Say after the tri State bad weather is heading our way with winds up to
fifty miles in our state. Tuned for that and more. Plus later on
we're going to have Randy Freaking in at one thirty to talk about Red Spaceball
and the Community Fund. It's getting ready for action. On Thursday. Our
coverage starts about five am, but nonetheless, albeit the Holy Grail with Marty
Brenneman and Bob Castellini, a bunch of others starting about two o'clock. Joints
there if you can get in, it's going to be wonderful. But most
importantly Hamny County Prosecutor and Melissa Powers has an opinion editorial in the Inquiry about
runaways, what's happening in juvenile court. Also there was another a long editorial
and there was a long story in the Inquiry about snitches are being misused and
the neophyte running against Melissa Powers is saying that there used to be an addit
of homicide cases in the Hamny County Prosecutor's office to make sure that the murderers
are getting all that's due to them. As far as rights plus squatters are
a big issue, I know in northern Kentucky and Ohio people are concerned about
leaving their homes and whether squatters may simply come into your house live there and
you can't get them out. And a plus elder justice is percolating on the
side. Also Melissa Powers, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And
first of all, there's an audit proposed by your political opponent, an audit
as if this is some sort of an accounting matter of the snitches and others
on the criminal cases. How many kinds of prosecutor's office has been recognized for
decades as the top prosecutor's office in the Tri State, if not the nation.
The conviction rate you have for murder cases as well, above ninety five
percent might be ninety nine percent. Can you describe the role of snitches in
murder cases and why they're critical and those who criticize such things don't know what
they're talking about. Well, oftentimes, Bill that in order to proceed on
criminal matters, it may involve having informants or snitches Jaoe house snitches involved in
a case. And it is the use of these informants are always determined on
a case by case basis. The decision to offer any testimony and informant in
a trial is also determined by a case by case basis with the attorney handle
meet cases, and then we use a lot of we go back through what
their testimony of maybe if used at a trial, consulting with law enforcement,
review of the evidence, what are the strength and weaknesses of the case.
So there's a lot of factors that go in. No one likes using them,
but sometimes it's a necessity. Is the only way in order to go
forward. We would love to have you know, cases proved and witness all
our witnesses to be you know, crimes to occur in front of a convent
for example, where the witnesses are impeccable, but that's not always the case
when you're dealing with criminal matters. So it's used, It's been used for
years, is forever really quite honestly. Some are effective and sometimes it's not.
It's a high risk in using the snitch, There's no doubt about it.
Many times it's the only method to get a conviction. And members of
these gangs in Cincinnati, and you can get somebody killed in Cincinnati for like
fifteen hundred dollars or less. And these aren't boy scouts. These are not
members of the Chamber of commerce. And many times if you call her a
snitch and they put the hot white lamps on them, they want to give
information, and you vought your juris ahead of time, telling them, look
this is and then you confirm that what the snitch is telling you independently objectively
about some other member of the gang. You confirm that before you proceed.
And so for those who say there needs to be an audit, that someone
needs to come to audit the ament Cunty Prosecutor's office on the use of snitches,
how does a seasoned prosecutor like you react to the idea of an audit.
Well, I did see the response or comment by my opponent who wants
to conduct an audit of all homicide cases. So I don't know how far
back that she's intending to go with that and overturned convictions if a snitch was
used or an informant was used. I have no idea, but it's it
just points out I think the glaring that is so glaring that she doesn't know
what she's talking about, and she does not have the experience in the criminal
justice system to understand how things work. And and basically I think it points
out that she doesn't She hasn't been in the courtroom and has never handled a
homicide case, has never worked with law enforcement on homicide cases, have never
have never interviewed a snitch, have never gone through all the methods that you're
trying to make sure that the snitch is giving you truthful testimony. The last
thing we want is to be able to have a trial where we and we
have a snitch that's not credible. We do the best we can with that,
but as you know, the criminal justice process is not perfect. Both
the state and the criminal defendants, we want a fair trial. It's not
always going to be a perfect one. Every day we work in law enforcement,
we want to make sure justice is served in the courtrooms, and we
want to make sure that the people have confidence and what's happening inside the courtrooms.
If we made a mistake, we'll own up to it. This office
will own up to it, and we'll fight just as hard to correct the
record. When attempts are made to cast down on the work that we do,
we look at it as as this is all about public safety, keeping
people safe, holding people accountable, and punishing the wrongdoers, the law breakers,
the criminals that are committing the murders. That's who we want. We
do not. We are looking for the truth. We're always looking for the
truth. Of course, audits are always very important. Got to have an
audit now and then you've never heard of it, to have an audit,
I've never heard of that. But anyway, that's a new approach. But
you have a column on yesterday that you hamilet accounty, juvenile courts, stands
on runaways, a miscarriage of justice. Let me share with the American people
your first sentence. Last falls, thousands of Bengal fans gathered to cheer on
the Bengals at a tailgate around the stadium. A teenager walked among them.
She was pregnant, she was on the run, she was under eighteen,
and she was being trafficked, pimped out, and sold for sex to attendees
of the Ruckus party that takes place every home game during the football season.
Caseworkers had her name, her information, and her history. She's been missing
since July of twenty twenty three and on the run from her foster care placement.
Despite their efforts, she was slipping through the cracks and so this is
a tragedy that happens on large gatherings all the time with runaways and girls,
generally teenagers being trafficked for sex. Explain what the stance is of juvenile Court
relative to runaways and how it's the wrong approach. Well the law. There
are a number of statutes in Ohio that children can be taken into custody and
placed temporarily detention to make sure that they are safe from harm. There's a
federal law also that doesn't allow the children to be held more than seven days.
There's a timeline within twenty four hours if they're taken into custody on a
runaway warrant or a violation of a court order, and typically this involves foster
children and their placements. Currently, to date we have since this was implemented
by Juvenile Court, they decided not to accept runaway charges anymore and instead tell
families or Hamilton County Job and Family Services to file missing person reports for any
runaway or violations of placement orders and then issue them either as a citation and
then contact and have them filed as missing children reports. They claim that this
is a better way to go because it makes it not just in Hamilton County.
There's notice given you know throughout it could be throughout the country. For
example. What that means is is if a police, if a family or
the Hamilton County Job and Family Services, we have a runaway, we have
some right now, we have one hundred. I'm just going to talk about
foster children, not all all runaways, just the foster care kids alone,
one hundred and thirteen kids that have been that ran away from their placement.
Fifty six of them are still a wall since the Court's policy was initiated in
July of twenty three. The example that you pointed out involves one of these
cases where we our office ask for a warrant. Please give us a warrant.
What that enables police to do is to be able to if they locate
the child, take the child into custody and get them before the court to
try to get some services to them, have them evaluate it and see what
they need. What the problem is, why they are running away, If
they're running and so, without getting too technical, what the Court has done
is eliminated all that. Now they're not following the law. They claim it's
the extension of the federal law. So they are writing their own law,
there being activist judges writing their own law saying they're not going to accept any
runaway charges and then just do missing person reports. So what that is a
detriment to the child is if somebody, if the law enforcement does locate the
child, they can all they can do is ask the child, will you
come with us? You know, will you please come with us? What
can we do for you? You know, just ask questions. The child
can refuse to be taken into custody and brought back before the court, So
they've eliminated the mechanism that we can help these children. My office keeps asking
for these warrants. Hamilton since this has been this policy that they've developed and
adopted, if not following the law, creating their own law of no complaints,
no warrants pro Kids as opposed to it. Hamilton County, Job and
Family Services as opposed to it, the Guardian Items as opposed to it.
Also, the Public Defender's Office is opposed to it. Because there are I've
got a list of fifty six kids. The narratives are almost all the same.
