WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.720 --> 00:00:05.559 All right, Billy cunning in the Great American Reds Baseball postponed to August at 2 00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:09.679 thirtieth, at twelve forty. Information on the Reds website about how if you 3 00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.800 want to see some other game during the season, that's certainly possible. That'll 4 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.800 be a twilight doubleheader with the Brewers the end of August. And we move 5 00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:22.719 on from there, and uh, we have later on income tax expert coming 6 00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:26.280 up. I know mo Iger pay pays lots of money income taxes. He 7 00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:30.399 wants to know where does he fit on the on the schedules. Moe Eggar, 8 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:32.920 Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Mo how are you? 9 00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:36.320 I'm doing great, Bill, how are you good? I want to get 10 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.560 your remembrances of one O. J. Simpson and so much more. As 11 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.679 you know, I had one brief running with OJ Simpson with my golfing friends 12 00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.960 and was there for the verdict is this. I'm watching the national news left 13 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.960 and right. It's the lead story everywhere. OJ Simpson dead at the age 14 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:57.119 of seventy six head prostate cancer. Your remembrances of O. J. Simpson? 15 00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.920 He killed two people, comprehensible human being. He beat his wife and 16 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.079 then he killed her and then he killed Ron Goldman, and the jury may 17 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:12.719 say otherwise. But as someone who sides with common sense, I think the 18 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:17.519 world is free of one less murderer. I understand he was an iconic football 19 00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:21.640 player. I don't care. As far as I'm concerned, the world is 20 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:25.239 free of one less reprehensible human being. O. J. Simpson was a 21 00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:32.519 reprehensible human being unless they profoundly accepted responsibilities for what he did and made things 22 00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.799 right with God Ol Mahdi. He's riding in hell in hell as I speak, 23 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.560 one incident mode. You want to hear my run in with OJ Simpson. 24 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:45.719 Absolutely. It was the late nineteen nineties and I was at the rub 25 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:51.079 In the Emerald Esper Major in the Bahamas. It was a flight from Cincinnati 26 00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:55.239 right to Freeport. It was wonderful. I was with the great Bartosik also 27 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.680 known as Mike Bartosic, as you might know, was a tied end for 28 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:01.680 what he hayes five, about two hundred and fifty pounds. I was with 29 00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:06.519 Mike McCall, a great Xavier basketball player six foot six, you know, 30 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.520 Mike about two hundred and thirty pounds. And Wayne Carucci, who was an 31 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.719 MMA boxer now owns a trucking company, so we worried. The four of 32 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.639 us are down there and we'll go up to number one t on the Emerald. 33 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.280 And we're sitting there and I'm getting the scorecard together. They get strokes, 34 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.800 who gets strokes? What's your handicapped? And I could send somebody pulled 35 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:27.439 up a foot for me. I'm driving the cart right next to me. 36 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.639 Now I look over and there's O. J. Simpson by himself in the 37 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:37.879 cart about three feet. And I spent the last five years of my life 38 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.280 talking about Johnny Cochran and about Nicole, and about Ron Goldman, about the 39 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.560 knife. I was there for the verdict because the Reds were playing the Dodgers 40 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.120 at Chavez Ravine in the playoff game nineteen ninety five. I was with the 41 00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.560 Yidman and Kevin Christopher and Segment and wild Man Walker. We were covering the 42 00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:59.520 Reds and I look, I said, Juice, and he reaches his hand 43 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.120 and he said, but how you doing man? I said, I'm doing 44 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:05.199 well. He said you got four and I said, yeah, how many 45 00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.919 of you guys? He said we only have three? And they were behind 46 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:09.840 this and I said, well, why don't you guys go ahead. So 47 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.599 he pulls about twenty feet away from me, gets out of the cart. 48 00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:16.199 He's shaking the hands of the Great Bartosi, and he shaking the hands of 49 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.560 Mike McCall and Wayne Carucci. And he's two playing partners. Whore they are. 50 00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.560 Those guys are huge too. And I'm sitting there watching this scene, 51 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.280 and I'm getting more and more pissed off. I'm thinking, here's this guy 52 00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:32.360 that just beat his wife almost to death, repeatedly abused her, hurt her, 53 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:39.000 and then slices her, decapitates her and Ron Goldman because he thought she 54 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:42.599 was dating some other guy. And I can only assume he thought the other 55 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.120 guy was Ron Goldman, who neither party knew. And so I'm watching this 56 00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.240 for five or ten minutes. There could not been a guy with more personality 57 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.439 and more of effervescent other people from the Punting Green would come over. O 58 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.680 JJ jews, she's getting pictures taken. I said, this is ridiculous. 59 00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:01.319 So, because I was with these other three guys, I walked up to 60 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.080 him and I said, Juice, by the way, who'd you kill first? 61 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:10.400 Because I think you probably you probably stabbed Ron Goldman and incapacitated this guy. 62 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:14.280 And I've had on Ron Goldman's father who wrote a book, A Wonderful 63 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:17.920 Man, and also his attorney, Ron Goldman's attorney, and then Nicole. 64 00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:23.399 And because I think you had the larger mail, it was dark. It 65 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:25.800 was a greton, the green. You had to kill her first, and 66 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:28.560 then you knew you could always handle the cole because she was a woman. 67 00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:33.160 And suddenly he went from joyous and happy, called me every rotten mf name 68 00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.920 of the book, and got on the t and went on. And Mike 69 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.959 McCall says to me, we better let those guys get a whole ahead of 70 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:45.199 us, and I said, and so they're laughing, And so we made 71 00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.120 sure we stayed well back. A few hours go by, we finish up 72 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.680 with golf, and they had a nice little casino there. We used to 73 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:55.040 go down to March and ben on the baskets and I'm at the bar with 74 00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.720 my guys, and I can see Oj about thirty yards away holding court at 75 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:04.240 the end to the bar, and he's with beautiful women. Everyone there wanted 76 00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:08.959 to and Wayne Crouch he says to me, Willie, you better get the 77 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.040 hell out of here. I said, no, no, crap, said 78 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.279 he might have a knife on him. So I slowly slinked my way off 79 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.680 to the side, went back to my room, double locked the door, 80 00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:25.439 and stayed there. That's my that's my brush with greatness. Smart man. 81 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:31.519 You know, as a singular cultural event, I'm not sure we've had anything 82 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:38.480 over the last thirty years like the Bronco Chase June seventeenth, nineteen ninety four, 83 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:44.040 running concurrent with Game five of the NBA Finals. We do sometimes, 84 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.600 you know, topics like the events that you wish Twitter would have been around 85 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.560 for, social media would have been around for, And there's a few of 86 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:55.639 them, but number one for me is always the Ojsipson Bronco Chase. You 87 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.399 ask anybody, and obviously if you're you know, thirty years old or thirty 88 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.399 five years old or younger, you have no recollection of this. I was 89 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.680 just wrapping up my junior year in high school. I could tell you what 90 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:10.439 I was doing, who I was with, what jokes were being made, 91 00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.839 what we were all thinking, and then what the fifteen months later, sixteen 92 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:19.319 months later, October third, nineteen ninety five, my eighteenth birthday, the 93 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:25.319 OJ Simpson Verdict. I don't know that we have had anything since that has 94 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.000 frozen the country. We've obviously had huge news stories, lots of things have 95 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.439 happened in politics, but at whatever time that was, I think it was 96 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:39.680 right around nine o'clock am Pacific time, so noon year, the country froze 97 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.920 to listen to a verdict, and then obviously we had the aftermath of it. 98 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.120 I don't know that there's been two singular events like that over the last 99 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:54.120 three decades, and so I certainly do remember that entire ordeal, that entire 100 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.839 trial. I remember all the characters that emerged, Kato Kalin, Judge, 101 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:06.680 Edo, Marsha kl There have been some The ESPN five part documentary that came 102 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:12.279 out in twenty fifteen was terrific. The FX mini series was really well done, 103 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.839 and obviously, as a sports guy, there's a sports component here. 104 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:20.160 But I just my first thought was when I saw the news this morning, 105 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:26.120 is the world is free of one left killer? Because you cannot convince me. 106 00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:30.720 I followed that trial obsessively. You cannot convince me that he didn't kill 107 00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.360 those two people. And you know, I read that he was surrounded by 108 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:39.279 his children and his grandchildren, and my first thought was he was surrounded by 109 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.759 children whose mother he killed. And there might be people who objected me saying, 110 00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.199 then I don't care. I think he was a murderer. I think 111 00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.279 he was an awful human being. And he is if you believe his I 112 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:54.759 do. He is rotting in hell right now. The verdict we're out there 113 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:57.800 for three or four days, the yid Man and I and Kevin christenpher and 114 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.040 Sagan and wild Man was announced that night. The verdict would be the next 115 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.319 day at the La Criminal Courts building, which was like a ten block walk 116 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.920 from where we were staying. I say to the yid Man, why don't 117 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:15.319 we go over there see what happens. So we put our REDS credentials around 118 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.519 our neck and they allowed the media to get real close to the entryway of 119 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:22.120 the LA County Courthouse. I don't know, I don't know if you ever 120 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:26.000 if you've ever been there, but there's like a slight little bridge, and 121 00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.839 there's three stories below the bridge. You can look down and see three stories 122 00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:33.279 of the building and seven stories straight up. And so we used our REDS 123 00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:39.360 credential to get into the media part and Steve Garvey shows up, who's La 124 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:45.679 Dodger's first baseman, with his beautiful wife, and they got donuts. They're 125 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:46.960 handing out donuts to the media. I took it. I said, hey, 126 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.600 Steve, I'll take a donut. So we're waiting and across the street 127 00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:58.200 we're twenty four well armed cops on these large horses and they had the heads 128 00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:03.879 of the horses and sides with armor on the horses. Behind those behind that 129 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.879 barrier was like a thousand supporters of OJ Simpson and they got a free juice, 130 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.840 free juice, you know all that stuff. We wait at about an 131 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:13.200 hour, meeting a dona. Here comes Steve Garby, Here comes some other 132 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:16.519 celebrities, some movie stars, and they walk into the court to the court 133 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.440 house, and we stood outside with the media, and this one cop says 134 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.360 to us. He say, hey, look, you guys in the media. 135 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.480 If this verdict is guilty and those thousand people come this way, you 136 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.799 have nowhere to go. And I'm looking behind me. This a fence and 137 00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:37.360 behind me is thirty feet straight down. He said, you can't go forward, 138 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.639 that's where the mob's going to be. You can't go backwards. You 139 00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.200 might think about leaving. So I say to the yidd men were here, 140 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.039 Let's see what happens. And I said, if necessary we can run into 141 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.039 the courthouse or maybe I don't know what to do. So they had the 142 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:56.399 loud speakers out. He's found not guilty, and suddenly in downtown Los Angeles 143 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:01.039 there was a party breakout. There was singing and dancing and and uh line 144 00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.919 dancing and and the and the cops were happy because they couldn't deal with that 145 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.559 crowd. There was too many of them. And then later that day we 146 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:11.639 went out to that Messaluna restaurant where Ron Goldman worked, made their way over 147 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:16.480 to Rockingham where OJ lived, and UH got a taxi about three blocks away, 148 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:20.799 walked in there, and the jurors in his case, the actual juror 149 00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.960 members in OJ Simpson's murder case, were being escorted into his house by the 150 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:31.080 police. The jurors of the They went to his house to party with OJ 151 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.799 that night, and I'm thinking, what the hell? And now they've knocked 152 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:39.440 down, you know, the three ten Rockingham has been knocked down. And 153 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:45.639 Uh. Then later he was indicted in Las Vegas for some BS charges about 154 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:48.360 Memorabiley. He served like eleven years in jail. That was justice. He 155 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:54.600 was sued and his pension was not attachable, and he sold his Heisman Trophy. 156 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:56.279 He was held in contempt for that, and we move on. But 157 00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.399 as you say, there's no cultural event at least the last forty or fifty 158 00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.320 years, because it went on for years and continues to go on until today. 159 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.120 But O J. Simpson is dead and may he rot in hell. 160 00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:11.600 Now. Secondly, I didn't want to talk to you about O. J. 161 00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.879 Simpson at all. But do you want to feel you're going to segue 162 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.639 to the Reds, aren't you? Hunter Green? Okay? Do you want 163 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.080 to feel depressed? So you were in Los Angeles for the OJ verdict? 164 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:28.360 You were there because the Reds were in Los Angeles. That series is the 165 00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.000 last time the Reds advanced in the postseason. I think they swept the Dodgers, 166 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:35.480 didn't They win four straight, beat them three straight backs out of five. 167 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:37.279 Yeah. Yeah. They beat him one games one and two out there 168 00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.639 and then beat him here eleven to one. Body Mark Lewis Grand Slam in 169 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:45.279 Game three. If somebody had told me in nineteen ninety five in October that's 170 00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.399 the last time to reach and win a postseason series, I would have said 171 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.120 that's impossible. Because the Reds of seventy five, seventy six and ninety. 172 00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:56.559 They won twenty percent of all World Series games between nineteen seven of World Series 173 00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:01.799 rings between seventy five and nineteen ninety. Even today, they have a nine 174 00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.480 game winning streak in the World Series. They won the last game of seventy 175 00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.279 five and then swept the Yankees and swept the bash Boys. They got a 176 00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.639 nine game winning streak now six years, fifty three million dollars for one hundred 177 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.360 Green and I kind of know what's wrong with him. But the problem is 178 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.399 he doesn't look like Bob Gibson. He looks like Ronnie Gibson. He can't 179 00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.120 pitch, he can't win. Has he won two games in a row the 180 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:28.840 past three years? I would think not. What's wrong with Hunter Green. 181 00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.440 He's not reliable. He is uber talented, he has an electric arm. 182 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.279 I don't know if he doesn't trust his secondary pitches. I don't know if 183 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:43.600 he has yet to perfect his secondary pitches. But I see a thrower, 184 00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.120 not a pitcher. And look, there are moments where he can panalize. 185 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.919 Right. He pitched very well last Friday in a game the Red loss against 186 00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.919 the New York Mets. But what he hasn't been able to do on a 187 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.679 consistent basis is take one start and make it two consecutive starts, and then 188 00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:03.639 making it three consecutive starts and then making it, you know, five good 189 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:07.639 starts out of six. And that's until he's able to do that. To 190 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.919 me, that the label that he has to wear is unreliable. You don't 191 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:16.919 know what you're going to get. You cannot count on him, And I 192 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.440 would, I would, I would buy stock and Hunter Greens from the standpoint, 193 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.960 and I think he'll get there at some point. But if the idea 194 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:28.720 for the twenty twenty four Reds is to to get to the postseason and advance 195 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.080 in the postseason, that can't happen without better, consistent, more reliable starting 196 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.159 pitching. And they're not going to get better, more consistent, reliable starting 197 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:43.480 pitching if Hunter Green maintains a lack of reliability. Has he given any indications 198 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:48.679 the past three seasons he's reliable. No. Now again, there are flashes. 199 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:52.399 I mean, he had a game last September against the Minnesota Twins. 200 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:54.720 He struck out fourteen guys and seven I think it's most strikeouts by any Reds 201 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:58.120 pitcher in the game since two thousand. He had the game against Pittsburgh in 202 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.440 twenty twenty to where he threw an eight inning no hitter. He took a 203 00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:05.200 no hitter into the sixth inning in the game last year against the Mets, 204 00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:07.720 and again this past Friday. I thought he looked as locked in as I've 205 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:13.240 seen him. But you know, most pitchers can do things like that in 206 00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:18.240 a window, and in fact, they can do that occasionally. Hunter Green 207 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.440 was drafted in twenty seventeen with the idea that he would be a guy that 208 00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.639 could give you that on you know, a twenty five twenty six time a 209 00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.720 year basis, where you give the ball to him and you feel like, 210 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.559 you know what, we're winning tonight because Hunter Green's on the mount. That's 211 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:35.559 when an ace is to me, right, no matter what happened the day 212 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.200 before, no matter what's going on with your team, we're giving the ball 213 00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.759 to this guy. We are winning tonight. When Hunter Green gets the ball, 214 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.360 your gas is as good as mine. As what you're gonna get. 215 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.799 You may get a very good start. He certainly has had a boatload of 216 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:52.879 them. You may get a start like last night where it looks like he's 217 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.840 throwing batting practice. You might get a start like we've seen before where it 218 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:00.519 takes him, you know, one hundred pitches to get through four four plus 219 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:03.879 innings. You don't know what you're going to get. And until you have 220 00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.600 a general idea of what a hundred green starter is going to look like, 221 00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.840 I think the skepticism that he has brought on is going to continue, and 222 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:16.919 it's setified. He's only twenty four years old, but he's an old twenty 223 00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.919 four And you know, last night I'm watching Wade Miley. Deal had not 224 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.840 even half the stuff of Hunter Green. Wade Miley former Red look pretty damn 225 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:28.960 good. Only pitch four innings been hurt. But I said, that guy's 226 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.559 pretty good. Plus it wouldn't have cost fifty three million dollars. His era 227 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.159 now is a four point eighty six and his whip, you know, I 228 00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:39.440 live and die with whip when it comes to pitching, which is walks and 229 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:41.919 hits per inning. His whip is one point two. So every inning, 230 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.120 over six innings, they're gonna have nine base runners. And his problem is 231 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.960 location and movement. And you can throw ninety nine right down the middle of 232 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.159 the plate. I don't care that ball is going going north in a hurry. 233 00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.200 Why can't the reds get some movement, and why can't he get rid 234 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:04.200 of the location over the middle of the plight. Yeah, look, I 235 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.159 mean I don't know that I've put that on the red. At some point 236 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:12.399 he's gonna have to develop secondary pitches that compliment the fastball, and if the 237 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:18.879 fastball is not moving, it's gonna amplify the lack of other pitches in his 238 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.039 arsenal. You know, this spring we read a lot about how he was 239 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.039 learning a split singer fastball, and he was perfecting his curve ball, and 240 00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:27.320 last spring it was, well, he's working on a change up. All 241 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.919 of that is great. I don't know if he trusts those pitches enough to 242 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:36.720 throw them in dig count. And you're right, his fastball, boy, 243 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.200 its straight is an arrow sometimes, and big league hitters are going to tee 244 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:44.039 off on that. Now. Look, last night was either his forty eighth 245 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.639 or forty ninth big league start, which is basically a season and a half 246 00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:51.080 worth of major league starts. He was held back by the fact that he 247 00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.840 didn't pitch in competitive situations in the kovid year of twenty twenty. He did 248 00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.399 have Tommy John surgery, and so yeah, he's an old twenty four, 249 00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:02.879 but he has appeared and left and fifty big league games at the same time. 250 00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:07.680 You know, these many starts in we're saying the same things about Hunter 251 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.720 Green that we were saying in his first collection of starts. We're waiting to 252 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.960 see it on a consistent basis, and if we don't this year, then 253 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:18.559 you have a hard time convincing me that this staff as a whole can be 254 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.640 as good as it's needed to be for this team to be as good as 255 00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:25.599 we hope it is. I think you said, or maybe it might have 256 00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:27.599 been Lance, that this team is going to go as far this year as 257 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:33.119 Hunter Green will take it. Is that true? I think they're going to 258 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:34.759 go as far as their young guys are going to take it, and Hunter 259 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:40.079 Green as they're arguably their most prominent young guy. Now, you could extend 260 00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:44.279 that to other pictures on the bat. You could extend that to guys like 261 00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:47.279 Ellie de la Cruz, who is certainly swinging the back pretty well right now, 262 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:49.720 players like Christian and Karnassi Astream, who has gone through his struggles. 263 00:17:51.319 --> 00:17:55.279 What the Reds are trying to do is really hard. They're trying to win 264 00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:59.720 this year and improve upon what they did last season, while they have a 265 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.440 players who are still developing. Youth, as you know, Willie is unpredictable, 266 00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:10.200 youth is unreliable. This is one of the youngest teams in the sport. 267 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.480 They have a lot of guys. Hunter Green is obviously not among them, 268 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.279 but they have a lot of guys who a year ago were not playing 269 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.400 at the big league level, and so what they're trying to do is not 270 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.039 easy. I'm not giving them an excuse. It's just it's a fact. 271 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.240 You have a lot of guys who are developing, and you're trying to win 272 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.480 with those players who are developing. Hunter Green has certainly included on that list 273 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.400 of guys that you could say that about, and and and again. You 274 00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:38.119 know, in two or three years, if if we're still talking about, 275 00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.400 you know, so many of these guys not being players you can count on, 276 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:44.920 and what the Reds are doing right now will prove to be a failure. 277 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.720 I think long term that's not going to happen. I think in the 278 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.799 short term we're probably in for some high points, probably in for some moments 279 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:56.319 like last night with a young guy frustrating. Lastly, I had a couple 280 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:02.720 of interviews with Ron Goldman's father, freend and Fred Goldman. The dad said 281 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.160 no, Dad could have a better son. And that relates me to Uh, 282 00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.640 We're at the mezzaluna with me and the wild Man, and the wild 283 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.680 Man wanted some chili or beef vegetable soup. So the wild Man, dressed 284 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:15.759 in his shorts and his T shirt and his goofy looking hat and a beard, 285 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:19.640 said to the server, what kind of soup do you have? She 286 00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:23.480 said, well, we have pureaide carrot soup. And he says, what's 287 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:27.279 that? I said, wild Man, you know what pure eade carrot soup. 288 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.519 And she almost had a tear in her eye, and I said, 289 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:33.240 what's wrong? She said, we all miss Ron. He was a good 290 00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:36.720 guy. And so when I think about OJ Simpson dying today, I hope 291 00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:38.480 it was a long, lingering death. I hope he was in a lot 292 00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:41.720 of pain, because he calls quite a bit of pain to many people in 293 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.799 his living years. All right, uh, Moeger, thank you for your 294 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.880 analysis. We'll do it again. It hurts me that you have spent more 295 00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:52.920 time hanging out with wild Man Walker than you sent hanging that with me. 296 00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:59.519 Let's continue with more the line becomes available five, one, three, seven, 297 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.119 four, nine, seven thousand, Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred WLW. 298 00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:11.480 Listening to a man's skinny dippin' a pond isn't funny. Listening to him 299 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:18.319 as he discovers the pond is full of snapping turtles is funny. Eddie and 300 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.400 Rocky are also funny. So when you think of a man getting his bits 301 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:29.839 nowd y a snapper, think of Eddie and Rocky.

