1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.480
To one point six billion dollars plus
after two o'clock today, My early voting

2
00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:09.960
continues with your balloting, but until
then. Over the years, I've done

3
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.960
some work with the Claremont County Veterans'
Service Commission and also with Butler County,

4
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:19.160
and each time I did it,
I noticed there were many Hamley County veterans

5
00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.519
that were going to Claremont County,
in Butler County and Warren County in order

6
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:28.480
to get services, which generally included
transportation. How do you get through the

7
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:34.479
morass the myriad of difficulties with the
VA referral for a doctor's appointment, etc.

8
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:39.079
And each of the organization has told
me separately something's wrong in Hamlety County

9
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:43.079
with a Veteran Service Commission, and
so not much came of it. I

10
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:45.399
put it in the back, so
well down the road, we'll see what

11
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:51.240
happens. And it's a great thing
that Craig McKee of Channel nine has done

12
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:57.840
an ITEAM type investigation of the Hamley
County Veterans Service Commission and specifically the executive

13
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:03.359
director, guy by the name of
It appears that all the public moneys through

14
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.319
real estate. I think it's point
five mills that are paid into this organization

15
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.799
and if the money's not used,
it just goes to the general fund and

16
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.959
get stuck in with a bunch of
other stuff. And so, Craig McKee

17
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.519
of Channel nine, We're nine stands
for news. You're joining us now,

18
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:21.200
and Craig McKee, welcome to the
Bill Cunningham Show. And can you tell

19
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:27.040
the American people in general what caused
your ITEAM investigation of the Veteran Service Commission

20
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.120
here in Hamilton County. Well,
Bill, it's a pleasure to be on

21
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.159
with you today to talk a little
bit more about this. Ultimately, you

22
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.640
know, we need to be giving
our veterans a hand up. And that's

23
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:42.159
where this all starts. A number
of complaints veteran who said that he went

24
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.799
there many years ago, tried to
get assistance and was pretty much blown off

25
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.599
because he didn't have an appointment.
That turned me then to of course,

26
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.200
the world of social media and the
internet, and I started I just put

27
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.280
a fishhook out there basically to say, hey, any other veterans had any

28
00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:00.840
issues with any VSO in the Southwest
Ohio area. And immediately some of the

29
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.599
initial responses were don't go to Hamilton
County. Go to Butler County, go

30
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.719
to Claremont County, go to Warren
County. You're not going to get help

31
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:13.080
in Hamilton County. I never have
had to use I'm an Air Force veteran.

32
00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:17.000
I've never had to use the services
through the Hamilton County Veterans Service Commission

33
00:02:17.080 --> 00:02:23.080
or the VSO. Even I've gone
through the Cincinnati VA Medical Center and gone

34
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:24.719
through that process, but I've never
had to use this office. But it

35
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:30.639
was clear that there was some concerns
for veterans, so I immediately began reaching

36
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:36.159
out. And when I reached out, the initial call to the office to

37
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:42.159
speak to the executive director, William
Betcher, I basically received a return phone

38
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:47.439
call from the administrative assistant there,
who told me that he told her that

39
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:51.639
he didn't have time to sit down
and referred me to their website. And

40
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:55.080
if you look at their website,
their website actually had outdated information on it

41
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.919
on when their next meetings were going
to take place, so the website didn't

42
00:02:59.919 --> 00:03:01.919
have a lot of information. There
are places to click, you know,

43
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.199
to try to apply for financial assistance
and things like that, but that was

44
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.240
not the best answer I was looking
for, clearly, because I wanted to

45
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.400
do a sit down conversation and talk
about the services they offer veterans, and

46
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:17.039
they wouldn't do it. And to
go back a little bit, as I

47
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.759
understand it, correct me if I'm
wrong that point five mills in real estate

48
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.800
taxes are paid by all property owners. And many many decades ago, the

49
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:30.400
lawmakers in Columbus and all eighty eight
counties created the Veteran Service Commission with Veteran

50
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:36.120
services organizations and the money goes into
the pot point. It's not very much,

51
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.080
but it adds up in Hamleton County
to tens of millions of dollars.

52
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:42.840
And I think the executive director,
William Betcher, is paid north of one

53
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.319
hundred thousand dollars to administer this.
And I've heard for years something's wrong in

54
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:50.560
Hambleton Counties. So let's get into
the numbers you have in your story.

55
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.240
Give me the numbers of veterans serve
compared to the other counties that surround Hamilton.

56
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.400
All right, So Hamilton County serves
right now, according to their data

57
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.599
from twenty twenty to forty one,
one hundred ninety nine veterans. It's more

58
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:06.280
than double what Butler County serves at
twenty thousand, three hundred and forty four

59
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:11.919
and Warren County follows up at twelve
one hundred and eighty one. Now mister

60
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.240
Bencher receives one hundred and twenty three
thousand, eight hundred ninety one dollars for

61
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:20.319
his salary. And they could have
requested we referenced the point five mills.

62
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:27.439
They are allowed to request up to
seven million dollars in change, so seven

63
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:31.360
point zero eighty four and change they
could have requested. Now they did request

64
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.680
one point three almost one point four
million to then only spend nine hundred and

65
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:40.560
thirty thousand dollars. In comparison,
when you look at say Butler County,

66
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.879
a Butler County, you know,
comes in second with a number of veterans

67
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.040
that they're serving. And while they
too sent money back to the general fund

68
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:55.759
of two point five million dollars,
they were allocated four point four million dollars

69
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.920
in change. Obviously, you know, property values differ from county to k

70
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.240
and different counties spend different percentages.
But Hamilton County said to the bottom of

71
00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:08.639
how much they spend of what they're
allotted by the point five mills at eighteen

72
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:13.360
percent of the funding and they spent, which was kind of astonishing. And

73
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.680
again every county is different. You
know, Hamilton County does have a metro

74
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.519
bus service and other rural areas won't
have those types of services. But you

75
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:25.240
know, when you look at Butler
and Claremont County, they have transportation systems

76
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.319
set up where they can get veterans
from door to door, they can pick

77
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.319
them up at their home, take
them to critical medical appointments, and get

78
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:34.279
them back home. Whereas Hamilton County
relies on the metro bus system and they

79
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:40.240
spent five hundred and thirty eight dollars
on their own reporting for those services in

80
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.759
twenty twenty two, Whereas you have
Butler and Warren County. Warren County spent

81
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:48.759
over a million dollars on transportation and
Butler County spent over a quarter of a

82
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:55.360
million for transportation for veterans according to
their reports. So the forty one thousand

83
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.959
veterans in Hamilton County, by the
taxpayers, should have available to them up

84
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:04.360
is seven million dollars a year out
of the Veteran Service Commission slash Veteran Services

85
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:11.319
Organization, and they Hamilton County in
twenty twenty two spent nine hundred thousand,

86
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.759
which is a pittance compared to the
other counties. Now, as far as

87
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:19.319
your services, can you tell the
American people, Craig McKee of Channel nine,

88
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:25.199
what are specifically the services that we
taxpayers want to provide the veterans?

89
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:29.240
What kind of services give me two
or three or four things we should be

90
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:33.040
providing. If we had a competent
Veteran Services Commission in Hamilton County, what

91
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:39.120
are the services? Well, the
interesting thing here, Bill is that the

92
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:45.680
law says that they have to provide
services for processing paperwork, applying for benefits,

93
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:50.920
transportation and other things. But there's
no guidance. Each VSO or VSSE

94
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:57.879
and every single county can operate how
they choose, So there's not a set

95
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:00.959
template by the state that says you
need to provide XYZ. When it comes

96
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.800
to transportation, they leave it up
to the Veterans Service Commission to decide and

97
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:11.680
then ultimately with the Executive Director to
decide what is best for veterans. Now,

98
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.240
since this story ran on Monday,
I can tell you that I have

99
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:19.600
had my inbox flooded with veterans and
my voicemail flooded with veterans who had years

100
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:25.560
and years and years of frustration tied
to the VSC in Hamilton County. And

101
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.759
the problem is that they got so
frustrated that they actually went to then Butler

102
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:33.040
or Warren or Claremont County. And
I've had VFW commanders reach out to me

103
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.920
on email saying that they send their
veterans to other locations because they know the

104
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:42.439
problem. The issue is there are
no official complaints on file when you do

105
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.639
a public records request, there isn't
a laundry list of public at least according

106
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:51.839
to the records that they've kept.
There are no official complaints about the process

107
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:57.879
because veterans get frustrated with the process
and then they go elsewhere instead of filing

108
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.759
an official complaint. That's the quagmire
right now for so many looking at this

109
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.079
that there's an entity in their county. The Hamilton County commissioners are looking at

110
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.560
this now. Hamilton County Commissioners approve
the budget in the sense that the commission

111
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.399
the VSC submits their budget of what
they plan to request, they submit it

112
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.519
to Hamilton County, and Hamilton County
basically rubber stamps it, so to speak.

113
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:26.600
Hamilton County Commissioners have no fingers in
the game plan of what VSC is

114
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:31.720
executing in their county. So right
now Hamilton County Commissioners are trying to figure

115
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:37.960
out how can we help veterans more
with the services, and they've asked that

116
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:43.480
the executive director himself, William Bill
Betcher, comes in or representative of the

117
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.360
VSC to the commission meeting today.
And I've been told just a little while

118
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.080
ago that they do not plan to
attend this one PM meeting the Hamilton County

119
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:58.120
Commissioner. When I did some work
with Claremont County Veteran Services Organization, what

120
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.320
they did was if if there was
a veteran having mental health problems immediately there's

121
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.120
forty forty or fifty veterans every day
that kill themselves, that they would have

122
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:13.320
an emergency meeting with other veterans.
Some other veteran may be down on his

123
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.480
luck and need money to pay the
rent for two months, and so he

124
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.519
would make an application in Claremont County
that veteran, and there's a board and

125
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.200
Clairemont County would say, is this
legit? We have to know this guy.

126
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.039
Someone might have a car payment due
that he can't make, and the

127
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.480
group would get together and say,
you know what, we got to help

128
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.879
Tony Bender. He's served in Vietnam, he's down, he is seventy eight

129
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.120
years old, and let's make a
car payment. But we got to work

130
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.399
with this guy to make sure he's
up on his own. Clairemont County and

131
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.600
Butler County and Warren County, I've
worked with them, do fabulous work with

132
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:50.440
veterans and helping They do events out
there where they have a bake sale,

133
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.159
they raise the election. It's a
very active organization. And every time I

134
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.080
would say what about Cincinnati Hamilton County, and they just their eyes would roll.

135
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:03.039
And it comes down the executive director, William Betcher, is getting paid

136
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:07.360
one hundred and twenty three thousand dollars
a year to serve the needs of veterans.

137
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.480
And either the guy doesn't care or
he borders on in confidence because he's

138
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.600
not getting the job done. And
the fact that at one o'clock today,

139
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:20.919
in about forty five minutes, your
sources tell you that haven't been requested to

140
00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:24.519
appear before the Commission, that Betcher
and his band is not going to show

141
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:28.200
up. That is correct, That
is correct, And you know, I

142
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:33.679
do want to be you know clear
here that what they're doing is not technically

143
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:39.279
illegal their operation correct. It's an
optics issue. If other counties have you

144
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.000
know, lower they don't have seven
million dollars to spend. However, they

145
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.279
are running all of these other programs
to help veterans and have more staff members

146
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.919
in their office to process claims.
You know, it's an optics issue.

147
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:54.919
And all we want to know.
All I want to know on behalf of

148
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.759
the taxpayers and veterans in Hamilton County
is what are they doing and why do

149
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.519
they think what they have set up
is the best game plan to help veterans

150
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.360
and to give veterans a hand up
that they deserve. That's the essence of

151
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.080
it. And maybe William Betcher's the
best thing since slice bread. Who knows,

152
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.639
But everyone you talk to around the
Try States say, boy, don't

153
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.840
go to Hamlet And County if you're
a veteran because and you have something in

154
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.879
your story about a veteran showed up
at the office I think and spoke to

155
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:30.919
a woman there and the veteran tried
to help getting through the VA morass and

156
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:35.600
benefits kind of describe what happened with
that with that veteran. Yeah, as

157
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:39.360
Ernest Coleman went there again. He
didn't have an appointment. He showed up

158
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.840
out of the blue, unclear of
even how to navigate the process. So,

159
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:46.039
like so many veterans when we get
out of the service, especially,

160
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.159
it's a little bit better now,
but when I got out of the service

161
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.360
in two thousand, it was pretty
much there's the door, see you later.

162
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.679
So the guidance the veterans today receive
is better than it used to be,

163
00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.879
But for so many veterans, you
know, trying to navigate the process

164
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:05.799
on how you get benefits and how
do you apply and what boxes do I

165
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:07.320
need to check on this form?
And how do I submit the form?

166
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.200
Well, I mean he went to
the office he the according to him,

167
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:20.039
the receptionist was very rude, did
not provide any information, hammered him about

168
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.440
not having an appointment and just coming
in. And then when he asked for

169
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.879
a supervisor, as he explained,
and another older gentleman came in from the

170
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.799
back, and he says, pretty
much gave him the same run around,

171
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.799
and then he was like, that's
that's it. I'm going elsewhere. And

172
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.600
he actually went up to Dayton to
get some information instead, And you know,

173
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.279
he's not alone. There are so
many veterans that go through this process.

174
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:46.000
In fact, Congressman Winstrip who I've
spoken with on many veterans issues,

175
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:50.320
he even had his own, you
know issues when filing claims and going through

176
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:56.080
his process, and he's a representative. So this goes across the board that

177
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.840
that you know, it's not a
simple task. And while the government is

178
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.559
has tried to streamline this process for
veterans and it is better today than it

179
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:09.120
used to be, it's still a
process. And if you are unsure how

180
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.080
to navigate that process, we need
people in offices. And it's nothing against

181
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.399
the Veteran Service officers who are doing
the work doing the work in Hamilton County.

182
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:20.279
The men and women in the offices
there are that are filing the claims,

183
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.440
that are doing what they're supposed to
do. And so many of these

184
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:28.639
vsos across the Southwest region and even
across the state, they are doing great

185
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.360
things to process claims because I see
the numbers of claims that they have all

186
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:39.720
processed. But that said, clearly, Hamilton County appears from the outside,

187
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.519
you know, when you compare them
to other operations, they just aren't doing

188
00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:48.039
necessarily what they could be doing,
there's so much more money left on the

189
00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:50.879
table that they could be using.
And just to let your viewers not because

190
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:54.159
I know you have a broad range
of viewers that listen online as well.

191
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.639
We actually mind the data for five
years. That's where the third over thirty

192
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.000
one million dollars comes from. The
it's unspent over the five year mark.