If it's a female, there's either interest. We've had one female on
the run who odeed began using intravenious drugs, most likely heroine, given to
her by the pimp that was trafficking our So she's now dead and on a
wall. She was a wall when this happened. We have the girl that
you just explained, but mostly the females. What we have are the young
females are victims of trafficking, and the court knows that this is brought to
their attention by my office. They know about it and still refuse to issue
the warrants. They won't do it now. The warrant is our only mechanism
to remove them from a terrible situation. If it's a male, typically the
males are committing all kinds of crimes from our sin down to the burglary,
stealing, call ours, firearm charges, all the way down the gamut.
And we may catch the boys because they're picking up new charges. But the
females are the ones that are at the highest risk and the saddest cases that
you hear. All of them are being trafficked, and we know that at
the shelter, our local shelter, here is the known spot where these pimps,
these traffickers go to recruit and then Once a girl is recruited, she
goes back into the shelter and recruits more children, more females to be part
of the ring. And it's just a terrible, terrible situation. And the
court, I've made them aware of what's going on. I've pointed it out
to them. I've talked to law enforcement. We've opposed this, we're trying
to get it changed. But they are not relenting. They're double down and
sticking to it and claiming that they're following the law. But they've extended the
law. An extension of the law is the court decided not to accept runaway
charges and warrants. Well, so it leads to families, and that's just
the job. Those are just the foster children, if you I mean,
can you imagine the poor family a child runs away and they don't know how
to locate their child and the best they're going to get is a missing person
report. Well don't you want what do you want? The cop to be
able to take that child and move them from whatever beast situation it is.
I mean, it's just heartless what they're doing. But their agenda and there
they're political philosophy. I don't even know if it involves politics, but their
philosophy is harmful and they're hurting the most the most vulnerable segment of our society,
which not only children, but these children that have been on a difficult
road their entire life. And then we're just compounding which will be lifelong problems
obviously in the future if they if they survive it. And you want to
make clear to the American people that you do not want to criminalize runaways.
What you want to do is use the warrant issued by a judge to a
cop that when you love, okay to girl being sexually trafficked at a REDS
game of Bengals gamer anywhere, I have this warrant, I'm taking you into
custody and I'm gonna put you at twenty twenty. You're gonna go see a
magistrate and that begins the process of getting her out of that life. But
when you don't issue the warrant, that means you decriminalize crime. You decriminalize
it, and you say, well, just file a missing person's report along
with tens of thousands of others, and the cop doesn't they have the authority
to take physical control of that child to begin the process of getting them help.
And this is again Judge carry Bloom is the chief judge and Juvenile Court,
and she says, we're not going to issue warrants and just file a
missing person's report, which harms the children that she is supposed to help and
protect. And so you don't want to criminalize runaways, but you want to
get them in the system so they can get some help. They have a
ladder out of the hole in which they find themselves not now. Lastly,
one of the big issues happening in Hamiley County. I heard about a case
in an upscale community recently in what squatters moved into a house. And can
you tell the American people, just generally speaking, what rights does someone in
Ohio have when they're gone for a couple of weeks or three weeks or six
weeks and someone's living in their home. That seems to me to be a
burglary, but maybe not really explain squatters and how that's developing into a problem.
Well, squatters, they have legal rights in Ohio, surprisingly, and
it makes it difficult for the homeowner to actually remove that person there from the
home. Do you have to follow an eviction process? And that can take
anywhere from six to eight weeks. But the first thing in order to evict
a squatter is to smile and see hopefully a criminal trespass charge at the very
least, maybe a burglary offense. We have successfully prosecuted in the past squatters
for b and E breaking and entering deft. Sometimes they even file records with
the auditor's office and their false documents. We've had one where they're tampering with
records. This squatters they have no legal rights to the property, but they
can actually acquire possession by occupying the property even though they don't have permission of
the owner, and they over a period of time, the longer they're there,
they obtained these rights, says. Often it's an abandoned property or a
ten you know, the homeowner is gone for a period of time thirty days
or more, and people actually move in. They don't have their legal right
to live in there, but no rental agreement, no permission from the property
owner. But they what they turn on the water, they turn on the
electricity, they put it in their name. I mean, there's lots of
things that these squatters are doing that is just just insane to think and normally
that they could be treated and give any any kind of right. Now in
Florida, which I think is being effectively signed today by Guv. DeSantis,
they are giving the police to the right to immediately remove squatters. In Ohio.
The police cannot go in and take it, say knock on the door
and kick the squatter out. The owner, the homeowner has to go through
an eviction process, which is absolutely insane. But Florida. Hopefully Ohio will
follow Florida's lead and give the police the right to immediately remove the squatters and
not have to go through that formal process of eviction. Unbelieved you, I'll
contact you know, I'll get a hold of the Governor's office, the Speaker
of the House, Stevens. Huffman, the Senate. This has got to
be the law in Ohio. And I talked to Rob Sanders. The same
thing's happening in Kentucky. It's popular now among squatters to move from place to
place and they monitor a house they move in and they claim to have a
verbal lease, or they dummy up a lice online and say Tony Bender owns
the house in Montford Heights, and they go online the Recorder's office, Tony
Bender owns this house. He's not here, and we'll go online get a
lease. Sign Tony Bender's name to the lease. Yes, he's the landlord,
but I have I got a two year lease. And they dumb me
up some payment of one type or another, and they're in the house.
The cops shows up and says, wait a minute, you're not supposed to
be. Well, here's the lease. Tony Bender signed the lease, he's
the landlord, and I got it enough. Cop says, well, I'm
done. Then you got to go to court. That takes months. It's
unbelievable. It is unbelievable. I'm hoping that our state catches up to what
and uses for it is an example, and our lawmakers pass a bill that
allows it, does not keep this. You know, from that we can
protect ourselves. But in the meantime, you can take steps to a victor
squatter. And the first thing would be is that you want to contact your
local police department and hopefully get that trespassed charge at the very least. And
then there's other things going on like if they're vandalizing, they're using drugs in
there. If you can find out any of these kind of things, then
he's giving some actions that the police can take, so you can try to
use the criminal justice system in that way. Make sure that right, make
sure that you are trying, you know, you're preparing to prove your case
in court with videos, photographs, any damage or proof of this squatting.
Make sure that see what your utility bills have been changed into their name.
Make sure they're not paying you know, you're paying your property taxes. They're
not. I mean, there's lots of things that they're doing to stay in
the property. It's really a major problem, and now we're seeing it all
over Twitter. To sit there and teach people more of this, how to
do it and take advantage of this old lall we got to run. Melissa
Powers, thank you, and TikTok has videos telling squatters how to do this.
Melissa Powers, You're doing great work, and once again, thank you
for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show this Tuesday afternoon. Thank you very much.
Yeah, welcome, Thanks for having me. Bell I have a great
day, Melissa Powers. Let's continue with more. We're going to talk about
this after the news on news radio seven hundred WLW. Nation is leading to
better treatments and saving lives. Victory over cancer is there for the taking by
you, because today's cancer research is tomorrow's victory. Learn more at VET dot
org. Don't give up, don't ever give up. Well, according to
news accounts, the President Joe Biden is going to speak at any moment now
to address the issue of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore. Happened
about one am this morning when the cargo ship lost its way allegedly a power
failure, but we'll see. I watched the news conference this morning at Governor
Wes Moore in Maryland, and it appears that the cargo ship Dolly was on
his way to Sri Lanka and the harbor pilot. You may know that when
you're in this situation, there's very very well paid harbor pilots that know everything
about that particular harbor that takes over the ship. He's put on the ship,
and when he there's the harbor, he's taken off the ship by a
tug. And this particular occasion, when you watch the video this morning,
the ship itself one of these huge cargo ships, which is more than three
football fields long and more than one hundred yards across. This thing is gigantic
had lights on and they started a flicker about ten to twenty seconds before it
went off course, and so you can see on the video cars going across
the bridge, and all of a sudden, the cargo ship lost its power
and the so called pilot harbor, the harbor pilot could not course control the
ship and a veer to the left about one hundred yards and struck one of
those large pillars that support the Franciscott Key Bridge, which is a major bridge
connecting Baltimore to parts of other parts of Baltimore, Baltimore Interstate Highway System,
et cetera. And you can see the bridge itself simply collapse as it hit
the pillar. The bridge came down, and fortunately, in a sense,
there were some workers on the bridge at one o'clock in the morning who got
onto the roadway itself and stopped some of the traffic just a few minutes a
few seconds before the ship hit the pillar. And so at this point there
appears to be about six persons missing, and the temperature was about forty seven
degrees fahrenheit before dawn this morning, and Governor Moore said an investigation is ongoing
to determine how many people were caught in the collapse and plunge into the river.