This afternoon wasn't scheduled to be here, but of 313 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.440 course the Reds Baseball was canceled because of the rain. You might know, 314 00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:38.240 it's raining like cats and dogs. And game is scheduled to be played on 315 00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:42.279 August the thirtieth, which is a Friday afternoon at twelve forty part of a 316 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:47.119 twidlight doubleheader against the Brewers. The night game. It's going to be a 317 00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:49.359 great day of baseball, hopefully by that point the game is important. The 318 00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:56.720 game game is relevant. Getting back to OJ Simpson briefly, I think it's 319 00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:03.039 revealed and did not create so many obvious problems in the country that celebrity matters. 320 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.880 And for those who were born after the year two thousand, there was 321 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:12.240 no more beloved character in the National Football League than O. J. Simpson. 322 00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:17.799 First his career at Southern Cow gets the Heisman Trophy. That classic sixty 323 00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:22.920 five yard run to win the Rose Bowl against UCLA was beautiful. He was 324 00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:29.119 physically handsome, He was a man's man and a woman's man. Loved did 325 00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:36.440 commercials constantly for all kinds of companies, writer and also various other entities. 326 00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:41.359 He did commercials for Anabisco, for insurance companies. He was a close friend 327 00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:45.000 of Bob Trumpy who was here. In fact, they were both NBC color 328 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:49.759 analysts that ran around together in the same circles. And he went to Buffalo, 329 00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:55.559 which was god forsaken part of the National Football League and in one season 330 00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:59.359 ran for two thousand yards for the first time, and the kind of wasted 331 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:03.359 his career Buffalo because they didn't do much at all in the National Football League 332 00:23:03.359 --> 00:23:10.039 at that point, and eventually made his way back to San Francisco and continue 333 00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:12.079 to do what he did, which was he was a pitch man. He 334 00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:17.319 was always jumping over things that smile would light up a room, and it 335 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:22.440 was perceived as being for those who weren't close to him, and certainly no 336 00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:25.920 one other than Bob Trumpy I knew was close to who by the way, 337 00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:30.200 Bob Trumpy was shocked when he found out what had happened, and Bob Trumpy 338 00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:33.599 believed from the get go that OJ Simpson killed those people. You cannot explain 339 00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:41.039 away Ron Goldman's blood on the gas and brake pedal of OJ Simpson's vehicle, 340 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.160 a man that he had never met, and the footprints of OJ Simpson at 341 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:49.680 the murder scene. With all that blood matched the blood found in between the 342 00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:56.279 creases of the rubber pedal on OJ Simpson's vehicle, It's impossible that someone could 343 00:23:56.279 --> 00:24:03.319 think to that level to stay some sort of silly crime. And when it 344 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:08.839 came out that the lapd covered for OJ Simpson constantly he beat up Nicole on 345 00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:14.720 a regular basis, leaving bruises and marks and cuts and stitches and broken bones. 346 00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:21.799 He brutalized that woman repeatedly, and mainly dealt with custody of the children. 347 00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:26.119 His philandering got to her. She finally filed for divorce, and then 348 00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:30.599 he wanted to control every aspect of her life thereafter, and when she would 349 00:24:30.839 --> 00:24:33.799 date someone, he would show up brutalize the person she was dating. Just 350 00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:40.720 made her life miserable, absolutely miserable. And on the day of the murder, 351 00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:45.799 Nicole Brown Simpson had gone to the Mess Lunar restaurant for dinner with the 352 00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:51.039 girlfriends, and she was always looking around for OJ because she knew she was 353 00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.160 about to get the crap kicked out of her, and the police would not 354 00:24:53.240 --> 00:25:00.359 help her at all. LAPD would not help Nicole Brown Simpson, so she 355 00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:06.079 either left her glasses there on purpose or by mistake. And Ron Goldman, 356 00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:11.759 who we don't know his motivation to go there to take her sunglasses back to 357 00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:18.720 her home, shows up about nine thirty ten o'clock at night and he's walking 358 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:26.119 into her condo. And I've walked into I've walked there to when wild Man 359 00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.319 and I and the yid Man seg were there. We got close enough to 360 00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.799 Greta Green as the name of the street. It was a narrow little walkway 361 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.240 into the condo. And Ron Goldman unbeknownst to him that O. J. 362 00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:42.759 Simpson was also in that secluded area with a large knife in his hands, 363 00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:49.079 and all Ron Goldman wanted to do was to return the sunglasses to Nicole. 364 00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:53.880 Nicole comes to the door, comes out, and the three of them are 365 00:25:53.880 --> 00:26:00.839 there, and O. J. Simpson slaughtered those two innocent people, basically 366 00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:06.160 decapitating the head of the mother of his children and his ex wife and killing 367 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:08.279 Ron Goldman. I don't know how many I knew at the time. I 368 00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:12.599 was up on it and we're going back almost thirty years. Numerous stab wounds 369 00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:17.359 all over his body. He could not have survived. I'm sure he fought 370 00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:21.359 as much as he could, but it was dark and OJ Simpson was in 371 00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:25.680 a rage. OJ Simpson at that point was still a strong man with a 372 00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:29.880 knife, and he went there with a knife to do what to kill Nicole 373 00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.039 Brown Simpson, and he thought she was having an affair, et cetera. 374 00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:41.640 And from that point on he played the race card wonderfully for the next year 375 00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.000 year and a half until the trial in October. Commenting in October of nineteen 376 00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:52.759 ninety five, and the country split largely along racial grounds because Johnny Cochrane and 377 00:26:52.039 --> 00:27:00.440 his defense team made sure including Kardashian, the father of the famous kardash was 378 00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.640 on the defense team with Flee Bailey. I've had Flee Bailey on a couple 379 00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.720 of times talking about it. And they made a conscious decision to play the 380 00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:11.240 race card because the jury had nine blocks on it and they could not believe 381 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:15.960 that that OJ would have done that, and they ignored all the physical evidence. 382 00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.119 It was. It was ridiculous. Then when O. J. Simpson 383 00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:25.680 tried to put on the glove that was found outside Cato Kalin's bungalow on the 384 00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.559 Simpson property. If it doesn't fit, you must to quit. O. 385 00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:32.960 J. Simpson did not want that glove to fit him, and so he 386 00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:34.640 put his hand in the glove to make it look difficult. He had a 387 00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:37.799 very broad hand that he couldn't get it in. Of course, by that 388 00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.519 point it has shrunk, but that's irrelevant. That jury wanted to find a 389 00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:48.759 reason to find O. J. Simpson not guilty. And so that night 390 00:27:48.079 --> 00:27:53.079 when we go back out to Rockingham and saw the l A. P. 391 00:27:53.279 --> 00:28:00.799 D ushering into the O. J. Simpson estates who wanted to come and 392 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:11.319 party with OJ, it was truly unbelievable. Unbelievable to consider that LAPD Furman 393 00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:17.880 and that and that crew would have worked hard to plant evidence on an innocent 394 00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:22.240 man so that a guilty person would go free. That was totally ridiculous from 395 00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:26.920 the get go. But as soon as it was brought out by Flee Bailey 396 00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:32.880 that Furman had used the N word previously in some of his private conversations on 397 00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:37.319 other cases, that the end word was broadcast all over the place, suddenly 398 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:41.440 that jury just flipped and stead, it's payback, It's payback. For what 399 00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:48.839 happened by LAPD to many other individuals who were treated unfairly by LAPD, and 400 00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:55.039 so that it was payback for so many other nasty offenses that had been committed 401 00:28:55.079 --> 00:29:00.839 by LAPD against the black community in Los Angeles. And that's the name of 402 00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:04.519 that toune and so OJ after that point continued to be a cultural icon, 403 00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:10.119 and a majority of people considered him to be in a sense of hero that 404 00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:15.200 beat the system, beat the man, and who cares if two people were 405 00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.640 killed? Many black activists said they were white people killed anyway, So they 406 00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:25.720 simply ignored the fact that OJ Simpson was a murderer in the vicious ways, 407 00:29:25.759 --> 00:29:30.319 and he concocted evidence to make sure that he would get free. He took 408 00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:34.279 a plane from LA to Minnesota for an appearance, came back, etc. 409 00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:40.279 What happened to a lot of the burglary tools and the murder weapon is still 410 00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:44.799 up to conjecture as to where he dumped it. But nonetheless the physical evidence 411 00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:51.039 wasn't proof beyond a reasonable doubt. It was proof beyond any doubt, and 412 00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:56.359 the country largely has gotten to the idea now of accepting it. Many many 413 00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:59.319 years later, about ten to fifteen years later. You might recall in Las 414 00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:03.559 Vegas he was told that his memorabilia was being sold in some hotel room. 415 00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.559 So he got his crew together and they went to that hotel room. One 416 00:30:07.559 --> 00:30:11.079 of the members of the crew had a gun and they wanted to take back 417 00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:15.559 OJ Simpson's memorabilia. Might have been also his Heisman trophy, not sure, 418 00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:19.440 but game warn jerseys, etc. That were being sold. And when it 419 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:23.960 came out that this occurred and a gun was involved, the Clark County Prosecutor's 420 00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:29.480 office went after Oj with hooks and claws, and he was convicted in front 421 00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:33.799 of a Las Vegas jury of an armed robbery burglary and sought a hotel room 422 00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.440 to regather his memorabilia, and then he spent the next nine to ten years 423 00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:42.599 in Nevada State prison, was finally paroled and wanted to make his way to 424 00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:48.799 Florida and today, at the age of seventy six, he died after a 425 00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:53.359 long fight with prostate cancer. And even in recent interviews a couple of years 426 00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:56.640 ago, he said he was still looking for the real murderer, still looking. 427 00:30:57.200 --> 00:31:03.319 He was trying to find this real murderer in casinos, in brothels and 428 00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:07.400 on golf courses. That's where he was looking. Didn't find him, but 429 00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.599 nonetheless still out there. I would assume that Oj did not repent. There 430 00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:14.759 was no evidence that he did, which means he's riding in hell as I 431 00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:18.720 speak, and may he spend eternity there with other murderers who got away with 432 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:22.880 it. It was a said commentary on our judicial system. Judge etoed lancel 433 00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:26.599 Edo did not run much of a courtroom. He lets stuff in that should 434 00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.200 not have been let in, kept stuff out that should have been into the 435 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.200 case, didn't control the courtroom at all. Got completely out of control of 436 00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:37.200 The trial took my gosh, I don't many months. I don't know. 437 00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:40.359 I'd have to look it up, but it was many, many months because 438 00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:45.240 Judge Eto and the dancing Edos on the Tonight Show, I could not bring 439 00:31:45.319 --> 00:31:49.920 himself to conduct a fair trial. But in front of that jury, with 440 00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:56.160 Johnny Cochrane and with OJ Simpson, I find it hard to believe that that 441 00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:59.200 jury would have convicted him of anything. There could not have been a stronger 442 00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:02.160 case against him ever made. He was the kind of person that would regularly 443 00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:07.480 beat up his wife, be extremely physically and emotionally cruel to her, and 444 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:12.480 then in the end he tried to kill her before and then he finally did 445 00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:16.000 it with that knife, and unfortunately Ron Goldman, wrong place, wrong time, 446 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:20.680 and the rest, shall we say, is history. So let's continue 447 00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:24.079 with more after one o'clock today and after two o'clock today, we have a 448 00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:30.359 couple guests that we've scheduled about the media coverage of Donald Trump and also tax 449 00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:34.160 days coming up, as you know, on Monday, April fifteenth, and 450 00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:37.160 there's a sense among the American people that the rich do not pay their fair 451 00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.640 share. I don't know who the rich are, but my guest will come 452 00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:45.640 in with fact figures and statistics from the Cato Institute about who pays taxes in 453 00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:50.880 this country and who does not pay taxes in this country. I read his 454 00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:57.039 column, and one thing to consider is that the top one percent are Americans, 455 00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:00.759 high income earners that make four hundred thousand dollars a year or more. 456 00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:07.160 That's the top one percent. That money the total money they earn is twenty 457 00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:14.200 six percent of the total money earned, and that of that number, the 458 00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:17.480 top one percent pay forty eight percent of the income tax. Forty eight percent 459 00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:22.319 paid by the top one percent even though the top one percent, people like 460 00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:27.240 segment Dennison, earned a total of twenty six percent of the income, and 461 00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:30.720 the top ten percent, which are those above one hundred and twenty five thousand 462 00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:36.039 dollars a year, the top ten percent pay approximately seventy five percent of the 463 00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:39.279 taxes. And if you take the top fifty percent, which is about eighty 464 00:33:39.319 --> 00:33:45.640 thousand dollars a year, eight if you work about to fifty percent make eighty 465 00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:51.720 thousand or more and fifty percent make eighty thousand or less, that the top 466 00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:57.119 fifty percent paid ninety nine percent of the taxes. I put this message out 467 00:33:57.839 --> 00:34:02.039 in April most years to refute what liberal progressive Democrats say, which is the 468 00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:07.559 rich don't pay their fair share. Without specificity, well, the fair share 469 00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:12.679 ought to be something in the range the top one percent should pay twenty six 470 00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:16.039 percent of the taxes. Because the top one percent make twenty six percent of 471 00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:21.199 the income, that's not the way it works. The top one percent pay 472 00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.920 forty eight percent of the taxes. So we already have a system desired by 473 00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:29.960 the radical left. The problem is not that government doesn't collect enough money from 474 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.480 us. The problem is government spends way too much money, and that would 475 00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:37.880 include Republicans. During the four years of Donald Trump accumulated about a seven and 476 00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:45.159 a half trillion dollar national debt for those four years, and now under Obama 477 00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:49.039 it doubled from when he got into office to when he left. Under Trump 478 00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.800 it went up fifty percent more, and then under Biden has gone up two 479 00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:57.880 trillion dollars a year every year. And so we can't stop spending money. 480 00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:00.679 And if you listen to the State of the Union address, it's obs This 481 00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:04.719 president wants to spend a lot more money, with a lot more government programs, 482 00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:09.360 and tax more people who are the evil rich already pay most of the 483 00:35:09.400 --> 00:35:19.519 taxes anyway. So that's the name of that tone. And we continue to 484 00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:24.000 look upon the reds and Hunter Green as something down the road that can get 485 00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:30.400 better. He's only twenty not quite twenty four years old, and he's got 486 00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:35.400 a six year, fifty three million dollar contract. He's got a million dollar 487 00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:39.159 arm and about a ten cent ability to use that arm for productive purposes. 488 00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:43.440 I thought he was the second coming of Bob Gibson, but I don't think 489 00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:47.760 so. So let's continue with more and later on we have a person that 490 00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:52.719 monitors media coverage. Would you be surprised to learn that about ninety three percent 491 00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:57.639 of the media coverage of Donald Trump is negative. Well, when it comes 492 00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:01.480 to Joe Biden, it's about forty five percent. So the media chooses sides 493 00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:07.000 and they cover Trump completely differently than they cover Biden. By the way, 494 00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:10.199 you may know, Trump's not in office, Joe Biden is the president. 495 00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:15.519 You would think the president would garner a lot of coverage from the mainstream media. 496 00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:19.639 But the mainstream media believes that if they say something nice about Donald Trump, 497 00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:22.159 it's going to hurt their guy, Joe Biden. And that is not 498 00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:25.599 the way things are supposed to work in this great country. Absolutely not. 499 00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:30.239 And for those who say that they're a never Trumper, they can't take it 500 00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:35.480 anymore. They have to. They can't put up with Donald Trump and hiss, 501 00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:39.079 peccadillos, etc. I would say, reconsider, rethink about what you're 502 00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:44.360 going to do, which is keep Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in office, 503 00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:49.559 to continue to borrow money, have a horrible foreign relation policy, open up 504 00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:52.960 the southern border. Hundreds of thousands of Americans dead every year from FANDOL, 505 00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:58.800 and our cities are in complete utter collapse. Our cities are garbage cans without 506 00:36:58.840 --> 00:37:01.960 the handles, and that cannot continue long term. We can't survive. We 507 00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:07.519 cannot survive the way things are now. Vatanela is killing tens of thousands a 508 00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:12.280 year. Ten million legal aliens have streamed across the southern border, a lot 509 00:37:12.320 --> 00:37:15.079 of them, many of them are criminals committing vicious crimes, raping and murdering 510 00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:21.400 Americans right now. And we have relatively sure that a significant number of Chinese 511 00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:28.280 military infiltrators are among us working in these bootleg thousands of marijuana gross sites that 512 00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:31.920 need thousands of new workers. We badly need a new president to go a 513 00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:37.000 completely different direction. And if we don't, our children and grandchildren will pay 514 00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:42.719 well. Let's continue the line becomes available five three, seven, four nine, 515 00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:46.280 seven thousand pounds seven hundred new at and t Reds baseball. Off to 516 00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:51.280 day, but back at it in the next three or four days and they'll 517 00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:55.599 be on the road again. All A News Radio seven hundred WLW. A 518 00:37:55.800 --> 00:38:01.960 good day starts with a good morning. Here's brother Joseph, a monk who's 519 00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:07.159 taken a vow of silence, and how does he start his day? Listening 520 00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:12.000 to Mike McConnell, Good morning, Brother Joseph loves to hear the latest news, 521 00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:15.159 weather, traffic, sports and more from Mike, and he loves Mike's 522 00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:22.320 sense of humor. Let's just pretend we didn't hear that. Take it from 523 00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:28.079 Brother Joseph McConnell in the morning is a blessing. Mike McConnell Tomorrow morning at 524 00:38:28.079 --> 00:38:31.639 five on seven hundred lw A. I'm Eddie and I'm his life dev for 525 00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:36.119 Trio Bistro in the heart of Kenwood. Trio is our go to spot for 526 00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:39.480 tax plans are out and tax Days coming up on Monday. And when I 527 00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:44.960 look at polling as to what the American people believe about who pays taxes, 528 00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:50.800 it is completely different than reality. Of course, reality and politics often doesn't 529 00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:54.159 matter. What matters is perception. And I saw a gallupol about six years 530 00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:59.880 ago and I caught some of it, and the gallupole said American people said 531 00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:02.960 that top one pay six percent of the taxes, the top ten percent of 532 00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:07.320 way journers pay twenty six percent of the taxes, and the rest are born 533 00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:12.440 by middle class Americans. Now, nothing could be further from the truth. 