193
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:07.240
Hamilton County VSC did not request They
left thirty one million dollars on the table,

194
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:09.840
so to speak, did not request
that for any services tied to veterans.

195
00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:13.399
And again many counties do return money. But we have put in this

196
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:18.519
story online at WCPO dot com slash
home front. In this story is a

197
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.639
graph for every single county in the
state of Ohio. You can go click

198
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.360
on your county and it'll tell you
how many veterans are there, how much

199
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.879
money they spent, how much money
they didn't spend, and how much went

200
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.159
back to general funds and other data
as well. So I encourage your viewers

201
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.799
that are in other counties to definitely
go check out and see what their own

202
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.240
county is doing, and if they
have any concerns, certainly reach out to

203
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.480
me. And lastly, Craig McKee, I would say that when the money

204
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:45.320
is not spent or not requested,
it goes into the general fund, which

205
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.080
is hundreds of millions of dollars,
and a set of we taxpayers who put

206
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:52.039
zero point five mills, which is
a very small amount each into the end

207
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.960
of the pot to help veterans,
that simply has sucked into the whole system.

208
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.279
And there needs to be a refe
of the Veteran Service Commission. And

209
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:07.399
lastly, I would say that at
this point it appears from your story Hamany

210
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:11.480
County commissioners requested somebody coming at one
o'clock. But they're a separate organization.

211
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.679
They're not part of the Haminy County
Commission. In other words, they're just

212
00:15:15.720 --> 00:15:20.039
by themselves out there, and like
Alisha raised an each three house, they're

213
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:24.240
not in charge. They can hey, they can request it, maybe the

214
00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:28.399
county prosecutor. There's nothing criminal here
we're talking about, I don't think correct.

215
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:33.080
And so it's like one of these
government entities is floating around exactly.

216
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:37.360
And I've reached out to the Ohio
Department of Veteran Services as well with additional

217
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.519
public records requests. Somebody at the
tipster on the inside has told me that

218
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:46.159
these vsos are not even audited.
There's no kind of checks and balance.

219
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.759
I've obviously reached out to the state
to verify that information and to see if

220
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:52.720
there are audits taking place, give
me copies of them, let me know

221
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:58.639
what you are keeping an eye on. And there's certification questions as well that

222
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.559
have popped up, and whether or
not certifications that are required, whether or

223
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:06.480
not they're in place. So we
are continuing to ask the questions and push

224
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.600
for answers to make sure that our
veterans again are getting the hand up that

225
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:12.120
they deserve in our community. Too
many vets slip through the cracks, and

226
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:15.159
we can't let that happen. Well
after the election, there's so much going

227
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:18.120
on, which youry now on Tuesday, and of course Mike Dwine, I

228
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:22.200
got him coming on, I got
Frankle Rose coming on. He's a veteran.

229
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.600
After the election, state government's got
to put some teeth, some audit.

230
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.159
Something's got I'm sure Mike DeWine will
do it, Frankle Rose will do

231
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.159
it. Bill Sites will do it
somehow. Because of your investigation, this

232
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:38.679
needs to rise up to a higher
level where since it's public money being spent,

233
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:41.159
we have to have audits. We
have to know what's going on.

234
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.039
At this point, they're on their
own doing their best. But after the

235
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:49.360
election, let's work together with political
contacts or whatever, change the law so

236
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.759
that veterans the forty one thousand in
Hamlin A County are treated as they should

237
00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.919
be. Craig McKee, great work, and thank you for coming on the

238
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.960
Bill Cunningham Show. And let's touch
base a week or two after the election.

239
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.559
That sounds great, Bill, Thanks
for having me. All right,

240
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:07.559
God bless you. Let's continue with
more zero point five mills. I don't

241
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:10.880
know what that is. It's about. Each taxpayer is paying about one hundred

242
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.920
and ten dollars a year in Hamilton
County for veteran services, and we have

243
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.519
a department here that's not functioning properly
by any fair estimate, and we can't

244
00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:22.559
you can't get answers. There is
separate entity, so state government's got to

245
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.000
get involved. They created the entity, now they need to improve it.

246
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.359
So let's work on it together after
the election when things calm down, if

247
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:37.400
they ever calmed down. Bill Cunningham
News Radio seven hundred WULW Genesis Diamond's biggest

248
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.079
and last seats, which is probably
about the three or four mile marker of

249
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:45.720
I seventy five North is shut down
because a horse trailer is on fire.

250
00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:51.160
So we've got all hell breaking loose, including Ron Druce Chicken. There's a

251
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.359
crisis here at the station. We
must be fed. So as soon as

252
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:56.880
that thing's opening up, we'll let
you know it's going to back up all

253
00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:02.000
the way into the Bluegrass. Or
I spent some time last night at Walt's

254
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:07.160
hitching Post with many great Kentuckians raising
a few bucks for Rob Sanders. Who's

255
00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:12.119
the Joe Dieters the Melissa Powers of
Kenton County. Of course, he claims

256
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:17.559
Melissa Powers is the Rob Sanders of
Amley County. Different matter. Now,

257
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:22.119
going back to this issue briefly,
I have a text here from a Navy

258
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:29.960
veteran who says to me the following, among other things, that it kind

259
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:36.759
of angers him that he pays taxes
into a fund and that it's being administered

260
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:38.559
so poorly. He says to me, I got out of the Navy in

261
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:42.920
nineteen seventy one. Fortunately I've never
needed benefits from the VA, but if

262
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:47.920
I did, I would have no
idea what's available for how to access them?

263
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.960
I hate to think I'm paying extra
on real estate taxes to his CIS

264
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:56.119
vets, but ending up in the
general fund. Couldn't they at least spend

265
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:00.000
the money occasionally contact forty three thousand
vets him the county. The answer is

266
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.240
yes. Here's the problem. As
you know, if you pay attention to

267
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:07.920
the station, which we encourage you
to do so in ever increasing numbers,

268
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:14.440
there's veteran services organization in each county. Many years ago, decades ago,

269
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:22.400
the good folks and the General Assembly
in Columbus put together a program that charges

270
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.960
every property owner real estate property owner
point five mills, which is a very

271
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.200
small amount, I might only be
eighty dollars a year that goes into veteran

272
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:36.000
services in each county. And there's
no oversight. And this was done off

273
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:41.599
to the side. And so each
county has their own Veteran Service administration.

274
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:48.960
And the way it works is that
the presiding Judge of the county appoints the

275
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:52.519
board itself. There's like five members
of the board and there generally are veterans,

276
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.200
but there's no rules on that either
they're veterans, and so they're appointed

277
00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:03.119
in order to administer the program.
And so it's called the Veteran Services Commission

278
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.319
and Veteran Service Organization, and each
county does it on their own. There's

279
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.680
no particular rules, and so it's
been going on for a long time.

280
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.640
Claremont County and Butler County and Warren
County do great work, and I would

281
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:21.720
assume the other counties do also,
but I'm not sure. And so every

282
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:26.759
year there should be seven million dollars
spent on veteran services, and the veteran

283
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:32.160
boards in each county determine what to
spend the money on, and so they

284
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:34.400
keep an eye on the money.
And these are great Americans, the groups

285
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:38.279
I work with, and those other
three counties, there's like five to ten

286
00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:42.880
members of the board. You make
an application for the money, there's investigations

287
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:47.839
briefly conducted as to make sure it's
legit, and then the money's available to

288
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:52.319
a vet. It could be paying
a month or two of rent. It

289
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:56.960
could be groceries, it could be
transportation to a doctor's appointment, it could

290
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:03.200
be emergency veteran services, psychological services. And in other words, each board

291
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.079
kind of determines what to spend the
money on. Those other counties around Hamlet

292
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:10.480
County do a very good job because
I was involved with them. I watched

293
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.920
it, I saw it. I
went to events our own Jen Motley,

294
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:18.359
who's a wonderful sales exec. So
let's get the word out to tell veterans

295
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:23.400
in these counties the services are available
to be determined, whatever services you need.

296
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:29.599
The board or the commission in each
county determines whether it makes sense to

297
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:34.200
spend money on this case. And
these are generally conservative Republican, not always

298
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:40.160
Republican, but conservative fifty sixty seven
year old men that want to make sure

299
00:21:40.599 --> 00:21:45.359
that public money is spent properly.
In a sense, no one's in charge

300
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.759
other than the commission in each county. The county commissioners are not in charge.

301
00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:52.720
I talked to Joe Dieters about this
the two or three years ago.

302
00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:57.759
Prosecutor's office are not involved unless there's
a crime being committed, and no one

303
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:03.599
no one is a leg that Executive
Director William Betcher is committing a crime.

304
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:11.160
Many alleged simply incompetence because other counties
are spending up to the limits. In

305
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.240
Hamilton County in the last year available, instead of spending seven million dollars on

306
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:19.480
veteran services, they spent about nine
hundred thousand, which meant six point one

307
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:26.640
million went into the general fund.
And so I can recall a conversation I

308
00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:32.119
had with a county commissioner about five
or six years ago about something's wrong in

309
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:36.079
Hamilton County. Whenever you talk to
Claremont County, Butler County, Warren County,

310
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:40.039
Green County, Highland County, they
all say the same thing, something's

311
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:45.400
wrong in Hamblton County goes services.
The forty two thousand veterans in Hamlton County

312
00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:51.480
so identified not to go to Hambleton
County to get its to get services,

313
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:55.920
they have to go somewhere else.
And this commissioner told me, quote,

314
00:22:56.039 --> 00:23:00.000
leave it alone. I said,
well, well, I'm going to work

315
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:03.559
for the vets. You know,
i'm age appropriate to guys who are in

316
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.680
the Vietnam War that I want to
make sure these guys are taken care of,

317
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:11.960
because we're paying taxes every year for
this to happen. I was told

318
00:23:11.960 --> 00:23:15.880
again, leave it alone. But
leave it alone. A commissioner told me

319
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:18.799
that if some note about five years
ago, he said, we don't control

320
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:25.319
it at all. And so after
the election, when everything settles out in

321
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:29.119
a month or two, I'm going
to work with Craig McKee of Channel nine

322
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:33.559
and get the politicians in Columbus.
I'm sure Mike DeWine will say yes.

323
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:38.079
I'm sure that Senator Huffman will say
yes. I'm sure that Speaker of the

324
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:42.279
House Stevens will say yes. To
do some audits find out what's going on.

325
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:48.799
The person executive director in Hamlet County
is appointed by the Commissioners, the

326
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:53.079
Veteran Service Commissioners, who are appointed
by the presiding Judge of Common Police Court,

327
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.799
who has no idea what's going on. A piece of paper is put

328
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.000
in front of the judge, he
signs off. That's it. So the

329
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:03.720
commissioners are re pointed another three year
term and they of course hire William Betcher

330
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:07.359
to administer the program, which are
doing a terrible job compared to other counties.

331
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:15.200
So I talked to Craig McKee Channel
nine off the air and after things

332
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:22.079
settle, we're gonna do something in
Columbus to change the way veterans in Hamlety

333
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:25.799
County are treated. And most don't
even know what the program is. What

334
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.279
most don't even know and that's why
there was advertisement going on here and elsewhere.

335
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:36.440
If you're a veteran call the Veteran
Service Commission in your home county.

336
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:41.400
Give them your name, your identifiers, you're on the list. Claremont County

337
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:48.319
and Butler County would send out emails
and phone calls. These services are available

338
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:49.759
one, two, three, four
five. If you have a need in

339
00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:56.440
these areas, please contact the administrative
assistant to the Executive Director and we will

340
00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:02.759
provide the services. How about that? And so the whole system is crumbling

341
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:08.799
and veteran needs are being ignored because
of just a malaise or an incompetence,

342
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:14.279
and no one's alleging criminal misbehavior.
What it is is not really caring a

343
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:18.720
lot. And when Craig McKee four
times tries to have an interview with William

344
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.359
Betcher and he doesn't have time,
he's too busy, that tells you all

345
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.240
you need to know. Hamiony County
commissioners are not involved. Politicians are not

346
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.640
involved. The common pleas presiding judge
making the appointment doesn't know who he's appointing,

347
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.599
doesn't And the whole system operates,
and the executive director makes about one

348
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:38.559
hundred and twenty five thousand dollars a
year along with staff. I would assume

349
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:44.839
it's two or three hundred thousand of
the nine hundred thousand has spent administratively,

350
00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:49.079
and most veterans, the forty two
thousand in Hamilty County have no idea what

351
00:25:49.240 --> 00:25:56.440
services are available at all, don't
have no clue because the Commission itself does

352
00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:02.519
not reach out to tell them.
So I'm off my soafbox, but We're

353
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:04.640
going to try to stay with it. This is metastasized because of the I

354
00:26:04.839 --> 00:26:11.319
Team Channel nine now after one o'clock
today, we have Brendan call culll who

355
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.880
was the chief of staff some twenty
years ago to Charlie Luke, and he

356
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.359
runs the Chamber of Commerce. And
I've had on many on each side of

357
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:22.359
the issue. In a sense,
I don't have a dog in this fight

358
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:27.559
because I live in Sycamore Township.
I don't live I don't live in the

359
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:33.160
City of Cincinnati anymore. And it
looks to me if I had to vote

360
00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:38.000
on this thing, I would probably
vote yes that may hurt the ballot issue

361
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:44.519
in the City of Cincinnati, because
I trust Bill Sides and Senator Blessing who

362
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:51.200
put the guardrails in place to make
sure the money was not Pilford or frittered

363
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:56.119
away by general incompetence. The city
of Cincinnati is poorly run by any objective

364
00:26:56.160 --> 00:27:02.079
measurement. It's terrible. And if
the guard rails were not in place by

365
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:07.160
Bill sitz Rock Ribbed Republican and Columbus, I probably would have voted, know

366
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:10.839
if I had an opportunity, which
I do not. I voted on Tuesday

367
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:15.200
at the Board of Elections in Norwood
and it was wonderful. So we're going

368
00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:21.039
to have probably have on some other
opponent. I present the argument for you

369
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:26.319
to decide. But this one entity
which one does not want to be in

370
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.000
bed I think with a railroad right
now, especially this one Norfolk Southern,

371
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:34.160
they got problems, they got lawsuits. Heck, I don't know the lawsuits

372
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.599
may turn out. The number I
hear is eight hundred million dollars they're going

373
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:44.599
to lose on East Palestine. And
if there's another derailment might be another eight

374
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:48.200
hundred million or more. What if
the dirailment took place in downtown Columbus and

375
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.000
the company had to file bankruptcy to
get out of it? Now what Well,

376
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:56.200
then the argument is well, Penn
Central or one of the other railroads

377
00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:59.359
would step up and take it over, well, it would be in litigation

378
00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:03.920
for years and the payments would not
have to be made. Right now,

379
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:07.920
the payments are about twenty five million, and the experts say it's going to

380
00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:12.359
be closer to one hundred million every
year once they sell and do the bonds

381
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:15.440
and stock. Even if it's a
good stock, one does not want to

382
00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:21.359
put all your eggs in one basket. Enron was a great company until it

383
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:26.400
wasn't, and right now Apple is
a great company until it isn't a great

384
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:33.519
company. So to diverse your investments
is a wise matter. At one point,

385
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:40.720
the city of Cincinnati owned railroads and
canals and subway systems and water works,

386
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.160
and the sewer districts and airports Lunking
and Blue Ash, and the city

387
00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:52.599
golf courses or avon fields, run
so well by professional golfer Run Dumas,

388
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:55.200
who, by the way, is
alive. I thought he was dead.

