All right, Billy cunning in the Great American Reds Baseball postponed to August at
thirtieth, at twelve forty. Information on the Reds website about how if you
want to see some other game during the season, that's certainly possible. That'll
be a twilight doubleheader with the Brewers the end of August. And we move
on from there, and uh, we have later on income tax expert coming
up. I know mo Iger pay pays lots of money income taxes. He
wants to know where does he fit on the on the schedules. Moe Eggar,
Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Mo how are you?
I'm doing great, Bill, how are you good? I want to get
your remembrances of one O. J. Simpson and so much more. As
you know, I had one brief running with OJ Simpson with my golfing friends
and was there for the verdict is this. I'm watching the national news left
and right. It's the lead story everywhere. OJ Simpson dead at the age
of seventy six head prostate cancer. Your remembrances of O. J. Simpson?
He killed two people, comprehensible human being. He beat his wife and
then he killed her and then he killed Ron Goldman, and the jury may
say otherwise. But as someone who sides with common sense, I think the
world is free of one less murderer. I understand he was an iconic football
player. I don't care. As far as I'm concerned, the world is
free of one less reprehensible human being. O. J. Simpson was a
reprehensible human being unless they profoundly accepted responsibilities for what he did and made things
right with God Ol Mahdi. He's riding in hell in hell as I speak,
one incident mode. You want to hear my run in with OJ Simpson.
Absolutely. It was the late nineteen nineties and I was at the rub
In the Emerald Esper Major in the Bahamas. It was a flight from Cincinnati
right to Freeport. It was wonderful. I was with the great Bartosik also
known as Mike Bartosic, as you might know, was a tied end for
what he hayes five, about two hundred and fifty pounds. I was with
Mike McCall, a great Xavier basketball player six foot six, you know,
Mike about two hundred and thirty pounds. And Wayne Carucci, who was an
MMA boxer now owns a trucking company, so we worried. The four of
us are down there and we'll go up to number one t on the Emerald.
And we're sitting there and I'm getting the scorecard together. They get strokes,
who gets strokes? What's your handicapped? And I could send somebody pulled
up a foot for me. I'm driving the cart right next to me.
Now I look over and there's O. J. Simpson by himself in the
cart about three feet. And I spent the last five years of my life
talking about Johnny Cochran and about Nicole, and about Ron Goldman, about the
knife. I was there for the verdict because the Reds were playing the Dodgers
at Chavez Ravine in the playoff game nineteen ninety five. I was with the
Yidman and Kevin Christopher and Segment and wild Man Walker. We were covering the
Reds and I look, I said, Juice, and he reaches his hand
and he said, but how you doing man? I said, I'm doing
well. He said you got four and I said, yeah, how many
of you guys? He said we only have three? And they were behind
this and I said, well, why don't you guys go ahead. So
he pulls about twenty feet away from me, gets out of the cart.
He's shaking the hands of the Great Bartosi, and he shaking the hands of
Mike McCall and Wayne Carucci. And he's two playing partners. Whore they are.
Those guys are huge too. And I'm sitting there watching this scene,
and I'm getting more and more pissed off. I'm thinking, here's this guy
that just beat his wife almost to death, repeatedly abused her, hurt her,
and then slices her, decapitates her and Ron Goldman because he thought she
was dating some other guy. And I can only assume he thought the other
guy was Ron Goldman, who neither party knew. And so I'm watching this
for five or ten minutes. There could not been a guy with more personality
and more of effervescent other people from the Punting Green would come over. O
JJ jews, she's getting pictures taken. I said, this is ridiculous.
So, because I was with these other three guys, I walked up to
him and I said, Juice, by the way, who'd you kill first?
Because I think you probably you probably stabbed Ron Goldman and incapacitated this guy.
And I've had on Ron Goldman's father who wrote a book, A Wonderful
Man, and also his attorney, Ron Goldman's attorney, and then Nicole.
And because I think you had the larger mail, it was dark. It
was a greton, the green. You had to kill her first, and
then you knew you could always handle the cole because she was a woman.
And suddenly he went from joyous and happy, called me every rotten mf name
of the book, and got on the t and went on. And Mike
McCall says to me, we better let those guys get a whole ahead of
us, and I said, and so they're laughing, And so we made
sure we stayed well back. A few hours go by, we finish up
with golf, and they had a nice little casino there. We used to
go down to March and ben on the baskets and I'm at the bar with
my guys, and I can see Oj about thirty yards away holding court at
the end to the bar, and he's with beautiful women. Everyone there wanted
to and Wayne Crouch he says to me, Willie, you better get the
hell out of here. I said, no, no, crap, said
he might have a knife on him. So I slowly slinked my way off
to the side, went back to my room, double locked the door,
and stayed there. That's my that's my brush with greatness. Smart man.
You know, as a singular cultural event, I'm not sure we've had anything
over the last thirty years like the Bronco Chase June seventeenth, nineteen ninety four,
running concurrent with Game five of the NBA Finals. We do sometimes,
you know, topics like the events that you wish Twitter would have been around
for, social media would have been around for, And there's a few of
them, but number one for me is always the Ojsipson Bronco Chase. You
ask anybody, and obviously if you're you know, thirty years old or thirty
five years old or younger, you have no recollection of this. I was
just wrapping up my junior year in high school. I could tell you what
I was doing, who I was with, what jokes were being made,
what we were all thinking, and then what the fifteen months later, sixteen
months later, October third, nineteen ninety five, my eighteenth birthday, the
OJ Simpson Verdict. I don't know that we have had anything since that has
frozen the country. We've obviously had huge news stories, lots of things have
happened in politics, but at whatever time that was, I think it was
right around nine o'clock am Pacific time, so noon year, the country froze
to listen to a verdict, and then obviously we had the aftermath of it.
I don't know that there's been two singular events like that over the last
three decades, and so I certainly do remember that entire ordeal, that entire
trial. I remember all the characters that emerged, Kato Kalin, Judge,
Edo, Marsha kl There have been some The ESPN five part documentary that came
out in twenty fifteen was terrific. The FX mini series was really well done,
and obviously, as a sports guy, there's a sports component here.
But I just my first thought was when I saw the news this morning,
is the world is free of one left killer? Because you cannot convince me.
I followed that trial obsessively. You cannot convince me that he didn't kill
those two people. And you know, I read that he was surrounded by
his children and his grandchildren, and my first thought was he was surrounded by
children whose mother he killed. And there might be people who objected me saying,
then I don't care. I think he was a murderer. I think
he was an awful human being. And he is if you believe his I
do. He is rotting in hell right now. The verdict we're out there
for three or four days, the yid Man and I and Kevin christenpher and
Sagan and wild Man was announced that night. The verdict would be the next
day at the La Criminal Courts building, which was like a ten block walk
from where we were staying. I say to the yid Man, why don't
we go over there see what happens. So we put our REDS credentials around
our neck and they allowed the media to get real close to the entryway of
the LA County Courthouse. I don't know, I don't know if you ever
if you've ever been there, but there's like a slight little bridge, and
there's three stories below the bridge. You can look down and see three stories
of the building and seven stories straight up. And so we used our REDS
credential to get into the media part and Steve Garvey shows up, who's La
Dodger's first baseman, with his beautiful wife, and they got donuts. They're
handing out donuts to the media. I took it. I said, hey,
Steve, I'll take a donut. So we're waiting and across the street
we're twenty four well armed cops on these large horses and they had the heads
of the horses and sides with armor on the horses. Behind those behind that
barrier was like a thousand supporters of OJ Simpson and they got a free juice,
free juice, you know all that stuff. We wait at about an
hour, meeting a dona. Here comes Steve Garby, Here comes some other
celebrities, some movie stars, and they walk into the court to the court
house, and we stood outside with the media, and this one cop says
to us. He say, hey, look, you guys in the media.
If this verdict is guilty and those thousand people come this way, you
have nowhere to go. And I'm looking behind me. This a fence and
behind me is thirty feet straight down. He said, you can't go forward,
that's where the mob's going to be. You can't go backwards. You
might think about leaving. So I say to the yidd men were here,
Let's see what happens. And I said, if necessary we can run into
the courthouse or maybe I don't know what to do. So they had the
loud speakers out. He's found not guilty, and suddenly in downtown Los Angeles
there was a party breakout. There was singing and dancing and and uh line
dancing and and the and the cops were happy because they couldn't deal with that
crowd. There was too many of them. And then later that day we
went out to that Messaluna restaurant where Ron Goldman worked, made their way over
to Rockingham where OJ lived, and UH got a taxi about three blocks away,
walked in there, and the jurors in his case, the actual juror
members in OJ Simpson's murder case, were being escorted into his house by the
police. The jurors of the They went to his house to party with OJ
that night, and I'm thinking, what the hell? And now they've knocked
down, you know, the three ten Rockingham has been knocked down. And
Uh. Then later he was indicted in Las Vegas for some BS charges about
Memorabiley. He served like eleven years in jail. That was justice. He
was sued and his pension was not attachable, and he sold his Heisman Trophy.
He was held in contempt for that, and we move on. But
as you say, there's no cultural event at least the last forty or fifty
years, because it went on for years and continues to go on until today.
But O J. Simpson is dead and may he rot in hell.
Now. Secondly, I didn't want to talk to you about O. J.
Simpson at all. But do you want to feel you're going to segue
to the Reds, aren't you? Hunter Green? Okay? Do you want
to feel depressed? So you were in Los Angeles for the OJ verdict?
You were there because the Reds were in Los Angeles. That series is the
last time the Reds advanced in the postseason. I think they swept the Dodgers,
didn't They win four straight, beat them three straight backs out of five.