534 00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:15.360 It is simply not the facts, because facts are available. In fact they're 535 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:20.400 available every year, but the message often does not get out. Joining you 536 00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:23.639 and I now from the Cato Institute, a great organization is Adam Michelle and 537 00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:28.679 Adam Michelle, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. First of all, can 538 00:39:28.719 --> 00:39:31.679 you tell the American people the mission of the Cato Institute to put it in 539 00:39:31.719 --> 00:39:36.679 perspective? Hell? Yeah, well, thanks for having me on here. 540 00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:43.360 At the Cato Institute, we're a nonpartisan research organization and forming policy makers towards 541 00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:52.320 libertarian policies of smaller government, more free markets, lower taxes. In the 542 00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:58.000 case of my work, where we work with Congress and inform the public sort 543 00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:02.000 of about the reality exactly what you were talking about. So what actually is 544 00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:06.960 going on rather than what the perception is. Let's break it down. We 545 00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:12.559 got to talk about the tax plan. Joe Biden, who's absent socialist, 546 00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:16.800 wants to say that we need to raise taxes on companies corporations as if they 547 00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:21.920 don't pass on those expenses to consumers. But just in a rough sense, 548 00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:25.440 every year, break down the tax brackets as far as who pays taxes, 549 00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:30.159 the top one percent, the top ten, fifty percent. Tell the American 550 00:40:30.159 --> 00:40:36.199 people the truth. Yeah, the top one percent of income earners pay about 551 00:40:36.239 --> 00:40:39.880 forty six percent of all income taxes. If you expand that down to the 552 00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:45.079 top ten percent, the top ten percent of income earners pay about seventy six 553 00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:52.039 percent of all income taxes. You and the United States actually has one of 554 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:59.840 the most progressive tax systems in the developed world, despite what the President or 555 00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:01.800 a lot of other folks would have you believed. We kind of went over 556 00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:06.000 that quickly. I want that to sync in and what concrete then, I 557 00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:09.840 wanted to harden the top one percent, which is about is that about three 558 00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:15.360 hundred and seventy five thousand dollars in income four hundred thousand is out about that 559 00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:19.039 number. Yeah, I think it might be a bit higher than that now, 560 00:41:19.079 --> 00:41:22.559 but that's in the ballpark. So if you make four hundred thousand dollars 561 00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:27.360 or more, the top one percent pay forty six percent of the income tax. 562 00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:31.719 The top ten percent, which would be something the range of one hundred 563 00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:37.280 and seventy five k a year, pay seventy six percent of the state income 564 00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:40.320 tax. And as far as the top fifty percent of the bottom fifty percent, 565 00:41:42.519 --> 00:41:45.079 I think that number breaks down to about eighty thousand dollars for those who 566 00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:50.719 make above eighty thousand dollars and you're in the top fifty percent, what percent 567 00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:55.039 of the income tax are paid by those workers? The top fifty percent pay 568 00:41:55.159 --> 00:42:01.920 almost all of the taxes. It's something like ninety ninety eight percent of the 569 00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:07.159 taxes are paid by the top fifty percent of income taxes are paid by the 570 00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:09.559 top fifty percent. And you have a column up about paying your fair share. 571 00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:14.320 One of the great bumper stickers is the rich have got to pay their 572 00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:19.280 fair share. When you hear that Adam Michelle or the Cato Institute, do 573 00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:22.000 the rich already pay their fair share? How much more can you pay? 574 00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:28.840 It certainly seems that way to me. A President Biden Austen trot out the 575 00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:34.360 statistic that the billionaires of the richest people in the United States pay an average 576 00:42:34.400 --> 00:42:37.039 tax rate of eight percent. But if you actually go to the data released 577 00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:42.760 by his Treasury Department every year, you'll see that the highest earning point zero 578 00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:49.119 one percent of income earners in the United States actually pay an all in estimated 579 00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:54.119 average tax rate of well above thirty percent. And that's sort of all inclusive 580 00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:59.679 a payroll income and the rest of it. And if you go down the 581 00:42:59.679 --> 00:43:05.960 income distribution, that tax average tax rates declined until you actually get negative average 582 00:43:06.000 --> 00:43:12.400 tax rates for the lowest income Americans, again showing how incredibly progressive the United 583 00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:17.199 States federal income taxes. It's fair to say we have what liberal Democrats seek, 584 00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:22.239 which is high income americans pay the great majority. Why is it not 585 00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:28.480 readily acceptable to average Americans as to those facts? Because you can take these 586 00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:31.440 numbers, the top one percent pay forty six percent, the top ten percent 587 00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:36.840 pay seventy six percent, the top fifty percent pay ninety nine percent of the 588 00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:40.960 taxes. But people don't believe that, right. Yeah, I think a 589 00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:46.559 lot of that is because the political class isn't honest with them. It isn't 590 00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:52.159 when we sort of cross out these statistics that are just simply not based in 591 00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:55.119 reality. I think your point that we have the tax system a lot of 592 00:43:55.159 --> 00:44:00.199 Democrats want is really apt, and they but there's a flip side of that, 593 00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:04.440 or would they point to the way that Europe does their taxing. They 594 00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:07.559 want big government, big social services, and higher taxes than we have, 595 00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:12.360 like a lot of European countries do. The way that those countries pay for 596 00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:16.559 that big government is actually higher taxes on poor people and the middle class to 597 00:44:16.760 --> 00:44:22.320 evalue added tax for much higher income tax rates that hit much lower down the 598 00:44:22.320 --> 00:44:27.480 income distribution, and so the reality of where where democrats want us to go 599 00:44:28.000 --> 00:44:34.159 is not higher taxes on the wealthy, but instead higher taxes on middle class. 600 00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:40.880 Americans and so called billionaires generally have no income which is subject to the 601 00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:45.480 income tax rates. They have capital gains, and capital gains rates are lower 602 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:52.880 than the income tax tables. And billionaires have all the rich CPAs and accountants 603 00:44:52.880 --> 00:44:57.000 money can buy to find loopholes things of that character that average Americans do not 604 00:44:57.079 --> 00:45:00.320 have. Now the State of Union address about a month ago that Biden stumbled 605 00:45:00.320 --> 00:45:07.440 through horribly. He talked about making corporations and businesses in America pay quotes their 606 00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:13.360 fair share, and that he wants to grossly increase the tax rates paid by 607 00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:17.159 corporations, by companies, etc. Explain to the American people, Adam Michelle, 608 00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:23.679 why that is a bad idea. So the United States competes for businesses, 609 00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:29.800 for global talent, for investment, for jobs with other countries all around 610 00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:32.800 the world, businesses can quite easily move. They did this a lot before 611 00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:38.000 the twenty seventeen tax because they were inverting their headquarters to Europe. So when 612 00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:44.199 you raise the business income tax, the corporate income tax above the sort of 613 00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:50.119 art average of our largest trading partners, you start losing investment and jobs and 614 00:45:50.199 --> 00:45:54.039 businesses. And so Biden wants to raise our corporate income tax rate back up, 615 00:45:54.079 --> 00:45:59.800 so we have about the second highest rate in the developed world, putting 616 00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:06.079 us back into that world pre twenty seventeen when businesses couldn't leave the United States 617 00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:10.880 fast enough. So by doing so, companies would leave the America and the 618 00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:15.519 United States and go to Mexico, go to Taiwan, go to the Philippines 619 00:46:15.599 --> 00:46:21.920 or whatever. And secondly, isn't it true that if companies corporation's income tax 620 00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:27.239 bill goes up, do they increase the cost of goods and services to sell 621 00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:31.559 to the public, which means inflation would be in a runaway mode. So 622 00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:36.519 most of the corporate income taxes actually passed on to workers in the form of 623 00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:39.599 lower wages. It does get passed on to some investors, and does go 624 00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:45.519 into higher prices, but most of it actually shows up in a way of 625 00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:50.440 hurting workers, both in the form of slower wage growth and fewer jobs. 626 00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:54.360 And so when you cut the corporate income tax rate. It's actually a benefit 627 00:46:54.559 --> 00:47:00.559 to working Americans here in the United States, and that's what we saw when 628 00:47:00.559 --> 00:47:04.119 it was cut in twenty seventeen, and what I would expect to see the 629 00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:07.480 reverse of if we were to raise it back up to sort of internationally high 630 00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:12.760 levels. And you have a posting about energy subsidies, win the spending madness 631 00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:15.079 at twenty twenty four some of your I'm going to share that with the American 632 00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:20.599 people, But can you talk about what's happening in California with their governor Gavin 633 00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:24.800 Newsom, who is perceived to be the President in waiting, because nobody with 634 00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:29.599 any common sense would ever think that Kamala Harris could be the president. But 635 00:47:29.639 --> 00:47:35.159 nonetheless, he wanted to give more money to low income workers by taking the 636 00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:38.440 minimum wage from twelve bucks an hour to twenty bucks an hour, and then 637 00:47:38.440 --> 00:47:42.599 it goes up from there. And in fact, the twenty bucks an hour 638 00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:47.239 to a McDonald's worker does not take into account the taxes that worker is liable 639 00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:52.119 to have the employer spend on like unemployment, workers compensation, all that stuff, 640 00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:53.519 So the twenty bucks an hour is even a lower. Why is it 641 00:47:53.559 --> 00:47:58.800 a bad idea for government? Mandates to tell the fast food workers, We're 642 00:47:58.840 --> 00:48:00.679 going to pay you a lot more money, and isn't that a good thing? 643 00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:07.239 Yeah, Well, when you raise the minimum wage, especially as high 644 00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:12.239 and as quickly as they have in California, it leads to additional automation and 645 00:48:12.320 --> 00:48:16.239 the pushing out of those sort of starter jobs that help you get that first 646 00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:21.920 rung on the ladder to then earn higher wages in the future. So often, 647 00:48:22.000 --> 00:48:25.519 what we've seen after these types of large minimum wage taxing, large minimum 648 00:48:25.519 --> 00:48:30.679 wage increases is that it hurts actually the people, the exact same people that 649 00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:34.400 you're oftensibly trying to help. And so instead, I think we should be 650 00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:39.199 focusing on pro growth policies that allow businesses to expand and hire more people, 651 00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:46.320 creating additional opportunities for those workers, and letting markets push wages up rather than 652 00:48:46.360 --> 00:48:51.360 government mandates. You know, it's a perfect example of the law of untended 653 00:48:51.360 --> 00:48:55.159 consequences. The intent was to put more money into pockets of low wage workers. 654 00:48:55.159 --> 00:49:00.440 In reality that caused them to be unemployed and more ais being used and 655 00:49:01.039 --> 00:49:05.880 production methods are being done by machines of one type or another, and therefore 656 00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:10.400 those it intends to help it hurts. Secondly, I see that the Inflation 657 00:49:10.599 --> 00:49:16.400 Reduction Act Whenever, which is passed two years ago by only Democratic votes, 658 00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:22.239 and you have a posting Energy subsidies win spending Madness of twenty twenty four. 659 00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:27.679 The results from the spending Madness suggest that the highest priority budget cut for Congress 660 00:49:27.880 --> 00:49:32.159 is the vast corporate welfare unleashed by the IRA is favored by the Inflation Reduction 661 00:49:32.239 --> 00:49:37.440 Act. And you note that the economy was flooded with at least one trillion 662 00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:42.639 dollars and more spending and narrow tax breaks for corporation across many industries. Why 663 00:49:42.679 --> 00:49:45.079 are the energy subsidies we think about cylinder, et cetera. Why is that 664 00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:51.159 a terrible idea? And why do the Inflation Reduction Act actually increase inflation? 665 00:49:52.880 --> 00:49:57.239 Yeah, the name of the bill is perhaps the most laughable part of this 666 00:49:57.320 --> 00:50:01.280 whole thing. It was originally supposed to to include about just a couple hundred 667 00:50:01.320 --> 00:50:07.840 billion dollars of tax credits I shouldn't say just, but tax credits for these 668 00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:13.800 types of preferenced energy and types of energy. The cost is now balloon to 669 00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:17.119 well over a trillion dollars, likely one point eight trillion dollars over ten years. 670 00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:21.519 Some of these things are ultimately made permanent. So this is one just 671 00:50:21.639 --> 00:50:25.800 additional inflationary spending sort of going out going out the door. But two, 672 00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:30.880 it makes energy markets less efficient. It's Washington choosing the type of car that 673 00:50:30.920 --> 00:50:36.320 you that you're going to drive and the type of where your energy gets to, 674 00:50:36.480 --> 00:50:42.800 rather than the market and consumer demand choosing those sort of the cars and 675 00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:46.960 the energy that is most sustainable for the economy. And so it's just another 676 00:50:47.039 --> 00:50:52.320 form of central planning industrial policy out of Washington. All right, let's get 677 00:50:52.320 --> 00:50:58.400 on to the issue of borrowing about one trillion dollars every one hundred days if 678 00:50:58.440 --> 00:51:02.280 you take and you know the number, if you take Social Security, Medicare, 679 00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:07.559 medicaid, if you take interest on the national debt, federal retirement programs, 680 00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:13.199 and the defense budget, which those items are really never cut. In 681 00:51:13.199 --> 00:51:15.320 fact, they have to go up in a sense that's about eighty percent of 682 00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:21.159 the budget. And so how do you get to a balanced budget when you 683 00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:24.079 have are going to add about twenty trillion dollars to the national debt over the 684 00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:29.119 next ten years and we're talking twenty thirty four, We're going to have accumulate 685 00:51:29.280 --> 00:51:35.039 national debt in the range of fifty five trillion dollars fifty five trillion dollars, 686 00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:38.519 which is completely unsustainable. That is Banana Republic. How do you get to 687 00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:44.400 a balanced budget when you have over eighty percent of the budget is to areas 688 00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:49.559 that are sacred cows. You know the answers. You can't have sacred cows. 689 00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:52.880 Everything needs to be on the table, and if it's not, then 690 00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:59.199 we're going to continue to sort of spiral out of control. If you take 691 00:51:59.239 --> 00:52:02.639 those mandatory spending items medicare, Medicaid, social Security, and interest on the 692 00:52:02.679 --> 00:52:09.039 debt, leaving defense spending off to the side, just those pieces will will 693 00:52:09.079 --> 00:52:14.280 will be larger than all the projected tax revenue coming in the door in just 694 00:52:14.320 --> 00:52:19.840 a couple of years. And so that tells me that sort of spending growth 695 00:52:20.119 --> 00:52:23.039 is the problem and we have to reform every single one of those things you 696 00:52:23.119 --> 00:52:28.599 mentioned. Otherwise, taxes are going to have to go up on middle class 697 00:52:28.639 --> 00:52:34.400 Americans and that will be that will ultimately be painful. To go back to 698 00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:37.599 your first point, I want to make this apparent to the American people. 699 00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:42.679 The top one percent pay forty six percent, but what percent of total income 700 00:52:42.760 --> 00:52:49.400 in the country. Does the top one percent earn. They earn about twenty 701 00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:53.440 six percent of the total income, and they pay forty six percent of all 702 00:52:53.920 --> 00:53:00.320 taxes. So that sort of gets again to this point of the wealthy are 703 00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:04.760 paying much more than the share of the income they're earning, and more than 704 00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:07.679 their fair share by that metric. So the increased taxes that must be increased 705 00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:10.880 in the middle class. And that's a problem. Right, Let's talk about 706 00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:15.320 if I would have you on with me in five, six, seven years 707 00:53:15.320 --> 00:53:19.840 from now. Let's get out the crystal ball. Let's say Joe Biden slash 708 00:53:19.840 --> 00:53:23.599 slash Kamala Harris win November the fifth, and let's say the Democrats take over 709 00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:28.599 the House and they keep they keep the Senate, and they go back into 710 00:53:28.679 --> 00:53:35.239 another inflation Reduction Act mode and continue to gallop federal spending out of control. 711 00:53:35.559 --> 00:53:40.840 How can you determine when the debt crisis comes? And secondly, Adam Michelle, 712 00:53:42.159 --> 00:53:45.199 what would that look like and how will that impact the average Americans because 713 00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:47.920 we've got to get a handle on that. Yeah, well, that's the 714 00:53:50.280 --> 00:53:55.159 trillions of dollars. That's the trillion dollar question is when the when the true 715 00:53:55.199 --> 00:54:00.440 fiscal crisis hits and I wish I knew. There's no one really knows when 716 00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:05.920 that tipping point is. But we can't continue to have a two trillion dollar 717 00:54:06.039 --> 00:54:08.519 gap between the revenue that comes in the door and the spending that goes out 718 00:54:08.559 --> 00:54:15.000 the door. Eventually something has to break, and that'll be It's going to 719 00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:19.000 be painful. It'll look like higher inflation. It will look like dramatic, 720 00:54:19.480 --> 00:54:25.079 necessary cuts to government spending. It will also to probably entail higher taxes, 721 00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:29.519 not just those earning over four hundred thousand dollars a year, but every single 722 00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:34.239 American. There'll be slower economic growth and a lot of pain. And so 723 00:54:34.280 --> 00:54:38.039 that's why making those reforms to the budget now is so important. The sooner 724 00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:43.639 we start these conversations and actually start making reforms, the easier it ultimately will 725 00:54:43.679 --> 00:54:47.119 be all right once again. Cato Institute, c at O Keto Institute. 726 00:54:47.159 --> 00:54:51.559 I encourage the American people and talking out the website, lots of good stuff 727 00:54:51.559 --> 00:54:55.639 there. This is the most predictive financial crisis ever to strike any country. 728 00:54:57.000 --> 00:55:00.199 I've been talking about this for the last ten to fifteen years, and the 729 00:55:00.280 --> 00:55:05.000 next five to ten years will be utterly ridiculous. When it comes to federal 730 00:55:05.039 --> 00:55:09.119 spending. I sends that Joe Biden slash Kamala Hair slash Gavin Newsom has no 731 00:55:09.239 --> 00:55:14.559 clue, no desire to cut federal spending at all. They want to increase 732 00:55:14.639 --> 00:55:17.280 taxes. We went over who pays the taxes, and that's impossible to cut 733 00:55:17.320 --> 00:55:22.800 any more muscle out of the body of those who have high incomes. And 734 00:55:22.880 --> 00:55:25.000 once again, Adam Michelle, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. 735 00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:29.440 And Adam, you're a great American.