389
00:28:55.319 --> 00:28:59.400
Well, he's alive. The reports
of his decease are a bit premature,

390
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:06.400
but the city fathers had great vision
and having assets. Cincinnati was once the

391
00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:10.160
fourth largest city in America, and
it was alive and vibrant. It was

392
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:15.359
a jumping off point to the west. And now they still have assets left,

393
00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:19.480
and I'd rather have assets one point
six billion run by individuals like Fifth

394
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:26.200
Third Bank, then have it all
in one basket when it's iffy. Now

395
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.720
the argument as well, if Norfolk
goes out of business, some other railroad

396
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.319
will pick it up. That might
be in litigation for years and the payments

397
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:37.240
suspend it as the bankruptcy judge determines
who gets paid, where, when and

398
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.039
how. I don't know, And
maybe they don't own the rails anyway.

399
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:45.839
On the railroad, they will put
there the tenant and the landlord, where

400
00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:48.319
the landlord will be sued for years
to determine who owns what, where,

401
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.319
when and why. And then the
environmental studies commence. What the hell are

402
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.119
we going to do? So someone
wants to give the city one point six

403
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:00.720
billion dollars to invest, keep it
off to the side. Today it's about

404
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:04.640
five percent. That five percent would
be about eighty million dollars a year,

405
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:10.880
My dear park math tells me,
so let's continue with more. And lastly,

406
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:17.000
I love pointing out hypocrisies. Jen
Saki, the former Biden Press secretary,

407
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:21.839
married a man from Elder High School. She describes herself as a devout

408
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:26.160
Roman Catholic in support of abortion,
which is largely the killing of unborn,

409
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:30.640
healthy babies. Every now and then
a baby is born without a brain,

410
00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:33.359
that's a different matter. If a
rape takes place, that's less than one

411
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:41.000
percent of abortions, that's not good. But she defends her position on abortion

412
00:30:41.480 --> 00:30:47.799
by saying she's a practicing Roman Catholic. And also she has often said that

413
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:52.880
Joe Biden is devout when it comes
to his practicing Catholicism. She had said,

414
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:57.160
at one point this morning, President
Biden started to stay attending church with

415
00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:02.880
his family. And as you know, Joe Biden quote is a devout Roman

416
00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:07.359
Catholic who attends church regularly. And
of course this is my comment that means

417
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:14.440
he supports killing healthy unborn babies.
That is the definition in her mind of

418
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:18.920
a devout Roman Catholic. And we
may talk about rape and incest off to

419
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:23.720
the side, may talk about the
life of the mother, but when it

420
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:29.240
comes to abortion, fix in your
mind this thought that the great majority of

421
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:34.039
abortions, the killing of the unborn, occur when the baby is happy,

422
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:41.799
healthy and wanting to be born,
badly wants to be born, fight like

423
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:48.319
hell during an abortion to survive,
So don't use rape as an argument to

424
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:53.640
allow the other ninety nine percent of
abortions. Mothers should not kill their unborn,

425
00:31:53.720 --> 00:32:00.119
healthy babies. According to most Democrats, they should. We disagree.

426
00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:05.200
I don't know how you can be
a devout Roman Catholic and support killing the

427
00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:09.440
unborn, but they don't have to
face up that. Later on, let's

428
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:15.079
continue later on, we have Brendan
Call, Who with the Chamber and more.

429
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:24.319
Bill Cunningham News Radio seven hundred wulws
in the morning, right right,

430
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:28.720
McConnell, what's the point of waking
up of you don't do it right?

431
00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:31.480
Right? The best way to start
your days with me, Mike McConnell.

432
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:35.920
I got the latest news, traffic
from Chuck Ingram, weather from Jennifer Ketchmark,

433
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:38.839
and sports from mister Seg Dennison,
plus Wall Street News interviews out the

434
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:44.119
wazoo, and a full morning of
good old Mike mcconnald fun in the morning,

435
00:32:44.359 --> 00:32:46.640
in the morning, in the morning, Tomorrow morning at five on seventh,

436
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:52.000
I've been w in the morning this
Thanksgiving. Zero's is serving deals as

437
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:55.359
sweet as pie. That's why I
call zero as every fall to get my

438
00:32:55.359 --> 00:33:04.880
home and see why Keward on our
website. Cash, that's answer it now,

439
00:33:07.240 --> 00:33:10.160
Bill Cunningham, the Great America,
and let's continue. We never stop.

440
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:15.519
We simply continue. Schedule Tomorrow at
noon on Friday will be Frank Lese

441
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:21.480
Frank Lerosa three four seven one talking
about the election and more. But until

442
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:25.240
then, Brendan calls the President and
CEO of the Chamber of Commerce, and

443
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:30.079
Brendan call, welcome again to the
Bill Cunningham Show. And Brendan, first

444
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:34.599
of all, do you miss your
days as the halderman and the airly command,

445
00:33:34.599 --> 00:33:38.079
the praetorian guard around Charles Lucan is
the mayor? Do you kind of

446
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:43.440
miss those days at all? I
mean it's twenty years ago now, which

447
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:45.599
is hard to believe. But the
best part was that you would just call

448
00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:49.960
me randomly and I would pick up
the phone and you would be there.

449
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:53.640
Bill. Pretty exciting, wasn't it
great? But do you wish do you

450
00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:59.039
wish in a sense that Chez would
come back and seize power somehow? We

451
00:33:59.160 --> 00:34:05.039
have? We have fancy mayors.
We got you know, PG Purevoll smells

452
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:08.760
great, and I'm thinking about that. Charlie was fancy back then, not

453
00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:13.280
really, he was a bowling bowling
pin kind of a guy. He liked

454
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.199
to drink beer, you know,
and go to you know he did,

455
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:20.920
I know it, just drink a
little. But the track. You liked

456
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:23.079
to be on the rail or wherever
here they come, here they come.

457
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:29.599
All right. Uh, well,
let's talk about issue issue twenty two.

458
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:32.920
I've had on your good friend being
on the rail speaking of being on the

459
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:38.360
rail the rail. Was that a
nice segue right there? Very nice,

460
00:34:38.480 --> 00:34:45.119
very nice. The I've had on
Chris Smitherman several times and other supporters I

461
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:50.320
know, And this is something where
you have the far left and the far

462
00:34:50.480 --> 00:34:57.119
right kind of united. So I
see a news conference with Tom Brinkman on

463
00:34:57.159 --> 00:35:01.000
the far right, along with the
NAACP and one of the Mallories. I

464
00:35:01.000 --> 00:35:05.159
don't know which one. There's so
many. They got the far left and

465
00:35:05.199 --> 00:35:07.880
the far right together and then you
got the middle. At this point,

466
00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:14.840
as the Chamber, can you make
a one or two paragraph pitch as to

467
00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:19.480
why the arguments against this are wrong
and why we should sell for one point

468
00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:23.320
six billion dollars a huge as set
of the city. Yeah, I'm happy

469
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:28.639
to do that. I mean,
this is an important issue. I'm glad

470
00:35:28.679 --> 00:35:30.960
you're talking about it. I appreciate
that you've had people on from both sides.

471
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:35.880
We don't do politics, but I
think when you've got the far left

472
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:38.360
on one end and the far right
on the other end, you should listen

473
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:43.880
to the great middle. And the
great middle sees this very clearly, which

474
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:50.079
this is a good deal for the
Cincinnati taxpayer. We right now have a

475
00:35:50.199 --> 00:35:53.800
railroad where the only city in America
that has a railroad, the only city

476
00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:58.480
in America that has a railroad because
one hundred and fifty some years ago the

477
00:35:58.639 --> 00:36:01.840
forefather fathers of the city built this
railroad, and now we have it.

478
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:07.920
There is one buyer, and they
are willing to trade us for that railroad

479
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:15.000
one point six billion dollars, which
can be a diversified investment for the entire

480
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:19.840
future of the city. And if
somebody said to me, do I want

481
00:36:19.880 --> 00:36:25.760
to bet my future on one asset
a railroad or one point six billion dollars

482
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:31.440
which I can professionally invest, keep
out of the hands of the politician and

483
00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:37.880
ensure that we have roads and bridges
and parks and rec centers that are kept

484
00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:42.559
up to date for the foreseeable future. I'm taking what the middle wants,

485
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:45.960
which is this is a good deal
to sell this railroad and people should vote

486
00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:50.920
yes for this. You know,
look, if you had one stock in

487
00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:54.559
your retirement portfolio, if you opened
up your bank account for your retirement,

488
00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:59.159
yours has probably got many many zeros
in it. But if you opened up

489
00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:02.760
your bank account and you were totally
invested in one thing, we would all

490
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:08.000
say you're nuts, You're totally nuts. Now we have an opportunity to build

491
00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:13.719
our future with a diversified, safe
investment, and that's what that's why business

492
00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:15.920
leaders think this makes sense. All
Chris Smitherman and others say, among the

493
00:37:15.960 --> 00:37:22.519
following things, there's no transparency,
there were no meetings held. And secondly,

494
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:25.199
this says worth a lot more money
than one point six billion. How

495
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:30.480
do we know that Penn Central won't
give us two point five billion we're selling

496
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:35.599
it? Short answer the question about
transparency. Then about the asset value,

497
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:37.840
Well, first of all, let
me do the asset value first. My

498
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:44.360
dad was in sale for fifty years
and he said something is only worth what

499
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:51.559
someone else is willing to pay for
it. And so consultants, railroad experts,

500
00:37:51.800 --> 00:37:57.000
banker experts who have been working for
the city's Railroad Commission have valued this

501
00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:00.239
and said that the one point six
billion dollars is a good deal. But

502
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:04.440
here's what's important, and people are
not paying attention to this. It's not

503
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:08.599
like somebody else randomly could come in
and buy and use this line. Norfolk

504
00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:14.119
and Southern has almost permanent rights to
be able to use this line for the

505
00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:16.719
foreseeable future because it's all tied up. And by the way, they're the

506
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:20.440
only customer on the north end of
the south end of it. It's not

507
00:38:20.480 --> 00:38:22.519
like you can just go sell it
to somebody else who gets into it.

508
00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:29.159
So the idea. It's amazing to
me how many people in the Cincinnati area

509
00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:36.719
have suddenly become experts and railroad valuation. The reality is the railroad Board,

510
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:40.159
including my good friend Paul Sylvester,
who is a CFO and a CPA,

511
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:45.000
and an auditor who has been on
that board for forty years, Tim Reardon

512
00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:50.719
who is a city manager, two
mayors Amy Murray who was a tremendous council

513
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:54.400
member Republican on city council. They
hired experts to go out and value this

514
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:59.039
and get a deal. And I
know that folks on Twitter think that they

515
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:02.000
can figure this out better than a
whole lot of experts, but the reality

516
00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:07.039
is one point six billion dollars for
an asset that only Norfolk Southern can buy

517
00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:12.480
and use is a great deal for
the taxpayers. And thirdly, Brendan Call

518
00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:15.760
of the Chamber, I would also
say this that one of the arguments being

519
00:39:15.840 --> 00:39:21.519
used against the sale is that the
is that PG pierrival and others are going

520
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:23.599
to get their hands on the money. I head on your good friend Bill

521
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:29.760
Sites about three or four days ago, and he put the legislation together to

522
00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:32.880
put guardrails as to how the money
can be invested, how much money can

523
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:37.679
be used here? How much money
you got? Lou Blessing and Bill Sides

524
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:44.079
rock ribbed Republicans members of the Rapan
Society who worship at the feet of William

525
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:47.719
F. Buckley, saying I support
this because we're the ones that said what

526
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:51.840
they can do with it. So
explain the argument, Well, peer of

527
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:53.119
all is going to get the money, He's going to blow it on suits

528
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:58.360
and ties, and somehow there's going
to be nothing. Kind of give us

529
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:01.320
the answer of that one. I
mean, look, I'm standing with Bill

530
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:07.480
Sites on this one one hundred percent. Because the Ohio legislature had the pass

531
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:10.320
law to make sure that this transaction
could happen. That was an important step

532
00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:15.360
and in their wisdom, and I
mean that without any level of sarcasm.

533
00:40:15.639 --> 00:40:19.960
Bill Sites and Blessing, as you
talked about, they put very strict guardrails

534
00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:23.199
in here so that this can only
be used for existing infrastructure. It's as

535
00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:28.599
strict as it comes. This is
not a pet project fund. And the

536
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:32.719
rules in terms of how much the
city and the politicians are allowed to spend

537
00:40:34.199 --> 00:40:37.920
are very clear, and they're set
in such a way that we won't be

538
00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:42.519
able to waste this money or spend
it down or blow it on some grand

539
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:45.440
idea that somebody has. This is
about the fact that we're an old city,

540
00:40:46.119 --> 00:40:50.360
and any city in America that's as
old as us would want to have

541
00:40:50.840 --> 00:40:53.079
this kind of revenue stream be able
to pour back into parks and pour back

542
00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:58.880
into bridges and roads. It's this
is you know, we're a business organization.

543
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:04.320
We have three thousand members CFOs.
I've been talking to CEOs who were,

544
00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:07.880
you know, studying the city's finances
as part of the Futures Commission,

545
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:12.559
and they're all looking at us saying
this is a great deal, and how

546
00:41:12.639 --> 00:41:15.639
quickly can we get this pass because
it makes sense for the taxpayer for the

547
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:21.159
future of the city, and it's
conservatively financed, and it's sustainable forever,

548
00:41:21.639 --> 00:41:24.760
and it's a diversified investment. I
mean, those things altogether are enough.

549
00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:30.079
But the but the you know,
then you're driving around a city road and

550
00:41:30.360 --> 00:41:35.400
you bring it home and they're a
mess. They're a mess. They're a

551
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:37.880
mess, and we got to do
a better job. Yeah, let's go

552
00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:43.360
back to the eighteen seventies. You
might recall the first few years of the

553
00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:49.880
Ulysses s Grand administration. He sees
power in eighteen sixty eight until eighteen seventy

554
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:53.199
six, and at that point the
city fathers a Procter and Gamble and other

555
00:41:53.280 --> 00:41:59.599
manufacturing companies wanted to reopen commerce with
the South that was on his back.