That's not a definitive number. It appears to be. There's five vehicles
and fifty foot deep water that I would assume those in the vehicles at this
point have passed on and a horrible collision with a ship and a pillar for
a major thoroughfare over Baltimore. So we'll see what happens. To President's schedule
to speak sometime any minute, and when that happens, I'll throw it to
news we go. It points out that life is fragile. No, you
have no idea what's going to happen next. It would be as if someone
cars on the is breaking news on news radio seven hundred w L President Biden
now giving remarks following the Baltimore Bridge collapse. Let's go live to Washington to
coordinate an emergency response. Officials at the scene estimate eight people were an account
for still not still we're on account of for that number might change to have
been rescued, one without injury, one and critic cognition, and the search
and rescue operations continuing for all those remaining as we speak. I spoke with
Governor Moore this morning as well as the Mary Baltimore, the County Executive United
to both the United States Senators and the Congressman, and my Secretary of Transportation
is on the scene. I told them we're going to send all the federal
resources they need as we respond to this emergency. I mean all the federal
resources, and we're going to rebuild that port together. Everything so far indicates
that this was a terrible accident. At this time, we have no other
indication, no other reason to believe it is any intentional act here. Personnel
on board the ship were able to alert the Maryland Department Transportation that they had
lost control of their vessel, as you all know, and reported. As
a result, local authorities were able to close the bridge of traffic before the
bridge was struck, which undoubtedly saved lives. Our prayers are with everyone involved
in this terrible accident and all the families, especially those waiting for the news
of their loved one right now. I know every minute in that circumstance feels
like a lifetime. You just don't know. It's just terrible. We're incredibly
grateful for the brave rescuers who immediately rush to the scene and to the people
of Baltimore who want to say we're with you. We're going to stay with
you as long as it takes. And like Governor said, you're Maryland tough,
You're Baltimore strong, and we're going to get through this together, and
I promise we're not leaving. Here's what's happening now. The search and rescue
operation is our top priority. Ship traffic and the Port of Baltimore has been
suspended until further notice, and we'll need to clear that channel before the ship
traffic can resume. The Army Corps Engineers is on the spot and is going
to help lead this effort to clear the channel. The Port of Baltimore is
one of the nation's largest shipping hubs, and I've been there a number of
times as a Senator and as a Vice President. It handles a record amount
of cargo last year. It's also the top port in America for both imports
and exports of automobiles and light trucks. Around eight hundred and fifty thousand vehicles
go through that port every single year, and we're going to get it up
and running again as soon as possible. Fifteen thousand jobs depend on that port,
and we're going to do everything we can to protect those jobs and help
those workers. The bridge is also critical for travel, not just for Baltimore,
but for the Northeast. Carter over thirty thousand vehicles across the Francis Scott
Key Bridge on a daily basis, as virtually that well, it's one of
the most important elements for the economy in the Northeast and the quality of life.
My Transportation secretary is there now. As I told Governor More, I've
directed my team move heaven and earth to reopen the port and rebuild the bridge
as soon as humanly possible. And we're gonna work hand in hand with the
support of Maryland to support Maryland whatever they ask for. We're gonna work with
our partners in Congress to make sure the state gets the support it needs.
It's my intention that federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that
bridge, and I expect the Congress to support my effort. It's gonna take
some time, and the people of Baltimore can count on us so to stick
with them at every step of the way until the port is reopened and the
bridge is rebuilt. You know, we're not leaving until this job is done,
not leaving until then. So I just want to say God bless everybody
who everyone harmed this morning and their families, and may God bless the first
responders and many of them risking their lives. And I'm going to reason I'm
not going to take a lot of questions. There's remaining issues that are open
that we're going to determine what's going to happen in terms of the rescue mission
and the like. But you glad to go to Baltimore, sir, And
if so, how quickly I do, and as quickly as I can.
You said the federal government is also going to pay for the repairs. I'm
just curious. This was a ship that appears to be a fault. Is
there any reason to believe that the company behind the ship should be held responsible?
And then also you mentioned the people. We're not going to wait that
happen. We're going to pay for it to get the bridge be built and
open. What did you make the issue's decision not to attend this meeting this
week? Oh, I don't want to get plenty of time and talk about
you mentioned the port, ask about cars about the port and listening to live
coverage of President Biden giving remarks on the Baltimore bridge collapse. You can hear
reporters asking a lot of questions about a lot of different things, including the
bridge and some other international issues that are ongoing. We're staying focused on the
immediate response to this disaster for Baltimore and for much of the US. Again,
you heard the President say that's a major port when it comes to bringing
in and shipping out cars, along with lots of vehicle traffic that travels on
that bridge. The response to get people out of the water still going on
after that incident happened at about one point thirty in the morning. Keep it
tuned right here to news Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. All right,
Billy Cunningham, let's continue. This brings to mind some bridge collapses in and
around the tri State, and we have infrastructure in this country which is often
fifty to one hundred years old that needs some attention. But this is not
one of those circumstances. It's obvious that some shipping company, some large shipping
company, is liable for these damages. There's a question at the end of
this about whether or not lawsuits will be filed. I guarantee you in today's
world, lawsuits will be filed and those responsible must be held to account financially.
When the lights of power failure takes place on a large container ship,
largely that's the fault of somebody, and so I would anticipate in the days,
weeks and months ahead that person or that entity will be identified in a
way we go. But in the meantime, that bridge obviously could cost hundreds
of millions of dollars, if not more. You think of the Brent Spence
Bridge, just to build one next to it, and to referbresh the bs
Bridge a little bit. The numbers being given to us are about three billion
dollars to complete the project, and I would anticipate this would be a similar
expense of similar cost, which of course we will as taxpayers bear ourselves,
and then down the road seek to hold those financially accountable. If the company
is not liable capable of paying three billion dollars, in that case it's a
matter of folly, bankruptcy and opening up some other company. And all these
large container ships are headquartered in countries that have very lacks negligent laws. But
we'll see what transpires. But that's the latest of this at this time,
so let's continue with more coming up next. To might recall a few hours
ago at ten o'clock in the morning, there were decisions, there were arguments
made before the US Supreme Court. We have a guest coming up next going
to relate to that logan is with Catholic vote, etc. To what's at
staken. More So, let's continue Troil fifty five, home of your Reds
News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati, join us for our twenty twenty four
iHeartRadio Music Awards live from the JILDI Leader in Hollywood, Monday, April First,
let's continue Jill Cunning under Great America this morning, starting about ten o'clock,
the US Supreme Court hearing arguments. Each side was given about one hour
on these abortion pills and whether or not, for example, the makers in
California can ship the abortion pills to Mississippi, Alabama, Ohio, Kentucky,
Indiana, even though Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky may have different laws about abortion,
which is killing unborn, healthy babies, that the abortion pills kind of
defeat the purpose of states determining the rules of abortion because it comes through the
mail. And of course Biden and the Democrats want to kill as many healthy
unborn babies as is possible and get it done quickly. And so whether or
not that in opposition to Dobbs or not is an issue because we thought it
went back to the states, but it doesn't go back to the states.