I don't know how the segment was not involved. You know 773 00:58:54.119 --> 00:58:59.360 why you were going out to l A. I have no idea and calling 774 00:58:59.360 --> 00:59:02.320 her under the break now, probably somebody gasped me for wild Man. That's 775 00:59:02.320 --> 00:59:07.679 correct, right, Kevin Christopher, Yes, the wild Man, me and 776 00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:09.719 you yet are at the Mezzaluna, which shall we say, is an upscale 777 00:59:09.760 --> 00:59:14.440 restaurant. Yes, explain what happened when the server came over. Well, 778 00:59:14.480 --> 00:59:20.320 the special that day was cream of carrot soup and wild Man, what can 779 00:59:20.360 --> 00:59:24.239 I just have a cheeseburger? So we have a tune of tartar to to 780 00:59:24.360 --> 00:59:29.480 night's the special. We don't serve cheeseburgers and chili or beef vegetable soup. 781 00:59:29.559 --> 00:59:32.000 No, it's cream of carrot soup. Wild Man, and he had a 782 00:59:32.039 --> 00:59:38.079 T shirt on and a pair of shorts prisoner. T shirt prisoner. And 783 00:59:38.119 --> 00:59:44.000 then you and I go to for some reason Christopher and wild Man Kevin us 784 00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:49.079 explain what happened at the verdict the verdict that we walked the steps. We 785 00:59:49.119 --> 00:59:52.239 wanted to see where all this took place. We go to the way it 786 00:59:52.280 --> 00:59:54.599 was that Greta Green. We go there with a murder and we're about ten 787 00:59:54.679 --> 00:59:58.679 yards you know, it's a We're looking out how tight it was. And 788 00:59:59.199 --> 01:00:02.840 then we go to the actual La County courthouse for the verdict with Dodger First 789 01:00:02.840 --> 01:00:07.079 Base and Steve Garby. And this was the best part because we didn't have 790 01:00:07.320 --> 01:00:12.199 We weren't We didn't have passes to get in. No, but you said 791 01:00:12.239 --> 01:00:15.599 to the guy, look here media. It was our baseball press passes for 792 01:00:15.639 --> 01:00:21.360 the game that night against the Dodgers. We get into the press area on 793 01:00:21.440 --> 01:00:24.159 the steps of the courthouse. It's all fenced off with you know, the 794 01:00:24.320 --> 01:00:30.880 the bicycle rail stuff, so you can't get through. There was and I'm 795 01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:37.760 not kidding, at least twelve police horses fully armored. Now horses were armored. 796 01:00:37.800 --> 01:00:42.199 The horses were armored. The cops on top of them were armored and 797 01:00:42.519 --> 01:00:47.480 armed a fifteens in each hand. And we're just sitting there waiting for the 798 01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:53.039 verdict, and I look up and here comes Steve Garvey, the Great Dodger, 799 01:00:53.159 --> 01:00:59.039 just walking down the street with a box of doughnuts for the Simpson Brown 800 01:00:59.079 --> 01:01:00.519 family. So I say, hey, Steve, how you doing. He 801 01:01:00.559 --> 01:01:04.840 got an extra donut? I think he gave me a cream puff everyone. 802 01:01:05.119 --> 01:01:07.519 So he's walking in with a beautiful blonde wife. And this cop says to 803 01:01:07.559 --> 01:01:12.199 me, he said, look, if this verdict goes the wrong way and 804 01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:15.440 those thousand people behind that police line come this direction, you're on your own. 805 01:01:16.039 --> 01:01:20.480 Because we were like thirty feet in the other was a moat between us 806 01:01:20.480 --> 01:01:22.400 and the building that was underground. I looked at my right, there's a 807 01:01:22.440 --> 01:01:27.039 thirty foot jump down to the first three levels of this huge building. We 808 01:01:27.079 --> 01:01:29.599 would not have made it to the game that night. No, it would 809 01:01:29.639 --> 01:01:32.079 have been bad and Sega. At the game that night, I wanted int 810 01:01:32.119 --> 01:01:37.320 do Hedeki Nomo, who was pitching for the Dodgers. Right sovana before the 811 01:01:37.320 --> 01:01:42.119 game, I run into this Japanese photographer from Osaka. I said, look, 812 01:01:42.920 --> 01:01:45.840 I'm a radio talk shows from Cincinnati. He says something. I said, 813 01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:51.159 I'd like to interview you about Hedeki Andomo, and he says something in 814 01:01:51.280 --> 01:01:55.039 Japanese and I think he said yes. So I pull up my tape recorder. 815 01:01:55.480 --> 01:02:00.320 I asked my questions in English. There was some other interpreter there, 816 01:02:00.559 --> 01:02:05.079 the father of Otani's interpreter. I think it would interpret my question to the 817 01:02:05.199 --> 01:02:09.400 Japanese news man, and I said, we have a duchy Nomo getting ready 818 01:02:09.400 --> 01:02:14.880 to pitch against the Reds very important series here in Cincinnati. Here here against 819 01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:17.079 Cincinnati, two games there, one game here, And so I asked a 820 01:02:17.159 --> 01:02:22.320 ten minute interview which was chopped up and sent all over Reds Land with me 821 01:02:22.440 --> 01:02:27.679 interviewing at Duchy Noma before the game, and this guy was a cameraman nice, 822 01:02:27.760 --> 01:02:30.440 and you's going like this, You're on your own. You're on your 823 01:02:30.440 --> 01:02:32.960 own because this could I said, what the hell? What can happen to 824 01:02:32.960 --> 01:02:37.480 me? Nothing? Did? Did you think you at that point, which 825 01:02:37.519 --> 01:02:42.280 is twenty nine years ago, that the Reds that'll be the last time they 826 01:02:42.360 --> 01:02:45.280 won a game in the postseason? No? I did not. And also 827 01:02:45.679 --> 01:02:49.440 on that day twenty nine years ago, I bought the shirt off the street 828 01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:54.199 vendor which I still have that says if it doesn't fit, then you must 829 01:02:54.239 --> 01:03:00.719 have quit. Can't make it up. Hey, Twitter, world, it 830 01:03:00.760 --> 01:03:05.000 is me yours truly. It hurts something really interesting today, you know, 831 01:03:05.119 --> 01:03:09.840 with ninety nine or whatever percent of people dying or they're unvaccinated from the new 832 01:03:09.960 --> 01:03:15.639 COVID stuff, and over ninety percent of hospitalization, especially in Florida, are 833 01:03:15.719 --> 01:03:21.519 among the unvaccinated. A female doctors on this morning she made the best analogy 834 01:03:21.559 --> 01:03:27.360 I've heard. She said that being vaccinated is like wearing your seatbelt, that 835 01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:31.880 it doesn't guarantee you won't get in an accident, but if you do, 836 01:03:31.920 --> 01:03:37.719 you have a much better chance of surviving. Hey, get your shots. 837 01:03:37.880 --> 01:03:40.800 I don't like wearing masks, and as you people who aren't getting the shots 838 01:03:42.159 --> 01:03:45.280 that have brought this mask thing back. I'm just saying, take care. 839 01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:52.599 OJ giving medical advice a PSA BYOJ perfect Willie with this morning. I got 840 01:03:52.679 --> 01:03:58.400 up and I found myself watching Meet the Press. They had the baby Lwamaswami 841 01:03:58.679 --> 01:04:03.519 on now Light the debates, the Republican debates. I said, hey, 842 01:04:03.519 --> 01:04:06.840 this guy is onto something. Then he'll say something. I said, Oh 843 01:04:06.840 --> 01:04:12.239 my god, I attributed to his youth. I guess now. First, 844 01:04:12.320 --> 01:04:15.320 let me make it clear. I'm not a Republican. I'm also not a 845 01:04:15.320 --> 01:04:19.440 Democrat. I would have called myself independent, but I'm probably I'm a little 846 01:04:19.480 --> 01:04:25.800 more a libertarian, even though I think you vote for the best person. 847 01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:30.119 I don't care what party they're in. And listening to this guy, I 848 01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:34.519 do have this book. I've only got like thirty percent into the book, 849 01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:38.360 but I love what he was saying in this book. I was saying, 850 01:04:38.360 --> 01:04:44.199 it's fresh, it's new. I mean, yeah, you can't make it 851 01:04:44.280 --> 01:04:46.079 up. No, you can't make it up. And I can't make this 852 01:04:46.239 --> 01:04:50.880 up either. When you were in the Bahamas with OJ, one of the 853 01:04:50.880 --> 01:04:56.599 great stories of all time please tell the story. I'm there with three of 854 01:04:56.599 --> 01:05:00.880 my boys. Mike Bartosik, right, Bartosic, tight end for what he 855 01:05:00.880 --> 01:05:06.360 hayes, big guy, good good golf. Also Mike McCall, Xavier Basketeer. 856 01:05:06.440 --> 01:05:09.480 You know Mike, Yes, I know Mike Well, big guy. 857 01:05:09.880 --> 01:05:13.000 And then Wayne Carucci. He owns a trucking company now, but he was 858 01:05:13.039 --> 01:05:15.719 an MMA fighter. He boxed for a living. He beat people up. 859 01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:19.679 And Vinnie's about six three, about twoint forty, so I figure, you 860 01:05:19.760 --> 01:05:24.320 know, what the hell? So I'm sitting there ready to tee off, 861 01:05:24.320 --> 01:05:27.039 and I could sense a car pulled up next to me. I'm doing the 862 01:05:27.039 --> 01:05:30.320 scorecards. See Mike got eight strokes, Vinnie gets twelve, Gray Bartosic and 863 01:05:30.360 --> 01:05:33.599 I play even. And I looked to my left. There about three feet 864 01:05:33.599 --> 01:05:38.480 away is OJ Simpson by himself and a golf car. And his head's the 865 01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:41.519 size of the juice. Fuck it, that's what I say. I said, 866 01:05:41.639 --> 01:05:44.039 juice. He said, hey, man, how you doing that? 867 01:05:44.800 --> 01:05:45.599 You? I said, what do you do? As I'm a radio talk 868 01:05:45.599 --> 01:05:48.239 show host? He said, hey, hopefully you're good. When a lawyer, 869 01:05:48.280 --> 01:05:50.840 he said, I always need lawyers. So with that, the other 870 01:05:50.880 --> 01:05:55.079 guys came over. He got up, walked about ten yards away. They 871 01:05:55.119 --> 01:05:59.079 run another group on the putting green. They say, juice walker. They 872 01:05:59.079 --> 01:06:02.639 walk over and at that point they're talking, getting a few pictures or whatever. 873 01:06:03.239 --> 01:06:05.960 And uh, I'm looking at this scene thinking, I'm getting pissed off 874 01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:11.400 because did he kill the mother of his children in a brutal way? Yes? 875 01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:15.360 Did he beat her up repeatedly ahead of time? Yes? And in 876 01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:17.559 cold blood? Did he slaughter Ron Goldman? Had nothing to do with either 877 01:06:17.599 --> 01:06:20.519 one of the two. Yes, And I had on fred it by that 878 01:06:20.599 --> 01:06:25.039 point I had fred on went to father this son of them. So I 879 01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:27.079 go up there and I say, hey, Juice, Yeah, man, 880 01:06:27.119 --> 01:06:30.800 what you got? I said, who'd you kill first? Because I thought 881 01:06:30.920 --> 01:06:34.360 Ron Goldman was six to one the autopsy sixty one eighty five, good looking 882 01:06:34.440 --> 01:06:38.159 guy strong. I think that you had to kill him first, or at 883 01:06:38.199 --> 01:06:41.519 least incapacity to him. Then you go and decapitated the mother your children? 884 01:06:41.519 --> 01:06:49.360 Do I have that right? And uh oh suddenly the mood changes. I 885 01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:53.760 didn't hurt anybody else, and so he's uh M math this and M math 886 01:06:53.880 --> 01:06:57.320 that? A white AMV So they there was only a threesome. They go 887 01:06:57.400 --> 01:07:00.800 off and and Wayne Crouchy says, look, let's let them get to hold 888 01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:02.960 it two ahead of us. I said, don't hit that. We're not 889 01:07:03.039 --> 01:07:08.199 hitting into OJ. I said, correct. So that night we used to 890 01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:12.320 go to the Esper Major Princess Casino because you get bet on baskets. It 891 01:07:12.360 --> 01:07:15.760 was in March, you could actually legally bet on and we sit there, 892 01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:18.199 you know, and make basketball bets. And at the end of the bar 893 01:07:18.320 --> 01:07:21.920 a nice place about twenty yards a where I saw OJ sitting there with two 894 01:07:21.920 --> 01:07:26.920 of his friends, and then the women were going nuts. Women were just 895 01:07:27.079 --> 01:07:30.440 attracted to him like bees to honey. And Mike McCall looks at me and 896 01:07:30.440 --> 01:07:32.280 said, you got to get out of here. I said no, no, 897 01:07:33.320 --> 01:07:36.559 So I sluck off to the right, walked around. I went home. 898 01:07:36.760 --> 01:07:40.320 I went back to my room and double bullet at my door, and 899 01:07:40.360 --> 01:07:43.920 I put a sign on saying do not disturb. I don't know I would 900 01:07:43.920 --> 01:07:45.360 have kept me safe or not, but it was a classic moment. It 901 01:07:45.400 --> 01:07:48.719 was a classic moment. Yes, do you still think in Buffalo they think 902 01:07:48.760 --> 01:07:53.119 he's innocent? No, no, one with a brain, not even in 903 01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:58.400 Buffalo. No. How did Ron Goldman's blood get on his brake pedal? 904 01:07:58.719 --> 01:08:02.039 From his shoe when he off. How did Ron Goldman's blood get on the 905 01:08:02.079 --> 01:08:09.760 accelerator inside those little rubber canals on the That's impossible. The killer did that, 906 01:08:09.880 --> 01:08:12.639 and the killer was O. J. Simpson. But the gloves didn't 907 01:08:12.679 --> 01:08:15.920 fit. You must have quit. Say give me some sports. Well, 908 01:08:15.960 --> 01:08:19.000 leave the stude. You bought us A proud service of your local teme star 909 01:08:19.279 --> 01:08:25.159 heating at air condisiting dealers.