556
00:41:59.679 --> 00:42:04.119
It was devastated by the great victory
of the Union Army against the Democrats in

557
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:07.880
the South called the Confederates. And
so they said, well, instead of

558
00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:13.280
relying upon whatever to get product from, get the soap down to Atlanta and

559
00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:16.360
down to Tennessee. And all the
railroads are obliterated, all the bridges are

560
00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:20.880
out. There was no building over
twenty feet tall anywhere in the South.

561
00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:23.960
Let's buy a strip of land from
Cincinnati to Chattanooga, and then we're going

562
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:29.639
to have other branches out of Chattanooga. And for pennies on the dollar,

563
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:35.360
they bought land which was about thirty
feet wide across all these jurisdictions that couldn't

564
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:37.360
be done today. In a heartbeat, nobody could have done this. And

565
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:40.880
all of a sudden, Procter and
Gambles started selling soap in the South.

566
00:42:42.400 --> 00:42:45.480
And then I think about the Erie
Canal, which was dug by hard working

567
00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:51.360
men. Yes, men dug the
Erie Canal from Lake Erie a dollar way

568
00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:55.079
down to the Ohio River. And
that's what Cincinnati did. We had the

569
00:42:55.159 --> 00:43:00.039
Cincinnati water Works, we had the
Metropolitan Sara District, Blue Ash Airport,

570
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:05.559
we had all the golf courses.
So for a long time, men harry

571
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:09.239
s men looked ahead to the future
and said, you know what we're gonna

572
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:13.679
do. We're gonna have a city
that'll be the shining city on the Hill

573
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:17.239
described by Ronald Reagan. Now you
can't do that anymore today. But one

574
00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:22.639
point six billion dollars is an extrement
filled amount of money, and as long

575
00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:27.519
as Bill Site says, it is. When Bill Sites and Blessings said,

576
00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:30.320
it's a good deal. I take
the money and run because I don't know

577
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:36.960
what they spent eight hundred million dollars
Norfolk Southern when they blew up East Palestine.

578
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:40.320
What if they blew up two more
cities and they fouled bankruptcy and now

579
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:45.800
it's nothing that's exactly right. Can
you smell what I'm cooking? I worry

580
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:51.000
about the Erie Canal, That's what
I worry about. It's this is holding

581
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:55.519
on to this for nostalgia purposes or
because you don't trust someone at city Hall

582
00:43:55.719 --> 00:44:00.320
is short sighted. This is a
long term play the future of the city,

583
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:04.599
and we need to think like our
forefathers did, which is invest in

584
00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:07.519
the future of the city and up
one point six billion dollars that we can

585
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:12.480
conservatively invest and spend, which is
what business leaders would say to do.

586
00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:15.840
It's the right thing to do for
the future of the city. We would

587
00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:20.800
It's like in some ways it is
like a lottery ticket for an American city,

588
00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:23.559
because cities across the country are looking
to be able to fix up their

589
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:27.880
infrastructure, and we have the ability
to do it if people vote yes on

590
00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:31.039
twenty two. And that's why the
Chambers for it. Imagine back in the

591
00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:37.440
eighteen eighties and nineties that there was
commerce that had to happen between Illinois and

592
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:44.800
Pennsylvania northern Ohio, and thousands of
Harrys men with shovels dug a ditch that

593
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:49.239
was twenty feet wide and twenty feet
deep, and they flooded Lake Erie,

594
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:53.360
brought down the canal which concluded in
Central Parkway in Cincinnati and went down to

595
00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:57.880
the Higo River. Some products can
get to Europe, and we did that.

596
00:44:57.960 --> 00:45:00.559
We had big ideas, in big
vision. We did great things like

597
00:45:00.639 --> 00:45:06.320
try to build a subway system,
and in Cincinnati still exists. Chance took

598
00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:08.599
me down on the subway, but
our rats and mice were running around.

599
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:12.719
Hell. I thought I was at
a Democratic convention, for God's sakes,

600
00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:16.320
and so I'm looking around at this
subhodd Well. We thought big. But

601
00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:21.519
right now somebody wants to give us
one point six billion. I take the

602
00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:24.360
money and run. What do you
say? I agree, I take them,

603
00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:28.360
take the money, invest in the
future of the city. Do it

604
00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:32.840
wisely. It's protected from the politicians, and it's for our future. And

605
00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:36.920
Bill Site says to do it,
and he's a rock ribbed Republican. Is

606
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:39.639
that so? So what do you
say to the NAACP. We're in the

607
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:43.880
Chamber of Commerce. I mean,
look this, we looked at this every

608
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:47.800
single which way we've been for transportation
investments. To Prince Spence Bridge, fixing

609
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:50.960
the breath, well, I think
we call it. We're calling the Cunningham

610
00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:53.599
Bridge now the Prince Bens the Great
American, Great American, we've been the

611
00:45:53.639 --> 00:45:55.920
Great American, actually, the Great
American Bridge. It's a great name.

612
00:45:57.119 --> 00:46:00.559
And we've been working on this for
a long time and this just makes sense.

613
00:46:00.639 --> 00:46:04.000
And I'll tell you there's no other
viable solution to fix up the city's

614
00:46:04.039 --> 00:46:07.679
infrastructure. There's no other viable revenue
stream. And you know what that means

615
00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:12.000
we're talking about here. And I
would much rather have this railroad turned into

616
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:16.800
a permanent investment for the city's infrastructure
future, protected from politicians pet projects,

617
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:21.400
and allow it to be able to
focus on the growth of the city rather

618
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:22.880
than all of the other ways that
we might be able to raise money.

619
00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:28.079
Hint, taxes, taxes, taxes. We have to focus on growing the

620
00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:30.519
city, and we have this opportunity
to do it. It's to us to

621
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:35.119
the business community, this is very
clearly a no brainer. All right,

622
00:46:35.159 --> 00:46:37.320
Brendan, call thank you on one
day once again. I look forward to

623
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:42.119
you being the chief of staff of
Mayor Charlie Lucan, who will ruled for

624
00:46:42.159 --> 00:46:45.559
a thousand years at eight to one
Plumb Street. The last time I go

625
00:46:45.880 --> 00:46:50.719
back together get the bands. It's
like the Beatles, hell the Beatles.

626
00:46:50.719 --> 00:46:54.480
Here we are six years favorite together. For we were together earlier this week

627
00:46:54.519 --> 00:47:00.840
for a press conference. You know
about us being supportive of issue twenty two,

628
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:04.519
and we said, look at us
twenty years later. I'm at the

629
00:47:04.599 --> 00:47:07.679
chamber. He's working on this.
We've worked together on a lot of things.

630
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:10.320
He Charlie has been a great leader
for this community. And I will

631
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:14.679
tell you his commitment on the railroad, Mark Mallory's commitment on the railroad,

632
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:17.920
Paul muting, Amy Murray, Paul
Sylvester has been in the future for the

633
00:47:17.920 --> 00:47:21.800
future of the city. And I
think that they deserve a lot of credit.

634
00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:23.559
We should listen to them and support
this. All right, God bless

635
00:47:23.599 --> 00:47:28.159
America. Brendan, call thank you
very much. In one day you will

636
00:47:28.280 --> 00:47:32.840
rise again. Much like the Beatles
releasing new music, I think today they're

637
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:37.039
dropping their new music. Weird the
Beatles are back sixty years later. I'm

638
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:40.199
not for it. Yeah, it's
weird, all right, Brendan call,

639
00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:44.239
thank you very much, give my
best a chance, and may he rule

640
00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:46.960

very much. Take care. Let's continue.

00:51:25.440 --> 00:51:34.280
make me say another way? But
hello, hello, buiet, I'm

careful with this. But what trust?

683
00:51:50.239 --> 00:51:52.480
What you're going to trust? And
Themac and Nemack, you're here to break

684
00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:58.920
it down. Welcome again to the
Stude Report, this in the UC game

685
00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:02.519
and the MAC. How are we
looking? Well, we're looking new,

686
00:52:02.639 --> 00:52:08.239
We're looking different, We're looking more
international. We're looking a really strong freshman

687
00:52:08.360 --> 00:52:14.119
class. Can you name one?
Say, can you name one Xavier player

688
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:19.400
Zach Fremantle, he's not playing,
but he's on the team. Can you

689
00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:24.199
name one that's going to play?
Sounds like Biden trying to answer a question.

690
00:52:24.360 --> 00:52:30.159
Does uh Bryant? Does Claude?
That was a wide receiver? So

691
00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:34.440
Mac, what happened? Does that
say? Everybody's doing? Everybody's got new

692
00:52:34.519 --> 00:52:37.639
players? You lost your top six
to eight players? What is the starting

693
00:52:37.679 --> 00:52:43.280
lineup now? If you know well, I know that Sean Miller took three

694
00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:46.679
players with him to a big East
media day at Madison Square Garden about ten

695
00:52:46.760 --> 00:52:50.599
days ago. Who'd he take?
And it was does Claude, who's going

696
00:52:50.639 --> 00:52:53.280
to be a sophomore in two years
will be in the NBA? Did he

697
00:52:53.360 --> 00:53:00.280
play last year and strong and mean
mean in that. What's his name,

698
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:02.559
Claude as Claude, he was like
this, yeah, Des Claude, he

699
00:53:02.679 --> 00:53:06.800
was the sixth man last year,
played really well in February that like a

700
00:53:06.800 --> 00:53:08.960
foot condition. Thanks for paying attention
to your alma mater. The guy only

701
00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:13.519
pay attention to the starters. The
guy can play. Sue Le Boom sou

702
00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:15.840
Let Boom is no longer with us. He's gone on to play in Europe.

703
00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:21.119
So what about David West? David
West is Ronner's really a very profitable

704
00:53:21.159 --> 00:53:23.599
AAU program in North Carolina. He's
rich too, He's got a lot of

705
00:53:23.639 --> 00:53:28.000
money. I think he saved his
money from his cheap NBA corea. So

706
00:53:28.039 --> 00:53:30.880
now you mentioned one name, this
Des Claude guy. Well, this guy

707
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:34.679
from Western Kentucky, Davion mcnheight,
who's a left handed guard. I've watched

708
00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:37.079
him practice, I watched him play
in a couple of gris So Hugo Green

709
00:53:37.360 --> 00:53:40.960
really good, not that good,
but sy Hugo was a great star with

710
00:53:42.000 --> 00:53:45.760
the Duke Cane Dukes back in when
Duke Kane was a basketball power in the

711
00:53:45.880 --> 00:53:51.840
nineteen Not so much anymore, not
so much ever since they I don't know.

712
00:53:51.880 --> 00:53:55.119
They've just they've fallen over earth.
And this guy Quincy Oliveri who is

713
00:53:55.320 --> 00:54:01.199
Quincy alab time leading three point shooter
in the history of rice. How much

714
00:54:01.199 --> 00:54:05.079
are you getting paid? I have
no idea, Please continue, no idea,

715
00:54:05.119 --> 00:54:09.159
but nil money is flowing with ni
L the transfer portal and all this

716
00:54:09.199 --> 00:54:13.920
other stuff. I think Sean Miller
is assembly. They're going to be deeper,

717
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:16.719
they're going to be faster, and
we'll see if they're as effective.

718
00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:20.360
Can they shoot free throws? Heck
yes, I think they're going to be

719
00:54:20.400 --> 00:54:22.079
a good free throw shoot. So
I got the all time rise three point

720
00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:25.559
shooter. Yeah, that must have
cost of fortune. He made ninety six

721
00:54:25.639 --> 00:54:30.719
threes last year and only about ten
guys in the whole division one made that

722
00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:32.679
much. I like that three better
than what's his name used to be there,

723
00:54:34.360 --> 00:54:38.039
su Le Boom, who was a
three point assassin. They just that

724
00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:40.960
just they left about a year or
so ago. Brad Redford, Yeah,

725
00:54:40.960 --> 00:54:45.079
no, that was longer than that
long ago, You fool. Don't you

726
00:54:45.119 --> 00:54:47.639
wish you were playing still at nil? How did would you make one hundred

727
00:54:47.719 --> 00:54:52.920
thousand dollars? Who else is on
the team? Well, they have the

728
00:54:52.039 --> 00:54:55.320
two freshmen that I think are going
to fit into the rotation. Are this

729
00:54:55.599 --> 00:55:04.360
point guard from prepp Prolific Preps that
sounds like a preparation age kind of.

730
00:55:04.760 --> 00:55:08.440
That's a prep school in Napa where
Paul Scruggs he played there. Paulus Scattering

731
00:55:08.639 --> 00:55:12.920
is really good, So you think
he's gonna start right off the pack because

732
00:55:13.199 --> 00:55:15.880
in a freshman point guard, you
know, you don't want to break the

733
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:21.039
kids when he's not in the third
game of the season to bring him off

734
00:55:21.079 --> 00:55:24.800
the bench. And the other guy
from Columbus six seven reminds me, and

735
00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:29.679
I hate to make analogy, please
don't he reminds me of James Posey six

736
00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:38.039
seven long athletics. Very give me
the all time Xavier five from well,

737
00:55:38.119 --> 00:55:42.920
all time Xavier starting five. Well, I West would have to be.

738
00:55:42.960 --> 00:55:45.880
He's a forward, though, isn't
he. I mean they really Tyrone Hill.

739
00:55:46.320 --> 00:55:50.320
You gotta with Rozone. You gotta
put Tyrone the King of the Hill.

740
00:55:50.559 --> 00:55:54.079
You gotta put David West. And
I think how about Roman Sato pretty

741
00:55:54.079 --> 00:55:59.280
good talking about a three point shooter. That's him. Unbelieving you got Byron

742
00:55:59.360 --> 00:56:02.960
Larkin and not I'm going lph.
I gotta go with with Joe Sunder Joe

743
00:56:04.039 --> 00:56:07.280
Sunderman Baker, the man him out
there on the high post you just passed,

744
00:56:07.920 --> 00:56:10.360
had that brace on his knee too, remember the good old days.

745
00:56:10.360 --> 00:56:14.559
The brace. He had a horrible
knee entry, which show using a lot

746
00:56:14.559 --> 00:56:16.639
of grit and determination he overcame.
Well, he could have been in the

747
00:56:16.719 --> 00:56:20.760
NBA, could have been somebody.
Wow. He was invited to try out

748
00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:23.880
with the Boston Celtics, but he
said he went on and Dave Collins,

749
00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:29.760
Dave Cowens, and then about wrapping
Ralph Lee. Ralph would be right up

750
00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:35.719
there among the pantheon of Xavier point
guards, and also Jamal Jamal give and

751
00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:38.760
then Byron gotta have all Time leading. He'd be there. He'd be there.

