't
need the money. Don't. But does the media report that, No,
absolutely not. It's the biggest live being peddled by the media today, is
that what you wants to use that as a well, yeah, but he
wants to use that as an issue to run on. No, because what
he knows is that if he does go along with it, he'll get a
praise, A bunch of praise will get put on Biden for doing was essentially
absolutely nothing. So yeah, of course he wouldn't want to be four or
something like that. Half measures and Biden don't know what's going on. Those
around him, the Marxists left over or some of Thebiben from the Obama administration,
they're the ones making decisions because Joe Biden doesn't read. You can't read
a teleprompter, much less of presidential daily briefing. He's not reading. Did
you see the latest with James O'Keefe and the project of airtos or he has
the cybersecurity chief on on on camera. Charlie Kraiger essentially said everyone administration knows
Biden is severely mentally diminished. They want to get rid of Kamala Harris,
but they can't. Well, Michelle Obama solves that problem. But he said
that Michelle Obama has absolute zero and blamer exactly. Well, we have a
president who's mentally and physically incompetent, not being the president, but the media
wants to if it isn't Trump, sex or race, there's no story in
the country. It doesn't exist. He in impeted on them swinging back.
Do do you think the average person, even if they're not that connected to
the media and what's going on, is like, this is, this is
bs, this is I feel like it is. I feel like that.
I feel like the the attitude towards illegal immigration has totally swum. People are
like, these cities they can't handle one of these people. And then all
the sanctuary cities that claim to love this stuff the minute, which I couldn't
love anymore. When Abbott, the Texas governor, sends the migrants to like
Martha's Vineyard or Chicago or New York City and then they say they don't want
me. It's the thing in the world they say, you want them,
here they are And that's the tip of what It warms. My heart goes
ten times those numbers. In other words, in the next few years,
if if Michelle Obama, Barack Hussein Obama's whoever takes over, and if Trump
loses, guess what what we're seeing now is just the beginning. This doesn't
end when you have fifty thousand illegal immigrants in Denver and the hospital systems are
shutting down, school system, school system is shutting down, and that's the
tip of the iceberg. It's gonna get worse. And say, just pray
them and fight in shape when it all goes down, Pray them and fight
in shape. So give me some sports. I'm getting impressed. Will he

Rock. You may be there when I make my great speech on Red's opening
day. I'm gonna use reverse psychology. I picked the Reds since nineteen ninety
one and all my speeches to win it all correct. I then turned for
Detroit Allions to beat San Francisco. How'd that work out? Not good?
I picked Buffalo to beat Kansas City. How'd that work out? Not good?
I picked, of course, you see to win at West Virginia.
I picked Xavier to beat Connecticut. I beat Tony was right when he called
in when he was coming back from the divisional game. He was saying drunk.
He said that you are to blame because every time you jump on the
bandwagon and support a team and predict glory, the opposite happens. So how
about this, What if I picked the Dodgers to win the World Series?
Pick the Dodgers to win the World Series, the Reds to finish last last,
And I think another thing would help, just little advice if you actually
finish your pregame speech before Red's opening day. Because the last three years,
last three years, you've only got to nineteen seventy six, well cut some
of it out. We haven't even got to the nineteen ninety series. Thank
you. I picked up to win the World Series war to war that year.
Had that work out pretty good? But since then, I mean,
that was a long time ago, been right, I was ten time in
forty years I was ten. It's thirty four years ago. It's been thirty
four years. I've been what I'm saying, I'm just saying. The Washington
Commanders have hired Dallas Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn as their new head coach.
Trend certainly, who wins the Super Bowl next year? Of this year?