Probably sitting at home watching it on TV? 915 01:08:46.479 --> 01:08:50.800 Or down here? Yeh? Where were you? I was at Mommy State 916 01:08:50.960 --> 01:08:56.319 Park watching it in the law.

It was like Game four or five, and they kept Game five 920 01:09:09.760 --> 01:09:13.800 and they kept breaking in with the Ford Bronco and ac in the in the 921 01:09:13.840 --> 01:09:16.720 front seat, and that was bigger than the NBA. Right, Oh yeah, 922 01:09:16.960 --> 01:09:20.640 absolute? What was his crime? Killing two people? What was his 923 01:09:20.720 --> 01:09:25.159 crime? I think Benjamin Crump wasn't around those days. Of course, Johnny 924 01:09:25.159 --> 01:09:27.840 Cochran did a pretty good job playing the race card. Now he played the 925 01:09:27.920 --> 01:09:31.399 race deck. There was no cards left in the deck. Who was the 926 01:09:31.880 --> 01:09:38.399 prosecuted computer? What was her name? Uh?

Kardashian wrote a book. Flee Bailey had him 929 01:09:45.319 --> 01:09:48.680 in, he wrote a book. He almost he almost choked on the food 930 01:09:48.720 --> 01:09:54.000 we brought him. Remember that he's sitting in the studio down the hallway and 931 01:09:54.039 --> 01:09:56.600 he was hungry. He said, he's hungry. Yeah, we brought we 932 01:09:56.680 --> 01:09:59.720 had some kind of brought some food in. It was a pizza. And 933 01:09:59.760 --> 01:10:03.520 all the sudden he's like choking and break and Flee Bailey is like downing this 934 01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:09.039 pizza like his last meal. And he starts getting and I'm looking at like 935 01:10:10.039 --> 01:10:15.159 sitting there and I'm like what I said say, I'm like he may need 936 01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:18.600 mouth to mouth. Get over there, and I'm hitting him on the back. 937 01:10:19.319 --> 01:10:26.840 Flee Bailey's thing drop over right in our studio.

They're going to make it up 942 01:10:42.720 --> 01:10:45.720 as a day night doubleheader on August thirtieth. One other little story about Flee 943 01:10:45.720 --> 01:10:50.640 Bailey. He came to Cincinnati to speak out of Steven R. Adams seminar 944 01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:54.600 one of our deals I've got Christmas time. You've been in a couple of 945 01:10:54.640 --> 01:10:58.920 them at Seca Claus yep. And for some reason, Steven R. Adams 946 01:10:58.920 --> 01:11:03.840 paid him ten thousand plus expenses. I that's Steve. I mean, most 947 01:11:03.880 --> 01:11:08.520 people here don't have the best feelings about E. Flee Bailey, but he 948 01:11:08.560 --> 01:11:14.279 did it anyway. For the next several weeks he paid him the ten thousand 949 01:11:14.479 --> 01:11:18.680 plus expenses and he kept submitting to Steve the expenses of that pizza the almost 950 01:11:18.760 --> 01:11:21.840 choked on that we paid for and he wanted to be paid twenty four to 951 01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:27.199 ninety five by the way, Aflee Bailey had filed bankruptcy by this point to 952 01:11:27.239 --> 01:11:30.560 get reimbursed for the pizza that almost killed him. I said Steve will I 953 01:11:30.600 --> 01:11:34.000 don't thank anybody paid for that pizza. He put that on his expense record. 954 01:11:35.119 --> 01:11:40.039 Flee Bailey and Golf Willie.

What about Billy Donovan? 963 01:12:15.279 --> 01:12:17.199 He's my choin. I don't know Billy Donovan yet. What about Billy 964 01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:21.239 Donovan?

We leave you 982 01:13:34.640 --> 01:13:41.359 with the immortal words of the stood report. This is certainly a big day 983 01:13:41.359 --> 01:13:44.079 in the life of one Brian Pillman of Norwood. You got to scoot a 984 01:13:44.079 --> 01:13:46.039 little closer if you would, please. There you go. You can move 985 01:13:46.079 --> 01:13:53.079 the mic anyway you want. Uh. I'm sure everyone knows that in professional 986 01:13:53.119 --> 01:13:59.039 athletics you have days when you're incredibly high and you have days when you're incredibly 987 01:13:59.119 --> 01:14:01.079 low. And in the last forty eight hours, I tend to think that 988 01:14:01.119 --> 01:14:08.039 Brian Pillman is probably going to going to both extremes low yesterday because he was 989 01:14:08.119 --> 01:14:11.720 way. But once the explanation by Sam, look we want to clear you 990 01:14:11.760 --> 01:14:15.600 through waivers, bring you back, and then the elation of clearing waivers coming 991 01:14:15.640 --> 01:14:19.800 back in the Cincinnati Bengals, I imagine nor Wood is just about lighting the 992 01:14:19.840 --> 01:14:24.239 fireworks up right now. Congratulations Brian, Thank you very much. Bomb. 993 01:14:24.399 --> 01:14:28.319 I'm sure it's a lifelong dream come true to play for this team in this 994 01:14:28.399 --> 01:14:31.680 town at the professional level. It sure is. I remember many many afternoons 995 01:14:31.680 --> 01:14:38.840 on Sunday watching watching the megal plays, in particular, watching you out there 996 01:14:39.199 --> 01:14:42.439 catch some touchdown passes and don't try to make friends with me. Now I 997 01:14:42.479 --> 01:14:45.880 have no control over your career. We could be friends, but you don't 998 01:14:45.920 --> 01:14:47.399 have to. Look it's not going to do you any good to compliment me. 999 01:14:48.359 --> 01:14:56.399 But nevertheless, anyway, and I remember watching some frustrating losses wish and 1000 01:14:56.399 --> 01:15:00.000 I could be out there helping them win. And now I've got that opportunity, 1001 01:15:00.119 --> 01:15:01.359 and I'm really excited about it. I don't believe you. I don't 1002 01:15:01.439 --> 01:15:05.680 One last story about flying Brian Pillman. I get a call from somebody with 1003 01:15:05.720 --> 01:15:10.479 the WWF at that point, and on the line with me is his wife, 1004 01:15:10.479 --> 01:15:13.920 Brian Pillman. And his wife asked me, Bill, would you do 1005 01:15:14.199 --> 01:15:18.960 Brian Pillman's eulogy? And I said sure. He got you and Vince McMahon. 1006 01:15:19.720 --> 01:15:23.000 I said sure, because I was going to go on the road with 1007 01:15:23.119 --> 01:15:26.479 him and be a road manager. We were going to have an act on 1008 01:15:26.479 --> 01:15:29.880 that road. Those are the days, seg Man, you were going to 1009 01:15:29.920 --> 01:15:34.159 be like mister Fuji or Paul Haman her Blassy Freddy Blassy, the Hollywood fashion 1010 01:15:34.199 --> 01:15:39.359 Please, So I gave a nice eulogy for flying Brian Pillman and along with 1011 01:15:39.439 --> 01:15:43.359 Vince McMahon.