If one state can impose its abortion pills on another state that doesn't want them,
it's a big deal. And according to a CNN this morning, of
course CNN is never wrong, sixty three percent of abortions today are through the
mail. And more so, Logan Church is interested in this topic. She
with a group that want to limit or as much as possible abortions and we'll
see what happens with that. Plus I have a column from her that talks
about Walgreens and CVS sometime this month, right at the end of the month,
may start selling over the counter abortion pills and more. All right,
Logan Church, once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.
And can you tell the American people what happened to the idea that individual
states can decide to have abortion under what means and methods. Goes the abortion
pills often to defeat that completely. Please explain that to the American people.
Yeah, So, first off, thanks for having me on. I think
one thing that we have to remember is the Biden administration has made it abundantly
clear that they tend to ensure that abortion is accessible and encouraged in every single
state. And they made that clear even in their state of the Union when
they decided the first hero I say with air quotations that they were going to
honor with a mother who decided to kill her child nine months in the womb
and had to go out of state, out of the state of Texas to
do it because it was illegal in Texas, and they decided she deserved to
be celebrated as a hero. So I mean, I think that tells us
everything we need to know about this administration. You know, one of the
things that this court case is going to even be talking about is the dangers
of this pill in general. So the FDA rushed approval for this pill,
or it's two pills. Most people don't realize that the first pill cuts off
the nutrients to the child, the second pill expels it from the body.
So they rushed the approval method for this pill under the pretense that it was
life saving care, which is interesting given the fact that it's quite literally taking
a life away. But yes, you're absolutely right. They're shipping it into
states, I mean states, groups like Walgreens and CBS are now going to
be carrying these pills in their stores in blue states, and they're continuing to
mail it to red states that have a pro life legislation in place. And
so it's very very sad seed. As far as the medical needs and most
abortions, uh, it isn't about women's healthcare. It's about killing unborn babies.
But nonetheless that's a different matter. As far as you point out here
that if you have an a topic pregnancy or the gestational age of the baby,
that it can be extremely dangerous to take these pills, and I guess,
uh, you don't see a doctor in person. What you have to
do is maybe not even if these things are sold over the counter, you
may have to have some sort of telemarketing to tell of medicine explain the dangers
of taking these pills without proper medical care. Right, So, I think
you touched on an important important point here. You used to have to see
a doctor even if you took the abortion pill. You don't anymore. They
remove that restriction. So it's you know, they sell it to as it's
you know, when you get to have an abortion in the comfort of your
home, of your own home, they want you to think that this is
no different than taking a tile and all. It's not a massive, you
know, what should be as operation. And one out of twenty five women
who take the abortion pill end up in the er from life threatening issues.
So you know, this is not exactly super safe as they want you to
believe. But yeah, absolutely, you know it's you end up getting a
prescription for this, you don't have to follow up with a doctor if it
is an a topic pregnancy or if there are other there's a plethora of other
things that can go wrong in your pregnancy. It can end up killing the
woman because she's taking a pill that's not going to be able. You can't
expel a baby through the Filippian tube just like that. It doesn't work like
that. There's a reason atopic pregnancies, when you when you end up removing
an actpic pregnancy, there's a reason even the Catholic Church doesn't consider that an
abortion, because the baby wasn't going to live and the woman definitely is not
going to live. So yeah, absolutely. And something else I think that
we need to make sure we're thinking about here is who does this benefit.
This doesn't benefit women. This benefits sex traffickers and abusers who now can order
the abortion pill to cover up tracks. I no longer have to see a
doctor, they don't have to risk taking the women into daylight, giving women
the opportunity to get out of their grasp. Now they can do it from
the comfort of the perpetrator's home. And I think we're going to see an
increase in that type of crime. As far as I wish, I'm not
shocked much anymore about anything, but one, Ohio, which was the birthplace
of the right to life movement with doctor Wilkie and his wife and I had
him on repeatedly twenty thirty years ago about a right to life. It began
here, and so the vote was taken and last November the vote was like
fifty six or fifty seven percent for abortion in Ohio. In fact, whether
it's Iowa or Michigan or whatever state, are you are you surprised, shocked,
dismayed by the idea that women in particular, Are you shocked by the
vote? So I actually excuse me, I actually live in Youngstown, Ohio.
So I live in Ohio. I was one of the voters on the
right side of that, you know, yes and no, because you know,
I think there was so much misinformation pushed down the vote around the vote,
and women were being told they wouldn't be able to get miscarriage care,
and you know, like all these horrible lines that the Left had no problems
viewing because it set into their anti life, pro death agenda. And so
no, I wasn't surprised just because the amount of money and misinformation that was
surrounding that it was hard to combat on our side because we don't have billions
of dollars pouring in from California and New York filling our agenda. Well,
you know, one thing, one thing I said Logan Church is that let's
begin with the idea that healthy mothers and healthy babies should babies should be born.
Now, there are unusual circumstances. I know in Kentucky they had this
fourteen year old girl that was impregnated by her stepfather and it was terrible rapes
taking place of her, and she was the She suddenly became the face of
the entire issue. But if we can begin with the idea that there's so
many means and methods for a woman and or a man not to cause a
pregnancy or to be pregnant. There's so many things to do, including abstinence,
including condoms, including birth control pills, including the Plan B. After
the event takes place, you have what two to four days to reconsider.
You can take that you have so many ways, means and methods not to
get pregnant, that if you get pregnant today, a woman gets pregnant,
there's so many ways, including Plan B to resolve that two to four days
after the event takes place. An abortion kills a beating heart, an abortion
kills a healthy baby. And so I know there's unusual circumstances where sex traffickers
or a child, a woman, a girl thirteen fourteen, it's impregnated by
who knows who, that she's completely controlled by the trafficker, lately controlled by
the stepfather, is confused and unhappy, doesn't know what to do. But
just begin with the idea that healthy mothers giving birth to healthy babies is the
way the society continues. Shall we say and simply to say that we're going
to have abortion on demand and states have voted against it. In fact,
I don't think any state yet has banned abortion at the ballot box, which
I think is a commentary in our way of life. But they use the
worst examples possible, which don't apply in ninety nine percent of the cases.
So let me ask you this, we lastly logan Church of Catholic vote.
Can you tell us what you expect the court sometime in June to do?
What? What would you what would you tell the court to do about these
abortion pills across state lines, which violate often the rights of each state.
What would you ask the court to do? Well? I think what I
want the court to do is probably pretty clear, you know. I think
at the end of the day, you know, most I think we need
to be looked into is this filly even safe in the first place. That's
something that the court needs to address. You know, we rush disapproval in
the two thousands, and you know, there have been so many reports of
dangers to women, women dying from these pills, and so we need to
be if you truly care about women's health, that's something first and foremost we
have to pay attention to. And that's why the pro life movement, you
know, I think is starting to shift and realize that that's what that's what
the voters want to hear. They want to hear that you care about them,
not just their baby. And so we do. We care about both
the mother and the child, protects and both. And so that's that's step
one. Step two is you have to respect states legislation. You have to
respect the people of the states what they want. And so if there's a
pro life state, say like Alabama, or say like Mississippi, yeah,
you absolutely should have to respect that. Because if the citizens they are supposed
to respect the laws, how are they supposed to, you know, follow
the law if you know, the powers that be say they don't have to.