This year? Well, I got a story for you here, one story
something about does he know that it could happen? So according to this,
this is all you guys need to know. Lunar patterns. Okay, the
moon, so the so on the day the Super Bowl will be had,
the moon is what is is in what is called waxing crescent. Okay,
and since twenty nineteen, when the Chiefs have played a football game when the
moon is in waxing crescent, they're nineteen and one. There we go,
so or two? It sounds like you do something at home. But how
about this from Las Vegas good friend of mine, Yes, Wayne Allen Rood,
you're ready. I like him. This is this is a liberal for
me. But here's the story. If the Chiefs win the super Bowl on
stage, is the confetti's coming down? I guess, Jim nance you're gonna
have Travis Kell to get down on one knee and pull out a rock the
size of a home city ice block, and Tata will accept the proposal by
Travis Kelcey. There's gonna be a limo going to a chapel and Elvis,
Elvis is himself him, he might actually come back from the dead for that
event. He's gonna marry Travis and Tata about eleven o'clock that night, and
the world will then end as we know it is that exactly. That's one
of the Chinese as you discussed her there shut and that's it. If that,
if she appears on stage with Usher. And because I heard one commentator
say that's racial because there's Usher's moment to shine. So why would Taylor Swift
because of white supremacy and white privilege take the place up Usher? I said,
don't take his place. Just pop out of the stage and do a
little bit of a song. And that's the song and that go back down
like to go crack. At that point, every female from the age of
thirteen to thirty three will just melt on the spot. What happens if he
heads will explode? What did they get engaged on the platform of the confetti.
What what would be tacky if he did that? But the world ends?
Okay, there's a Canadian sportsbook that has actual odds on that. What
Yeah, I told you that yesterday. What odds of getting engaged? Yes,
there's there's You can take a prop bet on will Taylor Swift get engaged
to Travis Kelcey after the game? On? The odds, of course are
not what it is million MAYUS twenty two hundred to plus something. They'll put
up one hundred bucks on that for twenty two hundred. I want to each
of us do it? Segent whant to put up a hunt? Why not?
Let's go if that happens? Oh my god. And women love this,
don't they? How much money has Taylor provided to the NFL and three
hundred and thirty one point one million dollars? What? Yes, just in
advertising and interests. Yeah, because this is being seen the casual to an
NFL fan who doesn't couldn't name any of the NFL teams, knows the Taylor
Swift is and things. Treis Kelsey's cute. So they turned the game on
for a minute and I made and I was taken a task by some for
it. But in the history of American music. Give me a band,

have more records, sares, more downloads, more, more impressions than any
one in the history of the world. Yeah, but there's also there's more
people in the country now than there was. You don't think Taylor mount Rushmore.
I know, I think she is. I'm agreeing with your argument that
she is one of the top of all time? Is she the Tom Brady
of music? Eddie yesterday, who knows everything about music, said she is
not seg What do you say, I mean, nobody knows music better than
the I had, Frank, I had, Elvis Presley, Alice Presley had
a long career of her spanned a couple of days. Darth Brooks the same
thing, American music, and then Michael Jackson, Now Michael Jackson, that's
who do you take off to put Tata? Take off Frank take Garth Brooks
out if you wanted Japan, And they asked one hundred people, who's Garth
Brooks. I don't think they would know, but they would know Taylor Squad.
I want to Taiwan. If you want to bombay India, people would
know India. They would not know. She could sell out Russia and she's
singing in English and they don't understand any word of it, and they think
it's the greatest thing ever. But Garths Brooks is off the mountain rushmore for
for Taylor, Yes, say give me some more sports about it. Willy
oh Well, George Straight, He's sold a ton of albums. Artists of
the decade, fifty number one singles, something like that. Johnny Cash.
I don't know, but I think we're watching something. She's thirty four,
donet drink, done smoke, doesn't use drugs. We don't think she's got
another ten to fifteen year run. He'll be for forty years. Joe sell
trillions and brilliants trillions, and Travis Kelsey will be right there by her side.
Is he gonna play football next year? If he's not? If they
win it now, I don't. I don't. If he went Andy Reid,
isn't he gone? Bill Belichick? Oh yeah, yeah, maybe talk
about that. I think Kelsey may hang it up a f this win or
lose, because because if you lose, then you're like, there's no way.
I mean, it's so hard to get to that point to say,
mister Taylor Swift from now on, could you become some woman's mister Taylor Swift?
Depends on who the woman is. No, the politics would get to
you win it. Yeah, she is a liberal, very much aggressive.
Yea. If she endorses to Biden, is it over for Trump? No?
Absolutely not. Sake, I don't know what to tell you. What's