Yeah. Yeah. They beat him one games one and two out there
and then beat him here eleven to one. Body Mark Lewis Grand Slam in
Game three. If somebody had told me in nineteen ninety five in October that's
the last time to reach and win a postseason series, I would have said
that's impossible. Because the Reds of seventy five, seventy six and ninety.
They won twenty percent of all World Series games between nineteen seven of World Series
rings between seventy five and nineteen ninety. Even today, they have a nine
game winning streak in the World Series. They won the last game of seventy
five and then swept the Yankees and swept the bash Boys. They got a
nine game winning streak now six years, fifty three million dollars for one hundred
Green and I kind of know what's wrong with him. But the problem is
he doesn't look like Bob Gibson. He looks like Ronnie Gibson. He can't
pitch, he can't win. Has he won two games in a row the
past three years? I would think not. What's wrong with Hunter Green.
He's not reliable. He is uber talented, he has an electric arm.
I don't know if he doesn't trust his secondary pitches. I don't know if
he has yet to perfect his secondary pitches. But I see a thrower,
not a pitcher. And look, there are moments where he can panalize.
Right. He pitched very well last Friday in a game the Red loss against
the New York Mets. But what he hasn't been able to do on a
consistent basis is take one start and make it two consecutive starts, and then
making it three consecutive starts and then making it, you know, five good
starts out of six. And that's until he's able to do that. To
me, that the label that he has to wear is unreliable. You don't
know what you're going to get. You cannot count on him, And I
would, I would, I would buy stock and Hunter Greens from the standpoint,
and I think he'll get there at some point. But if the idea
for the twenty twenty four Reds is to to get to the postseason and advance
in the postseason, that can't happen without better, consistent, more reliable starting
pitching. And they're not going to get better, more consistent, reliable starting
pitching if Hunter Green maintains a lack of reliability. Has he given any indications
the past three seasons he's reliable. No. Now again, there are flashes.
I mean, he had a game last September against the Minnesota Twins.
He struck out fourteen guys and seven I think it's most strikeouts by any Reds
pitcher in the game since two thousand. He had the game against Pittsburgh in
twenty twenty to where he threw an eight inning no hitter. He took a
no hitter into the sixth inning in the game last year against the Mets,
and again this past Friday. I thought he looked as locked in as I've
seen him. But you know, most pitchers can do things like that in
a window, and in fact, they can do that occasionally. Hunter Green
was drafted in twenty seventeen with the idea that he would be a guy that
could give you that on you know, a twenty five twenty six time a
year basis, where you give the ball to him and you feel like,
you know what, we're winning tonight because Hunter Green's on the mount. That's
when an ace is to me, right, no matter what happened the day
before, no matter what's going on with your team, we're giving the ball
to this guy. We are winning tonight. When Hunter Green gets the ball,
your gas is as good as mine. As what you're gonna get.
You may get a very good start. He certainly has had a boatload of
them. You may get a start like last night where it looks like he's
throwing batting practice. You might get a start like we've seen before where it
takes him, you know, one hundred pitches to get through four four plus
innings. You don't know what you're going to get. And until you have
a general idea of what a hundred green starter is going to look like,
I think the skepticism that he has brought on is going to continue, and
it's setified. He's only twenty four years old, but he's an old twenty
four And you know, last night I'm watching Wade Miley. Deal had not
even half the stuff of Hunter Green. Wade Miley former Red look pretty damn
good. Only pitch four innings been hurt. But I said, that guy's
pretty good. Plus it wouldn't have cost fifty three million dollars. His era
now is a four point eighty six and his whip, you know, I
live and die with whip when it comes to pitching, which is walks and
hits per inning. His whip is one point two. So every inning,
over six innings, they're gonna have nine base runners. And his problem is
location and movement. And you can throw ninety nine right down the middle of
the plate. I don't care that ball is going going north in a hurry.
Why can't the reds get some movement, and why can't he get rid
of the location over the middle of the plight. Yeah, look, I
mean I don't know that I've put that on the red. At some point
he's gonna have to develop secondary pitches that compliment the fastball, and if the
fastball is not moving, it's gonna amplify the lack of other pitches in his
arsenal. You know, this spring we read a lot about how he was
learning a split singer fastball, and he was perfecting his curve ball, and
last spring it was, well, he's working on a change up. All
of that is great. I don't know if he trusts those pitches enough to
throw them in dig count. And you're right, his fastball, boy,
its straight is an arrow sometimes, and big league hitters are going to tee
off on that. Now. Look, last night was either his forty eighth
or forty ninth big league start, which is basically a season and a half
worth of major league starts. He was held back by the fact that he
didn't pitch in competitive situations in the kovid year of twenty twenty. He did
have Tommy John surgery, and so yeah, he's an old twenty four,
but he has appeared and left and fifty big league games at the same time.
You know, these many starts in we're saying the same things about Hunter
Green that we were saying in his first collection of starts. We're waiting to
see it on a consistent basis, and if we don't this year, then
you have a hard time convincing me that this staff as a whole can be
as good as it's needed to be for this team to be as good as
we hope it is. I think you said, or maybe it might have
been Lance, that this team is going to go as far this year as
Hunter Green will take it. Is that true? I think they're going to
go as far as their young guys are going to take it, and Hunter
Green as they're arguably their most prominent young guy. Now, you could extend
that to other pictures on the bat. You could extend that to guys like
Ellie de la Cruz, who is certainly swinging the back pretty well right now,
players like Christian and Karnassi Astream, who has gone through his struggles.
What the Reds are trying to do is really hard. They're trying to win
this year and improve upon what they did last season, while they have a
players who are still developing. Youth, as you know, Willie is unpredictable,
youth is unreliable. This is one of the youngest teams in the sport.
They have a lot of guys. Hunter Green is obviously not among them,
but they have a lot of guys who a year ago were not playing
at the big league level, and so what they're trying to do is not
easy. I'm not giving them an excuse. It's just it's a fact.
You have a lot of guys who are developing, and you're trying to win
with those players who are developing. Hunter Green has certainly included on that list
of guys that you could say that about, and and and again. You
know, in two or three years, if if we're still talking about,
you know, so many of these guys not being players you can count on,
and what the Reds are doing right now will prove to be a failure.
I think long term that's not going to happen. I think in the
short term we're probably in for some high points, probably in for some moments
like last night with a young guy frustrating. Lastly, I had a couple
of interviews with Ron Goldman's father, freend and Fred Goldman. The dad said
no, Dad could have a better son. And that relates me to Uh,
We're at the mezzaluna with me and the wild Man, and the wild
Man wanted some chili or beef vegetable soup. So the wild Man, dressed
in his shorts and his T shirt and his goofy looking hat and a beard,
said to the server, what kind of soup do you have? She
said, well, we have pureaide carrot soup. And he says, what's
that? I said, wild Man, you know what pure eade carrot soup.
And she almost had a tear in her eye, and I said,
what's wrong? She said, we all miss Ron. He was a good
guy. And so when I think about OJ Simpson dying today, I hope
it was a long, lingering death. I hope he was in a lot
of pain, because he calls quite a bit of pain to many people in
his living years. All right, uh, Moeger, thank you for your
analysis. We'll do it again. It hurts me that you have spent more
time hanging out with wild Man Walker than you sent hanging that with me.
Let's continue with more the line becomes available five, one, three, seven,

course the Reds Baseball was canceled because of the rain. You might know,
it's raining like cats and dogs. And game is scheduled to be played on
August the thirtieth, which is a Friday afternoon at twelve forty part of a
twidlight doubleheader against the Brewers. The night game. It's going to be a
great day of baseball, hopefully by that point the game is important. The
game game is relevant. Getting back to OJ Simpson briefly, I think it's
revealed and did not create so many obvious problems in the country that celebrity matters.
And for those who were born after the year two thousand, there was
no more beloved character in the National Football League than O. J. Simpson.
First his career at Southern Cow gets the Heisman Trophy. That classic sixty
five yard run to win the Rose Bowl against UCLA was beautiful. He was
physically handsome, He was a man's man and a woman's man. Loved did
commercials constantly for all kinds of companies, writer and also various other entities.
He did commercials for Anabisco, for insurance companies. He was a close friend
of Bob Trumpy who was here. In fact, they were both NBC color
analysts that ran around together in the same circles. And he went to Buffalo,
which was god forsaken part of the National Football League and in one season
ran for two thousand yards for the first time, and the kind of wasted
his career Buffalo because they didn't do much at all in the National Football League
at that point, and eventually made his way back to San Francisco and continue
to do what he did, which was he was a pitch man. He
was always jumping over things that smile would light up a room, and it
was perceived as being for those who weren't close to him, and certainly no
one other than Bob Trumpy I knew was close to who by the way,
Bob Trumpy was shocked when he found out what had happened, and Bob Trumpy
believed from the get go that OJ Simpson killed those people. You cannot explain
away Ron Goldman's blood on the gas and brake pedal of OJ Simpson's vehicle,
a man that he had never met, and the footprints of OJ Simpson at
the murder scene. With all that blood matched the blood found in between the
creases of the rubber pedal on OJ Simpson's vehicle, It's impossible that someone could
think to that level to stay some sort of silly crime. And when it
came out that the lapd covered for OJ Simpson constantly he beat up Nicole on
a regular basis, leaving bruises and marks and cuts and stitches and broken bones.
He brutalized that woman repeatedly, and mainly dealt with custody of the children.
His philandering got to her. She finally filed for divorce, and then
he wanted to control every aspect of her life thereafter, and when she would
date someone, he would show up brutalize the person she was dating. Just
made her life miserable, absolutely miserable. And on the day of the murder,
Nicole Brown Simpson had gone to the Mess Lunar restaurant for dinner with the
girlfriends, and she was always looking around for OJ because she knew she was
about to get the crap kicked out of her, and the police would not
help her at all. LAPD would not help Nicole Brown Simpson, so she
either left her glasses there on purpose or by mistake. And Ron Goldman,
who we don't know his motivation to go there to take her sunglasses back to
her home, shows up about nine thirty ten o'clock at night and he's walking
into her condo. And I've walked into I've walked there to when wild Man
and I and the yid Man seg were there. We got close enough to
Greta Green as the name of the street. It was a narrow little walkway
into the condo. And Ron Goldman unbeknownst to him that O. J.