And so what type of standard are you setting? You know, if
the people don't like the laws of their states, that they're welcome and free
to move to a separate state. Well, we get the government with and
often that concerns me greatly, and I wish people would get into the issue
and understand what's going on, but often they don't because these commercials that are
being around are terribly misleading. But nonetheless, Logan Church, what is your
website of any if the American people want to get more involved Catholic Vote dot
org. Whether you're Catholic or someone who just wants to learn more about Bates,
freedom and family, and they want to see candidates who put those values
at the forefront of their mission. Follow us. We're on all social media.

the bottom of the hour, after one thirty five, we're going to have
one of the great representatives of the Red's Community Funds going to be here,

or Ladies, how much you love here in my dreamy man voice.
Yeah, the talkback feature. Check it out on seven hundred wlw's live stream

what's happening now at mckilly Mortgage. There are thousands and thousands of Americans who
need to get their financial their credit house and order right now. If you

and another high interest rate debt, call mckilly mortgage now and ask you about
the fixed rate home equity loan. McKinley Mortgage can get you pre approved the
same day and start house shopping tomorrow. Call seven nine to one twenty seven
hundred. McKinley Mortgage is relentless in pursuing low interest rates and passing them on

eight to ten percent, all well above what you can get at McKinley Mortgage

refinance in April first payment, not do until June. That means two months
of mortgage payments go directly in your pocket. The number to call seven nine
one, twenty seven hundred or best low Rates dot com. Hear that that's
the same, right, Billy Cunningham the Great America. At about five minutes
or so, Randy Freaking and Charlie Frank will be here getting ready for retch
baseball on Thursday, raising money for the redch Community Fund that have done such
great work all over the tri State and building fields and other structures so boys
and girls can play baseball, softball, whatever. And you may participate in
this for a big event tomorrow night. And Charlie Frank and Randy Freaking will
be here. I have a text here from an Andy. I won't give
out his last name, but it begins with an S. He said to
me, I'm so relieved that Joe Biden sent Pete Budajeg to take charge in
addressing this tragedy in Baltimore. What a difference he'll make. Ask those in
Palestine. Ohio. You may recall about eighteen months ago a train derailed with
terrible consequences. It took really Senator JD. Vance to go up there a
few weeks later to show the terrible circumstances that remained. And the old thing
is that send the federal government to do a job. It'll be over budget,
it will take too long and done poorly. That is the nature of
the federal government and nature of most governments. And so we hope and anticipate
that this particular bridge collapse occasioned by a large container ship, a cargo ship
that lost power and veered off course by about one hundred yards, will be
done in the next one to three years. In Cincinnati, the pres Bridge
began about twenty years ago when Charlie Lucan says, you know, we have
to plan to get a new bridge here. In Cincinnati, connecting the South
and the North, Ohio, Michigan, Covington, Cincinnati. Now we're here,
we are twenty years later, and we're still haven't put a shovel to
dirt yet, although they're telling me that it's going to be done by twenty
twenty nine, a close five years away to build a new bridge when there's
no salvage requirement required below it. If this thing is done within three years,
I think it would be a show to behave that quickly. But the
idea that the federal government is ready to get on the job and get it
done quickly would be a joke if it wasn't so funny. Because whenever these
terrible, terrible, terrible events occur, it's always over budget, it always
takes much longer than anticipated. And I can't think it's going to take months
just in a salvage operation before they can start planning for the bridge. But
thank god there was a a made a issued and I have more information from
Denny and Dayton, who has some pretty good information about what's going on.
And Denny from Dayton relates to me, among other things, that this particular
time, there wasn't a Harvard pilot that the crew itself is always in charge
of what's going on, and that essentially the investigation will show that, he
says to me, the captain never relinquishes command. The pilot is a navigator
and advisor to the captain, whose crew continues to teer and operate the ship.
The ship was built by Hyundai, so we'll see what happens down the
road. But I think Denny from Dayton for that information. Let's continue with
more. Stay tuned. How you can get involved in a great Reds community

ABC News. This is a special report from ABC News Baltimore Bridge collapse.
I'm Brian Clark. President Biden says he's ensuring federal resources are available to respond
to the Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore. Governor Wes Moore said the nine hundred
and forty eight foot containership reported power problems before striking the bridge. We can
confirm that the crew notified notified authorities of a power ship. Homeland security documents
reviewed by ABC News confirmed there were no vehicles on the Key Bridge when it
was hit by the ship. Six people are still missing, says ABC Sam
Sweeney. This is an incredibly dangerous operation. Most of the bridge did fall
down, but there are parts that are still dangling and they have to be
worried about the rest of that falling down. So it's a very perilous operating
environment for these first responders. Two people have been rescued. Now, questions
about the impact this will have on shipping into the busy port of Baltimore.

great noted personal injury lawyer. What comes to mind when the large continue innships
loses power runs into a pillar of the Francis Scott Cape Bridge, killing we
think six injuring thousands. Your reaction is a lawyer, Well, Willie,
thanks for having me on the show. My reaction as a lawyer is a
loss of power is certainly foreseeable. Whoever manufactured that boat or ran the boat,
and so there's obviously a negligence claim out there and probably a huge class
action. You know, not only the people got killed, but the people
that are going to be affected by the bridge not being available. But for
what years? I think they got clears. What's one of the most busiest
ones in the world, That's what they said. There's a lot of concrete
down there. So you're thinking about money already, aren't you. You know,
Willie, I'm retired, so I'll leave that up to my friends in
the legal profession Paul DeMarco, Bill Markovitz. People like that. They'd love
to get this case, wouldn't they? Oh, they would love it absolutely
well, they're always interested in doing justice. It's not about the money for
lawyers. It's about justice. Would you agree, correct, it's all segment
think, it's all about money. It's not about money, it's about justice.
It's justice and compensating the victims. Well, the BS Bridge, you're
going to take the Companion Bridge? They say, Well, we started in

Grand Raffle ticket. Now listen to this prize, seg Man, get ready

text back and forth with Eric Trump. I'll send him a little note that
if the Donald's in the neighborhood, it's not up in Suitor and died it
recently. Come on, buy it to my ballpark, the Great American He
would make an appearance. Is that fair to say? Would that be something?
Is that ballpark named after you? I related before the stories of Carl
Linda that called me and I gave him permission to do so. Yes,
sir, that's continuing Hopingdave dot Com, Randy freaking sue everyone you know segment
get me out of the Student's Report, Willia and honor of tomorrow night's big
event downtown at the Moorline House Opening Dayeve dot Com, You're going to represent
someone to the last dime they have. I like that. We leave you
with the immortal words of the stood Report. We will bring championship baseball to
Cincinnati. You didn't say when, though, Randy, he did not.