Check it out on seven hundred wlw's live stream on the 1018 01:16:20.840 --> 01:16:26.399 iHeartRadio app. Hey, I'm Eddie and I'm his wife Deb For Trio Bistro 1019 01:16:26.640 --> 01:16:29.760 in the heart of Kenwood. Trio is our go to spot for great food, 1020 01:16:29.920 --> 01:16:31.680 great service, and a really fun bar to hang out with friend, 1021 01:16:34.640 --> 01:16:39.279 I go cunning. In the Great American the national media, the so called 1022 01:16:39.520 --> 01:16:45.039 legacy media, the so called big time media, fashions and coins itself as 1023 01:16:45.079 --> 01:16:47.960 an objective arbitrator of what's happening in the world, especially the world of politics. 1024 01:16:48.479 --> 01:16:53.600 If you talk to those who have run The New York Times or ABCNBCCBS, 1025 01:16:54.279 --> 01:16:58.960 they consider themselves to be journalist and not left doing ideologues. Of course, 1026 01:16:58.960 --> 01:17:00.960 I think I know the answer that question. But nonetheless, there are 1027 01:17:01.039 --> 01:17:06.399 rating agencies available, like Media Research Center and others who every day, every 1028 01:17:08.039 --> 01:17:13.239 hour, every minute, tapes every broadcast everywhere to determine a score and a 1029 01:17:13.319 --> 01:17:16.439 ranking and a rating as far as who's objective and who is not, because 1030 01:17:16.479 --> 01:17:23.439 it is imperative that our so called news media provides Americans with objective, independent 1031 01:17:23.479 --> 01:17:28.520 information upon which each of us can cast an informed ballot. And if we 1032 01:17:28.560 --> 01:17:30.600 don't get that information because too many of us are so busy, we don't 1033 01:17:30.640 --> 01:17:34.960 have time to watch ABC, NBCCBS, NPR, we don't have time to 1034 01:17:34.960 --> 01:17:39.560 watch CNN and Brightbart, we don't have time to watch Fox or read every 1035 01:17:39.560 --> 01:17:43.960 newspaper in the country. So Media Research Center is one of those organizations that 1036 01:17:44.079 --> 01:17:48.880 does that for you, MRC, Media Research Center, and it's a lustative. 1037 01:17:49.319 --> 01:17:55.920 What happened an NPR National Public Radio Allegedly the taxpayer puts in one hundred 1038 01:17:55.960 --> 01:17:59.279 million dollars a year or more to make sure. Why we do this is 1039 01:17:59.359 --> 01:18:04.840 stupid, really stupid to pay government employees money to be ideologically hard left, 1040 01:18:04.840 --> 01:18:10.079 But an editor of NPR said, and he's still working there to my knowledge 1041 01:18:10.119 --> 01:18:15.119 that NPR has lost its original mission. It's not a fair, independent news 1042 01:18:15.119 --> 01:18:19.640 gathering organization. It's a left wing platform because eighty seven of the employees or 1043 01:18:19.680 --> 01:18:25.760 Democrats. How many Republicans The answer is zero. It doesn't work. They're 1044 01:18:25.760 --> 01:18:30.159 a propaganda arm, like a Pravda or a Vestia in the old Soviet Union. 1045 01:18:30.720 --> 01:18:33.760 So joining you and I now is Joseph Asquez. He's with Media Research 1046 01:18:33.800 --> 01:18:39.000 Center, and there's a group called NewsGuard that had always given The New York 1047 01:18:39.039 --> 01:18:44.119 Times a flawless one hundred percent score when it comes to freedom of speech. 1048 01:18:44.560 --> 01:18:47.479 And Joseph Asquez, first of all, what is the mission of the Media 1049 01:18:47.520 --> 01:18:50.319 Research Center? Then we'll talk about NewsGuard in a moment. What is the 1050 01:18:50.359 --> 01:18:56.479 mission of your group? The mission of the Media Research Center is to watch 1051 01:18:56.520 --> 01:19:00.199 the media, so you won't have to That's essentially what way you don't have 1052 01:19:00.279 --> 01:19:03.800 to watch it because you can go online and say, Okay, ABC News 1053 01:19:03.800 --> 01:19:10.239 did this, NBC News did that, CBS News does The fact checkers were 1054 01:19:10.319 --> 01:19:15.079 laid off when Trump was defeated in twenty twenty one and January twentieth, all 1055 01:19:15.119 --> 01:19:18.760 the fact checkers at CNN got fired. They didn't want to check facts. 1056 01:19:18.920 --> 01:19:25.479 So when Biden recently said that inflation was so bad under Donald Trump, they've 1057 01:19:25.520 --> 01:19:29.159 pulled it down. If Donald Trump had said a similar thing, somebody would 1058 01:19:29.239 --> 01:19:31.840 jumped up and said, you know what, fact checked. When Trump left 1059 01:19:31.840 --> 01:19:36.720 office, inflation was one point four percent and today it's close to four to 1060 01:19:36.840 --> 01:19:41.600 five percent. Benezeia as nine percent, But nonetheless, explain to the American 1061 01:19:41.600 --> 01:19:45.520 people what is NewsGuard and what is their rating of The New York Times. 1062 01:19:45.359 --> 01:19:49.920 Oh well, NewsGuard is essentially a Lestus media ratings firm, and the main 1063 01:19:49.960 --> 01:19:56.560 mission of the NewsGuard is to go out to the advertisers of right wing outlets, 1064 01:19:56.840 --> 01:19:59.720 right winging outlets that don't comport with the elector's narrative. We have the 1065 01:19:59.760 --> 01:20:01.279 media which are going to have been calling out news Guards left us by it 1066 01:20:01.720 --> 01:20:06.279 for three years and one of the most embarrassing they just utterly embarrassing ratings that 1067 01:20:06.319 --> 01:20:10.640 news Guard did so left leaning outlets is if it's not an indicative of it's 1068 01:20:10.640 --> 01:20:15.680 bias, is that it peatedly gave legacy outlooks like the New York Times USA 1069 01:20:15.680 --> 01:20:18.880 today perfect one hundred out of one hundred scores. They raid on a zero 1070 01:20:18.920 --> 01:20:21.520 to one hundred scale. And I mean, come on, I mean, 1071 01:20:21.800 --> 01:20:25.920 can you be any more explicit with your bias than that. You're talking about 1072 01:20:25.920 --> 01:20:29.560 The New York Times, the same outlet, the same outlet that is pushed 1073 01:20:29.560 --> 01:20:33.800 the Russia collusion hopes, the same outlet that's repeatedly gas flighting for Bidenomics. 1074 01:20:34.039 --> 01:20:38.680 You're talking about You're talking about an outlet that goes far back decades to the 1075 01:20:38.720 --> 01:20:41.840 era of Walter durandy are Man in Moscow, who was showing from the Soviet 1076 01:20:41.920 --> 01:20:45.479 Union. This particular outlet is considered to be the flawless example of journalism. 1077 01:20:45.720 --> 01:20:49.680 So when we caught that, finally NewsGuard after we called them out for continuing 1078 01:20:49.720 --> 01:20:56.239 to do that, they downgraded The New York Times around thirteen points because apparently, 1079 01:20:56.319 --> 01:21:00.680 according to NewsGuard now, the New York Times doesn't quote distinguish between news 1080 01:21:00.680 --> 01:21:03.680 and opinion responsibly. And my reaction was, have you been living under a 1081 01:21:03.800 --> 01:21:06.800 rock for the past twenty years or something? I mean, like, I 1082 01:21:06.840 --> 01:21:11.840 mean, for cooks take to incorporate opinion into all of their news coverage with 1083 01:21:12.000 --> 01:21:14.600 a left wing plant that's public. That's one of the reasons why that we 1084 01:21:14.680 --> 01:21:18.359 need research center exists because outworks like The New York Times repeatedly tried to dact 1085 01:21:18.479 --> 01:21:23.319 like the American people with a left wing bent on all of its coverage. 1086 01:21:23.399 --> 01:21:25.840 And that's what we found out here. And it's like, well, guess 1087 01:21:25.840 --> 01:21:28.000 what I mean, Well, you did it. You finally realized that the 1088 01:21:28.039 --> 01:21:30.760 New York Times wasn't flawless. Well good, I mean, you just took 1089 01:21:30.800 --> 01:21:34.079 it. It's just taking you years to figure that out. It's unbelievable. 1090 01:21:34.079 --> 01:21:39.560 And when was the last time the New York Times for President endorsed the Republican 1091 01:21:39.760 --> 01:21:44.640 or the last time the Cleveland Plane Dealer and Cleveland endorsed their Republican for president. 1092 01:21:44.680 --> 01:21:48.760 The answer is it's never happened. Never, It never happened, exactly 1093 01:21:48.840 --> 01:21:51.960 right. And you know that's that's what made this whole thing just just pretty 1094 01:21:53.039 --> 01:21:58.479 hilarious. Because we had done analysis of newsguards rating bias. We used We 1095 01:21:58.600 --> 01:22:01.399 used an all data from a firm called all Sides, And what they do 1096 01:22:01.520 --> 01:22:06.319 all Sides is that they rate left and right leaning outlets based on their bias 1097 01:22:06.439 --> 01:22:11.199 right to left. So we use their lists and what we found repeatedly is 1098 01:22:11.239 --> 01:22:15.880 that NewsGuard heavily favored left wing outlets over right leaning outlets. I mean, 1099 01:22:15.920 --> 01:22:19.000 our recent study just found that NewsGuard is tend to get an average score of 1100 01:22:19.119 --> 01:22:24.279 ninety one out of one hundred to left leaning outlets, while only in abysmal 1101 01:22:24.520 --> 01:22:28.239 sixty five out of one hundred to right leaning outlets, and that bias has 1102 01:22:28.279 --> 01:22:30.960 remained the same of course, three consecutive years. We've we've conducted that team 1103 01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:34.840 study over three consecutive years, and the bias remains the same. And now 1104 01:22:34.880 --> 01:22:38.760 they seems to be paying attention because now they're realized, Hey, guess what, 1105 01:22:39.279 --> 01:22:43.439 maybe we shouldn't say that these outlets are flawless like the New York Times 1106 01:22:43.479 --> 01:22:46.600 one of the perfect examples, And funnily enough, news Guard included this and 1107 01:22:46.640 --> 01:22:51.439 their update of the New York Times label. When The New York Times falsely 1108 01:22:51.479 --> 01:22:58.279 accused Israel of bombing the hospital, the Alli hospital in Gaza City, you 1109 01:22:58.319 --> 01:23:01.560 know, some time ago, following the Optober seventh geneside Bahamas, they falsely 1110 01:23:01.680 --> 01:23:08.199 accused Israel of engaging in this in this bombing purely on the word of Hamas, 1111 01:23:08.479 --> 01:23:11.560 and they got called out, They got ripped to shreds for it because 1112 01:23:11.920 --> 01:23:15.479 because they were part of leaving this charge, and they led to international uproar, 1113 01:23:15.560 --> 01:23:20.399 international funeral mass protests, and NewsGuard finally included that scandal inside their nutrition 1114 01:23:20.560 --> 01:23:24.319 label after we called them out and said, hey, NewsGuard, we wrote 1115 01:23:24.319 --> 01:23:27.239 a piece from the pay news Guard. Why do outlets that random the word 1116 01:23:27.279 --> 01:23:30.680 of hamas the falsely accused Israel? Why do they get perfect scores? That 1117 01:23:30.920 --> 01:23:34.960 was over three months ago, and just just months later they decided to upgrade 1118 01:23:35.000 --> 01:23:39.199 the the nutrition label noting the scandal. And I'm like, for goodness sake, 1119 01:23:39.520 --> 01:23:42.439 there's endless amount of anecdotes to show that The New York Times is not 1120 01:23:42.560 --> 01:23:45.800 flawless. But that's what they want to convince the American people that NewsGuard is 1121 01:23:45.880 --> 01:23:48.600 not how fallish and makes one makes it even war scale if that NewsGuard has 1122 01:23:48.680 --> 01:23:53.439 received federal money years ago. A couple of years ago, the Department of 1123 01:23:53.479 --> 01:23:59.039 Defense gave US seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars contract Q NewsGuard Q news Guard 1124 01:23:59.239 --> 01:24:03.520 and tax payer money, So the American people are financing this monstract. It's 1125 01:24:03.600 --> 01:24:09.560 like NPR. NPR even liberals have stopped listening to NPR that we fund. 1126 01:24:09.640 --> 01:24:14.319 That is ridiculous that the taxpayer sends one hundred million dollars and so every year 1127 01:24:14.359 --> 01:24:17.920 to NPR when it's a left wing platform that has much of propaganda, and 1128 01:24:18.000 --> 01:24:23.119 I'm glad they're one of their editors stood up and said we can't continue to 1129 01:24:23.239 --> 01:24:26.680 do this. Juan Williams, I've had him on my show several times from 1130 01:24:26.800 --> 01:24:30.039 Fox News, was fired like ten or twelve years ago because he didn't tell 1131 01:24:30.079 --> 01:24:33.159 he was a liberal, but he wasn't liberal enough for NPR, and he 1132 01:24:33.319 --> 01:24:36.239 was fired. I want to ask you a big question, because I get 1133 01:24:36.279 --> 01:24:41.880 this quite often in talk radio. If you take ABC, NBC, CBS, 1134 01:24:42.000 --> 01:24:46.560 take all the newspapers, take NPR, take college campuses, take those 1135 01:24:46.600 --> 01:24:53.439 who form opinions and express them, ninety nine percent are liberals or leftists. 