Simpson was also in that secluded area with a large knife in his hands,
and all Ron Goldman wanted to do was to return the sunglasses to Nicole.
Nicole comes to the door, comes out, and the three of them are
there, and O. J. Simpson slaughtered those two innocent people, basically
decapitating the head of the mother of his children and his ex wife and killing
Ron Goldman. I don't know how many I knew at the time. I
was up on it and we're going back almost thirty years. Numerous stab wounds
all over his body. He could not have survived. I'm sure he fought
as much as he could, but it was dark and OJ Simpson was in
a rage. OJ Simpson at that point was still a strong man with a
knife, and he went there with a knife to do what to kill Nicole
Brown Simpson, and he thought she was having an affair, et cetera.
And from that point on he played the race card wonderfully for the next year
year and a half until the trial in October. Commenting in October of nineteen
ninety five, and the country split largely along racial grounds because Johnny Cochrane and
his defense team made sure including Kardashian, the father of the famous kardash was
on the defense team with Flee Bailey. I've had Flee Bailey on a couple
of times talking about it. And they made a conscious decision to play the
race card because the jury had nine blocks on it and they could not believe
that that OJ would have done that, and they ignored all the physical evidence.
It was. It was ridiculous. Then when O. J. Simpson
tried to put on the glove that was found outside Cato Kalin's bungalow on the
Simpson property. If it doesn't fit, you must to quit. O.
J. Simpson did not want that glove to fit him, and so he
put his hand in the glove to make it look difficult. He had a
very broad hand that he couldn't get it in. Of course, by that
point it has shrunk, but that's irrelevant. That jury wanted to find a
reason to find O. J. Simpson not guilty. And so that night
when we go back out to Rockingham and saw the l A. P.
D ushering into the O. J. Simpson estates who wanted to come and
party with OJ, it was truly unbelievable. Unbelievable to consider that LAPD Furman
and that and that crew would have worked hard to plant evidence on an innocent
man so that a guilty person would go free. That was totally ridiculous from
the get go. But as soon as it was brought out by Flee Bailey
that Furman had used the N word previously in some of his private conversations on
other cases, that the end word was broadcast all over the place, suddenly
that jury just flipped and stead, it's payback, It's payback. For what
happened by LAPD to many other individuals who were treated unfairly by LAPD, and
so that it was payback for so many other nasty offenses that had been committed
by LAPD against the black community in Los Angeles. And that's the name of
that toune and so OJ after that point continued to be a cultural icon,
and a majority of people considered him to be in a sense of hero that
beat the system, beat the man, and who cares if two people were
killed? Many black activists said they were white people killed anyway, So they
simply ignored the fact that OJ Simpson was a murderer in the vicious ways,
and he concocted evidence to make sure that he would get free. He took
a plane from LA to Minnesota for an appearance, came back, etc.
What happened to a lot of the burglary tools and the murder weapon is still
up to conjecture as to where he dumped it. But nonetheless the physical evidence
wasn't proof beyond a reasonable doubt. It was proof beyond any doubt, and
the country largely has gotten to the idea now of accepting it. Many many
years later, about ten to fifteen years later. You might recall in Las
Vegas he was told that his memorabilia was being sold in some hotel room.
So he got his crew together and they went to that hotel room. One
of the members of the crew had a gun and they wanted to take back
OJ Simpson's memorabilia. Might have been also his Heisman trophy, not sure,
but game warn jerseys, etc. That were being sold. And when it
came out that this occurred and a gun was involved, the Clark County Prosecutor's
office went after Oj with hooks and claws, and he was convicted in front
of a Las Vegas jury of an armed robbery burglary and sought a hotel room
to regather his memorabilia, and then he spent the next nine to ten years
in Nevada State prison, was finally paroled and wanted to make his way to
Florida and today, at the age of seventy six, he died after a
long fight with prostate cancer. And even in recent interviews a couple of years
ago, he said he was still looking for the real murderer, still looking.
He was trying to find this real murderer in casinos, in brothels and
on golf courses. That's where he was looking. Didn't find him, but
nonetheless still out there. I would assume that Oj did not repent. There
was no evidence that he did, which means he's riding in hell as I
speak, and may he spend eternity there with other murderers who got away with
it. It was a said commentary on our judicial system. Judge etoed lancel
Edo did not run much of a courtroom. He lets stuff in that should
not have been let in, kept stuff out that should have been into the
case, didn't control the courtroom at all. Got completely out of control of
The trial took my gosh, I don't many months. I don't know.
I'd have to look it up, but it was many, many months because
Judge Eto and the dancing Edos on the Tonight Show, I could not bring
himself to conduct a fair trial. But in front of that jury, with
Johnny Cochrane and with OJ Simpson, I find it hard to believe that that
jury would have convicted him of anything. There could not have been a stronger
case against him ever made. He was the kind of person that would regularly
beat up his wife, be extremely physically and emotionally cruel to her, and
then in the end he tried to kill her before and then he finally did
it with that knife, and unfortunately Ron Goldman, wrong place, wrong time,
and the rest, shall we say, is history. So let's continue
with more after one o'clock today and after two o'clock today, we have a
couple guests that we've scheduled about the media coverage of Donald Trump and also tax
days coming up, as you know, on Monday, April fifteenth, and
there's a sense among the American people that the rich do not pay their fair
share. I don't know who the rich are, but my guest will come
in with fact figures and statistics from the Cato Institute about who pays taxes in
this country and who does not pay taxes in this country. I read his
column, and one thing to consider is that the top one percent are Americans,
high income earners that make four hundred thousand dollars a year or more.
That's the top one percent. That money the total money they earn is twenty
six percent of the total money earned, and that of that number, the
top one percent pay forty eight percent of the income tax. Forty eight percent
paid by the top one percent even though the top one percent, people like
segment Dennison, earned a total of twenty six percent of the income, and
the top ten percent, which are those above one hundred and twenty five thousand
dollars a year, the top ten percent pay approximately seventy five percent of the
taxes. And if you take the top fifty percent, which is about eighty
thousand dollars a year, eight if you work about to fifty percent make eighty
thousand or more and fifty percent make eighty thousand or less, that the top
fifty percent paid ninety nine percent of the taxes. I put this message out
in April most years to refute what liberal progressive Democrats say, which is the
rich don't pay their fair share. Without specificity, well, the fair share
ought to be something in the range the top one percent should pay twenty six
percent of the taxes. Because the top one percent make twenty six percent of
the income, that's not the way it works. The top one percent pay
forty eight percent of the taxes. So we already have a system desired by
the radical left. The problem is not that government doesn't collect enough money from
us. The problem is government spends way too much money, and that would
include Republicans. During the four years of Donald Trump accumulated about a seven and
a half trillion dollar national debt for those four years, and now under Obama
it doubled from when he got into office to when he left. Under Trump
it went up fifty percent more, and then under Biden has gone up two
trillion dollars a year every year. And so we can't stop spending money.
And if you listen to the State of the Union address, it's obs This
president wants to spend a lot more money, with a lot more government programs,
and tax more people who are the evil rich already pay most of the
taxes anyway. So that's the name of that tone. And we continue to
look upon the reds and Hunter Green as something down the road that can get
better. He's only twenty not quite twenty four years old, and he's got
a six year, fifty three million dollar contract. He's got a million dollar
arm and about a ten cent ability to use that arm for productive purposes.
I thought he was the second coming of Bob Gibson, but I don't think
so. So let's continue with more and later on we have a person that
monitors media coverage. Would you be surprised to learn that about ninety three percent
of the media coverage of Donald Trump is negative. Well, when it comes
to Joe Biden, it's about forty five percent. So the media chooses sides
and they cover Trump completely differently than they cover Biden. By the way,
you may know, Trump's not in office, Joe Biden is the president.
You would think the president would garner a lot of coverage from the mainstream media.
But the mainstream media believes that if they say something nice about Donald Trump,
it's going to hurt their guy, Joe Biden. And that is not
the way things are supposed to work in this great country. Absolutely not.
And for those who say that they're a never Trumper, they can't take it
anymore. They have to. They can't put up with Donald Trump and hiss,
peccadillos, etc. I would say, reconsider, rethink about what you're
going to do, which is keep Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in office,
to continue to borrow money, have a horrible foreign relation policy, open up
the southern border. Hundreds of thousands of Americans dead every year from FANDOL,
and our cities are in complete utter collapse. Our cities are garbage cans without
the handles, and that cannot continue long term. We can't survive. We
cannot survive the way things are now. Vatanela is killing tens of thousands a
year. Ten million legal aliens have streamed across the southern border, a lot
of them, many of them are criminals committing vicious crimes, raping and murdering
Americans right now. And we have relatively sure that a significant number of Chinese
military infiltrators are among us working in these bootleg thousands of marijuana gross sites that
need thousands of new workers. We badly need a new president to go a
completely different direction. And if we don't, our children and grandchildren will pay
well. Let's continue the line becomes available five three, seven, four nine,
seven thousand pounds seven hundred new at and t Reds baseball. Off to
day, but back at it in the next three or four days and they'll
be on the road again. All A News Radio seven hundred WLW. A

taken a vow of silence, and how does he start his day? Listening
to Mike McConnell, Good morning, Brother Joseph loves to hear the latest news,

Trio Bistro in the heart of Kenwood. Trio is our go to spot for
tax plans are out and tax Days coming up on Monday. And when I
look at polling as to what the American people believe about who pays taxes,
it is completely different than reality. Of course, reality and politics often doesn't
matter. What matters is perception. And I saw a gallupol about six years
ago and I caught some of it, and the gallupole said American people said
that top one pay six percent of the taxes, the top ten percent of
way journers pay twenty six percent of the taxes, and the rest are born
by middle class Americans. Now, nothing could be further from the truth.