Maybe Thursday he will. Thursday he will say. On seven hundred WLW join
us for our twenty twenty four iHeartRadio Music Awards live from the Joldie Theater in
Hollywood, Monday, April five. Bill Cunningham, the great American, Nate
the Hawkin, who's been with the American Spectator, and he's looking at the
false concept of the melting pop And I'm looking at the words, Nate that's
on the base of the Statue of Liberty, among other things, it says,
give me you're tired, give me your poor, your huddled masses yearning
to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teamings yours these are great messages
for the nineteenth century, may not apply today. And tell us in your
view, you're with the American Spectator and you've written a column which I'm looking
at right now now that in the past that the immigrants would come to America
legally, go through Ellis Island or whatever, get in line, take five
to ten years. Background checks are done, health checks are done, vaccinations
up to date, no criminal record, maybe have a skill needed in this
country. That is not what's happening on the southern border right now. Explain
the differential. No, in many ways, it's the exact opposite. Actually,
I mean, look, the words on the Statue of Liberty are beautiful
words, and our history is such that we have often been a generous,
welcoming country to many, many generations of immigrants. But all of that does
not change the fact that you have to have a common sensical, national interest
oriented immigration policy. Just because you're a welcoming, generous country does not mean
that everyone in the world should be let into your country. And we traditionally
understood that the words in the Statue of Liberty. Notwithstanding, the problem today
is that the people coming into our country now now are very, very different
from the people who came here at the end of the nineteenth century in the
beginning of the twentieth, and that is having a very different impact on our
country to yest. In fact, when I look at the immigrants from Africa
that come here legally, they have generally more income, they work harder,
They're ingratiate themselves into America legally because that's how they begin, and they do
quite well. Of course, those on the radical left want to make it
a racial argument, but because most of those coming on the southern border are
persons of color, that somehow America further develops into a racist country going after
them. But in reality, we freely welcome legal immigrants from Africa, the
great majority of whom are black, and they do much better, and they're
most welcome. And so if the first thing the immigrant does is to illegally
cross the border, the second thing is to reside illegally in America. The
third is to get illegal fraudulent identification. A long pattern of illegal behavior has
been established in expecting their host and talk about the tribalization of America, because
when you hear illegally, you're looking over your shoulder constantly. You don't have
a sense that you belong And so how does that encourage the Balkanization of America.
Well, part of it is just the fact that it is illegal versus
illegal. I mean, that's a part of it. As you said.
The other thing though, that we have to have a conversation about, is
just the sheer scale of immigration. It's one thing, you know, the
number of African immigrants, for example, who are coming over legally legally,
it's a much smaller number, first of all, and because they are coming
over legally and they're going through the process, they're often the sort of cream
of the crops. They're the very best people from you know, places like
Nigeria. They have college degrees, they contribute to society, et cetera,
et cetera. And if you actually look at the statistics, African immigrants who
come here legally are wealthier than white people in America. So they do quite
well for themselves, you know, so much for white privilege. The difference
is the people who are coming over, whether it's from Africa, from South
America, et cetera, illegally, they're coming in much much larger numbers,
and they're very very different because they aren't going through the background checks, the
vetting process, et cetera. And because they're coming over at such large scale,
they're effectively bringing their country with them to America. So, you know,
the Haiti example was one that I used in my column recently because of
everything that's going on in Haiti right now, where the entire country is basically
collapsed. It's a failed state, and millions of Haitians want to come to
America. Well, when you bring millions of people from any country into your
country all at once, your country ends up looking more like the one that
they came from. It's just common sense. So we have to look at
the countries these people are coming from when they're coming here on mass at scale,
and ask ourselves, honestly, do we want to be more like the
countries that these people are coming from. And if you look at the condition
of a place like Haiti or a place that a lot of these other people
are coming from, the answer to me obviously seems no. Well, let's
talk about failed states all over Central America South America. Venezuela, which was
the richest country in South America by far twenty five years ago, has gone
through socialism with Chavez and Madora and at this point, Venezuelans want to come
in, Haitians want to come in, and Somalians want to come in.
They came to this country as Somalians. And I've read some of the writings
of elin Omar and others that when they come to this country. Omar was
in a refugee camp in Somalia. Somehow she was plucked out of that camp,
and within fifteen years she's a United States Congressman. And she still considers
herself wearing the garb of Somalian refugees and is always crapping on this country.
And she talks about that they came to this country as Somalians and this country
gave them no reason to rethink or abandon their identity. They stay Somalians inside
of America. How does that benefit us? What I used, did they
bring to this country? If they want to be Somalians living in America the
opposite of benefiting us. It does irreparable harm to our country. And you
know, Ilhan Omar is a perfect example of someone who you know. Just
again, if we're just being honest, Somalia is one of the worst countries
in the world. I know people don't like talking about other countries that way.
It's just true. There's a reason that people in Somalia wants to come
to America. Nobody in America wants to go live in Somalia. That's just
an objective fact. America, out of the generosity of her heart, gave
Ilhan Omar and her family refuge in this country, and as you pointed out,
she reaped the benefits of that. She went to college, she was
elected to the United States Congress within the space of a couple of decades.
And her response is not to be extremely grateful to America, but to constantly
lecture us about how awful we are. And you know, these comments that
she made at a speech about some Malia in Minneapolis leaked recently where she's openly
boasting to a predominantly Somalian immigrant population in the crowd about how she's serving Somalian
interests while serving in the United States Congress. Well, we used to have
a word for that, and there was treason. And I think if this
country had the self confidence that it used to have, where we're actually willing
to demand that immigrants who come here are loyal to this country and own this
country, we would treat it as such, but because we no longer have
the confidence to say to someone like ilhan Omar, that's unacceptable. If you
don't like this country the way that it is, you know, the door
is right there. If we still had that confidence, we would be able
to say that, but we don't any more. Unfortunately, Night hackem Let's
jump ahead a few years. The last three years have been unmitigated disasters on
the southern border, and the Democratic Party, like many other despotic regimes around
the world, want to imprison the leader of the opposition. Wants to bankrupt
that person. They don't want to kill him yet, because I look at
what Russia did and the Russia tear attack, what they did to the four
people involved in shooting up that theater. I don't think they were given their
miranda rights before their ears were cut off and they were forced to eat their
own ears. I look at the status of those three and a look at
what's happening around the world. We don't want to come have brought into this
country individuals who don't want to be Americans. They want to stay at Somalians
and take advantage of our welfare state. There's also a video making the rounds
of how someone can gain the system quickly, get somebody pregnant, have a
child born in America, and then that begins, begins somebody called chain migration.
If you're the father or mother of an American citizen born in this country
who is three weeks old, what happens to the entire family? Right?
They become American citizens, right right? And that's the goal. The goal
is to game the system. The other immigrants that came here wanted to get
to work. When African immigrants come here, they want to get to work.
They're engineers, their doctors, they want to work. That's not the
case on southern border who come from failed states and socialists regimes who want to
gain the system. Let's jump ahead about three, four, five, six
years. Hopefully you and I will still be here, and let's have the
nightmare continuing beginning in November the fifth of this year. And here we are
in twenty thirty, and we've had another forty to fifty million. There's polling
that indicates there's an additional four hundred million human beings who want to come to
America. The southern border is wide open. The US Census takes place in
twenty thirty which deals with persons and not citizens, and so the power shift
to the Congress is going to be great. What does America look like in
twenty thirty twenty thirty five if the Democrats and their progressive friends stay in charge.
Well, again, just to be candid, not the kind of country
that I would like to pass on to my children. You know, I'm
twenty five years old, so I'm still pretty young. But I'm looking around
the country that I grew up in, the country that I was born in,
the country that I love, the country that I will die in,
and it, increasingly, I'm worried, looks unrecognizable. And that is in
no small part because of mass immigration. And the other thing is just again,
we have to be honest about this. One of the reasons that the
Democrats are so unwilling to do anything at all to stem the mass tide of
immigration coming into our country is because they perceive correctly that it makes it easier
for them to win elections and more difficult for Republicans to win elections. The
people who are coming over the border, by and large are not Republicans.
They vote Democrats for a variety of different reasons. And you have seen states
like Arizona, Virginia. You can go down the line change from red to
purple to blue largely as a result of this phenomenon. So we can't discount
that as one of the primary reasons that Democrats are completely unwilling. You know,
they used to actually talk a big game about border security. At least
all of that is completely out the window. And I think that's at least
partially because they understand that it helps their electoral prospects, and Republicans need to
understand that this is a matter of survival for the party if nothing else,
to be able to actually get a hold on this and stem the tide of
mass immigration. And then, Hawkem, I'm looking at a column you wrote
a few months ago. Some complain that Donald Trump did not do enough on
the southern border to institutionalize a system that lets in the right kind of people
and doesn't let in the wrong kind of people. You make the point that
there was a sabotage and revolt inside the Republican Party to stop Donald Trump.