752
00:56:38.800 --> 00:56:43.320
And don't forget JP mcura and Trayvon
Blewet. We're about up to about

753
00:56:43.360 --> 00:56:46.239
forty guys. There you go a
segment. How about you see all Time

754
00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:51.320
starting five? Now you I have
no knowledge of that events you did their

755
00:56:51.360 --> 00:56:53.199
games for a while. That was
way back in the dark ages. Was

756
00:56:53.239 --> 00:56:59.880
my fortieth year was xavior, Either
illegally or legally, you admit to that.

757
00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:02.199
I must admit. Say give me
some sports and make it fast as

758
00:57:02.280 --> 00:57:06.599
we break down and save your basketball
one more season. Will he the stood

759
00:57:06.679 --> 00:57:12.199

Tamestar heating and air conditioning dealers, Tamestar

and time stuck in the traffic, and

763
00:57:27.920 --> 00:57:30.559
she even fed some of the people
stranded on the on ice. She got

764
00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:35.199
out. Told on seventy five Mitchell
Avenue, she got and fed people,

765
00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:38.159
correct, And how about that the
road is now open, the expressways wighting

766
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:43.159
and a lot of people are fed
well because of Ron's Roost restaurant and barn.

767
00:57:43.239 --> 00:57:45.079
She laid it out on the hood
of her car right and people showed

768
00:57:45.159 --> 00:57:49.440
up and there was some left,
but enough for you to eat. Thirty

769
00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:52.519
eight to fifty three Race Road five
one three, five seven four two two

770
00:57:52.719 --> 00:57:59.280
two. Uh. Let's see uh
college. Speaking of college basketball, the

771
00:57:59.320 --> 00:58:02.639
bear Cats are open up, but
you against you. IIC on Monday Wes

772

Miller Show tonight at eight oh five
live for the original Montgomery In you I

773
00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:10.719
see is that University Illinois Chicago,
right, going back, going back?

774
00:58:10.880 --> 00:58:14.800
Why are you leading with that?
It's what are you doing? Hey?

775
00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:19.760
Still yelling? Second? Thank you? Shut up? Preview the Sunday night

776
00:58:19.800 --> 00:58:22.480
battle between the Bengals and Bills on
the Roundtable show Lance and to Rock.

777
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:28.280
Where's the Rock? He's here coming
five from Long Netta here today. Yes,

778
00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:31.719
I want to see him. Red's
Update. Red utility man Spencer Steer

779
00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:37.400
is a Silver Slugger Award finalist.
Batted two seventy one, led the Reds

780
00:58:37.400 --> 00:58:43.320
and most offensive categories including homers with
twenty three. The winners are going to

781
00:58:43.360 --> 00:58:46.760
be announced next Thursday, November the
ninth. The last Read to win a

782
00:58:46.840 --> 00:58:54.679
Silver Slugger was Brandon Phillips or Joey
Vado outfielder Nick Castianos in twenty twenty one.

783
00:58:54.880 --> 00:58:58.440
Didn't play well at the end there
with the Phillies. Now we also

784
00:58:58.480 --> 00:59:02.199
Willy got to give out the boys. Ohio Boys Soccer Regional semi finals last

785
00:59:02.280 --> 00:59:08.760
night. Moler beat Centerville one nil. So Moler's one goal the entire year,

786
00:59:08.960 --> 00:59:13.400
Moler is twenty two to zero.
Get him in the twenty first shutout

787
00:59:13.400 --> 00:59:16.000
of the season. Him. There's
a new state record. As you said,

788
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:20.599
one goal all season, the first
match of the year, I think

789
00:59:20.639 --> 00:59:22.400
deer Park. I think Deer Parks, and the rest of it is clean

790
00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:25.880
sheets. Are they going to come
in for the National They if they win

791
00:59:25.960 --> 00:59:29.719
at all, they're in. Are
they coming in here? I hope get

792
00:59:29.760 --> 00:59:32.480
him in here and then let's see. Oh and also, now that the

793
00:59:32.519 --> 00:59:38.360
baseball season is over, a decision
has to be made coming up pretty soon

794
00:59:38.440 --> 00:59:42.880
on Joey Vado Bingo, Mac,
what would you do with Joey Vardo?

795
00:59:44.280 --> 00:59:47.039
I would cut him loose, let
him cash his seven million dollar check and

796
00:59:47.039 --> 00:59:52.920
then resign him for two or three, take the other ten million and thrown

797
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:57.280
at some starting pitching, please,
some experience, starting arting pitching. The

798
00:59:57.360 --> 01:00:00.800
Reds were two games behind the Snakes. But Vado, he's got seven in

799
01:00:00.840 --> 01:00:04.599
the bank, don't pick up the
twenty mil. Say we're gonna give me

800
01:00:04.639 --> 01:00:07.719
the seven and add three to it. We'll give you ten million dollars.

801
01:00:07.719 --> 01:00:12.159
And he's your DH against the right
hand pitching, And and Carnassi on strand

802
01:00:12.199 --> 01:00:15.320
has got to be the first base. He's got he's gotta play, he's

803
01:00:15.360 --> 01:00:17.719
got to play, and man,
he's got to be the third base.

804
01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:22.079
I move, I moved what about
Della Cruz center field, center field,

805
01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:27.199
great arm has trouble reaching for those
balls. He's too tall, He's too

806
01:00:27.239 --> 01:00:31.320
tall, too tall, and congratulations
will he to the Texas Rangers. They

807
01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:37.119
are the world champions. After beating
the Diamondbacks last night five nothing. They

808
01:00:37.159 --> 01:00:39.960
go eleven to zero on the road
in the postseason, including sweeping the d

809
01:00:40.159 --> 01:00:45.400
Backs and Phoenix to finish it off, sports kicks and fires. He's struck

810
01:00:45.480 --> 01:00:51.320
it out, looking it's over.
It's over. The Rangers have won the

811
01:00:51.320 --> 01:00:55.800
World Series. Ranger fans, you're
not dreaming. The Rangers are the world

812
01:00:55.960 --> 01:01:01.519
serious champions. After fifty two years
in Texas, sixty three years of the

813
01:01:01.559 --> 01:01:08.199
franchise. The weight is over and
the celebration has begun. You know,

814
01:01:08.320 --> 01:01:14.920
Mac, You say records that will
never be broken. How about eleven consecutive

815
01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:20.280
wins on the road by the Texas
Rangers. That is it will never be

816
01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:22.679
broken. It can't be broken because
you have the series. You have the

817
01:01:22.719 --> 01:01:27.239
three game series and the five game
series, then the two back to back

818
01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:30.840
seven game series. Is they played
all the games on the road that could

819
01:01:30.880 --> 01:01:34.599
have played, and they were eleven
and zero. They had no more games

820
01:01:34.599 --> 01:01:37.480
on the road to play. They
won them all impossible. You know,

821
01:01:37.599 --> 01:01:43.760
the most amazing thing about the the
Texas Rangers was that Oraldus Chapman actually got

822
01:01:43.760 --> 01:01:45.920
somebody out last night. He is
really the fish around the middle, I'll

823
01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:49.920
tell you, but he's a lucky
charm. He pitched well for the Cubs

824
01:01:50.159 --> 01:01:53.159
in that one World Series where they
came from way behind, and he pitched

825
01:01:53.199 --> 01:01:58.880
halfway decent for the Texas Rangers.
Got out of Kansas City. He's got

826
01:01:59.119 --> 01:02:04.599
a great mansion. What Kansas City
to Texas? Thank you? The Yankees

827
01:02:04.639 --> 01:02:07.599
kept resigning that guy. Why,
I don't know, I don't know.

828
01:02:07.639 --> 01:02:10.840
Stupid, stupid. Bruce Bochy now
is a six manager Willie all time with

829
01:02:10.920 --> 01:02:16.719
four or more World Series. So
now with Texas winning, Colorado, Milwaukee,

830
01:02:17.119 --> 01:02:22.039
San Diego, Seattle, and Tampa
Bay have not yet got the big

831
01:02:22.079 --> 01:02:27.800
trophies, five of the thirty correct
and they're going to expand supposedly take two

832
01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:35.920
more teams, possibly Charlotte, possibly
Nashville. What about Portland? Pretty bad?

833
01:02:35.920 --> 01:02:39.639
They got riots and homelessness there.
It's terrible. Portland stinks because of

834
01:02:39.719 --> 01:02:44.320
politics, it really stinks. And
then the Oakland's going to go to Vegas.

835
01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:45.599
Right, it looks like it.
They're going to vote in about three

836
01:02:45.639 --> 01:02:51.920
weeks. But Vegas, how are
the Raiders doing? They just cleaned house

837
01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:55.039
yesterday. But the Golden Knights that
they won the Stanley Cup. It's right,

838
01:02:55.199 --> 01:02:59.480
you know, you know who does
the Raiders games on radio? Bent

839
01:02:59.679 --> 01:03:04.320
must really how about that? Does
the radio? And he sort of staked

840
01:03:04.320 --> 01:03:07.719
out in Vegas. He does the
some kind of betting like twenty four hour

841
01:03:07.840 --> 01:03:10.639
Do I think he had some major
like gambling debts that he's still repaying the

842
01:03:10.639 --> 01:03:15.440
big boys down there and taken't care
of some Italian for a lifetime deal and

843
01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:21.320
doing that. Radio Sam Musburger terrible
and Mac, what are your thoughts on

844
01:03:21.519 --> 01:03:25.360
the General Robert Montgomery Knight? I
listened last night to Lance McAllister. He

845
01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:29.719
played some of the interviews the trump
Ster ahead with the General, et cetera,

846
01:03:30.079 --> 01:03:31.440
and there was a lot of good
about him and a lot of bad.

847
01:03:31.840 --> 01:03:37.760
I remember the nineteen ninety three second
round NCAA game at the Hoosier Home

848
01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:45.559
behavior against number one rated Indian.
I'm interviewing Pete Gillen, what about the

849
01:03:45.599 --> 01:03:49.800
neutral court aspect of this game?
Neutral? He goes, Yeah, real

850
01:03:49.920 --> 01:03:52.760
neutral US against thirty eight thousand red
sweaters. Yeah, and he laughed.

851
01:03:52.840 --> 01:03:58.000
Neutral could have beat them, should
have beat them. The officiating the second

852
01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:01.920
half was terrible, brutal. Savior's
got the lead the first seven fouls against

853
01:04:02.000 --> 01:04:06.119
Xavior, of course, and Gillan
comes up to the edge of the coaching

854
01:04:06.199 --> 01:04:12.000
box, didn't say anything. The
official came over like this, the team

855
01:04:12.079 --> 01:04:15.239
was coming together. Night was dancing
into the Xavier huddle. He was threatening

856
01:04:15.280 --> 01:04:19.199
the Xavier players. He was dancing. He was threatening them with physical violence.

857
01:04:19.239 --> 01:04:27.440
And as an exam a coach are
uh Kentucky purpose that put two schools

858
01:04:27.480 --> 01:04:33.360
on probation. University of massachusettsis state
and he's still coaching. You know,

859
01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:41.360
I really don't understand that. Well. All I know is that the general

860
01:04:41.400 --> 01:04:45.440
had a big upside and a large
downside. And uh, I remember trying

861
01:04:45.480 --> 01:04:48.440
to find the cherry through where is
this. Somebody's got the chair. We

862
01:04:48.480 --> 01:04:59.639
don't know where it is. He's
throwing the chair right now, a chair.

863
01:05:01.440 --> 01:05:13.320
Somebody got a chairing. It's all
bad. Team picked up another team.

864
01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:15.920
Then he goes after the official for
giving him a team. When he's

865
01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:19.880
thrown chairs, he's gone. He's
gone. What an act? All right?

866
01:05:19.960 --> 01:05:24.000
Max? So you see nothing but
bright days ahead for Xavier basketball.

867
01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:28.920
Well, I think the Big East
is certainly underrated. Three national championships in

868
01:05:28.960 --> 01:05:31.880
the last eight years not banned you
Con won it last year, Xavier beat

869
01:05:31.920 --> 01:05:36.559
them twice. Really, Xavier's the
national champion because they beat the national champion

870
01:05:36.599 --> 01:05:41.960
twice. Well, Marquette did also
that all you don't bother me with facts.

871
01:05:42.119 --> 01:05:45.119
Con lost seven games last year.
All of them were in the Big

872
01:05:45.159 --> 01:05:49.280
East. So the biggest undefeated against
unscored on. Yes, terrible. And

873
01:05:49.400 --> 01:05:54.079
I think I think six or seven
Big East teams are going to make the

874
01:05:54.159 --> 01:05:57.440
nc including Xavier. I'm sure.
I think x will be right in there.

875
01:05:57.480 --> 01:06:01.639
I think Miller will will preach is
pack line defense and organize the Muskies

876
01:06:01.960 --> 01:06:05.000
wait till they get past the first
of the year. Actually, yeah,

877
01:06:05.119 --> 01:06:11.559
turning, Yeah, it'll be December
ninth at the Centa bear Cats. We

878
01:06:11.639 --> 01:06:14.639
got to have you preview that action
too, Mac, we'll be will they

879
01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:17.719
let you in, Mac, Well, it'll be at Sentas Okay, Yeah,

880
01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:20.320
you're all right. I think I
still get in. Yeah, no

881
01:06:20.360 --> 01:06:24.239
one sits anywhere, do they don't. Don't you make you just walk around

882
01:06:24.840 --> 01:06:28.039
Like I went to a couple of
games and Christopher said look me up.

883
01:06:28.079 --> 01:06:30.239
I try to look them up.
All I did was walk around the whole

884
01:06:30.239 --> 01:06:33.400
time. I'm like a nomad these
games because for the President, Colleen has

885
01:06:33.440 --> 01:06:36.320
me sit with her, and I
say, I'll go sit with Colleen's doing

886
01:06:36.320 --> 01:06:40.320
a pretty good You've got your pregame
thing that you do right and everything else.

887
01:06:40.400 --> 01:06:45.000
Yeah, we'll be up at Duff's
about thirty minutes before tip off before

888
01:06:45.039 --> 01:06:48.880
every game, and they'll be big
little scouting report. Well, come back

889
01:06:48.920 --> 01:06:53.119
on December the ninth. Is that
during the week, isn't It's a Saturday

890
01:06:53.360 --> 01:06:56.079
Saturday and on Friday, December of
the eighth, you ought to come in

891
01:06:56.119 --> 01:07:00.639
here and break down the game.
How about the MLS Cup When Cincinnati plays

892
01:07:00.639 --> 01:07:08.039
the Seattle Sounders for the MLS UP
postseason championship is the same day? Really

893
01:07:08.239 --> 01:07:11.760
you believe that? Really? Wait
a minute, that's at four o'clock.