It is simply not the facts, because facts are available. In fact they're
available every year, but the message often does not get out. Joining you
and I now from the Cato Institute, a great organization is Adam Michelle and
Adam Michelle, Welcome to the Bill Cunningham Show. First of all, can
you tell the American people the mission of the Cato Institute to put it in
perspective? Hell? Yeah, well, thanks for having me on here.
At the Cato Institute, we're a nonpartisan research organization and forming policy makers towards
libertarian policies of smaller government, more free markets, lower taxes. In the
case of my work, where we work with Congress and inform the public sort
of about the reality exactly what you were talking about. So what actually is
going on rather than what the perception is. Let's break it down. We
got to talk about the tax plan. Joe Biden, who's absent socialist,
wants to say that we need to raise taxes on companies corporations as if they
don't pass on those expenses to consumers. But just in a rough sense,
every year, break down the tax brackets as far as who pays taxes,
the top one percent, the top ten, fifty percent. Tell the American
people the truth. Yeah, the top one percent of income earners pay about
forty six percent of all income taxes. If you expand that down to the
top ten percent, the top ten percent of income earners pay about seventy six
percent of all income taxes. You and the United States actually has one of
the most progressive tax systems in the developed world, despite what the President or
a lot of other folks would have you believed. We kind of went over
that quickly. I want that to sync in and what concrete then, I
wanted to harden the top one percent, which is about is that about three
hundred and seventy five thousand dollars in income four hundred thousand is out about that
number. Yeah, I think it might be a bit higher than that now,
but that's in the ballpark. So if you make four hundred thousand dollars
or more, the top one percent pay forty six percent of the income tax.
The top ten percent, which would be something the range of one hundred
and seventy five k a year, pay seventy six percent of the state income
tax. And as far as the top fifty percent of the bottom fifty percent,
I think that number breaks down to about eighty thousand dollars for those who
make above eighty thousand dollars and you're in the top fifty percent, what percent
of the income tax are paid by those workers? The top fifty percent pay
almost all of the taxes. It's something like ninety ninety eight percent of the
taxes are paid by the top fifty percent of income taxes are paid by the
top fifty percent. And you have a column up about paying your fair share.
One of the great bumper stickers is the rich have got to pay their
fair share. When you hear that Adam Michelle or the Cato Institute, do
the rich already pay their fair share? How much more can you pay?
It certainly seems that way to me. A President Biden Austen trot out the
statistic that the billionaires of the richest people in the United States pay an average
tax rate of eight percent. But if you actually go to the data released
by his Treasury Department every year, you'll see that the highest earning point zero
one percent of income earners in the United States actually pay an all in estimated
average tax rate of well above thirty percent. And that's sort of all inclusive
a payroll income and the rest of it. And if you go down the
income distribution, that tax average tax rates declined until you actually get negative average
tax rates for the lowest income Americans, again showing how incredibly progressive the United
States federal income taxes. It's fair to say we have what liberal Democrats seek,
which is high income americans pay the great majority. Why is it not
readily acceptable to average Americans as to those facts? Because you can take these
numbers, the top one percent pay forty six percent, the top ten percent
pay seventy six percent, the top fifty percent pay ninety nine percent of the
taxes. But people don't believe that, right. Yeah, I think a
lot of that is because the political class isn't honest with them. It isn't
when we sort of cross out these statistics that are just simply not based in
reality. I think your point that we have the tax system a lot of
Democrats want is really apt, and they but there's a flip side of that,
or would they point to the way that Europe does their taxing. They
want big government, big social services, and higher taxes than we have,
like a lot of European countries do. The way that those countries pay for
that big government is actually higher taxes on poor people and the middle class to
evalue added tax for much higher income tax rates that hit much lower down the
income distribution, and so the reality of where where democrats want us to go
is not higher taxes on the wealthy, but instead higher taxes on middle class.
Americans and so called billionaires generally have no income which is subject to the
income tax rates. They have capital gains, and capital gains rates are lower
than the income tax tables. And billionaires have all the rich CPAs and accountants
money can buy to find loopholes things of that character that average Americans do not
have. Now the State of Union address about a month ago that Biden stumbled
through horribly. He talked about making corporations and businesses in America pay quotes their
fair share, and that he wants to grossly increase the tax rates paid by
corporations, by companies, etc. Explain to the American people, Adam Michelle,
why that is a bad idea. So the United States competes for businesses,
for global talent, for investment, for jobs with other countries all around
the world, businesses can quite easily move. They did this a lot before
the twenty seventeen tax because they were inverting their headquarters to Europe. So when
you raise the business income tax, the corporate income tax above the sort of
art average of our largest trading partners, you start losing investment and jobs and
businesses. And so Biden wants to raise our corporate income tax rate back up,
so we have about the second highest rate in the developed world, putting
us back into that world pre twenty seventeen when businesses couldn't leave the United States
fast enough. So by doing so, companies would leave the America and the
United States and go to Mexico, go to Taiwan, go to the Philippines
or whatever. And secondly, isn't it true that if companies corporation's income tax
bill goes up, do they increase the cost of goods and services to sell
to the public, which means inflation would be in a runaway mode. So
most of the corporate income taxes actually passed on to workers in the form of
lower wages. It does get passed on to some investors, and does go
into higher prices, but most of it actually shows up in a way of
hurting workers, both in the form of slower wage growth and fewer jobs.
And so when you cut the corporate income tax rate. It's actually a benefit
to working Americans here in the United States, and that's what we saw when
it was cut in twenty seventeen, and what I would expect to see the
reverse of if we were to raise it back up to sort of internationally high
levels. And you have a posting about energy subsidies, win the spending madness
at twenty twenty four some of your I'm going to share that with the American
people, But can you talk about what's happening in California with their governor Gavin
Newsom, who is perceived to be the President in waiting, because nobody with
any common sense would ever think that Kamala Harris could be the president. But
nonetheless, he wanted to give more money to low income workers by taking the
minimum wage from twelve bucks an hour to twenty bucks an hour, and then
it goes up from there. And in fact, the twenty bucks an hour
to a McDonald's worker does not take into account the taxes that worker is liable
to have the employer spend on like unemployment, workers compensation, all that stuff,
So the twenty bucks an hour is even a lower. Why is it
a bad idea for government? Mandates to tell the fast food workers, We're
going to pay you a lot more money, and isn't that a good thing?
Yeah, Well, when you raise the minimum wage, especially as high
and as quickly as they have in California, it leads to additional automation and
the pushing out of those sort of starter jobs that help you get that first
rung on the ladder to then earn higher wages in the future. So often,
what we've seen after these types of large minimum wage taxing, large minimum
wage increases is that it hurts actually the people, the exact same people that
you're oftensibly trying to help. And so instead, I think we should be
focusing on pro growth policies that allow businesses to expand and hire more people,
creating additional opportunities for those workers, and letting markets push wages up rather than
government mandates. You know, it's a perfect example of the law of untended
consequences. The intent was to put more money into pockets of low wage workers.
In reality that caused them to be unemployed and more ais being used and
production methods are being done by machines of one type or another, and therefore
those it intends to help it hurts. Secondly, I see that the Inflation
Reduction Act Whenever, which is passed two years ago by only Democratic votes,
and you have a posting Energy subsidies win spending Madness of twenty twenty four.
The results from the spending Madness suggest that the highest priority budget cut for Congress
is the vast corporate welfare unleashed by the IRA is favored by the Inflation Reduction
Act. And you note that the economy was flooded with at least one trillion
dollars and more spending and narrow tax breaks for corporation across many industries. Why
are the energy subsidies we think about cylinder, et cetera. Why is that
a terrible idea? And why do the Inflation Reduction Act actually increase inflation?
Yeah, the name of the bill is perhaps the most laughable part of this
whole thing. It was originally supposed to to include about just a couple hundred
billion dollars of tax credits I shouldn't say just, but tax credits for these
types of preferenced energy and types of energy. The cost is now balloon to
well over a trillion dollars, likely one point eight trillion dollars over ten years.
Some of these things are ultimately made permanent. So this is one just
additional inflationary spending sort of going out going out the door. But two,
it makes energy markets less efficient. It's Washington choosing the type of car that
you that you're going to drive and the type of where your energy gets to,
rather than the market and consumer demand choosing those sort of the cars and
the energy that is most sustainable for the economy. And so it's just another
form of central planning industrial policy out of Washington. All right, let's get
on to the issue of borrowing about one trillion dollars every one hundred days if
you take and you know the number, if you take Social Security, Medicare,
medicaid, if you take interest on the national debt, federal retirement programs,
and the defense budget, which those items are really never cut. In
fact, they have to go up in a sense that's about eighty percent of
the budget. And so how do you get to a balanced budget when you
have are going to add about twenty trillion dollars to the national debt over the
next ten years and we're talking twenty thirty four, We're going to have accumulate
national debt in the range of fifty five trillion dollars fifty five trillion dollars,
which is completely unsustainable. That is Banana Republic. How do you get to
a balanced budget when you have over eighty percent of the budget is to areas
that are sacred cows. You know the answers. You can't have sacred cows.
Everything needs to be on the table, and if it's not, then
we're going to continue to sort of spiral out of control. If you take
those mandatory spending items medicare, Medicaid, social Security, and interest on the
debt, leaving defense spending off to the side, just those pieces will will
will be larger than all the projected tax revenue coming in the door in just
a couple of years. And so that tells me that sort of spending growth
is the problem and we have to reform every single one of those things you
mentioned. Otherwise, taxes are going to have to go up on middle class
Americans and that will be that will ultimately be painful. To go back to
your first point, I want to make this apparent to the American people.