Explain, right, well, look for those of us who it's a top
priority. For for those of us who border security and immigration are top priority,
obviously there were disappointments about the Trump administration. You know, he ran
primarily on immigration in twenty sixteen, and he wasn't able to get sort of
a full comprehensive solution across the finish line. But you also have to understand
that this is a president who was fought not just by Democrats, not just
by all of our other institutions, big tech, the media, but by
his own party establishment tooth and nail every step of the way, including or
even especially on immigration. Because the old Republican Party, the sort of chamber
of commerce business Republican Party, they in many ways were the architects of some
of the worst mistakes on immigration of the last few decades. You know,
it was George Bush who pushed amnesty. So the remnants of that Republican Party
have never liked Donald Trump, and in no small part the reason they dislike
Trump so much is because he is diametrically opposed to them on immigration and the
border. And before we can even have a conversation about fighting Democrats on this
issue, we have to get our own house in order. And what the
Trump presidency demonstrated is that there are a substantial number of old school establishment Republicans
who are not anywhere where they need to be, anywhere to where they need
to be on the issue of immigration, and you know, Nate, the
Democrats are like packs of dogs you rarely see with hyenas and wild dogs.
Suddenly two or three go off the other direction. There's a leader, and
everyone gets behind the leader, and whatever the leader does, whatever the leader
goes, the Democrats go. Republicans are like cats trying to hurt cats as
impossible. Democrats are dogs, and you never Right now, there's a one
vote majority in the House of Representatives, one vote. When George Santos did
what he did, the Republicans he was a loyal Republican Congressman from Long Islan
who was a crook, But what they did was make sure that he was
kicked out of Congress and kicked out of the Republican Party. But when Menendez
of New Jersey, a Democrat in the Senate, also a criminal, and
he took as many bribes as Jim Biden, Joe Biden, Jim Biden,
Hunter Biden is taken and the Democrats made sure that Menenda stayed in the Senate
because they had a one vote majority, they weren't going to give that up.
So once again the dogs, the Democrats all went the same direction under
Chuck Schumer. The Republicans are the cats, and the media demanded the George
Santo has been kicked out of the Republican Party, and now they're down to
a one vote majority, which is not a majority at all. Now for
two weeks the Congress is out of session. Why in the media demand that
Mendeddees to be kicked out as a US Senator. Well, of course,
I think you and your listeners both know the answer to that question, which
is that the media is one in the tank for Democrats. It's been that
way for a while, but it's become much more militant and much more pronounced
over the course of the last six years or so. The media was always
they always had a liberal bias, but now, unlike you know, the
sort of old school liberal media, they really see themselves as activists, and
they see themselves, either explicitly or implicitly, as dedicated to making sure that
Republicans don't win elections, that Conservatives day out of power, and that left
wingers and Democrats stay in power. So this is why, you know,
the Democrats are just better at politics. Than the Republicans. And we're not
really going to have a chance of actually beating the Democrats comprehensively and winning real
victories until Republicans actually figure out how to do politics in the same way that
the Democrats do, and that starts with not taking your tees from the media.
It doesn't matter how many hit pieces they write on George Santos or whoever.
You know, you need those Republicans to maintain your majority and to be
able to do what your voters sent you to Congress to do. And you
have to just learn how to not care what the media says and how many
questions people ask you a press conference is because you serve your voters, not
the New York Times at the Total Board. Well, lastly, I would
say this that Media Research Center keeps track of these stories. They watch everything
so you don't have to. And for every one story about Menendez, the
Senator from New Jersey as or crook, there were fourteen stories about George Santos.
The media understood that they had to get rid of George Santos because of
the slim majority in the House for Republicans, and they worked and worked and
worked and worked, especially seeing an MSNBC New York Times until Santos was gone,
But they did not have the same rules with Menendez, the crook from
New Jersey, because after all, there was a one vote majority in the
Senate and the media knew that the Democrats could not afford ABC, NBCCBS,
most of the newspapers are really the pr arm of the Democratic Party and they
take their marching orders. We don't have an independent press, we have a
codependent press. And even Ronald McDaniel was taken a task by NBC Chuck Todd
and others for being a voice of Republicanism. She did a terrible job as
the chair of the Republican Party. But nonetheless, when NBC News hired her
to be the voice of the Republican Party, there was a revolt among the
NBC staffers of anger because there might be a different viewpoint on MSNBC. The
media and want that. But once again, Nate Hawkman, I've read your
stuff for many years. Good stuff here about the immigrant population coming in is
different than ever before. And Nate Hawkman, once again, thank you for
coming on the Bill Cunningham Show, and with your permission, we'll do it
again. Thank you, Nate. Thanks Bill I really appreciate it. Let's
continue with more if the line becomes available, which it never does. Five
one, three, seven, nine, seven thousand, Bill cunning into Grand
American Live at Rome of the Reds News Radio seven hundred WLW. Hey,
Beastball fans, did you seven hundred WLW. Congratulations Carol Castings once again of
Cincinnati. She's won again. We'll give her a five dollar gift certificate from
Fish's Mike McConnell. Good morning, dear, never I heard that. Well
check weather just a couple of minutes, that would you? Good morning.
Experimenting around here today, see if people can actually play the hot Wag in
their sleep. I'm just part of a continuing experiment here. It's first time
I've ever gone to work that I can recall without a cup of coffee.
That's how fast I was flying this morning. I was here just like that.
So no got I'm here now, aren't I? Night? Before ten
o'clock? Still Jim Scott Show isn't on a BEG one seven hundred WLW.
We got to rade our forecast around here somewhere. We'll dig it up and
impart it to you in just a minute. Oh hello, quiet and I'm
spokes, I'm broadcasting. You know, Rock Matt Reese has digitized a whole
bunch of history here, including Bob Trumpy with Wade Hoyt and Bob Trumpy earlier.
Mike McConnell know it. Now, let's go on to some issues.
I like to deal with issues. Yes, segment brought it up an hour
ago. Pete Rose said he wishes he had an interpreter back in nineteen eighty
ninety scot Free and that's funny, but there was a basketball player with the
Raptors pulled him out. That's right, he took him out of the game,
him out of he didn't play last night. What did the Bernie bickerstaff,
the Detroit Pistons coach was getting threats. There was a couple of players
on the Indiana Pacers getting threats, So Showtani's rep set. At one point
he paid off the four point five million for his interpreter. The next day
they revised and extended those remarks and said he did not pay four point five
million to the interpreter. And this player for the Raptors, it was like
a four and a half if he made over four and a half field goals
over wins, and he allegedly bet under so he couldn't make another field goal
in his mind, and he was missing shots, including layups, and it's
like, well, no, wait a minute, and we're surprised this this
is happening. Seg Man was surprised. Yes, really, you can guarantee
you're going to miss a shot, but you can't get you're going to make
a shot. So you can guarantee I can miss this shot, but you
can't guarantee I'm going to make a shot. And lunchly there were tens of
thousands and bets. What is this going to do to sports? If people
think that the matyors that they're watching that are supposed to be giving it they're
all for the sake of them, the glory of the game, are found
out to be shaving points and throwing games and maybe not giving a good effort
and affecting their bets. The mess. It'll be a mess. I'm always
major sports organizations are going to curse the day they wrap their arms around gambling
this much. They get it for money, like government has wrapped their arms
around gambling because of money. Yeah, and pot and marijuana and also other
illegal substances. What's the next prostitution? I don't know, yeah at this
point, but Shane, either that or another drug though they'll make like you
know, mushrooms will be legal or whatever. So the Dodgers spend what seven
hundred million dollars, why would you bet? Of course, in the first
two or three years is at the league minimum. However, you're still making
two three hundred thousand dollars. But in LA that's not a lot of money.