894
01:07:12.039 --> 01:07:15.800

eights. It's thirty. Gonna be quick

896
01:07:18.800 --> 01:07:23.519

on Steve speed dial? What am I

897
01:07:23.559 --> 01:07:26.239
supposed to do? Well? You
can go to both. You got four

898
01:07:26.239 --> 01:07:29.559
o'clock games over at five thirty quarters. They've got a reserve spot over there

899
01:07:29.559 --> 01:07:31.639

Saving needs to upgrade their schedule by getting

903
01:07:43.800 --> 01:07:46.599
rid of UC. You need to. I was huggins argument back twenty years

904

now, he was gonna dump Xavior
because it wasn't com Now it's flipped.

914

Matt so pouring over your notes on
news radio seven hundred wl over you

915
01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:44.680
open up our live stream on the
iHeartRadio app and take a look at the

916
01:08:44.680 --> 01:08:47.279
screen. You see that little red
circle with the microphone on it. That's

917
01:08:47.319 --> 01:08:51.479
our talkback feature. Push it and
send us your thoughts on the current topic,

918
01:08:51.800 --> 01:08:57.000
something you think we should discuss,
or even which one of our personalities

919
01:08:57.000 --> 01:09:01.680
would be your perfect dream days.
I'm thinking Jack Crumley the talkback feature.

920
01:09:02.000 --> 01:09:09.479
Check it out on seven hundred wlw's
live stream on the iHeartRadio app. We'll

921
01:09:09.520 --> 01:09:21.159
see today's news requires more facts,
more context, and more analysis. The

922
01:09:21.199 --> 01:09:30.399
world's never been of all ball the
whole on. Here we go once again

923
01:09:30.439 --> 01:09:34.159
with early voting tomorrow at noon.
I have on Frank L. Rosa three

924
01:09:34.239 --> 01:09:39.720
four seven one one one about early
voting. It looks as if something like

925
01:09:39.800 --> 01:09:45.079
seven hundred thousand Ohio WANs will early
vote. Yours truly and the People's Judge

926
01:09:45.119 --> 01:09:47.479
were among those on Tuesday night.
It was. It was easy to do.

927
01:09:47.520 --> 01:09:50.800
It got there about five thirty quarter
of six, took about five or

928
01:09:50.800 --> 01:09:55.399
ten minutes total time. I spent
time with some of the poll workers and

929
01:09:55.880 --> 01:10:00.880
had some uh had a lot of
good conversations and away we go. But

930
01:10:02.239 --> 01:10:06.279
so far, I want to give
the results thus far of early voting of

931
01:10:06.319 --> 01:10:12.039
my listeners, which are generally absolutely
correct, as you know. And at

932
01:10:12.039 --> 01:10:15.520
this point we've done it for two
afternoons at two o'clock. You also may

933
01:10:15.560 --> 01:10:19.960
now participate. You may give me
your vote on one, two or twenty

934
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:24.720
two, and then I record it. All I need from you is your

935
01:10:24.760 --> 01:10:30.319
first name and where you're calling from, and then thirdly your vote, and

936
01:10:30.359 --> 01:10:35.319
you may give us a twenty to
thirty second reason as to why you're voting

937
01:10:35.399 --> 01:10:40.520
yes or no on State Issue one, Yes or no on State Issue two,

938
01:10:41.279 --> 01:10:45.840
Yes or no on issue twenty two. I just made a wager with

939
01:10:45.920 --> 01:10:50.479
the legendary Pete Whitty on issue twenty
two. Here's the bet. I bet

940
01:10:50.560 --> 01:10:56.119
lunch at Price Hill, Chili.
I say yes on twenty two, he

941
01:10:56.239 --> 01:11:00.159
says hell no on twenty two.
He says, you can even get the

942
01:11:00.239 --> 01:11:03.319
Rabbi at Price Sal Chile if you
win. So we'll see what happens.

943
01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:10.039
Yes or no. Thus far state
Issue one, we have a total of

944
01:11:10.199 --> 01:11:15.479
three yeses and eleven nos. It
looks as if State Issue one should go

945
01:11:15.560 --> 01:11:18.920
down to an easy defeat. Based
upon the callers to my show. Now

946
01:11:19.119 --> 01:11:24.199
at seven four nine seven thousand or
pound seven hundred, this is your chance

947
01:11:24.279 --> 01:11:28.439
to vote. We have open lines
as I speak. State Issue two is

948
01:11:28.479 --> 01:11:33.880
the marijuana the hippie lettuce, and
thus far I have two no's and nine

949
01:11:34.199 --> 01:11:38.720
yeses. That's a pretty good number. So it looks like State Issue two

950
01:11:38.800 --> 01:11:42.880
is gonna pass. Issue one look
looks like it's going down on an issue

951
01:11:43.239 --> 01:11:49.439
twenty two the city. We have
thus far eighteen yeses and nine knows,

952
01:11:51.079 --> 01:11:58.920
so it's rather interesting. Pound seven
hundred. You may vote. Now.

953
01:11:59.279 --> 01:12:01.079
You must come on the air with
me, which is an honor for anyone,

954
01:12:02.039 --> 01:12:05.039
and give me your vote, pick
the issue you want, or vote

955
01:12:05.039 --> 01:12:09.000
on all three if you'd like,
and then I'm going to record this,

956
01:12:09.760 --> 01:12:13.359
likely do it on Tuesday, who
knows, maybe even Monday. So we

957
01:12:13.439 --> 01:12:16.800
have a sense. So the first
call will beat Dennis and then Bill seven

958
01:12:16.920 --> 01:12:23.039
four nine seven thousand, five one
three seven four nine seven thousand now or

959
01:12:23.119 --> 01:12:27.119
pounds seven hundred to you may give
me your vote, and then you have

960
01:12:27.199 --> 01:12:30.119
about twenty to thirty seconds to explain
it. The flash poll is underway.

961
01:12:30.279 --> 01:12:33.439
Lastly, I don't want to twist
things too much. One way or another.

962
01:12:34.960 --> 01:12:41.840
But when you can't put the language
into the constitutional amendment because by itself

963
01:12:41.840 --> 01:12:45.119
it would fail, and then you
put in extraneous matters, that's a problem.

964
01:12:45.680 --> 01:12:51.880
So by including a state issue one
extraneous matters, which are completely non

965
01:12:51.920 --> 01:12:59.319
controversial medical procedures like miscarriage or both
control pills in the text of the amendment,

966
01:13:00.439 --> 01:13:05.439
those who advocate for this are cynically
seeking to create the impression that procedures

967
01:13:05.479 --> 01:13:12.159
like buying a condom or birth control
pill is at legal risk if voters decline

968
01:13:12.239 --> 01:13:17.199
to enshrine abortion in the constitution.
So let's go to the calls. This

969
01:13:17.359 --> 01:13:23.960
is legendary. My callers have always
predicted the actual outcome. We have full

970
01:13:24.000 --> 01:13:28.079
lines, of course, and the
lines become open quickly because each caller is

971
01:13:28.119 --> 01:13:31.279
only given about twenty seconds. So
stead Issue one at this point is going

972
01:13:31.359 --> 01:13:35.880
down hard, State Issue two at
this point is passing, and State Issue

973
01:13:35.880 --> 01:13:40.840
three at this point is also passing. So give me your first name where

974
01:13:40.840 --> 01:13:44.840
you're calling from, and then your
vote. Let's go to Tom and Cincinnati.

975
01:13:45.279 --> 01:13:46.880
Tom and Cincinnati, what issue do
you want to vote on? If

976
01:13:46.920 --> 01:13:53.840
any or all three, I'm here
to vote on the trifecta. No no

977
01:13:54.199 --> 01:14:01.039
and no no on one, no
on two, no on three? Why

978
01:14:01.199 --> 01:14:05.640
no? Let me pick one?
Why no on two? The marijuana,

979
01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:11.359
because I don't think we should be
subjecting anybody to another vice. We got

980
01:14:11.479 --> 01:14:15.880
enough of them already. And it's
a it's a gateway drug to other drugs.

981
01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:20.279
It's been proven to be true.
We ought to not be letting exposing

982
01:14:20.399 --> 01:14:24.119
kids to this, to this drug. It's bad enough. We got them

983
01:14:24.159 --> 01:14:27.199
exposed to other things, all right. Now. One thing to consider,

984
01:14:27.279 --> 01:14:31.760
I'm watching one of the national shows
that said that when marijuana recreationally is legalized,

985
01:14:32.279 --> 01:14:38.800
that the use of percocet, delauded
and other heroin based legal and illegal

986
01:14:38.880 --> 01:14:43.640
drugs go down. Does that change
your opinion at all? No? In

987
01:14:43.720 --> 01:14:49.000
fact, you got to call the
governor of Colorado, who originally supported recreational

988
01:14:49.039 --> 01:14:55.079
marijuana, and all you gotta do
is ask him, because now he's adamantly

989
01:14:55.079 --> 01:14:59.920
opposed to it. He's saying he
can't even keep people employed because they get

990
01:15:00.079 --> 01:15:03.479
drug tested and they got to send
them home because they don't have enough people

991
01:15:03.479 --> 01:15:06.520
to work out there. They don't
have poble to work anyway, right now,

992
01:15:08.479 --> 01:15:11.520
that's right. This only compounds the
problem. I'm gonna give you a

993
01:15:11.600 --> 01:15:14.560
no, a no, and a
no. Thank you for your call.

994
01:15:14.640 --> 01:15:17.960
Let's continue now with Dennis and Cincinnati. Then Ed. Dennis, go ahead,

995
01:15:18.000 --> 01:15:20.760
give me a full report on which
of the ballot initiatives you went to

996
01:15:20.800 --> 01:15:26.680
early vote. I want no on
all three. I write this down.

997
01:15:26.760 --> 01:15:30.279
No, no. Now let's take
issue twenty two. Why are you saying

998
01:15:30.359 --> 01:15:36.880
no on selling the railroad for one
point six billion dollar? Because all in

999
01:15:38.000 --> 01:15:43.600
my past experience, most politicians are
all crooked, correct, and when they

1000
01:15:43.600 --> 01:15:47.399
get money, they just go hog
wild, they get more crooked. That's

1001
01:15:47.479 --> 01:15:51.640
right, all right, we take
you straight as a hind leg of an

1002
01:15:51.680 --> 01:15:55.920
animal. Let's continue now. We'll
go to Ed and Martinsville, and then

1003
01:15:56.199 --> 01:16:00.600
Bill and Mike and John, Jennifer
and Sweet Lips and many others in Helen.

1004
01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:03.079
But we'll go to Ed in Martinsville
and Ed. Where is Martinsville by

1005
01:16:03.079 --> 01:16:10.920
the way, just about tim Mills
south of Wilmington. That's God's culture.

1006
01:16:12.479 --> 01:16:16.439
That's where Bob that's God's country.
That's where Bobby Henderson has his golf course.

1007
01:16:17.159 --> 01:16:21.000
But anyway, give me your votes
on one two and you can only

1008
01:16:21.079 --> 01:16:25.000
vote on twenty two. I'm sorry. One and two and not twenty two.

1009
01:16:25.079 --> 01:16:27.479
But if you want to vote in
all three, you can certainly do

1010
01:16:27.560 --> 01:16:31.439
it. I'll just say no and
yes. So you say no on state

1011
01:16:31.520 --> 01:16:35.880
issue one, which I got a
good reason from one on that one,

1012
01:16:36.319 --> 01:16:40.319
yes, I'll give you a yes
on two, the marijuana. Let's go

1013
01:16:40.359 --> 01:16:43.680
with state issue one. Why are
you going to vote no on state issue

1014
01:16:43.720 --> 01:16:47.279
one? Which is abortion on demand
through birth? And maybe past that they

1015
01:16:47.319 --> 01:16:53.000
called it's murder? Now you know, God's God's the one that gives life,

1016
01:16:53.680 --> 01:16:56.079
you know, and he's the one
that has to be the one that

1017
01:16:56.119 --> 01:16:59.800
takes it. Well, me,
it's not our right to kill a baby?

1018
01:17:00.319 --> 01:17:02.840
And ed, is that a cyst? Is it a tumor? Is

1019
01:17:02.880 --> 01:17:06.479
it some unnatural growth? Is is
that thing a callous or? Is it

1020
01:17:06.520 --> 01:17:12.920
a living human being? And I
think a mother being? To me?

1021
01:17:13.439 --> 01:17:16.520
To me, I don't know how. You know, there's a large industry

1022
01:17:16.640 --> 01:17:21.000
a plant planned parent is a multi
billion dollar industry. And so to them,

1023
01:17:21.039 --> 01:17:25.560
they want to convince women that killing
your unborn, healthy baby is a

1024
01:17:25.560 --> 01:17:29.960
good thing. And uh, well
they're going to answer to it. One

1025
01:17:30.079 --> 01:17:33.039
day they will come in front of
God and they'll have to answer to it.

1026
01:17:33.439 --> 01:17:38.279
The murder's murder, no matter what. And lastly, on that issue,

1027
01:17:38.319 --> 01:17:43.199
I'd say this, in my life, in your life, you've never

1028
01:17:43.399 --> 01:17:48.039
voted yes or no in killing the
unborn. You've never you've voted indirectly with

1029
01:17:48.119 --> 01:17:51.039
a politician. God knows what they're
going to do. But for the first

1030
01:17:51.079 --> 01:17:56.039
time in Ohio history, a person
is going to show up at the ballot

1031
01:17:56.039 --> 01:18:00.920
box and and and fill in the
blank yes or no on killing unborn babies.

1032
01:18:01.199 --> 01:18:04.600
And you will answer for that vote
in this world or the next and

1033
01:18:04.680 --> 01:18:08.720
whatever it is it is. And
I can't tell you how many women have

1034
01:18:08.800 --> 01:18:13.319
sent me emails saying I had an
abortion three years ago. And every time

1035
01:18:13.399 --> 01:18:16.239
now that I see a three year
old, I wonder how my little baby

1036
01:18:16.239 --> 01:18:20.199
boy would have been if I if
I hadn't killed him. And I don't

1037
01:18:20.239 --> 01:18:23.680
know how. I don't know how
you look at an innocent baby and say,

1038
01:18:23.720 --> 01:18:27.239
you know what we gotta we got
to kill that baby, got to

1039
01:18:27.279 --> 01:18:30.479
do it. And all they got, all they can do too is this.

1040
01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:33.800
You know, everybody makes mistakes in
their life, you know, well,

1041
01:18:33.840 --> 01:18:38.199
so Jesus Christ is the only answer, and they have to ask him

1042
01:18:38.199 --> 01:18:43.199
for forgiveness and forgiven their sins and
repent from it. Ed. I would

1043
01:18:43.279 --> 01:18:47.199
say this that if a woman gets
uh, gets carried away and has unprotected

1044
01:18:47.239 --> 01:18:54.800
sex when she shouldn't, there's always
the the plan B two to four days

1045
01:18:54.840 --> 01:18:59.439
afterwards. So that's a different issue. But killing unborn, healthy babies is

1046
01:19:00.239 --> 01:19:02.359
is not good. I fact,
it's awful. Let's continue with more.