The top one percent pay forty six percent, but what percent of total income
in the country. Does the top one percent earn. They earn about twenty
six percent of the total income, and they pay forty six percent of all
taxes. So that sort of gets again to this point of the wealthy are
paying much more than the share of the income they're earning, and more than
their fair share by that metric. So the increased taxes that must be increased
in the middle class. And that's a problem. Right, Let's talk about
if I would have you on with me in five, six, seven years
from now. Let's get out the crystal ball. Let's say Joe Biden slash
slash Kamala Harris win November the fifth, and let's say the Democrats take over
the House and they keep they keep the Senate, and they go back into
another inflation Reduction Act mode and continue to gallop federal spending out of control.
How can you determine when the debt crisis comes? And secondly, Adam Michelle,
what would that look like and how will that impact the average Americans because
we've got to get a handle on that. Yeah, well, that's the
trillions of dollars. That's the trillion dollar question is when the when the true
fiscal crisis hits and I wish I knew. There's no one really knows when
that tipping point is. But we can't continue to have a two trillion dollar
gap between the revenue that comes in the door and the spending that goes out
the door. Eventually something has to break, and that'll be It's going to
be painful. It'll look like higher inflation. It will look like dramatic,
necessary cuts to government spending. It will also to probably entail higher taxes,
not just those earning over four hundred thousand dollars a year, but every single
American. There'll be slower economic growth and a lot of pain. And so
that's why making those reforms to the budget now is so important. The sooner
we start these conversations and actually start making reforms, the easier it ultimately will
be all right once again. Cato Institute, c at O Keto Institute.
I encourage the American people and talking out the website, lots of good stuff
there. This is the most predictive financial crisis ever to strike any country.
I've been talking about this for the last ten to fifteen years, and the
next five to ten years will be utterly ridiculous. When it comes to federal
spending. I sends that Joe Biden slash Kamala Hair slash Gavin Newsom has no
clue, no desire to cut federal spending at all. They want to increase
taxes. We went over who pays the taxes, and that's impossible to cut
any more muscle out of the body of those who have high incomes. And
once again, Adam Michelle, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
And Adam, you're a great American. Thanks for having me on.

It's you. I don't know how the segment was not involved. You know
why you were going out to l A. I have no idea and calling
her under the break now, probably somebody gasped me for wild Man. That's
correct, right, Kevin Christopher, Yes, the wild Man, me and
you yet are at the Mezzaluna, which shall we say, is an upscale
restaurant. Yes, explain what happened when the server came over. Well,
the special that day was cream of carrot soup and wild Man, what can
I just have a cheeseburger? So we have a tune of tartar to to
night's the special. We don't serve cheeseburgers and chili or beef vegetable soup.
No, it's cream of carrot soup. Wild Man, and he had a
T shirt on and a pair of shorts prisoner. T shirt prisoner. And
then you and I go to for some reason Christopher and wild Man Kevin us
explain what happened at the verdict the verdict that we walked the steps. We
wanted to see where all this took place. We go to the way it
was that Greta Green. We go there with a murder and we're about ten
yards you know, it's a We're looking out how tight it was. And
then we go to the actual La County courthouse for the verdict with Dodger First
Base and Steve Garby. And this was the best part because we didn't have
We weren't We didn't have passes to get in. No, but you said
to the guy, look here media. It was our baseball press passes for
the game that night against the Dodgers. We get into the press area on
the steps of the courthouse. It's all fenced off with you know, the
the bicycle rail stuff, so you can't get through. There was and I'm
not kidding, at least twelve police horses fully armored. Now horses were armored.
The horses were armored. The cops on top of them were armored and
armed a fifteens in each hand. And we're just sitting there waiting for the
verdict, and I look up and here comes Steve Garvey, the Great Dodger,
just walking down the street with a box of doughnuts for the Simpson Brown
family. So I say, hey, Steve, how you doing. He
got an extra donut? I think he gave me a cream puff everyone.
So he's walking in with a beautiful blonde wife. And this cop says to
me, he said, look, if this verdict goes the wrong way and
those thousand people behind that police line come this direction, you're on your own.
Because we were like thirty feet in the other was a moat between us
and the building that was underground. I looked at my right, there's a
thirty foot jump down to the first three levels of this huge building. We
would not have made it to the game that night. No, it would
have been bad and Sega. At the game that night, I wanted int
do Hedeki Nomo, who was pitching for the Dodgers. Right sovana before the
game, I run into this Japanese photographer from Osaka. I said, look,
I'm a radio talk shows from Cincinnati. He says something. I said,
I'd like to interview you about Hedeki Andomo, and he says something in
Japanese and I think he said yes. So I pull up my tape recorder.
I asked my questions in English. There was some other interpreter there,
the father of Otani's interpreter. I think it would interpret my question to the
Japanese news man, and I said, we have a duchy Nomo getting ready
to pitch against the Reds very important series here in Cincinnati. Here here against
Cincinnati, two games there, one game here, And so I asked a
ten minute interview which was chopped up and sent all over Reds Land with me
interviewing at Duchy Noma before the game, and this guy was a cameraman nice,
and you's going like this, You're on your own. You're on your
own because this could I said, what the hell? What can happen to
me? Nothing? Did? Did you think you at that point, which
is twenty nine years ago, that the Reds that'll be the last time they
won a game in the postseason? No? I did not. And also
on that day twenty nine years ago, I bought the shirt off the street
vendor which I still have that says if it doesn't fit, then you must
have quit. Can't make it up. Hey, Twitter, world, it
is me yours truly. It hurts something really interesting today, you know,
with ninety nine or whatever percent of people dying or they're unvaccinated from the new
COVID stuff, and over ninety percent of hospitalization, especially in Florida, are
among the unvaccinated. A female doctors on this morning she made the best analogy
I've heard. She said that being vaccinated is like wearing your seatbelt, that
it doesn't guarantee you won't get in an accident, but if you do,
you have a much better chance of surviving. Hey, get your shots.
I don't like wearing masks, and as you people who aren't getting the shots
that have brought this mask thing back. I'm just saying, take care.
OJ giving medical advice a PSA BYOJ perfect Willie with this morning. I got
up and I found myself watching Meet the Press. They had the baby Lwamaswami
on now Light the debates, the Republican debates. I said, hey,
this guy is onto something. Then he'll say something. I said, Oh
my god, I attributed to his youth. I guess now. First,
let me make it clear. I'm not a Republican. I'm also not a
Democrat. I would have called myself independent, but I'm probably I'm a little
more a libertarian, even though I think you vote for the best person.
I don't care what party they're in. And listening to this guy, I
do have this book. I've only got like thirty percent into the book,
but I love what he was saying in this book. I was saying,
it's fresh, it's new. I mean, yeah, you can't make it
up. No, you can't make it up. And I can't make this
up either. When you were in the Bahamas with OJ, one of the
great stories of all time please tell the story. I'm there with three of
my boys. Mike Bartosik, right, Bartosic, tight end for what he
hayes, big guy, good good golf. Also Mike McCall, Xavier Basketeer.
You know Mike, Yes, I know Mike Well, big guy.
And then Wayne Carucci. He owns a trucking company now, but he was
an MMA fighter. He boxed for a living. He beat people up.
And Vinnie's about six three, about twoint forty, so I figure, you
know, what the hell? So I'm sitting there ready to tee off,
and I could sense a car pulled up next to me. I'm doing the
scorecards. See Mike got eight strokes, Vinnie gets twelve, Gray Bartosic and
I play even. And I looked to my left. There about three feet
away is OJ Simpson by himself and a golf car. And his head's the
size of the juice. Fuck it, that's what I say. I said,
juice. He said, hey, man, how you doing that?
You? I said, what do you do? As I'm a radio talk
show host? He said, hey, hopefully you're good. When a lawyer,
he said, I always need lawyers. So with that, the other
guys came over. He got up, walked about ten yards away. They
run another group on the putting green. They say, juice walker. They
walk over and at that point they're talking, getting a few pictures or whatever.
And uh, I'm looking at this scene thinking, I'm getting pissed off
because did he kill the mother of his children in a brutal way? Yes?
Did he beat her up repeatedly ahead of time? Yes? And in
cold blood? Did he slaughter Ron Goldman? Had nothing to do with either
one of the two. Yes, And I had on fred it by that
point I had fred on went to father this son of them. So I
go up there and I say, hey, Juice, Yeah, man,
what you got? I said, who'd you kill first? Because I thought
Ron Goldman was six to one the autopsy sixty one eighty five, good looking
guy strong. I think that you had to kill him first, or at
least incapacity to him. Then you go and decapitated the mother your children?
Do I have that right? And uh oh suddenly the mood changes. I
didn't hurt anybody else, and so he's uh M math this and M math
that? A white AMV So they there was only a threesome. They go
off and and Wayne Crouchy says, look, let's let them get to hold
it two ahead of us. I said, don't hit that. We're not
hitting into OJ. I said, correct. So that night we used to
go to the Esper Major Princess Casino because you get bet on baskets. It
was in March, you could actually legally bet on and we sit there,
you know, and make basketball bets. And at the end of the bar
a nice place about twenty yards a where I saw OJ sitting there with two
of his friends, and then the women were going nuts. Women were just
attracted to him like bees to honey. And Mike McCall looks at me and
said, you got to get out of here. I said no, no,
So I sluck off to the right, walked around. I went home.