Right now, he's making more money than the US Treasury, and so
why would you bet? And you bet through a surrogate. Like the guy
you see who got the call from the Alabama coach baseball that wall store pitchers
not going in about an hour. He hustles down to a betting place and
puts a large wager on Alabama to lose baseball, and that went up went
a wait, well you're betting how much on Alabama baseball to lose? And
that was like a red flag. They checked it out and the guy got
in trouble. You always use a surrogate, never do it yourself. Pete
Rose. Generally bet through a surrogate, right, And but the people that
are doing that think that that's going to cover them. But of course isn't
people investigate such things are smart and they know you're not going to play to
bet yourselves. But okay, who's in your closest person to them? You
would use this segment or you would use Eddie fingers, use Eddy fingers the
hair. I look, I I we have the you know, South Carolina
North Carolina game tomorrow. I was just in the coaches meeting. Coaches told
me their quarterback isn't gonna play and also their star wide receivers hurt. So
boom, here's the line, here's the money to make a bet. About
a month ago, the Kansas Jayhawks are playing in the conference tournament. Unbeknownst
to many, their two best players, star players, weren't gonna play the
line on Kansas. They were up seven and then they win by seven.
They went down to win by two and they lost. Anyway. I think
you see beat them or some beat them. And if somebody knew that ahead
of time, either beat them by twenty, beat them by close, and
so what are we doing here? And it's like, well, uh,
you have to police yourself. And these betting parlor segment tells me. It
used to be one of my Ballpark the Great American But they took it outside,
MGM took it outside because nobody was going to the betting parlor. Now
it's packed in stack next to the Holy Grail. And so we didn't bet
anywhere. Now right at a casino anything you sitting there show on your phone,
right exactly. That's what Lance mcallish are telling me. That good thing
for some about freedom and libertarian and do what you want. But is that
a good thing for a person or society to be able to bet at any
single moment of any single It used to be difficult to bet. You had
to go get your car really really want to make a bet. Now I
know people that that you can place bets during the game, during the game,
not before the game, not no no oy. Hey all right,
well now there's this prop bet and pull out the phone parlays and everything else.
What you be interestinggency in like ten years was is this a good experiment
that Ohio just went through or not? So? I think there's a few
states that doesn't have it right now. It used to be Ohio was an
outlier. Now it's kind of normal. And I don't know what to say
that don't have it as California, which which is unbelievable, just unbelievable.
I have everything else. Otani needs money like a carter needs pills. I
mean, but this interpreter, why would his repersent Otani's reps say Otani gave
him the money to pay the bookie And the next day they said, oh,
he didn't give him the money. He needs to get some better representation
and freaking and say look, here's a pre statement and then shut the hell
up. No, you're rolling, shut your mouth. But at that point
I would have to assume they had evidence based upon the idea that Otani paid
off the bets to the illegal bookie. That's why they said it, to
make it look as if he was helping a friend to help a friend in
need for four and a half million dollars. No, I got a lot
of friends. I ain't help him for four and a half million bucks.
Say seg, would you help a friend for four and a half mil if
he's giving it to me? Yeah. But the answer to or the question
about why are they gambling? Why is this guy who has millions and millions
of dollar has millions of dollars in endorsements, nothing else to do? Nothing,
else, and that's a big part of baseball, a lot of downtime
board or you know. You ask any gambler, I asked Pete Road.
It's the excitement. It's not the money. It's the win or the loss.
Right. A lot of people love to lose because it confirms their view
of themself as a loser. So they keep wanting to lose. Because I
know I'm a loser. I'm a human piece of excrement, and therefore I
want to feel bad. I'm going to do things to make me feel bad.
I want to bet so I feel bad, and then when you win,
you want to get rid of that win because you want to feel bad.
You know what I'm saying. Say it's paranoid, schizophrentic with effective components.
You know what I'm saying. This show Yeah, anyway, would you
ever use eddie fingers to make a bet? No? I have not.
In my mother's life, have never placed a wager on a sporting that I
won't. I I purposefully don't learn the ins and outs of gambling because I
just don't want to be tempted by it. Not with what I do,
I just can't do it. And you got a bridge expert coming on,
there's this ship right to your left. Yeah, flickered on, flickered off
and all of a sudden. So so the big, the big thing I
heard this morning. A lot of the people on TV were like, oh,
well, it looked like the you know, the pier that was holding
up the middle of the bridge was too small and was there enough safety things?
And I talked to my buddy, Kevin Brem. He's a big bridge
builder, it's what he does, and he's like, these they have these
mechanisms called dolphins, and it's like some sort of under goes und it's underneath
the water in the pier where if something hits it, it kind of divers,
he said. But it's exorbitantly expensive and the older bridges don't have it.
So what are we talking about with this? You physically can't build these
things on bridges, and there's too much money needed in too many other places.
That's what people don't want to face the reality of is we can't,
you know, can't fortify everything to the nth degree because everything the money needs
to go everywhere. Randy freaking On about an hour ago said that this will
take ten years to resolve. There's millions of victims, including the glass action
lossits I'm sure, and the company's collectible, and it's going to take years
to rebuild this bridge, and there's inconvenience factor. And all it took was
a how many people did go across that bridge at thirty five thousand? So
the story now is that the boat's power went out. That's why the lights
were flickering, lickering on and off, and then he lost control. So
when the power goes out, you lose the ability to steer them. And
he needed a backup generator, a backup, a backup, a backup that
he did send a May day out May they made a flight. The police
held the traffic back just a little bit, a little bit what they could
forty am not thank god, there wasn't a lot of traffic at one forty
in the morning. And I'm reading on the Wall Street Journal that most of
the most of the cars that leave America to foreign ports leave this particular port,
and eight hundred and fifty thousand cars a year they're not going anywhere because
they are not going How long is that going to sit there? And agriculture,
how many how much traffic across that bridge is there. Well, thirty
five thousand cars, maybe seventy thousand people, thirty five thousand cars a day,
a day a day, and all of a sudden that that's not gonna
be available for another ten years. Ten years. They got to they got
to tear down the old one and then build a new one. No,
it'll be it'll be eight years. Well the BS companion bridges, they say
three to five years. Now is that the main bridge or the supplementary bridge?
This is the main bridge. We have three bridges. We have the
one that's there now, a new one, and then a companion. Well
we're gonna have the one there now in a companion bridge. That's two.
But the new one is not going to tear anything down. You just got
to build a new one. That's three to five years to build a new
one. And yes, for twenty twenty two. I remember have on Charlie
Lucan and O one he said we got to build a new bridge. One.
It's been twenty three years. And then it was griping between Kentucky and
Ohio, that one where they got tolls. Kentucky wants tolls Ohio. Does
I know all that? It just sat there, Well, this bridge and
an emergency. How many months will it take to get it down to zero
before they start building it up? Oh, it's inflation agricultural products. Eighty
percent of the agricultural products in the East Coast come out of this. I
can't believe it was because a power out is can cause you to lose control
of the steering mechanisms for the boat. Brandy freaking said, is it foreseeable
and negligent law? And must be foreseeable? Could this be for sealed?
Yes, this is foreseeable. Do you have a backup to about up to
a backup generator which might cost ten thousand dollars to make sure this doesn't happen.
They didn't have it, But when it happens once a century, you
better have it. You know, we had bridges collapse, including oh yeah,
but how many times have we had a bridge running to by a humongous
shipping. Almost anything could have run into that except the sky The old Skyway
bridge in Tampa was hit by a boat by a boat, and now looked
what they got. They got a gigantic new bridge there that they go under
with no problem. Unbelievable. Sega's out it in sports? Will he the