1047
01:19:02.359 --> 01:19:05.239
I go to Bill and Cincinnati,
then Mike and Mount Orr. We got

1048
01:19:05.319 --> 01:19:09.760
John and Milford the Home of the
Eagles, and Ken Mybers and Bruce Little

1049
01:19:09.840 --> 01:19:13.479
John, then Helen and Lovelin and
many others. Bill and Cincinnati, give

1050
01:19:13.520 --> 01:19:20.239
me your vote on issue one.
Absolutely not. I think if that thing

1051
01:19:20.279 --> 01:19:24.960
were to pass, Bill, I
think the entire world will look at Ohio

1052
01:19:25.039 --> 01:19:27.880
and say, what the hell?
And by the way, well where did

1053
01:19:28.000 --> 01:19:31.239
right to life begin? Well with
the whole organization began here in the nineteen

1054
01:19:31.319 --> 01:19:36.359
seventies with doctor Wilke and his wife
Barbara. They started it, and here

1055
01:19:36.399 --> 01:19:42.319
we are fifty years later. According
to the polls, we're going to okay

1056
01:19:43.000 --> 01:19:46.880
abortion on demand through birth. Can't
believe all what about issues and the whole

1057
01:19:46.920 --> 01:19:50.880
parental consent thing's crazy. Bill,
Here's what we gotta do. We got

1058
01:19:50.880 --> 01:19:55.840
to vote this thing down, and
then we've got to find a compromise around

1059
01:19:55.880 --> 01:20:00.880
twenty weeks. Rate incess life of
the mother, that's all cool, but

1060
01:20:01.399 --> 01:20:05.560
you know the financial health of the
mother, that's all malwarkey. So absolutely

1061
01:20:05.560 --> 01:20:09.079
no on one. All right,
We're going to accept that vote right there.

1062
01:20:09.439 --> 01:20:12.479
Now, we're going to go to
Mike and Mount Orb and then Helen

1063
01:20:12.600 --> 01:20:15.880
in Loveland, the Home of the
Tigers. Mike and Mount Orb, give

1064
01:20:15.920 --> 01:20:20.359
me your early vote. Okay.
I say no on one, No one

1065
01:20:20.479 --> 01:20:25.560
two there, and yes on three. Why don't you give you my reason

1066
01:20:25.640 --> 01:20:30.039
for no on one? Give me
the No one one? Okay. Jeremiah

1067
01:20:30.119 --> 01:20:34.199
one, verse five says I knew
you before you were formed. In my

1068
01:20:34.399 --> 01:20:41.399
view, that means that God knew
us before we were born, which means

1069
01:20:41.399 --> 01:20:45.319
that we're a person. Our spirit
is alive with God. He chose to

1070
01:20:45.399 --> 01:20:50.079
bring us into life and human form. That's his choice. It's not our

1071
01:20:50.159 --> 01:20:57.760
decision to end that life. I
think I couldn't have said it better myself.

1072
01:20:58.359 --> 01:21:01.239
We'll see what happens. Let's continue. We have Helen in Lovelin seven

1073
01:21:01.319 --> 01:21:04.000
four nine, seven thousand, and
then John and Milford the Home of the

1074
01:21:04.039 --> 01:21:08.079
Eagles. Helen, give me a
full report. Give me your early vote

1075
01:21:08.119 --> 01:21:13.039
on one and two, yes and
yes. Let me write this down.

1076
01:21:13.359 --> 01:21:15.479
In the background, I'm hearing something
there. Yes, I wish I could

1077
01:21:15.479 --> 01:21:18.520
spend more time with her or we
had too much feedback. She says yes

1078
01:21:19.159 --> 01:21:23.920
on one and yes on two.
By the way, the polling indicates that

1079
01:21:24.079 --> 01:21:28.399
Helen is likely to win according to
polling. Whatever that means. Let's go

1080
01:21:28.439 --> 01:21:30.760
to John and Milford. Got time
for two or three more than Alisha in

1081
01:21:30.800 --> 01:21:34.279
Middletown. John and Milford, the
home of the Eagles. Give me your

1082
01:21:34.359 --> 01:21:41.039
vote, Give me your early vote. John, Yes, yes, no,

1083
01:21:41.800 --> 01:21:45.079
yes, yes, So you got
yes on one, You got yes

1084
01:21:45.119 --> 01:21:48.399
on two, which is marijuana,
got no on one. We're going to

1085
01:21:48.479 --> 01:21:54.279
record those for the annals of history. Now let's go to Alisha in Middletown,

1086
01:21:54.319 --> 01:21:57.720
the home of seg Man Dennison.
Alisha in Middletown, give me your

1087
01:21:57.720 --> 01:22:02.960
early vote. No, no,
yes and no? No, yes and

1088
01:22:03.079 --> 01:22:06.239
no good no? All right.
Now, let me ask you this.

1089
01:22:06.319 --> 01:22:12.560
On number two with marijuana, you
said no. Why do you say no?

1090
01:22:12.560 --> 01:22:15.960
No? You said yes? Did
you say yes or no on marijuana?

1091
01:22:15.399 --> 01:22:17.800
I said no, Okay, that's
what I thought. Tell me why

1092
01:22:19.920 --> 01:22:25.760
I've been in the medical field for
thirty years, and it's just not a

1093
01:22:25.760 --> 01:22:31.039
good thing. I've seen where it
leads, I've seen what actions people take

1094
01:22:31.079 --> 01:22:35.199
when they're on it. And it's
a drug just like any other drug,

1095
01:22:36.520 --> 01:22:41.319
all right. The idea of the
state getting involved and making money off of

1096
01:22:41.359 --> 01:22:45.399
it, the idea of controlling the
product itself so that the ingredients are wholesome,

1097
01:22:45.439 --> 01:22:49.399
and sometimes there's ventanel and other things
put in an illegal marijuana. That

1098
01:22:49.399 --> 01:22:56.039
doesn't persuade you overall to the general
thing. No, it doesn't. All

1099
01:22:56.119 --> 01:22:59.840
right, thank you for your call. Here we go at this point and

1100
01:23:00.079 --> 01:23:04.159
this recent round of early voting on
State Issue one, we had six no's

1101
01:23:04.960 --> 01:23:10.680
and three yeses. On State Issue
two, which is the marijuana, treating

1102
01:23:10.720 --> 01:23:16.039
it like alcohol, we had five
yeses and four no's, somewhat close.

1103
01:23:16.399 --> 01:23:19.880
Then on steate Issue I'm sorry,
City Issue twenty two, which is sailing

1104
01:23:19.920 --> 01:23:27.039
the railroad for one point six billion
dollars, it was three no's, I'm

1105
01:23:27.079 --> 01:23:30.840
sorry, four no's and three yeses. You put it all together. At

1106
01:23:30.840 --> 01:23:34.600
this point, stead Issue number one
is going down hard like a cold butt

1107
01:23:34.680 --> 01:23:40.399
on a hot July afternoon. State
Issue two continues to be much closer,

1108
01:23:40.680 --> 01:23:46.920
but it's a yes vote and City
Issue number twenty two began razor thin,

1109
01:23:47.079 --> 01:23:54.520
It's stays razor thin. Right now, it's eighteen yeses and sixteen no's more

1110
01:23:54.600 --> 01:23:57.479
voting to follow. My guess tomorrow
at noon, by the way, is

1111
01:23:57.479 --> 01:24:01.039
going to be frank LeRose also known
as frank Arosa. Let's continue with more

Here's the deal. Here's what drives the

and and and Joan Shing Gang passed
away Shangha fifty times one hundred and

1138
01:26:34.239 --> 01:26:40.359
fifty nine billion dollars left. America
is a nation that can be defined in

1139
01:26:40.439 --> 01:26:51.000
a single word. I was gonna
foot him. Hello, quiet, I'm

1140
01:26:51.039 --> 01:26:59.560
broadcasting roll. Can you imagine if
a Republican had this lack of mental acuity,

1141
01:26:59.640 --> 01:27:02.560
Well, the media would do impeach, first story, front page,

1142
01:27:02.680 --> 01:27:06.039
the whole deal. Yeah, mentally
at amendment, get him out of there,

1143
01:27:06.079 --> 01:27:11.520
like Trump was like fo overweight,
he's unfit, he can he's gonna

1144
01:27:11.600 --> 01:27:15.399
die. Don't We're in trouble.
Don't, don't what but you want to

1145
01:27:15.479 --> 01:27:23.239
change the ad? Don't hear no? I eat no for breakfast. No

1146
01:27:23.239 --> 01:27:27.720
one wants to get rid of bid. This is the reason was very very

1147
01:27:27.760 --> 01:27:34.760
smart in what can be unburdened by
what has been about that. Now,

1148
01:27:34.920 --> 01:27:43.439
rocket, you're avoiding the obvious.
Moved past that. Yeah, we've moved

1149
01:27:43.439 --> 01:27:48.159
past that. I want to talk
about it. But Michigan, the coaches

1150
01:27:48.520 --> 01:27:54.079
last night had a big call.
They asked that the Hollball leave the arena

1151
01:27:54.159 --> 01:27:58.279
area and they wanted to talk to
the commissioner about what to do with a

1152
01:27:58.399 --> 01:28:02.039
cheating program like Michigan, and they
had the records out of the three years

1153
01:28:02.079 --> 01:28:05.479
before they started cheating, they were
like fifty to fifty in the Big Ten,

1154
01:28:05.640 --> 01:28:09.560
losing a penn state. After he
started to cheat, they did much

1155
01:28:09.600 --> 01:28:14.119
better, only lost like two games. The titles have won the scholarship money

1156
01:28:14.159 --> 01:28:20.079
all by cheating. Wolverines or cheater. Now, what do you do?

1157
01:28:20.239 --> 01:28:27.079
Is the commissioner of the drag show
at Notre Dame, because Michigan now is

1158
01:28:27.159 --> 01:28:31.079
running a renegade program, like much
like the use of astros with the pounding

1159
01:28:31.119 --> 01:28:36.520
of the drums. Crime, Yeah, what's his crime? The tough part

1160
01:28:36.600 --> 01:28:41.680
is there's gonna be have to be
a lengthy investigation, right so that the

1161
01:28:41.720 --> 01:28:44.359
season is gonna be done and gone. So then what are you gonna do?

1162
01:28:45.079 --> 01:28:46.479
And by the way, I think
Michigan in my opinion, has the

1163
01:28:46.560 --> 01:28:50.199
best team in college football. Vacate
regardless of signs and all that. They

1164
01:28:50.239 --> 01:28:55.119
got seven fifteen to seventeen guys that
are gonna get drafted here and va kate,

1165
01:28:55.399 --> 01:28:57.880
vacate all wins. That's what you're
gonna do. Bait, What about

1166
01:28:58.319 --> 01:29:00.279
about the kids? They didn't they
in on this, but they were in

1167
01:29:00.319 --> 01:29:02.960
the deal because they executed the game, and they were, you know,

1168
01:29:03.000 --> 01:29:05.880
sitting there advocating for it. They
just do it. The coach tells them

1169
01:29:05.920 --> 01:29:10.800
they should have beat on the on
the garbage cans like Houston did. Tell

1170
01:29:10.840 --> 01:29:15.239
the segment what happened with Michigan that
you examined the past couple of years.

1171
01:29:15.479 --> 01:29:20.760
So what when people started really getting
fishy about the whole thing is an offense

1172
01:29:20.760 --> 01:29:24.920
would come out in a formation like
say it's third and one, but and

1173
01:29:24.960 --> 01:29:29.279
they're just gonna say, hell,
they're gonna throw some reverse double pass down

1174
01:29:29.279 --> 01:29:32.800
the field, and Michigan would be
in like cover two right, like which

1175
01:29:32.880 --> 01:29:36.479
you would only be in if you
were expecting a pass, a pass or

1176
01:29:36.520 --> 01:29:39.920
a gadget play. Right. If
you it was third and one, you'd

1177
01:29:39.960 --> 01:29:44.680
play cover three. You bring an
eight man box and you the nickel plus

1178
01:29:44.720 --> 01:29:47.079
one. So that's what started putting
people's antennas up is they're like, wait,

1179
01:29:47.560 --> 01:29:51.760
in a million years, why would
you be in this call unless you

1180
01:29:51.840 --> 01:29:56.039
knew what the hell we were gonna
run. And the players knew this because

1181
01:29:56.079 --> 01:30:00.159
they were let's say it was the
third and twenty and they were gonna have

1182
01:30:00.159 --> 01:30:04.920
a draw play like Buck twenty five, twenty five bucks hot Mississippi, Alabama,

1183
01:30:05.119 --> 01:30:11.720
New Orleans, oh Now instead of
being in a pass defense third and

1184
01:30:11.800 --> 01:30:15.720
twenty five, they were playing for
a run up to middle and they did

1185
01:30:15.800 --> 01:30:18.159
run up. But she would only
be able to explain Hi State would have

1186
01:30:18.159 --> 01:30:21.119
beaten Michigan the last two years.
I don't know about that, because,

1187
01:30:21.399 --> 01:30:26.840
as I said, Michigan still come
down to players cheatingh and cheatah. They

1188
01:30:26.840 --> 01:30:30.960
have recruited well and cheating and CHEATADH
and and I mean the players as well.

1189
01:30:30.039 --> 01:30:33.039
They don't know how those how the
coaches got the signals or whatever.

1190
01:30:33.039 --> 01:30:35.319
And if it happens during the game, you know, if you're the middle

1191
01:30:35.279 --> 01:30:40.279
of every player and you think every
player on the team knows that there was

1192
01:30:40.279 --> 01:30:44.560
something elaborate, sister with some guy
named Connor whatever his name is, shouldn't

1193
01:30:44.600 --> 01:30:48.039
know. If you're the middle linebacker
for Michigan and it's third and one and

1194
01:30:48.079 --> 01:30:53.239
you get in your head set they
had cover two, you would say,

1195
01:30:53.520 --> 01:30:57.359
no, what the I don't think
a college kid would I think he'd played

1196
01:30:57.399 --> 01:31:00.720
with They're not too smart anyway,
go to Michigan. You're up very smart.

1197
01:31:00.760 --> 01:31:03.600
By the way, all this could
be solved. We have the technology.

1198
01:31:03.760 --> 01:31:08.079
It's been in the NFL since like
the nineties with the radio and the

1199
01:31:08.119 --> 01:31:12.479
helmet. Yeah, but but like
they don't have the money to do that.