I went back to my room and double bullet at my door, and
I put a sign on saying do not disturb. I don't know I would
have kept me safe or not, but it was a classic moment. It
was a classic moment. Yes, do you still think in Buffalo they think

Bailey. He came to Cincinnati to speak out of Steven R. Adams seminar
one of our deals I've got Christmas time. You've been in a couple of
them at Seca Claus yep. And for some reason, Steven R. Adams
paid him ten thousand plus expenses. I that's Steve. I mean, most
people here don't have the best feelings about E. Flee Bailey, but he
did it anyway. For the next several weeks he paid him the ten thousand
plus expenses and he kept submitting to Steve the expenses of that pizza the almost
choked on that we paid for and he wanted to be paid twenty four to
ninety five by the way, Aflee Bailey had filed bankruptcy by this point to
get reimbursed for the pizza that almost killed him. I said Steve will I
don't thank anybody paid for that pizza. He put that on his expense record.

in the life of one Brian Pillman of Norwood. You got to scoot a
little closer if you would, please. There you go. You can move
the mic anyway you want. Uh. I'm sure everyone knows that in professional
athletics you have days when you're incredibly high and you have days when you're incredibly
low. And in the last forty eight hours, I tend to think that
Brian Pillman is probably going to going to both extremes low yesterday because he was
way. But once the explanation by Sam, look we want to clear you
through waivers, bring you back, and then the elation of clearing waivers coming
back in the Cincinnati Bengals, I imagine nor Wood is just about lighting the
fireworks up right now. Congratulations Brian, Thank you very much. Bomb.
I'm sure it's a lifelong dream come true to play for this team in this
town at the professional level. It sure is. I remember many many afternoons
on Sunday watching watching the megal plays, in particular, watching you out there
catch some touchdown passes and don't try to make friends with me. Now I
have no control over your career. We could be friends, but you don't
have to. Look it's not going to do you any good to compliment me.
But nevertheless, anyway, and I remember watching some frustrating losses wish and
I could be out there helping them win. And now I've got that opportunity,
and I'm really excited about it. I don't believe you. I don't
One last story about flying Brian Pillman. I get a call from somebody with
the WWF at that point, and on the line with me is his wife,
Brian Pillman. And his wife asked me, Bill, would you do
Brian Pillman's eulogy? And I said sure. He got you and Vince McMahon.
I said sure, because I was going to go on the road with
him and be a road manager. We were going to have an act on
that road. Those are the days, seg Man, you were going to
be like mister Fuji or Paul Haman her Blassy Freddy Blassy, the Hollywood fashion
Please, So I gave a nice eulogy for flying Brian Pillman and along with
Vince McMahon. Whatever happened to that guy? He's got no controversy. Never,
let's continue with more on news Radio seven hundred WLW. Open up our
live stream on the iHeartRadio app and take a look at this. You see
that little red circle with the microphone on it, that's our talkback feature.
Push it and send us your thoughts on the current topic, something that you
think we should discuss, or anything that's rolling around at big ol' Mellonie years
the talkback feature. Check it out on seven hundred wlw's live stream on the
iHeartRadio app. Hey, I'm Eddie and I'm his wife Deb For Trio Bistro
in the heart of Kenwood. Trio is our go to spot for great food,
great service, and a really fun bar to hang out with friend,
I go cunning. In the Great American the national media, the so called
legacy media, the so called big time media, fashions and coins itself as
an objective arbitrator of what's happening in the world, especially the world of politics.
If you talk to those who have run The New York Times or ABCNBCCBS,
they consider themselves to be journalist and not left doing ideologues. Of course,
I think I know the answer that question. But nonetheless, there are
rating agencies available, like Media Research Center and others who every day, every
hour, every minute, tapes every broadcast everywhere to determine a score and a
ranking and a rating as far as who's objective and who is not, because
it is imperative that our so called news media provides Americans with objective, independent
information upon which each of us can cast an informed ballot. And if we
don't get that information because too many of us are so busy, we don't
have time to watch ABC, NBCCBS, NPR, we don't have time to
watch CNN and Brightbart, we don't have time to watch Fox or read every
newspaper in the country. So Media Research Center is one of those organizations that
does that for you, MRC, Media Research Center, and it's a lustative.
What happened an NPR National Public Radio Allegedly the taxpayer puts in one hundred
million dollars a year or more to make sure. Why we do this is
stupid, really stupid to pay government employees money to be ideologically hard left,
But an editor of NPR said, and he's still working there to my knowledge
that NPR has lost its original mission. It's not a fair, independent news
gathering organization. It's a left wing platform because eighty seven of the employees or
Democrats. How many Republicans The answer is zero. It doesn't work. They're
a propaganda arm, like a Pravda or a Vestia in the old Soviet Union.
So joining you and I now is Joseph Asquez. He's with Media Research
Center, and there's a group called NewsGuard that had always given The New York
Times a flawless one hundred percent score when it comes to freedom of speech.
And Joseph Asquez, first of all, what is the mission of the Media
Research Center? Then we'll talk about NewsGuard in a moment. What is the
mission of your group? The mission of the Media Research Center is to watch
the media, so you won't have to That's essentially what way you don't have
to watch it because you can go online and say, Okay, ABC News
did this, NBC News did that, CBS News does The fact checkers were
laid off when Trump was defeated in twenty twenty one and January twentieth, all
the fact checkers at CNN got fired. They didn't want to check facts.
So when Biden recently said that inflation was so bad under Donald Trump, they've
pulled it down. If Donald Trump had said a similar thing, somebody would
jumped up and said, you know what, fact checked. When Trump left
office, inflation was one point four percent and today it's close to four to
five percent. Benezeia as nine percent, But nonetheless, explain to the American
people what is NewsGuard and what is their rating of The New York Times.
Oh well, NewsGuard is essentially a Lestus media ratings firm, and the main
mission of the NewsGuard is to go out to the advertisers of right wing outlets,
right winging outlets that don't comport with the elector's narrative. We have the
media which are going to have been calling out news Guards left us by it
for three years and one of the most embarrassing they just utterly embarrassing ratings that
news Guard did so left leaning outlets is if it's not an indicative of it's
bias, is that it peatedly gave legacy outlooks like the New York Times USA
today perfect one hundred out of one hundred scores. They raid on a zero
to one hundred scale. And I mean, come on, I mean,
can you be any more explicit with your bias than that. You're talking about
The New York Times, the same outlet, the same outlet that is pushed
the Russia collusion hopes, the same outlet that's repeatedly gas flighting for Bidenomics.
You're talking about You're talking about an outlet that goes far back decades to the
era of Walter durandy are Man in Moscow, who was showing from the Soviet
Union. This particular outlet is considered to be the flawless example of journalism.
So when we caught that, finally NewsGuard after we called them out for continuing
to do that, they downgraded The New York Times around thirteen points because apparently,
according to NewsGuard now, the New York Times doesn't quote distinguish between news
and opinion responsibly. And my reaction was, have you been living under a
rock for the past twenty years or something? I mean, like, I
mean, for cooks take to incorporate opinion into all of their news coverage with
a left wing plant that's public. That's one of the reasons why that we
need research center exists because outworks like The New York Times repeatedly tried to dact
like the American people with a left wing bent on all of its coverage.
And that's what we found out here. And it's like, well, guess
what I mean, Well, you did it. You finally realized that the
New York Times wasn't flawless. Well good, I mean, you just took
it. It's just taking you years to figure that out. It's unbelievable.
And when was the last time the New York Times for President endorsed the Republican
or the last time the Cleveland Plane Dealer and Cleveland endorsed their Republican for president.
The answer is it's never happened. Never, It never happened, exactly
right. And you know that's that's what made this whole thing just just pretty
hilarious. Because we had done analysis of newsguards rating bias. We used We
used an all data from a firm called all Sides, And what they do
all Sides is that they rate left and right leaning outlets based on their bias
right to left. So we use their lists and what we found repeatedly is
that NewsGuard heavily favored left wing outlets over right leaning outlets. I mean,
our recent study just found that NewsGuard is tend to get an average score of
ninety one out of one hundred to left leaning outlets, while only in abysmal
sixty five out of one hundred to right leaning outlets, and that bias has
remained the same of course, three consecutive years. We've we've conducted that team
study over three consecutive years, and the bias remains the same. And now
they seems to be paying attention because now they're realized, Hey, guess what,
maybe we shouldn't say that these outlets are flawless like the New York Times
one of the perfect examples, And funnily enough, news Guard included this and
their update of the New York Times label. When The New York Times falsely
accused Israel of bombing the hospital, the Alli hospital in Gaza City, you
know, some time ago, following the Optober seventh geneside Bahamas, they falsely
accused Israel of engaging in this in this bombing purely on the word of Hamas,
and they got called out, They got ripped to shreds for it because
because they were part of leaving this charge, and they led to international uproar,
international funeral mass protests, and NewsGuard finally included that scandal inside their nutrition
label after we called them out and said, hey, NewsGuard, we wrote
a piece from the pay news Guard. Why do outlets that random the word
of hamas the falsely accused Israel? Why do they get perfect scores? That
was over three months ago, and just just months later they decided to upgrade
the the nutrition label noting the scandal. And I'm like, for goodness sake,
there's endless amount of anecdotes to show that The New York Times is not
flawless. But that's what they want to convince the American people that NewsGuard is
not how fallish and makes one makes it even war scale if that NewsGuard has
received federal money years ago. A couple of years ago, the Department of
Defense gave US seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars contract Q NewsGuard Q news Guard
and tax payer money, So the American people are financing this monstract. It's
like NPR. NPR even liberals have stopped listening to NPR that we fund.
That is ridiculous that the taxpayer sends one hundred million dollars and so every year
to NPR when it's a left wing platform that has much of propaganda, and
I'm glad they're one of their editors stood up and said we can't continue to
do this. Juan Williams, I've had him on my show several times from
Fox News, was fired like ten or twelve years ago because he didn't tell
he was a liberal, but he wasn't liberal enough for NPR, and he
was fired. I want to ask you a big question, because I get
this quite often in talk radio. If you take ABC, NBC, CBS,
take all the newspapers, take NPR, take college campuses, take those
who form opinions and express them, ninety nine percent are liberals or leftists.