1136 01:24:53.640 --> 01:24:58.479 When I watch Reverend Al Sharpton as the voice of Reason on Morning Joe, 1137 01:24:59.000 --> 01:25:01.680 I'm thinking, well, that's a perfect example. NBC allows that kind of 1138 01:25:01.720 --> 01:25:05.439 crap to go out over the airwaves as if they're journalists. Why are so 1139 01:25:05.640 --> 01:25:11.319 many journalist editors, those who run the national media ninety percent of it in 1140 01:25:11.399 --> 01:25:14.000 this country? Why are they so liberal? Where does that come from? 1141 01:25:15.319 --> 01:25:18.680 Well, I mean it just comes from society. The Marxists has done an 1142 01:25:18.760 --> 01:25:25.119 exquit job of politically speaking, in infiltrating every aspect of society in order to 1143 01:25:25.159 --> 01:25:28.319 get their message across, whether it be in the college campuses as he mentioned, 1144 01:25:28.560 --> 01:25:30.000 or whether they media, whether even in the halls of government. We're 1145 01:25:30.159 --> 01:25:34.399 entering into a dystopian era that even the great George Orwell put in that had 1146 01:25:34.439 --> 01:25:39.159 foreseen in all of his wisdom. This is dystopia on steroids. We have 1147 01:25:39.279 --> 01:25:44.000 a media that is now doing the bidding of government rather than holding government accountable. 1148 01:25:44.239 --> 01:25:47.000 And it's just absolutely bonkers, bonkers that in some of these outlets that 1149 01:25:47.039 --> 01:25:50.760 you mentioned in Huge Guard or NPR or PDS, let's a TDS for example, 1150 01:25:51.039 --> 01:25:55.840 they're getting financed by the tax payadults. So imagine people are getting finance 1151 01:25:56.079 --> 01:26:00.920 or financing outlets that are insulting them with leftist propaganda. Continues to go on. 1152 01:26:00.039 --> 01:26:03.359 But the NPR editors just came out and said, he admitted what we 1153 01:26:03.479 --> 01:26:08.119 all knew was going on behind the you know, behind behind the van. 1154 01:26:08.239 --> 01:26:10.960 We knew that NPR was to left this out, but now this editors just 1155 01:26:11.039 --> 01:26:14.479 came out and proved a point. And you know, you and I were 1156 01:26:14.840 --> 01:26:17.880 talking a little bit earlier, said apparently, according to this editor Over eighty 1157 01:26:18.479 --> 01:26:25.319 Democrats are in editorial positions at NPR, So we know that these in youerro 1158 01:26:25.399 --> 01:26:28.880 Republicans, and so we know that most of this content that's coming out of 1159 01:26:29.000 --> 01:26:31.479 NPR Findings for the tax Payer is going to have an extreme leftist bent. 1160 01:26:31.720 --> 01:26:35.199 It is an insult. It is an insult to American's intelligence. And not 1161 01:26:35.359 --> 01:26:39.119 only that, it's an insult to the American taxpayer that not only did they 1162 01:26:39.159 --> 01:26:42.640 have to hear this nonsense and a day to day, but they also are 1163 01:26:42.680 --> 01:26:47.760 paying for it to their taxes. Absolutely ridiculous, this insanity, utter insanity, 1164 01:26:48.239 --> 01:26:53.880 you know. Joseph Askas of Media Research Center, I would like to 1165 01:26:54.000 --> 01:26:57.920 think that if the election were held on Tuesday, Donald Trump would win the 1166 01:26:57.960 --> 01:27:00.079 election. However, he's going to be sitting in your city courtroom for eight 1167 01:27:00.159 --> 01:27:04.000 weeks or so. And I have a concern that if he wins again November 1168 01:27:04.039 --> 01:27:10.439 the fifth, that the media and the Democrats and the lawsuits and the prosecutors 1169 01:27:10.880 --> 01:27:14.039 will not let him be the president. They did not permit that. In 1170 01:27:14.279 --> 01:27:19.079 twenty sixteen or seventeen, as Pizi courts issued illegal snooping of the Trump campaign 1171 01:27:19.239 --> 01:27:23.840 and the Trump White House and James Comy was in charge of that along with 1172 01:27:23.920 --> 01:27:27.560 Brennan. They did not let him be the president because they attacked him mercilessly 1173 01:27:28.039 --> 01:27:31.680 and impeached him immediately and issue subpoenas all over the federal government executive branch. 1174 01:27:32.039 --> 01:27:35.000 Do you have any hope that if Trump does win, that the American people 1175 01:27:35.119 --> 01:27:40.000 get this figured out between now and then, that Donald Trump can actually be 1176 01:27:40.079 --> 01:27:44.720 the president, have a honeymoon period, and that the mainstream media that wants 1177 01:27:44.760 --> 01:27:47.760 to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsen that they're going to step 1178 01:27:47.840 --> 01:27:54.760 away, step down and become journalists. Is that possible that our media would 1179 01:27:54.800 --> 01:27:59.520 cover this thing objectively? As far as the media covering objectively, I would 1180 01:27:59.520 --> 01:28:01.880 say not. I mean, they've already shown where they're making their bed. 1181 01:28:01.960 --> 01:28:04.479 And you know, it's not even just the media anymore, it's big tech. 1182 01:28:04.880 --> 01:28:08.880 And now we find out that not to be big tech platforms that have 1183 01:28:09.039 --> 01:28:13.760 networked that surpassed that of many of countries, whether it be Google or Facebook, 1184 01:28:14.039 --> 01:28:15.600 or whether it be TikTok or these others you know that have that have 1185 01:28:15.720 --> 01:28:20.439 engaged in math censorship across the past past couple of years and now we find 1186 01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:25.239 out that the government is colluding with these platforms behind closed doors. I know 1187 01:28:25.319 --> 01:28:28.800 that the sensor speech that is disagreeable to the Biden narrative. I mean, 1188 01:28:28.920 --> 01:28:31.640 we are We're not even living in American society anymore. We're living in what 1189 01:28:31.760 --> 01:28:36.279 Mark Le then called Amertopia. This is the new dystopiing era that the American 1190 01:28:36.319 --> 01:28:40.680 people are living in, which is why we have to be vigilant now when 1191 01:28:40.720 --> 01:28:44.920 it comes to protecting the freedom of speech, when it comes to when it 1192 01:28:45.000 --> 01:28:47.439 comes to the rights to speak freely online. If we do not if we 1193 01:28:47.520 --> 01:28:50.880 do not make a point in making a voice is heard, now, the 1194 01:28:50.960 --> 01:28:54.720 freedom of if the freedom of speach, those every other freedom is going to 1195 01:28:54.760 --> 01:28:58.399 go by the wayside. We're living in a very dangerous and critical point in 1196 01:28:58.479 --> 01:29:01.159 American history and the America and people need to be vigiling because there are forces 1197 01:29:01.279 --> 01:29:05.640 out there right now that are looking to take away their freedoms by force, 1198 01:29:05.800 --> 01:29:11.960 and they will happen and let the American people make their voices hurt college campuses. 1199 01:29:12.079 --> 01:29:14.720 I watched the story and one of the one of the morning talk shows 1200 01:29:14.800 --> 01:29:19.239 about being a Jewish student and a large university is dangerous and then I look 1201 01:29:19.319 --> 01:29:23.880 the lack of freedom of speech on college campuses. You can you can be 1202 01:29:23.960 --> 01:29:27.199 at Stanford Law, You're can be a Columbia. You're gonna be at Harvard 1203 01:29:27.279 --> 01:29:31.479 or Yale, and which is supposedly freedom of speech bastions. Well, you've 1204 01:29:31.479 --> 01:29:35.800 got to have freedom of speech. But if there's someone supporting Israel or some 1205 01:29:36.119 --> 01:29:42.359 conservative that will show up at Stanford College of Law, uh, they will 1206 01:29:42.439 --> 01:29:45.960 be shouted down. You can't speak. In fact, in one college campus, 1207 01:29:46.039 --> 01:29:50.039 the Jewish students were hiding out in a closet because they feared for their 1208 01:29:50.119 --> 01:29:55.359 lives and the security at the college campus didn't protect them. Now they're suing 1209 01:29:56.000 --> 01:29:59.920 that college. I think it's Columbia for serious money damages. You have run 1210 01:30:00.279 --> 01:30:04.439 gains is to hide out in storage clausets because of the left on college campuses 1211 01:30:04.520 --> 01:30:10.439 attacking and eliminating freedom of speech, and the leaders were the adults. Vanderbilt 1212 01:30:10.560 --> 01:30:15.159 University expelled two students, and Vanderbilt, by the way, is in Tennessee, 1213 01:30:15.239 --> 01:30:20.359 for God's sakes. But Vanderbilt expelled two students and reprimanded ten more for 1214 01:30:20.840 --> 01:30:27.880 physically intimidating those with whom they disagreed. What happened on college campuses to the 1215 01:30:28.000 --> 01:30:31.439 freedom of speech movement on what happened on every major college campus. It has 1216 01:30:31.600 --> 01:30:36.720 been the First Amendment has destroyed what happened. You know, it kills you 1217 01:30:36.800 --> 01:30:41.800 are further than that, you know, these universities also receiving tax of funds 1218 01:30:42.520 --> 01:30:45.720 as well. I They're like millions, millions of dollars. And so not 1219 01:30:45.880 --> 01:30:51.399 only are the American students seemed subject to this gross of the schooled Texastopian environment 1220 01:30:51.479 --> 01:30:55.680 on college campuses, but then the American people are also having to pay for 1221 01:30:55.760 --> 01:31:00.640 it as well. I mean it has utter insult. It is utter insult. 1222 01:31:00.880 --> 01:31:02.680 I mean, you know, I went I went to the George Washington 1223 01:31:02.800 --> 01:31:06.199 University. I attended there myself, a very left wing university. And you 1224 01:31:06.279 --> 01:31:10.399 know what I was told there, like as far as like from the conservatives 1225 01:31:10.399 --> 01:31:13.720 on campus. And you know the advice I was giving argue like a liberal, 1226 01:31:13.800 --> 01:31:15.000 think like a conservative. In other words, if you want to survive 1227 01:31:15.039 --> 01:31:18.960 as a conservative on these campuses, you need to argue like you're a liberal, 1228 01:31:19.119 --> 01:31:23.760 but maintain your conservative principle that's supposedly how you define. That's pathetic. 1229 01:31:24.159 --> 01:31:29.520 That's pathetic that people who either support Israel or have conservative principles literally have to 1230 01:31:29.600 --> 01:31:32.319 live in the shadows just so that they can survive the university and college campuses. 1231 01:31:32.640 --> 01:31:35.520 It is utter insanity, and that's why the American people need to be 1232 01:31:35.640 --> 01:31:39.520 vigilant. You have an election coming up. You should take all of this 1233 01:31:39.600 --> 01:31:43.520 stuff, whether it be big tech censorship, whether it be the extraordinary media 1234 01:31:43.560 --> 01:31:45.920 bias, whether it be with this NPR thing, whether it be what's happening 1235 01:31:45.960 --> 01:31:49.479 in college campuses, the inflation thing. Take all that which you're going into 1236 01:31:49.520 --> 01:31:54.680 the ballot box in November, and remember that this is what your society is 1237 01:31:54.800 --> 01:31:58.159 doing against you. And unless you make your voices hurt, it will get 1238 01:31:58.439 --> 01:32:02.119 only worse. Of Orange Man Bad, Orange Man Bad, don't pay attention 1239 01:32:02.199 --> 01:32:05.479 to him. Ninety three percent of the coverage of Donald Trump is negative, 1240 01:32:05.520 --> 01:32:09.840 and it's vicious and it's personal. The only hope we have is to elect 1241 01:32:09.880 --> 01:32:13.560 the Trumpster in November, have a vice president that could serve eight more years 1242 01:32:13.600 --> 01:32:17.960 after that, to institutionalize the constitution, institutionalized freedom of religion, freedom of 1243 01:32:18.000 --> 01:32:21.640 speech. I did not think as a great American in the year twenty twenty 1244 01:32:21.680 --> 01:32:25.399 four. I have to be on talk radio. I've been here for forty 1245 01:32:25.520 --> 01:32:30.279 years talking about freedom of speech on a college campus or freedom of religion on 1246 01:32:30.359 --> 01:32:34.319 a college campus. I'm thinking what I would think that is so ingrained in 1247 01:32:34.439 --> 01:32:39.479 the hearts and souls of the American people. I don't have to talk about 1248 01:32:39.520 --> 01:32:43.479 that because the bastions of freedom of speech and freedom of religion, freedom of 1249 01:32:43.479 --> 01:32:47.119 assembly have got to be on college campuses. But the opposite has happened. 1250 01:32:48.119 --> 01:32:53.960 It's unbelievable. Well, it is unbelievable. It is unbelievable. You know 1251 01:32:54.079 --> 01:32:56.920 all else said it best, he said, this is the goal of the 1252 01:32:57.000 --> 01:33:00.000 tyrant, this is the goal of the dystopian fanatics. Will be complete when 1253 01:33:00.039 --> 01:33:04.119 the language is perfect. That is the goal of the leftus so that everyone 1254 01:33:04.199 --> 01:33:08.520 starts thinking the same, speaking the same, so that they could be more 1255 01:33:08.600 --> 01:33:12.479 easily manipulated. But where are our country of diverse thinking people? And that 1256 01:33:12.680 --> 01:33:15.520 is what makes America free, that we have differences of opinion. But the 1257 01:33:15.600 --> 01:33:17.680 left want such silence everybody and is willing to use force to do so. 1258 01:33:18.880 --> 01:33:25.680 Joseph Vosquez, of course of MRC Media Research Center. My good friend Brent 1259 01:33:25.800 --> 01:33:29.640 bozell I watched him a few days ago with the great one Mark Levan. 1260 01:33:29.760 --> 01:33:33.119 It was wonderful and once again, Joseph Ozquez, thank you for coming on 1261 01:33:33.199 --> 01:33:36.000 the Bill Cunningham Show.