1200
01:31:12.640 --> 01:31:15.840
My opinion is because it happens all
the time, right the coaches come

1201
01:31:15.840 --> 01:31:18.680
out and say every every all scene, boy, we need to get radios

1202
01:31:18.680 --> 01:31:21.960
in the helmet and this and that, okay, or the athletic directors say

1203
01:31:23.000 --> 01:31:27.359
all that, and then they leave
that public meeting and they go to a

1204
01:31:27.399 --> 01:31:31.319
team like Michigan or other very good
schools they go to, especially the good

1205
01:31:31.359 --> 01:31:34.680
teams don't say, hey, you
know what, let's forget all this nonsense,

1206
01:31:34.720 --> 01:31:39.239
let's go to radios and helmets.
Because some teams say that that's our

1207
01:31:39.279 --> 01:31:42.960
advantage is because we're but we've got
a whole system of doing this where you

1208
01:31:43.039 --> 01:31:45.359
don't. Well, that's why it
doesn't exist. But it needs to happen.

1209
01:31:45.359 --> 01:31:48.079
I think it'll happen here. Let's
me give you for next out of

1210
01:31:48.119 --> 01:31:54.119
the Detroit Free Press. Collectively,
the coaches want the Big ten to act

1211
01:31:54.199 --> 01:31:59.479
right now and act decisively on the
cheating by Michigan. And now you got

1212
01:31:59.520 --> 01:32:03.520
your friend. Urban Meyer has been
offered one hundred million dollars to coach Michigan

1213
01:32:03.600 --> 01:32:12.399
State Urban Meyer. That's some good
strip clubs and ipster Canada sayest me easy.

1214
01:32:12.439 --> 01:32:15.119
Well, I'm just saying he's your
guy, right, yes, and

1215
01:32:15.159 --> 01:32:18.520
he goes strip clubs, right?
How do you know club? No,

1216
01:32:18.640 --> 01:32:20.960
thank you, Rock. I'm just
about to say I had to do it

1217
01:32:21.000 --> 01:32:24.279
one time. I didn't like it. He didn't like it at all.

1218
01:32:24.279 --> 01:32:27.800
I didn't like it at all.
What crime? Yeah, I'm just saying,

1219
01:32:28.439 --> 01:32:30.720
you know, I had to do
it. I didn't want to because

1220
01:32:30.760 --> 01:32:36.159
the campers baseball haven't wanted some leadership. But where to go some leadership?

1221
01:32:36.279 --> 01:32:40.920
I told you were the tour you
were the tourist director. Don't drag you

1222
01:32:41.000 --> 01:32:47.399
in. I had to go.
I was kidnapped that night. I was

1223
01:32:47.479 --> 01:32:54.640
I was bound, gagged and like
soomore ways than one. But then when

1224
01:32:54.680 --> 01:32:57.359
you walked in, the guy that
rode the place, Hey, Willie,

1225
01:32:57.399 --> 01:33:08.039
how you doing out? Yeah?
Yeah? Even what explanation the Cincinnati something

1226
01:33:08.239 --> 01:33:14.039
comment on what they're doing. They're
changing something that you should talk to them

1227
01:33:14.039 --> 01:33:17.079
about. You can't. You can't
punish the players. I don't think they

1228
01:33:17.159 --> 01:33:24.880
knew of some elaborates. Again,
the alleged system where they're sending people within

1229
01:33:24.920 --> 01:33:30.880
the organization who are not identified to
future game sites and having them collect signs

1230
01:33:30.920 --> 01:33:33.840
with their cell phones, pumping it
into an AI algorithm. You think players

1231
01:33:33.920 --> 01:33:41.640
knew all that was absolutely AI did
it because you can take a hundred calls.

1232
01:33:41.920 --> 01:33:44.399
By the way, is there anything
written out about AI you can't use

1233
01:33:44.439 --> 01:33:48.920
that? I don't think so.
Technology is way way above the way ahead

1234
01:33:48.920 --> 01:33:51.680
of the rules. Are they cheaters? I don't know. I have to

1235
01:33:51.720 --> 01:33:57.000
look at the investigation. You're making
too much sense. No, you're trying

1236
01:33:57.000 --> 01:34:03.560
to do You think we should just
jump the conclusions? Fire everybody. Tom

1237
01:34:03.600 --> 01:34:11.000
Waveman is a is a stooge?
Drew believer? Yes, thank you,

1238
01:34:11.000 --> 01:34:15.760
you said do more of it.
Yes, but the U s the Bengals

1239
01:34:15.760 --> 01:34:20.720
would cheat more. Okay, they
need that guy. Yeah. The good

1240
01:34:20.960 --> 01:34:25.720
that they need that guy on the
sideline, that he was pretty smart,

1241
01:34:26.680 --> 01:34:30.039
really good, really good, get
him on the sidelines. Well, Harball

1242
01:34:30.199 --> 01:34:35.520
survive? How many I would wonder
how many other schools out there are stealing

1243
01:34:35.600 --> 01:34:40.359
signs? I bet, I mean
every way every team is trying to steal

1244
01:34:40.439 --> 01:34:44.640
signs during the game. If you're
not, you're you're flat stupid. But

1245
01:34:44.760 --> 01:34:50.079
how many teams are going to the
lengths of allegedly Michigan went to violating by

1246
01:34:50.119 --> 01:34:53.520
the way, it's it's so dumb, like like they bought the seats to

1247
01:34:53.640 --> 01:34:59.560
the future games like on like a
Michigan. That's a stupid Yeah you change

1248
01:34:59.560 --> 01:35:00.800
your name. You don't because they
could just go, oh, okay,

1249
01:35:01.079 --> 01:35:04.000
this person look it up in the
in the seats that they were given and

1250
01:35:04.079 --> 01:35:08.920
will call a year or two ago
and had a city in surveillance coup.

1251
01:35:09.439 --> 01:35:12.720
Yep is. They're stupid. They're
cheaters, and they're stupid. It's what

1252
01:35:12.760 --> 01:35:15.159
you're alleged, alleged that won't They
are alleged. At least they don't have

1253
01:35:15.199 --> 01:35:18.479
shrag queens shows and credit in Michigan, only a Notre Dame. We go

1254
01:35:18.520 --> 01:35:23.640
again. I knew it was help
me out here. I just start reading

1255
01:35:23.640 --> 01:35:27.319
the damned sports so we can run
the clue taking the class. Would you

1256
01:35:27.359 --> 01:35:30.760
have taken the one hour credit?
Would you have been a guest lecturer?

1257
01:35:31.760 --> 01:35:38.199
Hell no? Were you there at
all for any of this? I mean

1258
01:35:38.520 --> 01:35:44.079
none of this was a blonde,
redhead or brunette ginger, you would have

1259
01:35:44.119 --> 01:35:46.800
flipped and off. Amazing how things
change in twenty years. It's amazing.

1260
01:35:47.119 --> 01:35:50.560
God. And there's a Hamas chapter
at Notre Dame. Think about what could

1261
01:35:50.560 --> 01:35:57.199
happen in Ohio. Uh, come
election day. I think if you told

1262
01:35:57.239 --> 01:36:00.960
me ten years ago that pot would
be illegal would be legal in Ohio,

1263
01:36:00.039 --> 01:36:03.279
I'd say you're crazy, absolutely not. But I bet you passes. I

1264
01:36:03.319 --> 01:36:06.319
said to Mike Dwine in a telephone
call. I said, Mike, you're

1265
01:36:06.359 --> 01:36:11.680
the governor. You win by twenty
five percentage points, but during your term,

1266
01:36:11.720 --> 01:36:15.319
you're going to have partial birth abortion
on demand and marijuana sold on street

1267
01:36:15.359 --> 01:36:20.439
corners. Then said some funny stuff. What do you say to you when

1268
01:36:20.479 --> 01:36:27.079
you say that shut up? I'm
saying, well, that's your COVID birth

1269
01:36:27.079 --> 01:36:31.359
abortion shutting down Ohio businesses hot.
Yeah, Hi. At some point the

1270
01:36:31.479 --> 01:36:35.239
foolishness has got to stop. Thank
you. I need Mike. Then we

1271
01:36:35.319 --> 01:36:41.119
got the railroad. Then what about
the railroad thing? Deeply disappointed at where

1272
01:36:41.159 --> 01:36:45.079
we are tonight by the way,
your flip flopping on the railroad thing?

1273
01:36:45.479 --> 01:36:47.359
Do you yeah? Where do you
stand on him? Yeah? Decided yet?

1274
01:36:47.399 --> 01:36:49.560
Yeah, and decide. I wait
till Tuesday. I got to get

1275
01:36:49.600 --> 01:36:53.399
all the information. We laid it
out pretty good the other day. Total

1276
01:36:53.399 --> 01:36:57.000
crap, Joe Dieter says, total
justice. Joe's that hit that again?

1277
01:36:58.399 --> 01:37:02.119
Who's justice Joe? Does Joe Dieters
stand on issue twenty two? Joe Dieters,

1278
01:37:03.239 --> 01:37:06.279
excellency, Well, we'll see what
happens, won't we the who's that

1279
01:37:06.359 --> 01:37:11.000
voice? Who is that guy?
I don't know? Kind of like Marty

1280
01:37:11.039 --> 01:37:15.439
Brown? And we burn that bridge
just really keep starving aout him and a

1281
01:37:15.760 --> 01:37:19.880
known gorilla here in Cincinnati. So
therefore Joe doesn't call the show anymore.

1282
01:37:20.079 --> 01:37:24.319
Joe still is embarrassing that he killed
the gorilla, and he thought it was

1283
01:37:24.359 --> 01:37:27.880
a good idea at the time,
but now animal rights activists are not not

1284
01:37:27.960 --> 01:37:33.760
happy that Harambe is dead and Joe
is on the Supreme Court on the body

1285
01:37:33.800 --> 01:37:38.039
of Harambe. Wait a minute,
that was Fiona drop it in its eager

1286
01:37:38.079 --> 01:37:43.199
to shoot him too? Might that
might be beg But ye oh, Joe

1287
01:37:43.399 --> 01:37:46.239
is not happy. How dare you
genderize that hippoto? Yeah? Could be

1288
01:37:46.279 --> 01:37:58.239
transgender. There's Tucker right there.
You got Tucker and Bbmass thirteen tons of

1289
01:37:58.279 --> 01:38:01.800
fun coming at you right there.
Baby, who wins Tucker? Who wins

1290
01:38:02.279 --> 01:38:08.319
Arambe v? Tucker? You hear
it? There's Frintz Now now you're bringing

1291
01:38:08.319 --> 01:38:11.279
the kids in. It getting weird. It's a tough matchup. Fritz is

1292
01:38:11.319 --> 01:38:14.199
no longer a kid. I mean
time has passed for that's true. It's

1293
01:38:14.239 --> 01:38:17.439
like grown by now. Isn't it
gotta be a good in in a lake?

1294
01:38:17.560 --> 01:38:21.520
Or is it on ground? I
mean, I still think a hippo

1295
01:38:21.560 --> 01:38:29.560
would beat pretty much anything on the
world's soil. If a rambe got on

1296
01:38:29.600 --> 01:38:32.239
the back of a hippo, the
hippo would What do you bite though there's

1297
01:38:32.239 --> 01:38:34.760
nothing? What do you what do
you bite? Fat? Thing's like thirty

1298
01:38:34.760 --> 01:38:40.119
five pounds, run like, yeah, we're on like thirty miles per hours.

1299
01:38:40.279 --> 01:38:45.119
Yeah, I'm going So Joe Dieters
would not kill Harambe. Who Joe

1300
01:38:45.199 --> 01:38:48.199
Dieters would he kill Fiona? I
don't think so. Who friends Joe Dieters?

1301
01:38:48.359 --> 01:38:50.960
Joe Dieters. What's that name from? He used to be somebody?

1302
01:38:51.760 --> 01:38:56.600
Well he the students reporters of Proud
service of your local Thamestar. He didn't

1303
01:38:56.600 --> 01:39:00.920
get air conditioning dealers Thamestar quality you
could feel in Cincinnati called Stacey Heating get

1304
01:39:00.960 --> 01:39:09.399

six seven h E A T. We

1305
01:39:09.560 --> 01:39:14.399
got seven thousand more migrants coming out
of Guadalajara. You ought to see walking

1306
01:39:14.479 --> 01:39:18.439
in holding hands, seg we gotta
go. They stop the Cuban immigrants from

1307
01:39:18.439 --> 01:39:24.920
coming because they would no vote Republican. Only the Democrats are coming. No

1308
01:39:25.319 --> 01:39:28.640
Cubans vote Republicans. They can't.
They can't get in. They know what

1309
01:39:28.720 --> 01:39:33.159
real communism is like. And I'm
here to help. Thank you, Ronald.

1310
01:39:33.560 --> 01:39:36.399
There's the man right there. Roc. Well, this will be brought

1311
01:39:36.439 --> 01:39:40.920

1329
01:41:09.000 --> 01:41:13.000
Jack Crumley, I remember it was
such a sharp change in mood. I

1330
01:41:13.079 --> 01:41:15.000
was at the game with friends,
and the whole thing went from cheering to

1331
01:41:15.079 --> 01:41:19.119
this worried silence in a stadium that
was full of people. Eddrick Blair for

1332
01:41:19.159 --> 01:41:24.439
the Buffalo Bills is safety Damar Hamlin, who is in on that tackle on

1333
01:41:24.600 --> 01:41:30.560
T. Higgins. Very quickly after
he went down, personnel began frantically waving

1334
01:41:30.720 --> 01:41:34.000
to bring out a stretcher. There
comes the ambulance backing in from the tunnel

1335
01:41:34.000 --> 01:41:36.720
onto the football field, and I
remember, in the first few minutes,

1336
01:41:36.760 --> 01:41:40.760
my friend saying they're going to call
the game and that we might have just

1337
01:41:40.800 --> 01:41:45.079
seen a guy die on the field. Our Hamlin had CPR performed on him

1338
01:41:45.119 --> 01:41:49.079
on the field for an extended period
of time, and obviously the greatest fear

1339
01:41:49.279 --> 01:41:53.640
at this point is that it could
be a fatality. Hopefully that is not

1340
01:41:53.760 --> 01:41:59.000
the case. Yeah, I mean
ten minutes of cprs is an extensive time

1341
01:41:59.079 --> 01:42:06.560
period. There was no basic suggestion
that he came to and because of that

1342
01:42:06.680 --> 01:42:12.159
quick thinking and the action in those
first few minutes, they saved Damar's life.

1343
01:42:12.439 --> 01:42:15.760
And now he's coming back to Cincinnati, and I'm sure that's going to

1344
01:42:15.760 --> 01:42:21.159
be an emotional return. Listen for