When I watch Reverend Al Sharpton as the voice of Reason on Morning Joe,
I'm thinking, well, that's a perfect example. NBC allows that kind of
crap to go out over the airwaves as if they're journalists. Why are so
many journalist editors, those who run the national media ninety percent of it in
this country? Why are they so liberal? Where does that come from?
Well, I mean it just comes from society. The Marxists has done an
exquit job of politically speaking, in infiltrating every aspect of society in order to
get their message across, whether it be in the college campuses as he mentioned,
or whether they media, whether even in the halls of government. We're
entering into a dystopian era that even the great George Orwell put in that had
foreseen in all of his wisdom. This is dystopia on steroids. We have
a media that is now doing the bidding of government rather than holding government accountable.
And it's just absolutely bonkers, bonkers that in some of these outlets that
you mentioned in Huge Guard or NPR or PDS, let's a TDS for example,
they're getting financed by the tax payadults. So imagine people are getting finance
or financing outlets that are insulting them with leftist propaganda. Continues to go on.
But the NPR editors just came out and said, he admitted what we
all knew was going on behind the you know, behind behind the van.
We knew that NPR was to left this out, but now this editors just
came out and proved a point. And you know, you and I were
talking a little bit earlier, said apparently, according to this editor Over eighty
Democrats are in editorial positions at NPR, So we know that these in youerro
Republicans, and so we know that most of this content that's coming out of
NPR Findings for the tax Payer is going to have an extreme leftist bent.
It is an insult. It is an insult to American's intelligence. And not
only that, it's an insult to the American taxpayer that not only did they
have to hear this nonsense and a day to day, but they also are
paying for it to their taxes. Absolutely ridiculous, this insanity, utter insanity,
you know. Joseph Askas of Media Research Center, I would like to
think that if the election were held on Tuesday, Donald Trump would win the
election. However, he's going to be sitting in your city courtroom for eight
weeks or so. And I have a concern that if he wins again November
the fifth, that the media and the Democrats and the lawsuits and the prosecutors
will not let him be the president. They did not permit that. In
twenty sixteen or seventeen, as Pizi courts issued illegal snooping of the Trump campaign
and the Trump White House and James Comy was in charge of that along with
Brennan. They did not let him be the president because they attacked him mercilessly
and impeached him immediately and issue subpoenas all over the federal government executive branch.
Do you have any hope that if Trump does win, that the American people
get this figured out between now and then, that Donald Trump can actually be
the president, have a honeymoon period, and that the mainstream media that wants
to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsen that they're going to step
away, step down and become journalists. Is that possible that our media would
cover this thing objectively? As far as the media covering objectively, I would
say not. I mean, they've already shown where they're making their bed.
And you know, it's not even just the media anymore, it's big tech.
And now we find out that not to be big tech platforms that have
networked that surpassed that of many of countries, whether it be Google or Facebook,
or whether it be TikTok or these others you know that have that have
engaged in math censorship across the past past couple of years and now we find
out that the government is colluding with these platforms behind closed doors. I know
that the sensor speech that is disagreeable to the Biden narrative. I mean,
we are We're not even living in American society anymore. We're living in what
Mark Le then called Amertopia. This is the new dystopiing era that the American
people are living in, which is why we have to be vigilant now when
it comes to protecting the freedom of speech, when it comes to when it
comes to the rights to speak freely online. If we do not if we
do not make a point in making a voice is heard, now, the
freedom of if the freedom of speach, those every other freedom is going to
go by the wayside. We're living in a very dangerous and critical point in
American history and the America and people need to be vigiling because there are forces
out there right now that are looking to take away their freedoms by force,
and they will happen and let the American people make their voices hurt college campuses.
I watched the story and one of the one of the morning talk shows
about being a Jewish student and a large university is dangerous and then I look
the lack of freedom of speech on college campuses. You can you can be
at Stanford Law, You're can be a Columbia. You're gonna be at Harvard
or Yale, and which is supposedly freedom of speech bastions. Well, you've
got to have freedom of speech. But if there's someone supporting Israel or some
conservative that will show up at Stanford College of Law, uh, they will
be shouted down. You can't speak. In fact, in one college campus,
the Jewish students were hiding out in a closet because they feared for their
lives and the security at the college campus didn't protect them. Now they're suing
that college. I think it's Columbia for serious money damages. You have run
gains is to hide out in storage clausets because of the left on college campuses
attacking and eliminating freedom of speech, and the leaders were the adults. Vanderbilt
University expelled two students, and Vanderbilt, by the way, is in Tennessee,
for God's sakes. But Vanderbilt expelled two students and reprimanded ten more for
physically intimidating those with whom they disagreed. What happened on college campuses to the
freedom of speech movement on what happened on every major college campus. It has
been the First Amendment has destroyed what happened. You know, it kills you
are further than that, you know, these universities also receiving tax of funds
as well. I They're like millions, millions of dollars. And so not
only are the American students seemed subject to this gross of the schooled Texastopian environment
on college campuses, but then the American people are also having to pay for
it as well. I mean it has utter insult. It is utter insult.
I mean, you know, I went I went to the George Washington
University. I attended there myself, a very left wing university. And you
know what I was told there, like as far as like from the conservatives
on campus. And you know the advice I was giving argue like a liberal,
think like a conservative. In other words, if you want to survive
as a conservative on these campuses, you need to argue like you're a liberal,
but maintain your conservative principle that's supposedly how you define. That's pathetic.
That's pathetic that people who either support Israel or have conservative principles literally have to
live in the shadows just so that they can survive the university and college campuses.
It is utter insanity, and that's why the American people need to be
vigilant. You have an election coming up. You should take all of this
stuff, whether it be big tech censorship, whether it be the extraordinary media
bias, whether it be with this NPR thing, whether it be what's happening
in college campuses, the inflation thing. Take all that which you're going into
the ballot box in November, and remember that this is what your society is
doing against you. And unless you make your voices hurt, it will get
only worse. Of Orange Man Bad, Orange Man Bad, don't pay attention
to him. Ninety three percent of the coverage of Donald Trump is negative,
and it's vicious and it's personal. The only hope we have is to elect
the Trumpster in November, have a vice president that could serve eight more years
after that, to institutionalize the constitution, institutionalized freedom of religion, freedom of
speech. I did not think as a great American in the year twenty twenty
four. I have to be on talk radio. I've been here for forty
years talking about freedom of speech on a college campus or freedom of religion on
a college campus. I'm thinking what I would think that is so ingrained in
the hearts and souls of the American people. I don't have to talk about
that because the bastions of freedom of speech and freedom of religion, freedom of
assembly have got to be on college campuses. But the opposite has happened.
It's unbelievable. Well, it is unbelievable. It is unbelievable. You know
all else said it best, he said, this is the goal of the
tyrant, this is the goal of the dystopian fanatics. Will be complete when
the language is perfect. That is the goal of the leftus so that everyone
starts thinking the same, speaking the same, so that they could be more
easily manipulated. But where are our country of diverse thinking people? And that
is what makes America free, that we have differences of opinion. But the
left want such silence everybody and is willing to use force to do so.

kind of hangs around and parentsher and cold beers, and after the game somebody's
like, hey, we all got to get back to the hotel. Oj
is in a white Bronco flying down the Highway. There's a helicopter chase and
he's threatened to shoot himself. So everyone piling the cars and hart ass back
to the hotel we are staying at and we just sat and watched it,
like the whole entire night. It was the most Again, I was fourteen
years old and I remember it like it was yesterday. Bronco and what I
thought. I was here at the station and it's amazing because that was before
social media and before internet and any of that. But it was just the
word that got around. It's like, we got to get back to the
hotel and watch this. Well, they interrupted the NBA Finals and everything,
right, I mean they everybody went to it. There was like what five
thousand police cars behind him, and you know, Jews don't do it,
Jews don't do it. I'm living at seventy two forty three Camargo Woods and
I'm watching the NBA Finals and stay right in drop out of the NBA Finals
for the White Bronco chase with oj He isn't making that call. We got
the NBA Final with a lot of people watching this. Wait, we got
to go to this. We gotta go OJT right now. The NBC News
go ahead. Now, Also you had more information, Rock about Otani's interpreter.
Tell the Rock the new information. Get us into the studio. We
want to ask him some questions. Well, they the student reporters a pro
service over local Tamestar heating and air conditioning dealers. Tamestar quality you can feel
in Southwest Ohio called better choice heating and cool to get five one, three,
eight, six, eight, thirty three eighty eight. Tell them about
o'tanni now, the former interpreter for Shoey Otani is now accused of stealing over
sixteen million dollars from the Dodgers Star for ille Go gambling purposes. According to
the FEDS, Now I mean to deal with a bookmaker in California. Everything
is legal, I guess, except sports betting. They have to pay cash.
They don't take checks. How do you get sixteen million dollars in cash
out of the bank. According to the FBI, that the interpreter would speak
in Otani's tones to his private banker, telling him that the interpreters coming down
to get some cash. Just give him whatever he wants. And it was
the interpreter calling the bank usually make his voice sound like he was a tan.
I mean, could you tell one Japanese dude from another. Absolutely not
not. And so then he would show up and get piles of cash to
take tags of cash. It's like mags of cash. So you miss sixteen
million. I don't know. If you're a baseball player, you know.