And it worries me that we'll get 1263 01:33:40.840 --> 01:33:45.399 the government we deserve, and that worries me. But Joseph, thank you 1264 01:33:45.520 --> 01:33:47.079 very much for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And Joseph, you're a 1265 01:33:47.119 --> 01:33:50.840 great America. Thank you, Thank you.

And what he's saying is so true. 1267 01:33:56.359 --> 01:33:59.760 Think about what's happened to this country. And Trump may be the catalyst. 1268 01:34:00.199 --> 01:34:03.039 The Trumpster will come and go, but the rights being abused by each 1269 01:34:03.119 --> 01:34:08.920 American shall remain.

Where were you for the White Bronco Chase? 1300 01:36:58.399 --> 01:37:01.960 And when yours an nine ninety four? So I believe I was in 1301 01:37:02.159 --> 01:37:09.319 Paduca, Kentucky at a baseball tournament. What okay? Duke Kentucky baseball tournament 1302 01:37:09.439 --> 01:37:12.600 with knuckles, which is kind of a precursor to Midland. Yes, we 1303 01:37:12.720 --> 01:37:15.479 played, and usually after, you know, after a tournament game, everyone 1304 01:37:15.560 --> 01:37:19.479 kind of hangs around and parentsher and cold beers, and after the game somebody's 1305 01:37:19.520 --> 01:37:23.359 like, hey, we all got to get back to the hotel. Oj 1306 01:37:23.600 --> 01:37:27.760 is in a white Bronco flying down the Highway. There's a helicopter chase and 1307 01:37:27.800 --> 01:37:31.439 he's threatened to shoot himself. So everyone piling the cars and hart ass back 1308 01:37:31.479 --> 01:37:34.359 to the hotel we are staying at and we just sat and watched it, 1309 01:37:34.520 --> 01:37:38.439 like the whole entire night. It was the most Again, I was fourteen 1310 01:37:38.560 --> 01:37:45.159 years old and I remember it like it was yesterday. Bronco and what I 1311 01:37:45.279 --> 01:37:47.800 thought. I was here at the station and it's amazing because that was before 1312 01:37:48.119 --> 01:37:51.079 social media and before internet and any of that. But it was just the 1313 01:37:51.159 --> 01:37:54.239 word that got around. It's like, we got to get back to the 1314 01:37:54.279 --> 01:37:58.159 hotel and watch this. Well, they interrupted the NBA Finals and everything, 1315 01:37:58.239 --> 01:38:00.479 right, I mean they everybody went to it. There was like what five 1316 01:38:00.560 --> 01:38:03.880 thousand police cars behind him, and you know, Jews don't do it, 1317 01:38:04.000 --> 01:38:09.319 Jews don't do it. I'm living at seventy two forty three Camargo Woods and 1318 01:38:09.399 --> 01:38:14.680 I'm watching the NBA Finals and stay right in drop out of the NBA Finals 1319 01:38:15.399 --> 01:38:19.159 for the White Bronco chase with oj He isn't making that call. We got 1320 01:38:19.199 --> 01:38:21.600 the NBA Final with a lot of people watching this. Wait, we got 1321 01:38:21.720 --> 01:38:25.800 to go to this. We gotta go OJT right now. The NBC News 1322 01:38:25.880 --> 01:38:30.119 go ahead. Now, Also you had more information, Rock about Otani's interpreter. 1323 01:38:30.560 --> 01:38:32.520 Tell the Rock the new information. Get us into the studio. We 1324 01:38:32.600 --> 01:38:35.399 want to ask him some questions. Well, they the student reporters a pro 1325 01:38:35.560 --> 01:38:42.479 service over local Tamestar heating and air conditioning dealers. Tamestar quality you can feel 1326 01:38:42.520 --> 01:38:45.560 in Southwest Ohio called better choice heating and cool to get five one, three, 1327 01:38:45.840 --> 01:38:49.640 eight, six, eight, thirty three eighty eight. Tell them about 1328 01:38:49.680 --> 01:38:55.960 o'tanni now, the former interpreter for Shoey Otani is now accused of stealing over 1329 01:38:56.199 --> 01:39:01.239 sixteen million dollars from the Dodgers Star for ille Go gambling purposes. According to 1330 01:39:01.319 --> 01:39:04.880 the FEDS, Now I mean to deal with a bookmaker in California. Everything 1331 01:39:04.960 --> 01:39:09.800 is legal, I guess, except sports betting. They have to pay cash. 1332 01:39:09.960 --> 01:39:13.560 They don't take checks. How do you get sixteen million dollars in cash 1333 01:39:13.600 --> 01:39:17.479 out of the bank. According to the FBI, that the interpreter would speak 1334 01:39:17.600 --> 01:39:24.159 in Otani's tones to his private banker, telling him that the interpreters coming down 1335 01:39:24.199 --> 01:39:26.840 to get some cash. Just give him whatever he wants. And it was 1336 01:39:26.920 --> 01:39:30.479 the interpreter calling the bank usually make his voice sound like he was a tan. 1337 01:39:30.640 --> 01:39:33.319 I mean, could you tell one Japanese dude from another. Absolutely not 1338 01:39:33.479 --> 01:39:38.239 not. And so then he would show up and get piles of cash to 1339 01:39:38.359 --> 01:39:42.319 take tags of cash. It's like mags of cash. So you miss sixteen 1340 01:39:42.399 --> 01:39:45.000 million. I don't know. If you're a baseball player, you know. 1341 01:39:45.119 --> 01:39:48.279 I know plenty of athletes I've played with a ton of in my life that 1342 01:39:48.399 --> 01:39:51.399 didn't know anything about their bank accounts. For better or for worse, They 1343 01:39:53.239 --> 01:39:55.720 I don't know. They assume they know they got a lot of money, 1344 01:39:56.239 --> 01:39:59.520 but to keep track of every penny like a lot of people do, absolutely 1345 01:39:59.560 --> 01:40:01.680 not. Young people know he's in his seventh year. The first three years 1346 01:40:01.760 --> 01:40:05.000 he made the minimum. Yeah, so, but he had all these other 1347 01:40:05.079 --> 01:40:08.920 indeators. That is not out of the realm of possibility at all that he 1348 01:40:09.039 --> 01:40:13.239 didn't keep track of his finances. None of those athletes too. Like I 1349 01:40:13.319 --> 01:40:15.279 play baseball, That's what I do. I have people that watch after my 1350 01:40:15.359 --> 01:40:18.800 money. And he trusted the wrong person. Sick, that's for sure. 1351 01:40:18.920 --> 01:40:23.560 Did anyone have access to your accounts? Stealing recy cups and the ho hos? 1352 01:40:24.560 --> 01:40:27.880 But he isn't a guy. He's known for forever and probably spent more 1353 01:40:28.000 --> 01:40:32.039 time with than any single person on Earth has found out to be stealing money 1354 01:40:32.079 --> 01:40:33.960 from him. You know, it reminds me of a story. There's a 1355 01:40:34.039 --> 01:40:36.760 guy, a guy I knows, a family friend, and his family owned 1356 01:40:36.880 --> 01:40:41.479 a pizza store in Lawrenceburg for the longest time, and he had this woman 1357 01:40:41.560 --> 01:40:44.760 that worked for him like thirty something years, and she was like the right 1358 01:40:44.840 --> 01:40:47.000 hand woman. You know, everyone loved her. She was great, and 1359 01:40:47.119 --> 01:40:53.039 he retired. They had a big party for and then like after she retired, 1360 01:40:53.239 --> 01:40:55.079 you know, and the subsequent weeks they're knowing, like, Kyle, 1361 01:40:55.119 --> 01:40:58.399 we're making like another fifteen hundred bucks a week. What the hell is going 1362 01:40:58.399 --> 01:41:01.880 on with this? Oh? Oh yeah, you work there for twenty five 1363 01:41:02.000 --> 01:41:05.840 thirty years? Is she and the jointerer? She's coming off the top? 1364 01:41:05.960 --> 01:41:11.239 Huh. I can't say a lot of mozrell. You trust a lot of 1365 01:41:11.319 --> 01:41:14.840 people and they put on a smiling face and they could be robbing you. 1366 01:41:15.680 --> 01:41:19.159 I live with one. I'm married to her. Yeah, but wait a 1367 01:41:19.279 --> 01:41:23.680 minute, that'll that'll get the fight going tonight. That the little rocks will 1368 01:41:23.720 --> 01:41:28.199 be the fight.

Hopefully he suffered for months and died 1431 01:45:51.119 --> 01:45:54.920 a horrible death. Did he leave a note? Is there a note or 1432 01:45:54.960 --> 01:45:59.159 a diary? They may have scribbled in as he was taking his last breath 1433 01:45:59.239 --> 01:46:02.800 before he goes to sit beside Luke Satan for the rest of his existence. 1434 01:46:03.000 --> 01:46:05.720 Well, I think he's still looking for the guy. He was trying to 1435 01:46:05.760 --> 01:46:11.039 find him in golf courses, casinos, brothels couldn't find them, saw him 1436 01:46:11.079 --> 01:46:14.279 in the in the Bahamas looking for a guy years ago. Do you retaell 1437 01:46:14.319 --> 01:46:17.640 that story all the time back? I just wanted my personal things and I 1438 01:46:17.800 --> 01:46:21.760 realized I was stupid of me.

I mean it's still from any flock. Yes, he did in 1441 01:46:29.680 --> 01:46:33.119 two thousand and seven hotel robbery. Eddie Fingers, my good partner, Eddie 1442 01:46:33.119 --> 01:46:36.600 Fingers, doesn't get fired up about about much. He's pretty even keel. 1443 01:46:36.760 --> 01:46:41.800 But when you mentioned Ojay Simpson in that trial and what do you did to 1444 01:46:41.840 --> 01:46:45.319 those two people? The dead man goes through the roof. I love it. 1445 01:46:45.640 --> 01:46:50.000 One little sidelight after the trial, the Yidman and I Kevin Christopher were 1446 01:46:50.039 --> 01:46:54.319 there along with the wild Man. They had a party that night. The 1447 01:46:54.439 --> 01:46:57.800 verdict was in the afternoon, like at noon or one o'clock, and OJ 1448 01:46:58.039 --> 01:47:01.119 threw a big party. It was three to ten rocking gam. Just came 1449 01:47:01.199 --> 01:47:03.720 to me, three ten rocking gam. If you've been there, it was 1450 01:47:03.800 --> 01:47:06.680 like three acres of big hedges in front, had a gate in front, 1451 01:47:08.439 --> 01:47:13.680 and the lapd which covered for OJ Simpson for years and all the times he 1452 01:47:13.800 --> 01:47:16.960 beat up his wife, terrorized her, black and blue, broken bones, 1453 01:47:17.039 --> 01:47:20.479 broken teeth, beat the crap out of her on a regular basis before he 1454 01:47:20.920 --> 01:47:28.840 decapitated her. Three or four jurors joined OJ to celebrate the verdict in his 1455 01:47:28.960 --> 01:47:31.680 home. You're kidding, Oh oh? Is that public knowledge? Yes? 1456 01:47:31.800 --> 01:47:38.319 And the lapd escored at the jurors to OJ Simpson's house. And I'm looking 1457 01:47:38.359 --> 01:47:43.560 at this and I'm going this is payback for Rodney King and the verdict that 1458 01:47:43.920 --> 01:47:47.760 was the centerpiece of the whole entire case at Johnny Cocker. And that's if 1459 01:47:47.800 --> 01:47:51.439 you watch, if anybody out there listening, go back now and watch the 1460 01:47:51.720 --> 01:48:00.880 ESPN documentary OJ Simpson.

Is the best documentary have No Question? 1462 01:48:04.600 --> 01:48:08.520 Made in America or something something like some of that effect. That could be 1463 01:48:08.640 --> 01:48:14.399 OJ right there calling me from justice, Joe calling me from hell. But 1464 01:48:14.680 --> 01:48:16.840 uh, we'll see what happens. But what's exclusive? What's on the big 1465 01:48:16.880 --> 01:48:20.399 show today? If anything made? Yeah? OJ made in America? Yeah, 1466 01:48:20.840 --> 01:48:25.119 six part series, absolutely fascinating. One of the jurors, this African 1467 01:48:25.159 --> 01:48:29.199 American woman at the end, oh yeah, at least says yeah, I 1468 01:48:29.359 --> 01:48:32.840 remember that. Yeah. Basically, in so many words, that was retribution 1469 01:48:32.960 --> 01:48:36.560 for Rodney King. And we got our justice. That's we got our justice. 1470 01:48:36.560 --> 01:48:41.000 We we as we and what about our And it's like, how can 1471 01:48:41.079 --> 01:48:45.399 that person just sit there and say that unbelievable.

We're going to share his thoughts on the 1474 01:48:51.239 --> 01:48:55.399 case and all that on the OJ case back in the ninety four there, 1475 01:48:56.119 --> 01:49:00.399 Uh, we're a fitness guy PJ.

Well, the other 1477 01:49:03.119 --> 01:49:08.399 thing that that that game played between the Dodgers and the Reds was the last 1478 01:49:08.479 --> 01:49:12.600 time the Reds won a postseason series? Was the O. J. Simpson 1479 01:49:13.000 --> 01:49:15.840 verdict against a decade now that he is dead, is that it's a good 1480 01:49:15.880 --> 01:49:18.520 sign. And that's a good sign. It's been cursed for a long time 1481 01:49:18.960 --> 01:49:23.680 since nineteen ninety five. They had a five game series against the Dodgers, 1482 01:49:23.720 --> 01:49:27.279 the red swept them, then got swept by the Braves. Was the Red 1483 01:49:27.359 --> 01:49:30.800 signe who had the goat? Was that the curse of the well? That 1484 01:49:30.039 --> 01:49:35.600 was chicaggo Icago. In fact, I met in Chicago with Harry Carey. 1485 01:49:36.079 --> 01:49:40.680 It was the black Goat and all that stuff. Remember Harry Carry. Awesome, 1486 01:49:40.720 --> 01:49:46.279 course, maybe these come over here, come over here, honey. 1487 01:49:46.319 --> 01:49:49.560 I can't say that on the air, But if you can pay money, 1488 01:49:50.119 --> 01:49:54.760 what would you pay to get marg shot and Harry Carey in her room together 1489 01:49:55.039 --> 01:49:59.000 and just just listen to him talk? I mean how much would you pay? 1490 01:50:00.920 --> 01:50:03.560 That would have been Hello again everyone, this is Harry Carry. I'd 1491 01:50:03.600 --> 01:50:09.279 be absolutely unbelievable. He would drive his limo with Ernie over to Willis and 1492 01:50:09.319 --> 01:50:12.359 Covington and I'd meet him over there and sit at the end of the bar. 1493 01:50:12.680 --> 01:50:15.720 Harry carry hello. And he would say things to women that would somewhat 1494 01:50:15.760 --> 01:50:23.239 inappropriate. What I've heard curl your hair and I laughed. And but Marge 1495 01:50:23.279 --> 01:50:27.119 shot she kind of drink in private, she was, But Harry was out 1496 01:50:27.159 --> 01:50:30.880 in front of him saying, he put a cocktail each of your hands in 1497 01:50:30.000 --> 01:50:33.439 a smoke, and just just let him talk about life and how they look. 1498 01:50:33.560 --> 01:50:36.000 Everyone. This is Harry Heart a red light on and let him have 1499 01:50:36.119 --> 01:50:41.239 it. It'll make him like that, don't you know. It's a freeze 1500 01:50:41.319 --> 01:50:45.119 dried world. All right. That's it, and then we'll see what Mike 1501 01:50:45.199 --> 01:50:48.520 Allen has to say about O. J. Simpson and the pits of Hell 1502 01:50:48.640 --> 01:50:53.479 right now, assuming he didn't repent. I assume he didn't because he's still 1503 01:50:53.520 --> 01:50:55.760 looking for the murderer. As of a year ago, you're still looking, 1504 01:50:56.479 --> 01:50:59.880 haven't found him yet. Can you tell me he left something in a die 1505 01:51:00.159 --> 01:51:02.640 he's somewhere that said, you know what, I'm dead and gone. Here's 1506 01:51:02.680 --> 01:51:06.520 what went down. He left Ron Goldman's blood on the pedals of his of 1507 01:51:06.640 --> 01:51:10.960 his vehicle. How did that get The jury said that didn't happen, didn't 1508 01:51:10.960 --> 01:51:15.079 happen. No, that wasn't how it No Furman planted it right, yes, 1509 01:51:15.359 --> 01:51:19.279 yeah, I understand. Yeah, not Andy Furman, Mark Furman, 1510 01:51:19.479 --> 01:51:25.720 Mark Furman. I don't want Andy Furman did not plan anything, no segment. 1511 01:51:25.760 --> 01:51:28.199 Get me out of the stud's report. Police will he and otter of 1512 01:51:28.279 --> 01:51:30.359 a rainy day here in the Tri State. That's why we're here. We 1513 01:51:30.520 --> 01:51:33.319 leave you, that's right, We leave you with the immortal words of the 1514 01:51:33.479 --> 01:51:39.000 Stewode report. But we think that our ballot issue has a lot better chances 1515 01:51:39.119 --> 01:51:45.319 than the red bull tent does of actually getting someone out. Our ballot initiative. 1516 01:51:45.399 --> 01:51:50.520 Who is that, Dave? Was that that's a ballot trying to get 1517 01:51:50.560 --> 01:51:56.119 somebody out? I don't know. Hunter Green can't get anybody out. Got 1518 01:51:56.119 --> 01:51:58.600 all the talent in the world, but no result. Him around like it 1519 01:51:58.680 --> 01:52:01.119 was phoning it underhand. Last I thought he was thought he was Bob Gibson 1520 01:52:01.159 --> 01:52:04.800 and said he pitches like Debbie Gibson. I thought I had Bob Gibson. 1521 01:52:04.840 --> 01:52:10.680 There's one right there there, you got Debbie Gibson. Come on six icon, 1522 01:52:10.880 --> 01:52:15.399 Debbie Gibson. It's one hundred miles an hour. Guess what can well? 1523 01:52:15.640 --> 01:52:16.640 His record this year is zero and one. We had you know, 1524 01:52:16.800 --> 01:52:21.640 we had a good conversation yesterday about baseball and what pitchers in particular need to 1525 01:52:21.720 --> 01:52:26.279 do. And you drink more beer, smoke more cigarettes, and work out 1526 01:52:26.399 --> 01:52:31.359 less and throw the ball more, eat ribs and quit having uh alfalfa sprouts 1527 01:52:31.399 --> 01:52:36.319 and uh broccoli protein shakes and electure like Joe du Saw smoke cigarettes and drank 1528 01:52:36.399 --> 01:52:41.039 beer. How was he just dealt delt one hundred four times a week. 1529 01:52:41.319 --> 01:52:45.479 He's a Donnis good. No relievers back then, hardly. No, here's 1530 01:52:45.520 --> 01:52:46.800 the ball. We'll see you in the ninth or tenth. Things right, 1531 01:52:46.880 --> 01:52:48.800 and if you if you don't get him out, you better figure it out 1532 01:52:48.880 --> 01:52:54.439 quick, no matter what happened anymore, right, pampered and pampers? Are 1533 01:52:54.520 --> 01:52:57.840 you out of pampers yet? Oh? We are, absolutely that's good. 1534 01:52:57.960 --> 01:53:00.800 But if anybody out there within the sound of my boy has a green tea 1535 01:53:00.840 --> 01:53:04.600 ball jersey with Harrison on the front of it, I will pay for it 1536 01:53:04.880 --> 01:53:09.159 handsomely.