I know plenty of athletes I've played with a ton of in my life that
didn't know anything about their bank accounts. For better or for worse, They
I don't know. They assume they know they got a lot of money,
but to keep track of every penny like a lot of people do, absolutely
not. Young people know he's in his seventh year. The first three years
he made the minimum. Yeah, so, but he had all these other
indeators. That is not out of the realm of possibility at all that he
didn't keep track of his finances. None of those athletes too. Like I
play baseball, That's what I do. I have people that watch after my
money. And he trusted the wrong person. Sick, that's for sure.
Did anyone have access to your accounts? Stealing recy cups and the ho hos?
But he isn't a guy. He's known for forever and probably spent more
time with than any single person on Earth has found out to be stealing money
from him. You know, it reminds me of a story. There's a
guy, a guy I knows, a family friend, and his family owned
a pizza store in Lawrenceburg for the longest time, and he had this woman
that worked for him like thirty something years, and she was like the right
hand woman. You know, everyone loved her. She was great, and
he retired. They had a big party for and then like after she retired,
you know, and the subsequent weeks they're knowing, like, Kyle,
we're making like another fifteen hundred bucks a week. What the hell is going
on with this? Oh? Oh yeah, you work there for twenty five
thirty years? Is she and the jointerer? She's coming off the top?
Huh. I can't say a lot of mozrell. You trust a lot of
people and they put on a smiling face and they could be robbing you.
I live with one. I'm married to her. Yeah, but wait a
minute, that'll that'll get the fight going tonight. That the little rocks will
be the fight. Ever, let me tell you, did they ever hold
each other and love each other and kiss on each other and just skive each
other the people's elbow, well, they know they do when they sense me
or my wife coming around the corner to like yell at them, then they're
like, oh, I'm just I'm just taking care of my little brother here.
Then you turn your back and choking them out. So the big,
the big area of controversy, Willy is I told you off air is the
littlest Rock wants to wear the Middle Rocks baseball jersey is te ball jersey,
and the Middle Rock ain't having it, okay, So that is what the
fight main thing fight is. Ever, so my wife literally has just put
out on Facebook anybody in Harrison, if you happen to have an old tea
ball jersey, could you please donate it to us in the hopes that it'll
stop this two from Friday seven neighbors Sydney Abrays gonna help you well. Harrison

Guys got it. He's with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He makes four hundred
thousands of Dodger They don't stay at the Holiday Inn. When they went at
any other city they go to, they got air and that probably their own
private airplane. He probably lives in a big old house, probably's got his
own Lamborghine ahead or something. And you're healing sixteen million bucks because you're betting

the same group. Scheffler and Mickelson can't get along. You know. They
offer Scheffler four hundred million dollars to join live and he turned it down,
And now everyone's doing it. It's kind of acceptable to do it, and
he missed out. Would you turn down four hundred million? No? Seg
no, I would. Dan Skillings Junior said today he'll return for the twenty
twenty four twenty five season with those Cincinnata Bearcats. Scott Drew, I've decided

happened. Nobody listens. Nobody listens to me. Well, there's reasons for
that. I know that, So I don't know what to tell you.
Your good friend, Chuck Martin Miami RedHawks Chuck Martin agreed to a five year
contract extension today through twenty twenty nine. Good back guy. He led Miami
to eleven to three record in a MAC championship. Did they beat you?
C? In football? He's won two MAC titles since he's been there.
I don't know if they did. Did they beat you? I don't think
they beat you C last year? Did they? Yeah? Did they?
Okay? Absolutely sorry, don't make another mistake here, seg Man. We
got wild Man Walker ready to step up, and then OJ Simpson of course,
at the top of the show passing away Today Willie at the age of
seventy six, passing away of cancer. Hopefully he suffered for months and died
a horrible death. Did he leave a note? Is there a note or
a diary? They may have scribbled in as he was taking his last breath
before he goes to sit beside Luke Satan for the rest of his existence.
Well, I think he's still looking for the guy. He was trying to
find him in golf courses, casinos, brothels couldn't find them, saw him
in the in the Bahamas looking for a guy years ago. Do you retaell
that story all the time back? I just wanted my personal things and I
realized I was stupid of me. That was the Vegas thing when he when
he went up to uh the room and busted in one in two thousand and
seven. I mean it's still from any flock. Yes, he did in
two thousand and seven hotel robbery. Eddie Fingers, my good partner, Eddie
Fingers, doesn't get fired up about about much. He's pretty even keel.
But when you mentioned Ojay Simpson in that trial and what do you did to
those two people? The dead man goes through the roof. I love it.
One little sidelight after the trial, the Yidman and I Kevin Christopher were
there along with the wild Man. They had a party that night. The
verdict was in the afternoon, like at noon or one o'clock, and OJ
threw a big party. It was three to ten rocking gam. Just came
to me, three ten rocking gam. If you've been there, it was
like three acres of big hedges in front, had a gate in front,
and the lapd which covered for OJ Simpson for years and all the times he
beat up his wife, terrorized her, black and blue, broken bones,
broken teeth, beat the crap out of her on a regular basis before he
decapitated her. Three or four jurors joined OJ to celebrate the verdict in his
home. You're kidding, Oh oh? Is that public knowledge? Yes?
And the lapd escored at the jurors to OJ Simpson's house. And I'm looking
at this and I'm going this is payback for Rodney King and the verdict that
was the centerpiece of the whole entire case at Johnny Cocker. And that's if
you watch, if anybody out there listening, go back now and watch the
ESPN documentary OJ Simpson. What's it called murderer? No, I forget,
I'll find the name it is. Is the best documentary have No Question?
Made in America or something something like some of that effect. That could be
OJ right there calling me from justice, Joe calling me from hell. But
uh, we'll see what happens. But what's exclusive? What's on the big
show today? If anything made? Yeah? OJ made in America? Yeah,
six part series, absolutely fascinating. One of the jurors, this African
American woman at the end, oh yeah, at least says yeah, I
remember that. Yeah. Basically, in so many words, that was retribution
for Rodney King. And we got our justice. That's we got our justice.
We we as we and what about our And it's like, how can
that person just sit there and say that unbelievable. Well, we have Mike
Allen Senior right out of the gate because he was a big law man,
prosecutor and such during those times. We're going to share his thoughts on the
case and all that on the OJ case back in the ninety four there,
Uh, we're a fitness guy PJ. Street at four oh five, and
then we're we got a discussion topic at five o'clock. Well, the other
thing that that that game played between the Dodgers and the Reds was the last
time the Reds won a postseason series? Was the O. J. Simpson
verdict against a decade now that he is dead, is that it's a good
sign. And that's a good sign. It's been cursed for a long time
since nineteen ninety five. They had a five game series against the Dodgers,
the red swept them, then got swept by the Braves. Was the Red
signe who had the goat? Was that the curse of the well? That
was chicaggo Icago. In fact, I met in Chicago with Harry Carey.
It was the black Goat and all that stuff. Remember Harry Carry. Awesome,
course, maybe these come over here, come over here, honey.
I can't say that on the air, But if you can pay money,
what would you pay to get marg shot and Harry Carey in her room together
and just just listen to him talk? I mean how much would you pay?
That would have been Hello again everyone, this is Harry Carry. I'd
be absolutely unbelievable. He would drive his limo with Ernie over to Willis and
Covington and I'd meet him over there and sit at the end of the bar.
Harry carry hello. And he would say things to women that would somewhat
inappropriate. What I've heard curl your hair and I laughed. And but Marge
shot she kind of drink in private, she was, But Harry was out
in front of him saying, he put a cocktail each of your hands in
a smoke, and just just let him talk about life and how they look.
Everyone. This is Harry Heart a red light on and let him have
it. It'll make him like that, don't you know. It's a freeze
dried world. All right. That's it, and then we'll see what Mike
Allen has to say about O. J. Simpson and the pits of Hell
right now, assuming he didn't repent. I assume he didn't because he's still
looking for the murderer. As of a year ago, you're still looking,
haven't found him yet. Can you tell me he left something in a die
he's somewhere that said, you know what, I'm dead and gone. Here's
what went down. He left Ron Goldman's blood on the pedals of his of
his vehicle. How did that get The jury said that didn't happen, didn't
happen. No, that wasn't how it No Furman planted it right, yes,
yeah, I understand. Yeah, not Andy Furman, Mark Furman,
Mark Furman. I don't want Andy Furman did not plan anything, no segment.
Get me out of the stud's report. Police will he and otter of
a rainy day here in the Tri State. That's why we're here. We
leave you, that's right, We leave you with the immortal words of the
Stewode report. But we think that our ballot issue has a lot better chances
than the red bull tent does of actually getting someone out. Our ballot initiative.
Who is that, Dave? Was that that's a ballot trying to get
somebody out? I don't know. Hunter Green can't get anybody out. Got
all the talent in the world, but no result. Him around like it
was phoning it underhand. Last I thought he was thought he was Bob Gibson
and said he pitches like Debbie Gibson. I thought I had Bob Gibson.
There's one right there there, you got Debbie Gibson. Come on six icon,
Debbie Gibson. It's one hundred miles an hour. Guess what can well?
His record this year is zero and one. We had you know,
we had a good conversation yesterday about baseball and what pitchers in particular need to
do. And you drink more beer, smoke more cigarettes, and work out
less and throw the ball more, eat ribs and quit having uh alfalfa sprouts
and uh broccoli protein shakes and electure like Joe du Saw smoke cigarettes and drank
beer. How was he just dealt delt one hundred four times a week.
He's a Donnis good. No relievers back then, hardly. No, here's
the ball. We'll see you in the ninth or tenth. Things right,
and if you if you don't get him out, you better figure it out
quick, no matter what happened anymore, right, pampered and pampers? Are
you out of pampers yet? Oh? We are, absolutely that's good.
But if anybody out there within the sound of my boy has a green tea
ball jersey with Harrison on the front of it, I will pay for it
handsomely. Thank you. Cindy Abrams says, I just give her a call
